Rangers Transfer Rumours

22 Jun 2026 16:22:20
Rice confirmed by Rangers.

22 Jun 2026 16:29:50
Straight out on loan John or with the first team this season?

22 Jun 2026 16:34:00
Burt, I'd loan but it's a year with one year option so boy has to deliver quick.

22 Jun 2026 16:34:57
Hopefully goes out to Kilmarnock and he can replicate Curtis.

22 Jun 2026 16:36:45
Always liked him.
Fingers crossed he can kick on.

22 Jun 2026 16:42:06
Lined up to move to Killie as per Chris Jack.

22 Jun 2026 17:03:35
There is no way Rice will go out on loan if he has only signed on for a year *with a 1 ext. year optional. It's sink or swim time for him, and I hope he smashes it this year. The talent is there, it just needs to be coached properly.

22 Jun 2026 17:06:30
Who Declan? 😜

22 Jun 2026 17:18:31
I would imagine he has already agreed with the club if he is out on loan or challenging for first team since he only signed for an initial year. Glad he has signed tho.

22 Jun 2026 17:33:42
I'm not sure Rice is ready for Kilmarnock in terms of game-ready and free from injury. I think he would be better off with a loan to a smaller team for 6 months before going to Killie.

Also, if Rangers thought he had real talent, then it would be a longer contract. If he is successful wherever he goes, then Rangers will only have him for 6 months before he can speak to other clubs.

22 Jun 2026 18:01:03
We have an option of another year, Kip.

22 Jun 2026 18:57:12
If Killie is his destination, then a ready made replacement for Watson in the squad. Morton till Jan, and review thereafter, would be perfect all round imho.

22 Jun 2026 20:10:12
Let's hope the boy has an injury free season so he can kick. Was happy to see he re-signed today.

22 Jun 2026 20:18:31
Hearts were apparently interested in him, so I imagine Del will want a look at what he can do first.

22 Jun 2026 21:29:34
Hopefully Rice can now develop into a complete box to box midfielder with crisp passing who snaps into the tackle, one where there's a crackle of excitement in the crowd every time he takes a pop from outside the box. I had a feeling letting the boy leave would be a poor bit of business that we'd come to regret much like the sale of Cereal Dessers at the start of last season, so I'm pleased to hear this.

There is actually some truth in that, I will add, lol.

22 Jun 2026 11:50:10
Any truth in Rangers looking at japan right back takehiro tomiyasa.

22 Jun 2026 12:25:03
Would doubt it but I would be pretty delighted with that.

22 Jun 2026 12:27:10
Went to Ajax in January and didn't quite work out.

I think he's now on a free. Was loosely linked a few weeks back.

22 Jun 2026 12:37:16
Hopefully not.

A worse injury record than Sterling.

Terrible signing.

22 Jun 2026 12:38:14
Has been out injured for the best part of 2 seasons.

22 Jun 2026 12:58:41
Hope not. His injury record is abysmal.

22 Jun 2026 20:54:08
Tomiyasu was out with a knee injury that he had surgery on & the surgery didn't work the first time around, so he's not had a preseason for 2 years. He would be a fantastic signing, as he's got experience in Serie A & the Premier League, and can play RB, CB & LB.



Give him 1 year with an option another, then there's little risk if it doesn't work out & big payoff if it works out.

22 Jun 2026 10:52:06
Been consistent with this but been told by someone who would know

We are going all out for Ferguson and Braga, his words were, he would be surprised if we didn't get them both
Cavanagh is personally going all out on Ferguson

Best player in the league last year, and the best player in a Scotland jersey thus far at the World Cup would be a solid statement of intent

22 Jun 2026 11:20:08
That signals to me that there will be a big sale because those two would be the best part of 20m.

22 Jun 2026 11:24:32
Been consistent with the opposite stance on Ferguson.
And I believe Braga is not a goer unless a couple of strikers leave from - Chermiti, Miovski & Danilo.
Meeting a contractor from work on Wednesday, who knows CEO Gillespie. I'll pick his brains for info, but he very rarely, if ever, gives anything away.

22 Jun 2026 11:37:51
Raskin, Gersgirl

Verbally agreed deal.

22 Jun 2026 11:40:39
Correct info on 2/3 strikers, MPH.

Miovski/Danilo.

Braga can play all over the frontline.

22 Jun 2026 11:45:58
Best player in a Scottish jersey is not hard considering we've been mince again as usual, & seen nothing in Ferguson that makes him worth £15 million. Braga wasn't the best player in Scotland, he may have won POTY but he went missing for the 2nd half of the season & disappeared when the pressure got tough.

22 Jun 2026 11:57:28
I personally don't want Braga. Would not spend that money on him.

If I was playing for Scotland I would be the best player on the park. 😂

22 Jun 2026 12:04:07
Braga walks into Rangers and is arguably your best player. He is better than Cerny, he's better than Mikey Moore in terms of stats, and I don't need to mention Antman or Skov-Olsen's performances lol. However, I am pretty baffled how we haven't gone for Elijah Just, which I've said on previous posts too.

I'd bite your hand off for Braga, but very shocked we haven't sounded out Just. I'll be gutted if he goes to Celtic!

22 Jun 2026 12:12:53
Did Cerny not have better stats? Am not sure Braga would be the right fit for us.

22 Jun 2026 12:14:46
I liked the look of the Plymouth striker Tolaj we were linked with, sure I read he had a 4/5m clause, busy player, good link up, gets goals and assists.

22 Jun 2026 12:18:19
Sorry, I meant, I think Braga is a better player than Cerny overall, but in terms of Moore, Braga had better stats. I don't think he's better than Moore overall, mate.

I would prefer we used the money to buy Braga instead of Cerny, just feel he offers more. I think 3/4 of the season, Braga was the best player in the league by a long shot.

22 Jun 2026 12:28:11
The lad from Plymouth looks like he's going to Celtic.


As for Braga, he's not worth the fee Hearts would want. He went right off the boil the last 8 weeks of the season.

22 Jun 2026 12:32:12
I think I'm the only one that likes Braga. But yet again, I think Barrons is our best player. ControversialBlue. 😂

22 Jun 2026 12:34:32
Ferguson yes. Braga No.

22 Jun 2026 12:37:21
Ferguson? I am saying nothing. Lol.

22 Jun 2026 12:57:08
With Storm he was not at level of money Hearts will want couple million maybe anything above that nope.

And this Cavanaugh personally going out to sign people do people think he's using his own money or something lol its club devt that will pay for these signings.

22 Jun 2026 12:59:50
Slim Jim, you better hope we don't sign him. 😂

22 Jun 2026 13:00:00
Why are you comparing Braga, a striker, with Cerny and Moore, both wide players and different types at that? Cerny's goal return, for a winger, was excellent in his season with us.

22 Jun 2026 13:11:26
Strom, not having a go, but who would you like us to sign? Always see a lot of negativity, but never a solution. Ferguson improves us in every way.

22 Jun 2026 13:30:00
Wslger beat me to it, to compare Braga with Moore and Cerny, to me, is quite frankly absurd.

22 Jun 2026 13:36:40
If the fee Hearts are rumoured to be looking for Braga is correct, then we should be looking elsewhere. My preference would be for Dion Beljo (195cm). He is a 24-year-old Croatian professional footballer who plays as a centre-forward for GNK Dinamo Zagreb. 30 goals in 36 appearances.

22 Jun 2026 13:49:36
Absolutely, Bobby, this lad would tear Scotland apart, and we always love a Croatian striker at the Bears. We should be trying to sign this lad 100%, and would be 10x the striker Braga is.

22 Jun 2026 14:33:15
We're not after Ferguson.

22 Jun 2026 14:39:19
I want Ferguson signed and have said that as much on here, blue. I wanted him signed when at Aberdeen.

Braga has had one good season and he is nowhere near as good as Cerny. He is also not an out and out striker either. He is in 10 or just behind striker, our left or right.

22 Jun 2026 15:00:34
Sorry, Irvine Blue, Braga ain't better than Cerny, mate. 🤔 Cerny all day long for me, and like Storm and a few of the other guys, I'm not at all fussed about signing Braga and personally don't think we will. 🤔 🇬🇧

22 Jun 2026 15:00:41
100% yes to both.

22 Jun 2026 15:03:25
Yeah I'm a bit lost with the Braga/Cerny/Moore comparisons. Surely Braga is not being thought of as a traditional winger, which the other two are.

Totally get that he can play off a side and still be effective and it gets you an extra striker on the pitch, but he's not a winger.

If he played off a side, you would definitely need a traditional winger on the other side.

For what it's worth, I also think Chermiti would be effective off the left at times, a lot of his best work has come from there.

22 Jun 2026 14:40:53
Wsl and Gjd83 - Braga was played on the left wing at the start of the season there for Hearts then moved to striker. He can play left wing, striker and as a 10. How you didn't know that, Gjd, is quite frankly absurd.

If he signed for Rangers, I imagine he would be used on the left with Shankland and Chermiti being the strikers. Or as the ten and keep Curtis on the left. You can't tell me that isn't a solid attack!

22 Jun 2026 14:46:42
AR32, what info do you have regarding nico Raskin mate 🤔 Which club is our verbal agreement with to sell Raskin and what is the fee 🤔

22 Jun 2026 15:49:30
Bobby, that is absolutely the sort of signing I'd like to see with numbers like that.

22 Jun 2026 15:45:06
Ryan you think we are going with one in one out when we only have 2 cbs 1 rb and 1 lb at the club forgive me for not believing your source lol

22 Jun 2026 16:21:23
This lad would tear it up in Scotland. This lad would score for fun in Scotland. Two statements that make me cringe every time I read it. How many times has that been posted on this page? I even remember someone posted McBurnie would score for fun at Rangers. Absolute nonsense these statements.

22 Jun 2026 17:07:21
Don't like it, don't read it then!

I don't care what anyone else has to say regarding the lad, this is a lad I've watched for some time due to finding him in FM, so I've seen him play quite a fair bit, and he would destroy the Scottish league.

Absolute nonsense post on a forum that is solely for every member to contribute something.

22 Jun 2026 17:55:44
You tell him Bbj 😉, bit of Elton, bud? Rocket 🚀 man do. 🎶🤣

22 Jun 2026 18:23:21
Wow, heard it all now, he played well on FM so he will most definitely make the grade at Rangers, no words for that.

Come on Fork, could easily have gotten more emojis in that one sentence, disappointed.

22 Jun 2026 18:32:42
One will try harder, Weeker. 😉🤣👍👍

22 Jun 2026 18:37:33
That's the spirit.

22 Jun 2026 18:34:31
Where did I say I was basing my opinion on him based on FM, I said that's how I became aware of him so I started watching games of his as and when I could. Maybe learn to read first instead of just blindly seeing FM and jumping the gun.

22 Jun 2026 18:49:50
How did Cerny get on in Turkey? Did he have a decent season??

22 Jun 2026 18:51:42
Aww BBJ are you feeling upset that someone doesn't agree with your post?

He has had one good season in Croatia, flopped in Germany, flopped in Austria so on what grounds do you base the he will tear it up in Scotland then?

22 Jun 2026 19:31:47
Irvine Blue, are we playing Curtis on the left, Chermiti and Shankland up front and Braga as a 10. Wow, we're really going all out in attack with that line up. Braga may well have been played coming off the left, but he was not played as a winger like either Cerny or Moore, so the comparison in numbers is not really relevant.

I would say that I think that Cerny probably scored more goals in his season with Rangers than Braga did last season, and if he is better than Moore we'll see a lot of EPL clubs in for him in the summer, maybe Brighton.

22 Jun 2026 19:57:19
Upset, not at all because you didn't disagree, instead you chose to be a dick because I agreed with another poster and made some comments that you find absolute nonsense.

Well playing in Germany for a team that is usually bottom half of the table when he was just a young lad, doesn't tell me anything as many young lads struggle when they leave home early.

The thing that tells me he would is the eye test and how he has matured over the past couple of years.

Maybe come back when you have something of substance to say.

22 Jun 2026 20:49:41
I said the He will score goals for fun and tear it up in Scotland quotes are ridiculous, you got all upset. How many times do we see that on this site and players can't adapt and end up leaving without any impact what-so-ever?

You got all upset as someone called you out for Ure coming here to be 3rd or 4th choice and now you are wandering about the house looking for that dummy you spat out!

22 Jun 2026 21:26:20
Bbj, tbf I signed Dio for Rangers in FM a season before joining us & he hasn't hit the highs I had him at. Think I signed Beljo at some point too.

22 Jun 2026 10:30:33
James Penrice name reappearing on TransferFeed and it's saying he is "expected to join as part of the club's signing policy, which is described as Scottish first"

22 Jun 2026 10:37:41
Well if we are going Scottish first then we are definitely screwed ain't we because end of the day Scottish players just ain't good enough, a couple of exceptions ofc.

22 Jun 2026 11:23:01
BBJ, Brian Clough did pretty well with a group of Scots and undervalued misfits pulled in from other clubs. Those Scots were the backbone for both Derby and Nottingham Forest. Maybe DM can work the same magic as Clough. I for one would love to see it happen.

22 Jun 2026 11:26:46
Bigblue the foreign lads of last season weren't good enough either

22 Jun 2026 11:31:17
Well good enough for being squad players.

22 Jun 2026 11:38:47
TKF, that's great if we were still stuck in time but unfortunately time flows forward and the game is different now.

Bunster, I don't disagree that some of them weren't good enough, but that's a recruitment issue, but if we are going "Scottish first", then we are 100% not winning anything as I have stated before. Any Scottish players that are good enough aren't playing in Scotland and we can't afford.

I just want players with good enough ability signed and the right mentality.

Take the rumoured interest in Graham. He is holding out for a move to Pompey or elsewhere down south, and yet he shouldn't even be good enough to come to Rangers as a starter.

22 Jun 2026 11:40:27
Didn't realise Trump was in charge of recruitment. The "Scottish" this & that needs to stop, cause it doesn't matter if they aren't good enough. Penrice might be decent, but people seem to forget we've had Scottish players in recent years that have been terrible. Celtic have dominated with minimal Scottish players.

22 Jun 2026 11:45:30
Star, so you criticise me on banter for saying to sign Ure as 3rd or 4th choice and state why would they join for that, yet here you are stating that they're good enough for squad players.



So our signing policy of "Scottish first" should be used for squad players?? So our policy means we make no progress as all we are targeting is squad players first!

Make it make sense.

22 Jun 2026 11:49:18
Penrice just won the Greek league, which by all accounts is harder than ours. He walks into our squad easily and will give Rommens a reason to play for the position.

22 Jun 2026 11:52:08
Scotland 1st is worrying. Watch the WC if anyone needs reminding. Get having a flavour but that's plenty.

22 Jun 2026 11:57:53
Both Penrice and Rommens are equally at home in a wide midfield position and at left back - When required, both could play. I welcome this potential signing and am glad we have a policy of signing Scottish players again.

We have always done well with a sold spine of Scottish players and it will happen again, bringing in players who know exactly what it means to be a Rangers player.

22 Jun 2026 12:01:16
Scotland first just means if 2 players are of similar quality the Scottish player will be signed. It doesn't mean only sign Scottish boys.

22 Jun 2026 12:16:27
Penrice, McCrorie, Watt, Milne, Graham, all good squad players challenging for starts, not 3rd or 4th choice, massive difference, Bigbluejim.

22 Jun 2026 12:19:56
He already clarified what Scottish first means. If there are two players of the same ability, then we will go for the Scottish one. It doesn't mean we are only looking at Scottish players.

22 Jun 2026 12:10:16
Bigbluejim, big difference from playing regularly and being 3rd 4th, probably too much for you, McCrorie, Penrice, both very capable fullbacks in our squad, not 3rd 4th choice, batting for starts, Watt is another good squad player that would fight for the first team, many others, Graham, Milne good squad players, we should have at least 8 Scottish players out of a squad of 28.

22 Jun 2026 12:29:09
Thanks for the clarification Murph, guess we won't be signing any Scottish players then.

Star last time I'm responding to you because you keep jumping on anything I say because I disagreed with your opinion, which by track record is mostly wrong.

22 Jun 2026 12:59:38
Agree with mystar, definitely good enough for squad places, then some might just surprise us and force into starters.

But, like people have said before, I think it's more important for the whole attitude of the squad rather than just their talent.

These domestic players that maybe support club will be ones who dig deep and win that extra tackle or chase that lost cause. We will always need these type of players.

22 Jun 2026 12:59:58
No issues, bbj. I'm sure Cavanagh said end of the season we will prioritise players with SPFL experience or Scottish, and then went on to explain that basically if they want a certain profile of player, and they see one matching that in the SPFL or that is Scottish, and another who is of similar quality, then they would choose the player with experience or Scottish over the other player.

Say, for example, they are looking at tall, athletic RB's with good xA per 90 (better stat to look at rather than assists as the assist is reliant on the other player finishing it), and good duels won numbers, and there are none in Scotland or that are Scottish, then they would go get a player from Belgium, Holland, etc.

that matches that, but if there was one in Scotland they would choose that player, but cost etc. would come into it as well I reckon even though he didn't say that.

22 Jun 2026 13:03:19
Jumping on nothing, having my say, very good Bigbluejim.
Naw, you said Mciness wasn't hoof ball, which I did find amusing.

22 Jun 2026 13:05:46
The problem for Graham, I have read, is that he doesn't want to come to Rangers and be a backup, which I don't agree he would be, but if that's what he thinks, that might stop him coming. So, if we roll this on to Penrice, why would he come here knowing that Rommens is first choice and he has little chance of playing unless he gets injured.

It's a bit like being signed as a right back over the last few years, you were never going to play in front of Tav.

22 Jun 2026 13:08:46
Was even lol.

22 Jun 2026 13:38:16
WSL, it depends. I mean, we as fans say you're not getting ahead of Rommens, but maybe McInnes will see Penrice as the better player. The other part is, does the player believe in themselves enough to break into the team? Then, looking at LB as compared to CB, you're looking at a position with 2 players competing for a single starting spot.

Requires a lot more leg work and getting up and down the park compared to CB. Therefore, more likely to see rotations in there as opposed to CB being 2 positions between 4/5 players and requiring much less rotation. You can then add are they fans of the club, age, wages, etc. Too many variables.

22 Jun 2026 14:03:26
That is what I want: where 2 players are about same level and can be rotated, or if one is injured, there is no drop off in quality.

We moan incesantly about players coming for the wage and beign a wage thief, and then recommend a player who would come and be happy to be 3rd or 4th choice.

The player may not be happy, btw, but fans seem to be, well, until they ehar what he is on per week that is.

22 Jun 2026 14:49:55
Broste, what's the World Cup got to do with us signing Scottish players mate. 🤔 That tournament has absolutely no reflection on Rangers signing Scottish talent that can not only handle playing for Rangers and the expectations but also can play in our Scottish league. 🤔🇬🇧

22 Jun 2026 14:52:50
I'd sign James Penrice in a heartbeat for Rangers and he's a really good left back, who, I've said since his Livingston days, should have been signed by us and he'd come in a heartbeat 👍 Trust me, we are interested in signing him and have been since January. 👍 🇬🇧

22 Jun 2026 15:13:41
If I remember correctly, the lads got a wand of a delivery. There is going to be plenty game time for him.

Scottish, first thing, I am on board with to an extent as long as we are recruiting the best available.

Success has nearly always had Scottish core/club enthusiasts and league experienced in the squad. It has and will help.



Supplement that with guys that are technically gifted projects and experienced European guys.

We were signing Aasgaard, and he was expected to carry us to 56. That guy should be a bit part in an experienced squad, and have no pressure to carry the can until he's ready.

We have been picking the decor before the foundations are in.

22 Jun 2026 15:51:01
I liked that last sentence, Coully. Correct, but Stevie Wonder picking the decor lol.

22 Jun 2026 16:03:02
SWS, it has a lot to do with it. We're not very good so why would we want to fill our team with Scottish players just cos.
I'm all in favour of getting a few in, but would hope that we're looking beyond our own league for the majority.

Lots go on about not getting players in from the English Championship, but the quality in the SPFL is worse.

22 Jun 2026 19:28:47
Broste, nobody on here is saying fill our team with Scottish players mate. 😲

22 Jun 2026 20:22:29
SWS, I'd suggest a few are which was.
Reason of my point on Scottish first. If I've misunderstood, fine, that's on me.
As Bill Shankly once said :-
If you've got three Scots in your side, you've got a chance of winning something. If you've got any more, you're in trouble.

I wholeheartedly agree with his sentiment.

22 Jun 2026 21:58:59
Being Scottish or playing in Scotland doesn't mean you suddenly know what it is like to play for Rangers & the pressure.

Luke Graham, for example, is playing for Dundee, whose objective is survival, where you can expect to lose & sit back, but at Rangers he'd be in a team expected to win every game & make no mistakes, as the fans would jump on his back. Played 35 games in the SPL one season. I personally think we need an experienced CB.

Penrice is a different story, he's experienced a relegation team & a team like Hearts, who'd be fighting Hibs & Aberdeen for 3rd most times. He's now at Athens, whose expectations are challenging for the title, so he might handle the pressure.

22 Jun 2026 10:10:20
Just read on X we have, allegedly, made a £5m bid for Cerny. In other news @Spurswatch saying young Moore will go on loan again this season.

22 Jun 2026 10:25:14
Buckey of salt on Cerny rumour, Football Insider - I never trust them lol.

22 Jun 2026 10:36:35
I would love something in this. He was a great player for us, though mixed rumours of not wanting to come back here, don't know if true or not.
But Cerny, a class player.

22 Jun 2026 10:37:58
Was reading something yesterday saying Olsen is wanted by the club Cerny plays for.

22 Jun 2026 10:38:41
Thanks for the info. Would be great if we could get him, however, TruebluegerAL is right, that guy Keith Wyness spouts a load of fish.

Let's hope he is right for once. :-)

22 Jun 2026 10:38:45
We don't want him back on loan. He joins full time, or we shouldn't be bringing him back to the detriment of our own.

22 Jun 2026 10:42:37
I would take Cerny back in a heartbeat.

22 Jun 2026 10:45:05
BBJ, who in our own youth set up is as good as Mikey Moore?

22 Jun 2026 11:00:07
Don't know if you've heard of him, DTB, but we have a young lad called Curtis.

22 Jun 2026 11:02:02
DoTheBouncy, if you give Finlay Curtis the matches he needs, he will be as good as Mickey Moore. I highly rate Curtis, but he needs to be given the first team matches to show what he can do. Also, there are a few talented youngsters coming through as well, like Zebadee Lawson, who just need first team matches.

22 Jun 2026 11:04:38
MyStar, apparently, Besiktas are in talks to either permanently sign Skov Olsen or loan with buy option/obligation.

So, in theory, Cerny could be available. From what I'm seeing, Keith Wyness done an interview in which he said he could see Rangers signing Cerny for £5m, and then the Turkish media have grabbed that from Football Insider and added that we've made a £5m offer, which I don't think is true at this point, but would love Cerny back.

22 Jun 2026 11:04:48
One of my mates was told by a work colleague that he saw a post on X by a Turkish journo that new Besiktas boss Vincenzo Italiano (ex Bologna boss) wants Barron as he's a long-time admirer and Cerny isn't in his plans for the new season.

A player plus cash deal was suggested. I'm taking it that it'd be Barron plus cash from us. I know it's probably Bs as it's a Turkish journo and they post anything for clicks. Had a look myself and couldn't find anything about it.

22 Jun 2026 11:07:23
Dtb, I'd say none are technically as good, but Curtis is more effective when you look at his numbers.

I would rather give Curtis the space to grow and develop than give it to Moore, for Spurs to sell him out with our financial power, and stunt Curtis' growth for another year.

You also need to weigh up: do we want to lose Curtis on a cheap deal because his access to the first team is closed again, just to develop a player for Spurs who, yes, could play a big part in us getting silverware, but I also think Curtis could play a big role in that.

Spot on Ayrshire. 👍

22 Jun 2026 13:03:11
Moore would come to help us win the league. Plenty of room for him and Curtis, who can always play closer to no9, as well as Moore can play as a 10. We play 60+ games a season, so not a problem having both without affecting Curtis' growth in the team. Think we are jumping the gun on Moore returning anyway.

22 Jun 2026 13:15:02
I wish people would stop quoting Lawson, McGuire, Glasgow and Scally as first team options. They are just boys of 16/17 years old, and although they look good, they are nowhere near ready to be first team players in a team challenging for the league. Saying we should not sign Moore as it prevents Lawson playing is nonsense.

The players who may be kept around the first team will be the likes of Nsio, Adamson, Burnside, Hutton, Gentles and Munn, who have had loans, are a bit older and a bit more physically developed. I am not saying that they are good enough as I haven't seen them play much, but they are all a step further along the pathway.

22 Jun 2026 14:37:22
Wall, how many times you watched Lawson play?

22 Jun 2026 15:17:52
Cerny is a no brainer, that's your right wing slot filled for 3 years minimum, sign or develop an up and comer to play back up/sub on later in games, and eventually, ideally, take over the slot and add value down the line. Get experienced players into this squad asap please Rangers.

22 Jun 2026 15:34:57
Foully, I'd take corny, then Lawson as back up.

22 Jun 2026 15:58:49
Spot on, Coully. 👍 Cerny would solve our right wing position easily for the 3 years you state, mate. 🤔 It's been a problem position for us except when we had Cerny on loan. 🤔

22 Jun 2026 16:53:59
Curtis is ready now, Moore can stay where he is, or go elsewhere, don't really care tbh, he's not all that, he may be someday, but not for me.

22 Jun 2026 17:10:49
Wsl, what does age matter? Heard of a young lad called Yamal who at 16 was scoring for one of the best footballing teams in history and also one of the best national teams on the planet.

Age means heehaw, it's all about talent and the right mentality.

22 Jun 2026 17:56:46
Shame he's a dick though.

22 Jun 2026 18:35:29
Aye, maybe off the park storm I would agree but cannot deny what he does on it, pal.

22 Jun 2026 20:12:02
Fork, bbj not Storm. 😉🤣

21 Jun 2026 22:08:41
Had a conversation with one of our new assistant managers sons ( won't mention names ) been told we expected at least 8 in before any sales then a one for one replacement been told we would like a squad of 30 next year incontrance to Rohl liking a smaller squad.

21 Jun 2026 22:32:33
One for one replacement possibly Raskin for Ferguson then? Going by some of the posts in here.

21 Jun 2026 23:21:58
Only way we run with a squad of 30 is if included 5/6 youth players.

22 Jun 2026 00:09:55
Meant to clarify, ovbs we will be selling at the same time, but we expect to sign 8 this summer on top of replacing any outgoings.

22 Jun 2026 02:15:10
Sounds more like it, Sam of Orange.

I've heard there will be at least 6 players in regardless who goes?

Contrary to what a few other posters are reporting.

22 Jun 2026 02:15:43
McInnes confirmed, then we will start to see some of those signings.

22 Jun 2026 07:27:42
Rohl also wanted a squad of 30. He just didn't want it to be made up with players who lack motivation, as they know they are unlikely to be part of the majority of matchday squads. Typically, for most training sessions, you want around 30 players.

22 Jun 2026 09:22:12
So how do you combat that, EHL? Would it have to include youths like Lawson, Scally and Glasgow?

22 Jun 2026 09:25:44
As it should be, 2 players for each position, carry an extra GK and forward, the rest of the squad backed up by academy players.

22 Jun 2026 10:39:02
Trouble with that is Scally, Lawson, Glasgow, etc. need games to develop. Great that they would train with the first team, but ideally they need somewhere they can play football.

21 Jun 2026 21:34:24
I'm being told tonight by a well known journalist if mcinness wants to bring Naismith to Rangers that there will be know opposition from the club.

21 Jun 2026 22:41:28
I don't have an issue with it. If DM thinks he brings value to the set up, good enough for me.

21 Jun 2026 22:55:38
Same, Pieter, he's good enough that does me.

21 Jun 2026 22:57:46
Got to agree with that. Shouldn't be an issue.

21 Jun 2026 23:24:08
Yup he's a good coach. 💪

22 Jun 2026 01:03:00
If Mac wants him there, even with the history, then he must think he brings something special. That's good enough for me.

22 Jun 2026 02:39:07
I don't want him anywhere near Ibrox.

22 Jun 2026 06:36:14
I have to agree with Storm, Rangers Football Club should not pay that man another single penny. He showed his true colours back then, and we should not just accept him back with open arms. It's a big fat No from me.

22 Jun 2026 07:05:06
Don't think it'll happen.

There was some talk of Alec Cleland coming in.

22 Jun 2026 07:23:16
It's one way to show Dm is his own man.

And actually, what Naismith did we would all have done; if Naismith was guilty of anything back then, it was naivety!

22 Jun 2026 07:31:15
He made a mistake in what he said and recognised it a few years later. He was clearly being told what to say and do by his legal team, just as plenty others have done and will do again in future. Forget and forgive.

22 Jun 2026 07:40:29
Naismith is clearly well regarded as a backroom staff member, been at a couple of clubs up here and now Scotland.

22 Jun 2026 07:53:38
John asked me before if McInnes brought Naismith in would I get behind it. 🤔 My answer was I want the best for Rangers and will support Derek McInnes and whoever he chooses to bring to our club, but like Storm I would prefer Naismith wasn't brought back to Rangers and that's me being polite and all I'll say on it. 🤔

22 Jun 2026 08:14:45
He's got 3 he's always worked with. Genuine question, does he need another? And does he need 1 that will irk many of the fan base this early into his time as Rangers Manager? I think he's clever enough not to at this time. Maybe when he's got credit in the bank?

Personally, I have no grudge against Naismith, his words were clumsy, but we've all said silly things at some stage.

I understand those who would oppose his appointment thou.

I'm more interested in who's going to be implementing his plan on the field.

22 Jun 2026 08:23:19
Iron, perhaps it is a chance for the club to show who is on charge though. I think I have been clear on how fed up I am of the tail wagging the dog; and all that has resulted in was the sacking of a few good managers who would with patience and time got us back to winning titles.



He is a good coach, said something which was naive at the time. If Dm wants him, get him in. I am also more interested in what we do on the park during the window.

22 Jun 2026 08:39:05
Angus, as I said, I personally have no issues with it. It will cause an uproar very early in his tenure, thou. That's my only observation. He should be able to appoint who he wants, I agree.

22 Jun 2026 09:19:32
No problem regarding Naismith, was very naive at the time but know personally he is a good coach and believe it or not he's a blue nose.

22 Jun 2026 09:20:32
Honestly, think people are over reacting with Naismith stuff. He did what was best for his career, simple, and Rangers were a show under Green and co. I'm sure it was not a nice place to be around.



People want loyalty and expect players to show loyalty, but our club has shown bad faith to some players in the past, both as bad as each other. Just because we love the club doesn't mean we should be blind to that.

22 Jun 2026 09:52:43
Not for me. I've been very clear about it since that day in 2012. We can do much better than bring in somebody like that. Can't stand him.

22 Jun 2026 09:56:08
Don't want Naismith anywhere near Rangers, boring as a cucumber as well.

22 Jun 2026 10:44:01
Well, look at it this way, lads, if things ain't going well for DM, he can always pass along some of Clarke's tactical genius to help. If I was on my phone I would obviously put many laughing faces here.

22 Jun 2026 13:01:59
I don't like Naismith, but if it's who McInnes thinks will help him get a winning team on the park, I'd accept it.

22 Jun 2026 13:23:18
Of course it's an issue if Nayshame was coming in, and he knows it even if the club doesn't. This would just be another instance of the ownership being out of touch with the support, have they not learned anything from Martin coming in? Why would McInnes risk all his goodwill with this guy when there are plenty of good coaches around.
As for him doing what anyone of us would have done, yes, even as staunch Rangers men we might have left for our careers at that time, like McGregor and Davis did, but I'm pretty sure none of us would have held that press conference and said the things he did at that time when we were all hurting.

That's what I can't forgive him for and the fact that he now recognises that it was a mistake is fair enough but not enough for him to ever be welcomed back to the club.

22 Jun 2026 13:43:33
Great post, wsl. Spot on. 👍

22 Jun 2026 15:44:18
Naismith along with McInness can do one.

22 Jun 2026 16:01:39
GDog, Derek McInnes for me is exactly the correct appointment as our new Rangers manager at this moment in time for me mate and ticks all boxes imo. 🤔
