Rangers Transfer Rumours

21 Feb 2026 09:16:09
Daily Record reporting we're entering into contract talks with Nico Raskin. Anyone aware of any truth in this? He's out most valuable asset so would be ideal to extend his contract and put a clause in so we can get some guaranteed dough for him after World Cup, assuming he plays and plays well.

21 Feb 2026 10:23:14
Yeah, man, barring injury, Nico won't be here next season.

21 Feb 2026 10:58:45
He will sign a new contract to make sure the club gets top dollar for him.

21 Feb 2026 11:09:36
He has never wanted to leave and has rejected multiple offers to do so, I can tell you that factually.

He loves it here.

21 Feb 2026 12:25:33
A season in the Champions League would add millions to the squad in general. I hope we keep the likes of Nico and Fernandez for that very reason. Even a good Europa League run would do me.

I think the draw we got this year just came a season too early. A similar draw next season, and I think Danny could get us to the later rounds.

21 Feb 2026 12:35:46
There is a buy-out clause in his current deal that we're looking to increase, while, obviously, making sure the player and agent are equally compensated.

In other words, it's not necessarily a step to commit his future to the club.

21 Feb 2026 12:55:33
If his current deal is until 2028, it's a wise thing to do, but not urgent. If he gets an increase in wages, and we get an increase in his buy-out clause, it's a win for all concerned.

21 Feb 2026 12:57:26
Great post, Yoke!

21 Feb 2026 13:16:11
Looking after our asset.

21 Feb 2026 14:21:49
Hopefully the performance level goes up.

21 Feb 2026 14:38:48
He's never said he doesn't want to leave, only that he will leave on his own terms, kinda like he did in Belgium.

People need to remember his time in Belgium and realise he is not a Rangers supporter like we are.

Maybe he has a soft spot for the club going forward, but not like us. Top team comes in, he's gone or working his ticket, simple as that.

21 Feb 2026 14:39:09
And as long as we get a decent fee, I'm ok with that.

21 Feb 2026 15:42:41
Ehl, how much is the buy-out clause?

21 Feb 2026 18:02:33
Slim S, I wrote six months ago that he has a 12 million euro buyout, which we are desperate to increase.
I was shot down, many saying not true.

21 Feb 2026 18:36:14
John, you did that.
We are protecting ourselves by not giving him another contract. If we win the league and qualify for the Champions League, I'm thinking he stays; if he is not sold for far more than 12 million euros, hopefully he has a great World Cup.

21 Feb 2026 18:39:07
That's an absolute pittance for a man of his ability and credentials, John.

If we're going to keep these buy-out clauses, they need to protect the club and not help the player more than us.

My price on Raskin would be £25m.



That doesn't mean we'll get that, but the whole point of a buy-out is to ensure the club are secure in case of an attractive offer.

Other clubs have hundreds of millions in players worth £80m, for example.

21 Feb 2026 18:52:07
You did, John. I can't remember anyone saying you were wrong; maybe a few saying it was mad the club did that, as I remember saying all the power was with Raskin and his club, as he had only 6 months or so left on his deal.

21 Feb 2026 19:03:41
Sorry, by giving him another contract.

21 Feb 2026 19:14:44
Cheers, John.
Never noticed your post back then. I would hope that can be increased.

21 Feb 2026 20:45:05
Slim, I haven't personally seen it. However, rumours tend to vary between £10-12m.

20 Feb 2026 18:56:55
Alright guys, posted before but got got absolutely slated and called a tim haha, so here goes.

I know a few people in the media here in Scotland and 1 down south, there is serious interest in Fernandez from down south and in France with lens apparently having had scouts over. Also Rommens apparently has told the management team he isn't happy here and wants out in the summer( no idea why) this comes from a guy I highly trust and have no reason to doubt his info.

20 Feb 2026 19:42:45
Why on earth would Rommens want to leave already?

20 Feb 2026 19:49:48
If that's Rommens playing while he is unhappy, can't wait to see him with a smile on his face.

20 Feb 2026 19:54:05
The Rommens part is complete nonsense, and I can 100% confirm that from someone very close to the squad. Fernandez, it is widely known, is being scouted by multiple European and English sides.

20 Feb 2026 19:54:23
Not going to slaughter you, but there is no way Rommens has said he wants out less than 6 weeks here.

20 Feb 2026 20:36:49
I'm led to believe Tuur left Westerlo for 3.6 million with his team due a 15% cut of his future sale. He was supposedly only making 3k a week in Belgium and is now on 8/9k a week at RFC, so jumping ship after less than 2 months, whilst getting 3x his old wages and living in elegant and expensive accommodation, paid for by the club, seems unlikely. If he isn't happy, slap 10 million on him and let him go in May.

No more room for sentiment for our squad. It's a business. Losing out on vast transfer fees, Morelos, Kent, etc. is a thing of the past. Especially now that qualifying for the Champions League will be almost impossible due to all other Scottish teams being embarrassing in Europe, all transfer offers will be considered.

20 Feb 2026 20:52:21
I can see why you were called a tim last time

20 Feb 2026 21:02:29
Yeah, I don't believe the Rommens part, sorry, man.

20 Feb 2026 21:04:27
Is John Terry his neighbour? 🤔 lol.

20 Feb 2026 21:52:08
At least defend yourself, if you don't you are 100% an east ender

20 Feb 2026 22:57:52
Storm. 😅😅

20 Feb 2026 23:06:24
Vanish "might" remove the stains.

21 Feb 2026 00:01:38
His reaction against Hearts seemed like he enjoyed being a Rangers player.

21 Feb 2026 02:47:41
TJBB56, some stains can't be removed from the brain. All about?

21 Feb 2026 07:55:57
What was your last post that made people call you a Tim? I'm curious to know if it ended up true lol.

21 Feb 2026 08:48:13
Has anyone ever noticed that every time this/these time wasting zero poster/s start a post, it's basically the same repetitive introduction, wording, and discussion? Why even bother?

Look, whoever you are, your post is a steaming pile of Gladys Knight. Have you not got some tennis balls to throw? Or eat?

21 Feb 2026 06:32:32
Your 0 0 score says you haven't posted before.

21 Feb 2026 10:50:13
What's wrong? You had a wee glance over our end and saw the Rohl train coming, with Big Rommens being the engine powering it!

So you thought, as a know-it-all, I'll jump on the Rangers page and talk absolute Jimmy White.

If it sounds like a tim and looks like a tim, then it's a tim.

21 Feb 2026 11:00:30
I smell Timothy.

21 Feb 2026 13:32:26
All that tells me is that it's a worried tim that thinks Rommens is an excellent player.

21 Feb 2026 14:40:37
Not happy. What a joke. Wouldn't have signed if he was not coming to Scotland, sorry, but sounds like nonsense to me.

21 Feb 2026 14:42:12
Zero Zero poster coming in with a whopper already. You can smell the desperate panic from the other side of the city.

20 Feb 2026 17:28:48
I've heard that two more players from Westerlo have been recommended to us. Arthur Piedfort and Nacho Ferri.

20 Feb 2026 19:26:39
If they're anything like Rommens, we'll take them.

20 Feb 2026 14:34:39
Rumour from X. Don't know if the guy is genuine.

Rangers are aware of the interest shown in Emmanuel Fernandez.

Chelsea, Arsenal and Bayern Munich are among the clubs rumoured to be keen on signing the defender.

Thus far, no approaches have been made for the 22-year-old.

He would cost north of £10m this summer.

20 Feb 2026 15:22:20
If the big man keeps scoring, then I'd be wanting at least what we got for Bassey.

20 Feb 2026 15:29:36
50 million more like.

20 Feb 2026 15:33:02
There seems to be a lot of genuine interest from Germany.

Would be an incredible bit of business.

20 Feb 2026 15:33:30
I'd like another season with him. I don't think he's anywhere near as good as he can develop into yet, so we can get far more value off of him after another year.

20 Feb 2026 15:56:54
Yeah 25 million north of 10 million.

20 Feb 2026 16:07:32
The Peterborough chairman did an interview with SSN, stating they had a substantial sell-on %. Whether that is tied only to the profit we make on any sale, or to the full fee itself, I believe will determine where we start the asking price.

20 Feb 2026 16:27:56
Well, the lad is 25 in summer, so that likely tells you how much truth is in it.

20 Feb 2026 16:29:18
£10m simply won't cut it. We paid £2.5 to £3m for him, and Peterborough have a hefty sell-on, so, for me, the bidding starts no lower than £15m if it's the teams mentioned.

20 Feb 2026 16:57:53
Watp, not old for a cb.

20 Feb 2026 17:24:16
Are sell-ons not always based on profit? If not, that's crazy, as in some scenarios the selling team could effectively make a loss.

20 Feb 2026 18:09:45
Not talking about his age, My Star. I'm talking about the quality and accuracy of the reporting.

20 Feb 2026 18:17:01
Defo more than 10m, as his old club have a hefty sell-on in the deal, apparently, so we will be looking for a big fee, and, to be fair, if the teams that are rumoured are true, we should have no problem getting 20million plus, like Bassey.

20 Feb 2026 19:23:24
Listen, the clubs who want him will affect the fee we can get right away.

I'd quote EUR20m plus 10% sell-on.

20 Feb 2026 19:55:52
Selling him for 10m is not an incredible bit of business. Aye, if we signed him for 50k. But we didn't. An incredible bit of business would be north of 20m. I'm not saying that's what he is worth, btw.

21 Feb 2026 06:13:09
I honestly reckon we'd accept a bid of something between £10million-£15million for big Manny Fernandez, with add-ons and a sell-on fee percentage. 🤔 I didn't hear anything about Chelsea, Arsenal, or even Bayern Munich being interested in him, but I heard both Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen were very interested in signing him, along with an unnamed English Premier League club.

🤔 I also have the feeling that it will be a German club who buys Fernandez from us. 🤔

21 Feb 2026 09:02:22
If true, the teams that are interested in Fernandez should start the bidding at £20m.

21 Feb 2026 11:11:26
I would want way more than 10 for him.
And also, I would keep him.
Especially for European football next season.
And possibly a title defence.

21 Feb 2026 12:12:15
Big issue is Fernandes has a sell on clause in his contract. His sell on for Peterborough is 20 % of profit.
Appeared we r talking re pay rise and remove fee.

Same re Raskin.

21 Feb 2026 14:44:44
John, as I said, big sell-on. People seem to have forgotten that he also qualifies as domestic-trained for English clubs, which pushes his valuation up, just like it would for us buying Scottish players.

20 Feb 2026 13:20:03
Also heard we are looking at a young Spanish defender who plays in Croatia. No name unfortunately.

20 Feb 2026 14:18:10
Raul Torriente, Spanish centre-back, plays for Zagreb according to Transfermarkt. Maybe him.

20 Feb 2026 14:30:50
Dominguez?

20 Feb 2026 15:17:11
Wishy, he is the only Spanish defender I can see registered to a side (Dinamo Zagreb) currently playing in the Croatian top flight.

Also, interesting to see Hugo Guillamon is now at Hajduk Split. He is more of a 6, who can also play in the back four if required.

He had a lot of hype when he was younger at Valencia. He is soon to turn 27, so he could perhaps be a slightly more experienced head to add to the squad?

20 Feb 2026 15:34:07
I remember Guillamon from FM, Legal.

20 Feb 2026 15:45:45
Dominguez was schooled in La Masia. A tip from Hansi Flick, possibly. 🤷

20 Feb 2026 16:33:15
Wishy, yes, good player. Three caps for Spain a few years back. Turning 27 suggests he's not the player alluded to by the Op.

I missed Sergi Dominguez from the Spanish players currently in Croatia. I don't know much about him, but the La Masia schooling means he's probably the link, as Angus appropriately alludes to.

20 Feb 2026 16:38:44
Sorry troops, never got a name.

20 Feb 2026 17:14:13
MPH, there are only a limited number of Spanish defenders playing in Croatia, so it is easier to have a guess at with the information you gave out. A couple of them look decent as well.
Throwing another element into it, Alaves seem to have some sort of loan agreement with NK Istra 1961.


It seems that Dani Olmo playing in Croatia for a while has made it (slightly?) a more popular destination for Spanish players.

21 Feb 2026 06:21:55
Sam of Orange, which Dominguez, Carlos or Sergi, of the 2 Spanish centre halves are we interested in, mate? 🤔

20 Feb 2026 13:14:03
Heard we are looking at Hungarian RB, Bolla who plays in Austria.

20 Feb 2026 13:33:10
Rapid Vienna. Mph, cheers, mate. Just had a quick look at him. I see Wolves signed him around five years ago. Not sure if he played for them; he seemed to have been loaned out a couple of seasons, then joined Vienna on a free.

20 Feb 2026 13:37:56
Must mean Tavs gone then.

20 Feb 2026 14:21:23
Don't touch him. His first name is "E". 😇

20 Feb 2026 15:19:18
You have one very diseased mind Firk. 🤣

20 Feb 2026 15:31:21
I am aware lol, Jfm. 😇

20 Feb 2026 20:46:39
Like any good rumour, it might be a load of old b*******.

19 Feb 2026 20:44:48
I know no one doubted me but as a new poster on this site you sometimes get judged a bit quickly.

As i said I don't know anything about transfers but buildings, land, maintenance and future development I tend to get straight away.

As you will see I said about the amount of tickets for the old firm game.

I look forward to keep bringing you posts in the future and what I have heard about Ibrox (development) very exciting times ahead.

19 Feb 2026 22:01:50
Worried about being judged? Stuff everyone. This is a site where nobody affects anything to do with real life. It's where I come when I'm on the wine. Hence the name. I work very hard. I don't play hard because I can't be arsed to write rubbish to wind people up.

If I see anything interesting or amusing, I'll read it, but you'll never see a comment from me talking down to or criticising anyone. Unless it's 10 million pounds chermissy. Rumours are rumours. I'm rumoured to be Cristiano Ronaldo, by the way.

19 Feb 2026 22:33:34
Mate, it's normally obvious who's genuine with how they wrote posts or the kind of tone.

Read between the lines if ye will.

I remember u posting n I thought genuine fan and poster.

Taken no notice of doubters, and u will gain respect by posting regular, mate.

19 Feb 2026 23:25:07
Let's get one thing clear. I am not a horse. Nah chance.

20 Feb 2026 00:15:13
Hahaha, I'd just take it as a compliment, mate. Haha, don't tell the wife lol.

20 Feb 2026 05:08:05
I'm not really Dado Prso. Although people will never see us in the same room. #thinkaboutit.

20 Feb 2026 07:48:41
Come on WATP, give us a wee bit more. Would love to hear about any ideas on future expansion etc. You know you want to. 😉

20 Feb 2026 08:20:21
I am Brian's. Drum roll, please, cousin.

20 Feb 2026 11:17:43
I am Spartacus. ⚔️

20 Feb 2026 11:28:35
Naw, u urny. 🙄 😉

20 Feb 2026 11:58:50
I am honest, guv. 🤥

20 Feb 2026 12:34:40
Lol. 👍🤣

20 Feb 2026 11:55:17
So, short term this year is small maintenance work, a fresh lick of paint, and an overview of the current structure.

As you can guess, they are reviewing capacity, and the initial talks are about how we can keep Ibrox traditional while bringing modern features and technology to the match day experience.

The thing I am excited about in the short term is that they are reviewing wasteland and how they can make a better fan day experience. None of this is confirmed; it is just a suggestion, a bit like the Nou Camp.

Where we have wasteland, like car parking space or advertising boards, could we build on this land for food, drinks, entertainment and bars?

All just at the suggestion stage, but I am excited at the level of investment these guys are preparing to invest.

20 Feb 2026 15:29:13
We should re-look at the hotel and casino.

20 Feb 2026 15:35:33
Great post, WATP. Surely filling in the corners would be a great start? There's got to be space for about another 5,000 fans in those corners. Easier said than done, I suppose.

20 Feb 2026 16:28:24
I'm the air we breathe out. 👍
WATP, anyone else reading that's in the know, 2 questions.


Will we complete the plan to put a cantilever on Broomloan in the short term, or has this been completely put to one side?
Where are we with lowering the pitch or filling in the corners to increase capacity? How far in the future would that be, if indeed even viable?

20 Feb 2026 16:41:11
Club deck on the Sandy Jardine Stand, cantilever on the Broomloan, and fill in the corners. Stadium would look dynamite.

20 Feb 2026 17:15:49
WATP, you might be able to answer, but does filling in the corners not normally cause issues with the pitch due to poor grass growth? I thought I read that years ago.

20 Feb 2026 18:52:15
Filling in the corners can cause an issue.

Light wind helps growth of grass roots; closing off the corners may impact the grass due to dehydration of the pitch.

The corners are also access for security, fire exits, and an access way for the emergency services.

I have heard we are reviewing the structure just now.

Then you can blueprint, ideally, where we can improve capacity.

I honestly think, in my experience, small areas will be first to increase capacity, not a full stand being developed, just in case people think we are building the next Camp Nou. Ha.

20 Feb 2026 21:51:23
Sorry, but it's always been the Nou Camp for me. Camp Nou sounds like something out of a Carry On film. 😉👍

19 Feb 2026 12:01:26
Cantwell return? Apparently Danny is Keen. Anybody heard anything?

19 Feb 2026 13:10:32.
Danny was apparently keen on Windass and we were assured he would be a Rangers player in January. Take no notice.

Cantwell wasn't good enough first time around, and he's certainly not good enough now. He's found his level down south. He can prance about with his hair ribbons in the Championship.

19 Feb 2026 13:21:18
I have seen the headline on Inside Football (I think), but I have also read that he has knocked back a £27k a week contract offer from Blackburn, so I'd be very surprised if we would top that for a former player who was very inconsistent.

19 Feb 2026 14:34:28
No way will the Sand Dancer be back, he had his chance and he blew it.

19 Feb 2026 14:59:38
Cantwell is not coming back.

19 Feb 2026 15:02:38
Tuur, the English Championship is a higher level than the SPFL, so your comment makes no sense whatsoever. 🤦🏼‍♂️

19 Feb 2026 15:30:27
Came from a niche betting site called Sportsboom, who aren't renowned for their scoops. Also Wrexham and Derby linked more seriously. But, as someone says in contract discussions, so will be rubbish.

19 Feb 2026 16:03:08
Todd Cantwell is talented, absolutely no doubt about that, but it's forward we should be looking at and not in the past, so the past is where this conversation belongs. 🤔

19 Feb 2026 16:17:08
G4, it's not a higher level.

It's more competitive and has more money.

That's why it's ranked higher than our league.

But it's not a higher level in terms of player quality.

19 Feb 2026 16:51:23
To be a great player as opposed to just average, attitude is a big part of that process. His attitude stinks, and I can't ever see it changing. So, onwards and upwards with fresh blood, and not cast-offs from a previous time.

19 Feb 2026 18:53:44
I wouldn't bring him back, but he had some good games for Rangers, and I still say he was better than Aasgaard has ever shown in a Rangers jersey.

19 Feb 2026 19:11:26
Cantwell, Windass! Deary me.

19 Feb 2026 19:38:06
Championship is worth 2billion. 😂 There is no question it is a better league.

19 Feb 2026 20:14:19
Sir Walter, were u not all for Windass coming back and assuring the forum it was a done deal?

19 Feb 2026 21:02:55
Rfc22, it is a better league, no one is saying it's not.

The quality of players in the Championship is not at a higher level.

19 Feb 2026 23:12:29
Yes, it is, mate. Just because some come to Rangers and it doesn't work doesn't mean the quality isn't better here.

I'm sure there will be a much more impressive list of players who have played in the Championship than those who have played in the SPFL in the last 10 years. I would say there is definitely a higher quality of player there.

20 Feb 2026 02:44:02
He's still contracted to Blackburn, and sorry, but we are not going to pay millions when he left very cheaply, making us a loss.

20 Feb 2026 08:29:04
No, it's not, Tav. The vast majority who have come to Scotland have failed, whereas the vast majority who can't make it at Rangers or Celtic go on to do well in the Championship.

20 Feb 2026 08:39:52
Championship has better quality of players than the SPFL. Jesus wept, it's not even close.

20 Feb 2026 06:54:31
Any league that is awash with billionaires' money will always be of a higher standard.
Would the EPL or any top 5 league be better than the SPFL if all the billionaires' cash was removed? Put the same kind of money into the SPFL and BINGO, we are a top 5 league, as the silly money will always attract the highest quality players.

Look at Chelsea, for example: tens of billions squandered on failed big-money transfers upon failed big-money transfers trying to win cups and success. Pathetic as are most of the EPL clubs, there was a time when football was about nurturing talent from youth to the first team within your own club, uncovering genuine talent and building cup-winning teams out of player talents and hard-working staff.

All the top 5 leagues are in the top 5 due to one thing and one thing only: endless cash from business investors that has overinflated those clubs and leagues' reputations miles beyond what they are truly capable of without the endless cash cow of billionaire investment. Would the worldwide demand be there to watch the EPL if it was full of clubs with money only generated by the club? NO, the TV rights money would dry up as well.

So the reality is the top 5 leagues, as we call them, are really the top 5 overinflated-with-billionaire-investors-cash leagues in the world and nothing more.

Take the money to any other 5 leagues and the players and TV rights will follow.
Much easier to dominate competitions as well in Europe etc. when you have endless cash to plunder into your squad, while home-grown talents rot in your reserves, and most of your competition has a tenth of your budget to work with and compete against you.

All leagues should now have equal finances and budgets each year; then the real talent will shine, instead of just going out and buying your cashed-up fancy-pants club another pile of trophies.

As long as football has the cash imbalances and certain leagues are filthy rich, of course the TV rights will flock there, and the best players will go to the same leagues and the clubs will extend their billionaire-funded hard-earned trophy haul, while other clubs have to try and do it the real way, and that makes it all the more sweeter when one of those cashed-up billionaire-funded clubs get skelped by a wee team who won the hard way without all the bloated overpaid and overvalued players and billionaire funding.

20 Feb 2026 09:08:18
Seeing a lot of 'Jesus wept' lately, careful u don't end up on the naughty step again. 😉🤣👍

20 Feb 2026 09:45:32
Football at this level is a business, so obviously billionaires are going to "invest" their money to get some level of return or at least enjoyment.

20 Feb 2026 10:16:29
Rangers and Celtic would struggle straight away in the Championship, be fighting for the play offs. Look at Kyogo: he scored for fun in our league and still never scored a goal in the Championship. Aye, not much better than our league. Quality in the Championship blows our league out the water.

20 Feb 2026 11:39:31
I think this summer we might sell Raskin, Aasgaard, Antman n Gassama if we get decent money. Would like to see money spent on centre halves, buy Skov Olsen, try n get Mikey Moore for another season. Other loan deals will be sent back to their parent clubs, so if we sell a few for decent cash and win the league, we have Champions League money on top of that as well and can rebuild that whole defence.

Dont think we need any more midfielders or strikers, just my opinion, folks. Think Danny will plunder the German market again for decent upcoming centre halves. Just wish he had got the job at the start of the season. 😁😁👍👍👍

20 Feb 2026 12:18:46
I hate that Championship argument, while it is probably correct what Mystar and others say about being compared team-wise.

Why do people fail to realise we would not have the same players if we were allowed into a league like the Championship? I think we would more than compete if allowed access to these leagues and the money on offer.

20 Feb 2026 12:33:02
So how come the players that come from the Championship can't shine in Scotland?

20 Feb 2026 17:39:31
We've regularly, other than this season, competed admirably, getting to the latter stages in the Europa League, which, in my opinion, is a much higher level than the English Championship.
There are no gimmes in the SPFL, a league where we need to win almost every match to have a chance at being champions.
How would the teams currently playing in the English Championship fare in the Europa League, competing at that level? And how would they cope with the demands that Rangers and Celtic have, trying to win the SPFL every season?
In my opinion, playing for Rangers requires players to compete at a higher level than the players competing in the English Championship, especially when you take into account European football and the demands associated with playing for our club domestically.


Happy to respect alternative opinions on this, but those are my feelings.

CO2, it's the one-off nature of Europe. A league is totally different, the motivation is harder.

20 Feb 2026 19:25:28
Forever, it's not just one-off though when you take into account Champions League qualifiers, the League phase at Champions League or Europa League level, and, if being good enough, the knock-out phase after the League phase.
Then you have Celtic, four minimum a season, but sometimes six.


Hearts and Motherwell, four minimum each this season.
Hibs and Aberdeen are never easy, especially away.
All the other matches are must-wins as well as the above fixtures.
That's why I'd argue playing for Rangers requires a higher-quality player than playing for any English Championship team.

Lassana Coulibaly

18 Feb 2026 19:11:46
Really can't see this being true. And, hope not.

18 Feb 2026 19:11:46
Again?

18 Feb 2026 19:32:13
Lasagna Coolywonty. No chance. Danny wants to build something at Ibrox, and I don't believe that any previous player would be considered at the moment. This is a German trait; they like things a certain way, and I don't believe that he would be talked into signing underperforming players. He gets the best out of what he has, but why should he try harder for previous players? I think that with Danny at the helm, we are going to do very well in the coming seasons.

All we need is a proper striker to team up with Ryan, a couple of better centre backs to go with Fernandez, a right back, and we will be in good shape. 6 of our defenders are OOC come May. It's a bit concerning.

A proper striker, Whineonthewine?

What like a 10m striker. 😜

Whine likes to mess with names.
Here's my contribution.

Tbf, Fork, I saw an article on it this morning, mate. Dismissed as clickbait, as I really can't see it myself, but OP is definitely not making it up.

18 Feb 2026 21:12:42
No thanks, another utter regrettable poor loan. I had actually completely forgotten about him until I looked up his name. We've moved on, thank goodness.

18 Feb 2026 21:25:06
The world is too serious and whiney nowadays. Think back to the mid nineties. Words we all used, things we said, things we did and pish we took. The films were great, music was tekno and 2 quid got us white light lightning. Rangers were unbeatable and times were good. Now everyone is easily offended and criticism is taken personally, when this is a rumours/banter site on which an editor spends time on and is punished reading all of our rubbish so nobody gets their feelings hurt.

Enjoy what we have and what we can do. And yes, I'm a trout master badge winning, anagram specialist with a doctorate on how to annoy people. Also, our superstar 10 million pounds superstar only has 7 goals in 29 games. Would advocaat keep him??? Stop being so serious.

18 Feb 2026 21:31:29
it's a German trait to not sign players that have been at the club previously?

18 Feb 2026 23:06:26
Whine, now that's a good post. 😁

90s, we were king. Shove yer 80s up yer arse. 😅

Be better re-signing Mateusz Zukowski, the lad we barely played, then released. He moved to Magdeburg in the German 2nd Division a few months ago, and the manager there moved him from RB to CF (one of his secondary positions when he joined us).

He's a proper striker now.
18-minute hat trick in a recent league game.
10 league games played, 9 goals scored and 1 assist.


We released him for free. Magdeburg picked him up from the team we released him to for a massive 250k, and now he is scoring for fun. Bargain. They will make a packet on him the way he is playing now as an attacker.
He scores 1 goal on average every 97 minutes since his new manager realised his potential as a striker and moved him to that position.

19 Feb 2026 02:39:51
Ocean Colour Scene, lol.
They had one half-decent song - 100 Mile High City.

I preferred The Verve, The Stone Roses, and The Charlatans to Beatles-wannabe Oasis. Their 1st album was decent though.

Lasagna Cou' Le' Ballay is delicious, apparently.
French-Italian fusion dish.

Yes, Mateusz Zukowski is in excellent form as of early 2026, having transformed from a struggling right-back into a high-performing striker for 1. FC Magdeburg in the 2. Bundesliga. He has recorded 9 goals in his recent matches, including a 17-minute hat-trick in a 5-4 win against Greuther Furth in February 2026.

Background:
Rangers FC: Signed as a right-back in 2022, he failed to make a league appearance and was released in 2023.
Return to Poland: He spent time with Lech Poznan and Slask Wroclaw with mixed success before moving to Germany.

Just watched his highlights on a German highlights site. He is some player now since moving to the striker position. Cracking shot, excellent pace, strong on the ball, legs like tree trunks, and knows where the back of the net is. A bit of a poacher too, he seems to be in the right place at the right time in the box.

This rumour is up there with the Josh Windass rumour.

Ocs have lots of good songs. Going to see them in Nov in Aberdeen. One of the best bands I have seen live.

19 Feb 2026 14:24:21
Paul, some great tracks, mate.

19 Feb 2026 16:07:17
Ocs have had many great songs and are superb live. Seen them at least 6, though Oasis are the band of the 90s, none come close, and they are even better live.

19 Feb 2026 16:19:20
Loved both The Stone Roses.
And The Verve.

And Ocs were always decent too.
Laudruphagi.

All excellent bands.
