Rangers Transfer Rumours

14 Jun 2026 13:21:51
A Hearts supporter of many years i know has told me that although derek mcinnes wants to take alan archibald and paul sheerin with him to Rangers to form his backroom team, hearts rate paul sheerin very highly as a coach and he'd be under consideration to replace mcinnes as the new Hearts head coach, very interesting indeed 🤔

14 Jun 2026 13:55:10
Sheerin is Celtic minded.
Doubt he comes.

Look for a Rangers core alongside Del.

14 Jun 2026 14:15:49
Absolutely delighted with this appointment. He's been the obvious choice for years.

14 Jun 2026 14:22:37
Hertz fan I worked with phoned me for a rant. I didn't understand much of it, but I did hear "man eh" a few times. He didn't sound happy. Is McInnes' middle name "Effon"?

14 Jun 2026 14:30:12
I wouldn't be concerned if someone was a Celtic supporter - this is their professional job. There have been many a former Rangers or Celtic supporter that has worked or played for either.



What is important is, are they good at their job and do they have the right chemistry with the manager?

Would be good if EHL got a position though! Although it may stop him giving any news so perhaps not lol! Sorry, EHL!

14 Jun 2026 14:59:46
Would imagine Stevie Smith stays.

14 Jun 2026 15:08:43
Smith will likely go back to an academy role.

14 Jun 2026 15:24:33
Still hearing the same name being mentioned that I heard at the start of the week. Sheerin won't be part of the team from what I've been told.

14 Jun 2026 15:41:35
Very interesting times.

14 Jun 2026 15:49:45
Hi Sir Walter, I heard exactly the same, mate. I did actually put this in the chat yesterday, but probably got lost with all the messages. It's promising when hearing the same type of news.

14 Jun 2026 15:52:02
I've got a feeling Steven Naismith will be given a role, not a rumour, just a gut feeling.

14 Jun 2026 15:52:40
Hi Sir Walter, I heard exactly the same, mate. I did actually put this in the chat yesterday, but probably got lost with all the messages. It's promising when hearing the same type of news.

14 Jun 2026 15:57:38
Naismith and Sheerin would both be good additions to any backroom team. Here they will take up their positions when they get back from the Crusades, which is around the time far too many of our fans' biases still sit.

14 Jun 2026 16:27:45
Would be good if he brought in Billy Dodds.

14 Jun 2026 16:36:57
I think Neil Macann will be next Hearts boss.

14 Jun 2026 16:40:46
As long as he leaves GK Coach Gordon Marshall at Hearts.

14 Jun 2026 17:01:35
What's the odds of McInnes appointing Barry Ferguson as his assistant? It would make a lot of sense, would it not? Those two are Rangers men, related, and Barry has worked with some of these players already when he was our manager. Those two in the dugout would please a lot of people.

14 Jun 2026 17:13:23
WhatsTheStory, Paul Sheerin ain't a Celtic man, my friend, he's a Jambo through and through 100%. 🤔

14 Jun 2026 17:18:36
DTB, Hearts don't want Paul Sheerin to go with Derek McInnes and will do everything to keep hold of him as they rate him and see him possibly as McInnes's replacement. 🤔

14 Jun 2026 18:04:00
Correct SWS, Hearts man.

14 Jun 2026 13:19:48
Just read Ipswich are planning to hijack Mcinnes.

14 Jun 2026 13:30:37
There's no chance Derek McInnes won't take the Rangers head coach/manager job even if true, Ipswich Town want him 👍🇬🇧 It's his absolute dream to be Rangers manager.

14 Jun 2026 13:30:41
Lol they can't. 🤣🤣

14 Jun 2026 13:35:38
Deals done.

14 Jun 2026 14:12:41
His absolute dream yet he knocked us back. Coops, please stop stating things as facts, bud, because unless you hear this from the man himself, you only know what you read online. The English Prem always has a lure of big money etc etc.

14 Jun 2026 14:18:52
I think they'll try and nab the Boro manager.

14 Jun 2026 14:30:02
Fully agree, chaps, only posting what I read.

14 Jun 2026 14:32:43
I saw that too but simply think it's made up because by most accounts it has already been done.

14 Jun 2026 14:59:52
Don't hawd back BbJ. 😂

14 Jun 2026 15:26:01
When the legend that is Sir Walter advised him to walk away, you can be sure there were reasons for it.

14 Jun 2026 15:29:12
Storm, tbf he has a point. SWS was adamant a few days ago that this was nonsense and Rohl was staying. Rumours are rumours but stating things as "fact" when they aren't is a little irritating. 😂

14 Jun 2026 16:32:43
I never hold back, Storm. 😂

14 Jun 2026 17:21:37
Read the story this morning, bigbluejim. McInnes and the so called knock back in 2017, my friend, False. 🤔 For the record, mate, whether you care to believe it or not the Rangers manager's job is Derek McInnes's dream job, and I will mention fact because quite simply it is. 👍🇬🇧

14 Jun 2026 11:42:01
Has anyone ITK heard that Gerrard was offered the job and said no as he wants the Burnley job instead?

14 Jun 2026 13:21:30
Mac, put that in the nonsense bin, as that never happened. Very happy it's Mciness. Let's see what he does with a superior squad.

14 Jun 2026 13:22:46
Some say he wasn't in the running, but no idea as very little has got out.

14 Jun 2026 13:25:23
Heard second hand from a mate. Didn't think there was anything in it tbh. Was just wondering if anyone else had heard anything along those lines.

14 Jun 2026 13:32:59
We're told that Derek McInnes was the no.1 target and no other person was spoken to when McInnes said he wanted the job. 👍 🇬🇧 Told it was Jim Gillespie who pushed massively for McInnes. 👍 🇬🇧

14 Jun 2026 13:38:49
Mac1872, I heard Gerard wasn't even in the shortlist of 4. Been so many rumours swirling around the past few days it's difficult to know what is true and what isn't.

14 Jun 2026 13:45:12
Gillespie and Thornton met 4 candidates, then Cavanagh progressed it on Thursday re preferred option.

14 Jun 2026 13:48:19
SWS, Heard very similar, mate, but so glad nothing is getting out now.

14 Jun 2026 14:07:23
Shouldn't even be given air time, a rumour like that, some sources need to have a day off.

14 Jun 2026 14:19:50
Hopefully that's the last we hear of Gerrard being linked to the job. He has done nothing since leaving us and probably doesn't have the passion for it and is happy to be doing media work.

14 Jun 2026 14:24:44
Rangers Review saying only McInnes was spoken to, but there was a list of 4 candidates.

14 Jun 2026 15:03:38
Gerrard was not interviewed, McInnes was prime target.

14 Jun 2026 17:24:58
Spot on My star, Jim Gillespie, I'm told, was very big on it, had to be Derek McInnes and got his way. 👍🇬🇧

14 Jun 2026 17:26:10
Only Derek McInnes was actually spoken to. 🤔🇬🇧

14 Jun 2026 11:26:09
In relation to my post last night it does look like Derek wants his own team with him and the transfers we were going after have dramatically changed.

14 Jun 2026 13:28:35
Ferguson will be top of his list, I reckon.

14 Jun 2026 13:29:20
I'm guessing those who were lined up as practically done deals will be ditched now.

14 Jun 2026 13:36:49
Yes Ryan, Derek McInnes wants to bring in his own backroom he had at Hearts, ie. Alan Archibald and Paul Sheerin, etc, although Hearts don't want to lose Sheerin and rate him as a very good coach who could be under consideration to replace McInnes as the new Hearts head coach. 🤔 Hearts do rate Paul Sheerin very highly. 🤔

14 Jun 2026 13:46:26
Told three scrapped already. All foreign, includes a goalie.

14 Jun 2026 14:14:35
John2575, are there any targets that are still being progressed or are all off the table for now? Any views on numbers/positions that have already signed but not yet announced e.g. pre-contracts?

14 Jun 2026 14:14:40
So all this about we don't want to alter our targets just because we change manager. Was complete and utter nonsense then. Great stuff!

14 Jun 2026 14:47:23
Hoth, drill couple in the pipeline, Graham being one, Cerny interest viable and at least one biggie.

14 Jun 2026 15:01:55
We better not end up with Craig Gordon or the Gunn fella as GK.

14 Jun 2026 15:05:36
John, I believe Luke Graham will be at Rangers. Personal terms were agreed, not sure what the hold up is though.

14 Jun 2026 15:32:34
Is it Gazza, John?

What I'd do to have a Gazza in our midfield.

Or maybe we've found £60 million and we can snatch the young Moroccan 6 from Arsenal's clutches.

14 Jun 2026 15:52:22
Baxter going off the hunch that Graham went for a late holiday after originally cancelling it to train with Scotland.

Boy is also pretty sick of all the rumours and discussion around his name.

14 Jun 2026 15:20:39
Is that the unnamed German GK scrapped along with the other done deals. Any chance those ITK could let us know who they didn't want to say before just out of curiosity?

14 Jun 2026 16:02:19
Bbj, I agree. We saw how well last season went when we let a manager pick his own players. Not sure we will ever learn as a club if this is true.

14 Jun 2026 16:20:52
I'm not convinced these deals were done in any way, and anything has been scrapped. A deal is not done till it's signed, and once it's signed, it takes 2 to scrap it.

14 Jun 2026 16:36:25
Angus, we were told the club were becoming more modern and signings made wouldn't matter as we would have a club DNA and managers signed to suit this. Now this isn't happening, and can we say that McInnes will see Naderi as a Muller type player and use him correctly.

Club just seems to go from one disaster to another, bud.

14 Jun 2026 16:43:13
If we've cancelled three transfers as a result of Rohl moving on and McInnes taking over, that is a terrible look on the club and its preparedness for the season ahead.

14 Jun 2026 16:38:59
I may be wrong so don't quote me but wasn't it EHL that said there was a few out of contract players signed, one being a keeper, and these players would be announced come the expiration of their contract at their current clubs come June 30th?

14 Jun 2026 17:20:12
Bbj, correct. Even if not signed, it seemed from what was said on here that they were agreed. But if we are pulling out of deals at last minute, then can any player we convince to sign for us in future trust the word of the club.



But then we also need to remember it is just a rumours page and nothing is getting out from the club. 😉

14 Jun 2026 17:26:15
I guess it all depends if you believe they were done. When were they scrapped? Last night, after McInnes agreed to terms and compensation was agreed? It would be silly to scrap them before hand in case Hearts played hard ball. I just can't believe that. Not accusing anyone of lying or misleading, but that's I don't find it believable. Just my opinion.

14 Jun 2026 17:30:48
That will be down to Derek McInnes storm and has to be his decisions and what he thinks is best. 🤔

14 Jun 2026 17:43:15
I'm not a McInnes fan, but I'd accept him more if I thought we, as a club, were sticking to our recruitment plans and he's fit into that process. I get a coach / manager will want input / oversight, etc., but surely to scrap planned recruitment so soon into the job does smack of the mistakes of last year with RM.

14 Jun 2026 18:00:12
I'm told at least 2 out of 3 may be going to Salsburg. Talking to same, who says he believes Naderii will go to Salzburg. Time will tell.

We just need to get back room team in, as previously indicated Smith was returning to 19s, one of his German assistants was leaving and Fry allegedly wanted back to England.

Imo, Bibbo will probably leave. All this allows new man to develop his team.



Does not matter which players we sign, as they will be written off soon.

I'll be interested to see if we still sign a couple of players at around 7 million each. We still have the Olosen money, so I hope so.

I'm excited as to what happens. Also, my information is Gerard was not on list, Parker Averladze plus two. Last week, my information did not mention McInness.

14 Jun 2026 09:58:30
All official now. McInnes signed on a 3 year deal ✍️

14 Jun 2026 11:03:18
Now watch the fixtures coming out soon, Shanks McInnes in 1st game away to Hearts lol.

14 Jun 2026 11:44:05
I said that as soon as we signed Shanks.

14 Jun 2026 12:45:56
Perfect timing being completed with window open tomorrow.

What's the chances of a couple of signings being announced tomorrow?

14 Jun 2026 13:22:48
Coisty, I heard we have already signed 2 players. We decided on Friday to wait to announce them once news of Rohl broke. Expect announcements now in the next few days.

14 Jun 2026 14:10:23
Seen on another post that transfer targets have changed and already scrapped 3 deals inc a GK, all foreign. Think it was John who said it.
Hoping he goes for Watt, McCrorie and Ferguson.
Won't be playing 4-2-2-2 either, so priorities may have changed and players looking to offload may now get a chance.

14 Jun 2026 14:49:27
Coisty, thank god we won't see 4222 again.

14 Jun 2026 13:09:13
Thank you fourlads, I was just going to ask that question.

14 Jun 2026 00:13:12
I have heard from a few fans that if McInnes does become the manager he is going to look to bring a few players with him and wants to bring Claudio Braga, Cammy Devlin, Craig Halkett, Alexandros Kyziridis. I think these players would be good squad players.

14 Jun 2026 01:08:20
Halkett is a bluenose but he's out long term.

14 Jun 2026 01:46:13
So after taking Shankland, and McInnes, Hearts will now allow Rangers to raid them for their best players? And Hearts won't overinflate the values of those players?

There will be riots on the streets of Edinburgh.

14 Jun 2026 01:55:29
Think Braga and Kyziridis would be more than squad players.

14 Jun 2026 02:22:31
I'd take one. Braga, that's it. But for us to sign him we'd need to sell a striker I think.

14 Jun 2026 02:48:22
Would welcome both Braga and Kyziridis.

14 Jun 2026 02:49:57
Halkett was injured near the end of the season, and was reported he was out for at least 9 months.

14 Jun 2026 03:24:37
RWC, if they overinflate the price, we simply don't buy, and if you look at the other teams Bloom is involved with, they sell players to league rivals without a second thought. Brighton and USG are prime examples. They're all about making money through player sales no matter who is buying.

They'll have numerous players who they'll be ready to bring in through their analytics. That's their strategy, buy cheap, develop/put in the shop window, then sell. They'll sell to the highest bidder even if it is a rival.

14 Jun 2026 05:56:29
Better players already at Ibrox looks like people putting 2&2 together and getting 5. Was always going to happen.

14 Jun 2026 07:20:16
I don't see him raiding Hearts at all. We'll have identified our targets, who I'd to think are better than what Hearts have.

14 Jun 2026 08:20:18
Doubt we go to anyone from Hearts.

It's just pure speculation due to McInnes coming. Maybe Devlin as a squad option on a free, but I doubt it.

14 Jun 2026 08:56:48
Why are we going to take 5-6 Hearts players who failed to beat the worst Celtic team I can remember to a league? Devlin isn't nearly the standard we need. Only other one who would be a possibility for me is Braga.

14 Jun 2026 09:06:30
And how many times would Devlin be sent off playing for us?

14 Jun 2026 09:40:45
Devlin in a 7 most wks what's not to like on a free.
Cheap squad addition.

14 Jun 2026 09:56:55
We already have too many sitting midfielders as it is. Barron, Chukwuani and Raskin all very similar. It's a no for Devlin for me.

14 Jun 2026 10:04:42
We don't need squad players, we need players who improve our starting 11, then if we can't get rid of our current starting 11, they become the squad players.

It's hard to believe that some fans think that all of a sudden the Hearts team are miles better than ours.

14 Jun 2026 10:49:14
The squads as a whole aren't better, but they definitely have a couple players I'd be looking at, like Braga and Milne.

14 Jun 2026 11:59:00
Devlin isn't any better than what we already have. Braga, Kyzaridis and James Wilson are the three I'd like to see.
If the owners think taking Hearts players and manager will bring us success, they are wrong. Hearts are a very well run club and probably have the best background set up in the country. They will move on and get stronger.

There were already rumours that McInnes didn't fully align with Jamestown's football model and weren't happy with some of his coaching decisions during games.
This appointment stinks of fan appeasement imo. Nevertheless we must get this one right and McInnes isn't the answer for me. Time will tell.

14 Jun 2026 12:38:52
Can maybe see Devlin added, but other than that Hearts won't sell JTA players to us.

14 Jun 2026 12:44:56
I really hope we aren't raiding Hearts.

14 Jun 2026 13:02:17
Do you think McInnes is aware of other targets from the analytics which may prove profitable purchases in the season to come?

14 Jun 2026 13:09:19
These kinds of comments fall on their bum right away when the person making them doesn't know enough to know that Halkett is out for months with a bad injury. Rangers have got the player from Hearts we wanted and just because we have taken Hearts manager doesn't mean that more will follow.

14 Jun 2026 11:31:50
we're doomed with these Americans most underwhelming appointment there is strap yer self in for pish football

14 Jun 2026 13:23:37
That's the spirit Dougie. 👍

14 Jun 2026 13:33:14
Their squad was better last season, and the table doesn't lie. Not saying I want their players though because I want us to be better than they were.

14 Jun 2026 13:40:33
Glad to see you're absolutely right behind our new head coach Dougieboy93. 👏😲

14 Jun 2026 13:43:38
Dougie, did you think Walter got his teams playing the "beautiful game"? Not at all, but he was very good at grinding out wins. That's what we need just now. I'm not at all excited to watch us next season, but if we're successful I'll not care one bit.

14 Jun 2026 14:16:31
Anyone think Lyle Cameron will get another chance under McInnes?

14 Jun 2026 14:21:25
I think that McInnes is the sensible option given the circumstances and like that we have been decisive.

imo Braga was one of the best performers in the league this year and would be an improvement to the squad rather than just being backup.



Good point made about having knowledge of Jamestown targets - there could be a couple that he fancies and that could influence our list. I'd imagine that Hearts already have their targets and so he would know the names at the very least.

14 Jun 2026 14:41:13
It would be interesting to see if there are any players that have been picked up. I don't think calibre of the club comes into question, more so the stats and suitability to the league for the analytics. The price isn't usually over the top in comparison to sell on, judging by Brighton.

14 Jun 2026 00:04:39
Florian plettenberg reporting the Fee for DR is between €1-2m.

14 Jun 2026 00:51:26
Wouldn't listen to that guy, I'm pretty sure he usually talks rubbish 🤣 Don't think the owners would allow it to be that low.

14 Jun 2026 01:03:33
I think that is the wages for Rohl, maybe just because it says plus bonuses.

14 Jun 2026 01:09:04
They also need to pay compensation for his staff.

14 Jun 2026 09:02:02
Rfc, am pretty sure he broke the Rohl story, if it's the same guy I'm thinking of who works for Sky Germany.

14 Jun 2026 12:34:05
He did, Souness, he's very good.

14 Jun 2026 13:42:07
Oh aye he talks rubbish Rfc, NOT 🤔

14 Jun 2026 14:24:56
No matter how good he is, that part will be guesswork. Only a few people will know that figure. Personally, I think it will be higher due to close relations to 49ners.

Plus, it won't just be DR compensation, it will be the rest of the backroom team. More likely £2-4m. Key thing, it is enough to cover what we need to pay Hearts and perhaps some change.
