Rangers Transfer Rumours

09 Mar 2026 15:31:32
Aphe, I read an article saying the owners wouldn't spend big this summer after laying out the money this season especially if they didn't see any return. Do yiu thinkbthsts likely? Imo we should look to sell Raskin and Dio and reinvest thst.

09 Mar 2026 16:21:11
Sell Raskin, Diomande, Chermiti, Gassama and Bajrami.

Surely, get a few quid for that lot.

09 Mar 2026 16:25:42
Onewalter, I wouldn't believe articles, my friend. They have rarely been correct in the past.

Remember, articles suggested the purchase of the club was off.

09 Mar 2026 17:12:39
Why in the world would we sell Raskin or Chermiti, AllyMc62? Raskin finally looks like a Rangers player and will hopefully extend. If not, then sell. Chermiti is going to be an absolute star. We are lucky to have him, and if we keep him, I can see him being the biggest sale in our history. Why would anyone be keen to sell him? Honestly, our fans absolutely baffle me.

We don't have many who we would get money for.

Bajrami showing a fake fight after the game was cringe. He's shown none of it since he arrived. Get rid. Gassama is too terrible. Diomande can improve, imo. Plenty of other fringe players we can offload, but doubt for much money.

We can definitely save ourselves £8m by not buying Olsen. Overvalued at that by about £9m.

I'd pay treble on my season ticket if we offered mega and got Moore permanently.

09 Mar 2026 17:21:28
Raskin, imo, almost certain to leave this season, and Diomande would sell also. Tav gone. I think Fernandez will be away for decent money also. And, yeah, move Chermiti on. Pretty much bang on, Ally. Aasgaard and Antman also. Matondo out if contract, thank god.

09 Mar 2026 17:26:51
Raskin hasn't kicked a ball all season, and is saving himself for the World Cup, whilst Chermiti will not get us the goals needed. I'd sell both if the money was right. I'd expect 10m for Raskin and 10/12m for Chermiti. We could buy 4 or 5 quality players for that money.

09 Mar 2026 17:37:12
Raskin already away in his head anyway.

09 Mar 2026 17:41:43
Yeah, I don't think I'd buy Skov Olsen either, not at that price.

I'd absolutely 1 million percent prefer Curtis on the right than Olsen.

09 Mar 2026 17:55:56
I'm sorry, Stevie, I know you don't rate Skog Olsen and that is fair, but I don't believe Curtis has shown enough to be a starter yet either.

Sko Olsen has more goal contributions in the premiership than Curtis in less than half the matches.



Now I do believe Curtis can be an outstanding player for Rangers, but let the boy develop rather than placing the irrational weight of the world on his shoulders.

09 Mar 2026 18:05:22
Skov Olsen is today's version of Mel Sterland. Mel's contribution was 99 games and 3 goals scored.

09 Mar 2026 18:16:37
Ted's 4 goal contributions in 8 matches blow that away, but feel free to not add anything meaningful to the discussion.

09 Mar 2026 18:41:00
Aph

I am allowed an opinion, and mine is (and I'm not alone) that, so far, Skov Olsen's contribution has been nowhere near value for money.

09 Mar 2026 18:47:27
Why don't you engage in an educated discussion with your opinion rather than a poor joke, with irrelevant stats, just to have a dig at a Rangers player.

09 Mar 2026 18:53:50
Aphe, I think he's a talented player. But he's not showing it or doing it for me.

The thing is, mate, we can't sign him based on what he did 4 or 5 years ago. We will decide by what he does currently, and for me there's no way he's worth £8m to us. Just no way in hell.

Talent yes. Showing it, no.

09 Mar 2026 19:00:34
We won't be signing him, Stevie. 99% on here can see that. 👍

09 Mar 2026 19:01:47
And you can add Aasgaard, Antman and Miovski to that list. Also, if we don't take up the option on Skov Olsen, that will be more money available.

09 Mar 2026 19:06:31
Stevie, I agree he is not at the level he should be showing, my friend.

I would, however, disagree entirely with your assessment.

We are not talking about someone who was good 4/5 years ago.
We are talking about someone who was in the form of his life just over 1 year ago, earning him a move to Wolfsburg.



Granted, this has not worked out, and his confidence is a mess, but I truly believe he is a risk worth taking.

09 Mar 2026 19:06:42
I wonder if other clubs have the same amount of fans who really don't have an idea about the club. They seem to think we should sack the manager, clear out players and start again! If Rohl hadn't taken over, where would we be? We were by far the better team yesterday; the stats prove that.

The failure was not scoring both in time, and missing penalties, players' fault, not managers!!

09 Mar 2026 19:51:38
As someone who watched a lot of Skov in Denmark and the start of his Belgian career, and really, really liked him, I thought he would definitely solve our right wing problem. I've got to put my hand up and say I was wrong. The player I'm seeing for Rangers looks nowhere near the player I saw, and, thinking about it more, he didn't really deliver in pressure moments for Denmark either, so I'm now questioning if he is one of the players that don't have the mentality to play for Rangers.

And as for the rest of the squad, not investing would be madness when you consider.
Meghoma's loan ends.
Djiga's loan ends.
Cornielious' loan ends.
Aarons' loan ends.
Skov's loan ends.
Moore's loan ends.
Tav's out of contract.
Matondo out of contract, finally get rid of high wage.

That's eight players lost from the squad.
And then we come to players that should or need to be sold.



Diomande does not offer enough over a season, sell.
Raskin, sell after WC, hopefully generate an inflated fee.
Aasgaard, if not trusted off the bench, even then needs sold.
Bajrami, decision should have already been made, sell.
Antman just appears to be not good enough and injured, sell.
Sterling great but never fit, sell, need someone reliably fit.
Gassama, bite hand off if we get a decent offer, sell.
Miovski clearly not fitting, sell or loan to sheep.
Bailey Rice out of contract.
Fernandez, big teams circling, big fee reinvest, would like to keep another season if we can get him regular games for Nigeria, fingers crossed.

That's another 10 who could go. For me, looking at 18 players total, I know it's not a realistic target, but that, for me, is the size of the job and why Danny should get a reprieve and start next season.

09 Mar 2026 19:54:33
Fair enough, Aphe. I know u want him and back him. I would only sign based on his loan performances here, not his past.

For me, Cerny is a far better player.

09 Mar 2026 20:04:02
Mel Sterland only played 9 league games for us, however, he got a league medal (and, frustratingly, my scarf, as they did their end-of-season lap of honour).
Skov Olsen has until the end of the season to prove his worth (or not).

09 Mar 2026 20:05:27
Mel Sterland played for Rangers. For me, 12 games, two goals, and he was a right back.

09 Mar 2026 20:06:24
Stevie, I am not comparing players.

Cerny got judged after 50+ games, and never wanted to sign permanently for Rangers.
He also started terribly in the same number of games Skov Olsen has had.

I remember people saying they would take him back to Wolfsburg, personally.

Skov Olsen has had 8 matches and played the equivalent minutes of 5.

09 Mar 2026 20:41:18
Aphelion, a small question, if you don't mind, pal. 🤔 Do you rate/think Andreas Skov Olsen is a better right winger than Vaclav Cerny? 🤔

09 Mar 2026 20:59:03
SWS, they are 2 totally different wingers who are better than each other in their preferred roles.

09 Mar 2026 21:03:41
Scales was on a booking fairly early on, and not once did Olsen commit him or run at him. Any good winger would have had that donkey on toast, even if he couldn't beat him. Where was the movement in behind him to make him defend and tackle.

09 Mar 2026 21:14:45
2 assists and 1 goal in 8 games. He's still got a few months before the decision will be made, but on the evidence so far, he won't be signed and we shouldn't even be thinking about that.

09 Mar 2026 21:30:53
If we were to have Olsen here next season, it would need to be another loan deal, with him getting a full pre-season, etc., then see what he can do. To splurge 9m on the guy would be completely irresponsible.

10 Mar 2026 07:12:33
My star, and let's be totally honest here, his 2 assts were more about Chermiti. 1 great leap for a header and an incredible overhead kick.

10 Mar 2026 08:38:04
There are some players in all sports who lose form and never ever get it back. 9 million is a huge outlay for us and can't be risked on someone currently showing nothing. I wanted him since we were first linked 3 or 4 years ago, but he's just not producing. Even in terms of his goal contributions up to now, we are including a cross that Chermiti scores a world class goal from, for instance, 99 times out of 100 that doesn't end up in a goal.

I've yet to see him beat a man. He has scored 1 goal, and, to be honest, I don't remember him having many attempts on goal either. Whether it was down to Rangers or Cerny himself, we didn't pay the 6 or 7 million for a guy who got us almost 20 goals and around 10 assists. Why would we then spend 9 on a player who hasn't done anything?

10 Mar 2026 08:55:07
He's not even hit any sort of form, and still got 1 goal and 2 assists. He'll prove his worth in the run-in. It takes time for some players to settle. It's a complete mentality change from being at a struggling club and not even playing.

10 Mar 2026 09:40:09
Aye, we didn't pay it. The player needs to want to be here for us to pay it, going by what was said on here. Same with Sima, who wanted ECL football.

10 Mar 2026 10:02:05
So, just to be clear then, the consensus here is that we rebuild yet again, sell more than half of the team, and basically write off this season and next? We sell off our best players and replace them with players who may or may not be as good, but will need time to settle in. Then we listen to 'fans' telling them they are no good and should be replaced within 12 months. Complete and utter madness.

06 Mar 2026 23:59:27
Liam Kelly close to agreeing a new one year deal.

07 Mar 2026 12:30:21
Very suitable back-up. 😁

07 Mar 2026 13:44:22
I'd still be bringing in a new gk, a younger profile, one of the best young up-and-coming from Europe, with the hope he can take over from Butland within 1-2 seasons.

07 Mar 2026 15:26:58
I know Pierce Charles, the Northern Irish goalkeeper, is currently injured with a shoulder injury, but depending on him getting over this injury and getting back fit again, I'd want us to sign him. 🙏 He's a very good young goalkeeper for me. 👌

07 Mar 2026 16:06:57
Walter thought Mason Munn or McGuire were very good, highly respected goalkeepers.

Charles has a continuing shoulder issue since youth.

07 Mar 2026 16:29:46
John, is McGuire not only 16/17? He'll need a few years on loan when he's 18-20 before he's ready to play for us.

Same with Munn, is he not 18/19? He has had a bad loan this season, so again he'll need 2 years playing first-team football before he can be considered for us.

07 Mar 2026 17:05:06
Motherwell. 😂
Will get gunned next week too.

07 Mar 2026 17:12:35
They may have shot their bolt.

07 Mar 2026 17:35:40
Gubbed, I mean.

07 Mar 2026 17:45:06
Motherwell losing today may just make Celtic confident - so don't discount a wee result for Well next Sat. 🙏

07 Mar 2026 18:20:05
Would love McGuire to make it at Rangers. Top talent.

07 Mar 2026 18:22:34
I really don't see it. They could have a wee run of defeats now.

07 Mar 2026 19:07:04
Absolutely, John. I'm not saying young Munn and McGuire are not good young goalkeepers, because, undoubtedly, both are highly rated. 👌 🇬🇧

07 Mar 2026 19:14:01
Stevie_G, the only problem with that is we're not the team we used to be. We don't have the same attractiveness or money to compete with big teams for these players.

I hope I'm wrong, but I'd definitely like us to do something along those lines.

07 Mar 2026 21:13:59
You're right in what u say about us not being able to attract the top talents, but that's precisely why I'm saying go and get someone young in profile.

Eastern Europe, Germany, Scandinavia, etc., all have top young goalkeepers. If we can identify the right one, around 21-23 yo, then in 1 or 2 years we'll have a ready-made replacement for Jack.

07 Mar 2026 23:05:35
The idea of bringing in a young keeper sounds good in theory, but we will just ruin whoever it is by keeping them on the bench. Maybe buy a young keeper but instantly loan them out for a couple of seasons to develop.

07 Mar 2026 23:54:51
Bleed blue, of course that's an option too, maybe, but it doesn't help if Butland gets injured in the first game after the window shuts and we're stuck with only Kelly for half a season.

I'd bring the guy in and give him X amount of games.

08 Mar 2026 10:09:20
Stevie, correct, but the Christmas guys on here wanted Jim instead of Butland.

08 Mar 2026 10:32:47
Cheers, Walter and Stevie.

Charles has played 18 games at first-team level in his career. He is seen as pretty average.
As a youth player at City, he had a shoulder issue.




At Wednesday, he has been out since August. He had an operation on a dodgy shoulder, and was returning in January for a game that was abandoned.

In training, he again injured a shoulder and required surgery on the opposite shoulder. He is not expected to return till at least April. We should stay well clear of a goalie with two dodgy shoulders. Not much use.

08 Mar 2026 10:34:23
Paul, I understand McGuire will be an Arsenal player soon enough. We won't see him in our first team.

08 Mar 2026 11:51:15
John, I'd need to agree with that assessment, and I think if Charles is as good as he's made out to be, then the only way we'd get him is due to the above. See Roofe as an example.

I'd read about 2 months ago we knocked back a bid of £1m+ from Arsenal for McGuire.
They must have come back higher, John?

08 Mar 2026 16:32:28
The package for McGuire is closer to two million, Stevie.

09 Mar 2026 09:18:45
Sellic's defence is like the Keystone Kops, but so is our attack. Wisny is funny, though.

09 Mar 2026 10:12:18
Why would any top talent keeper want to come to Rangers?

To sit on the bench all season.

Very good keepers are few and far between, we happen to have a very good goalie in Butland; yes, he has his flaws, but he isn't to blame for our lack of winning since he has been here.

In fact, he has won us many a game by making big saves.

09 Mar 2026 11:33:23
Better than Butland, we could never afford.

06 Mar 2026 16:26:35
Guys,
Still in Dom Republic, on a tour this am guy with SW shirt on was asking about Danny, l told him he had steady a very shaky ship.
What l hadn't heard was what he said next, he told me the players turned on DR l always thought it was the owner that he had the beef with.


Think l will miss game Sunday, at sea and wifi is dire. 🥵.

06 Mar 2026 16:51:01
He left due to the owner, but when he chose to return, the players were unhappy with him choosing to walk away from them, and took it as a slight.

The players made it clear they had no desire to continue working with someone who openly wanted out.

06 Mar 2026 17:58:01
Aph, so are things still the same? Or have the players changed their minds? Or has Danny Rohl changed his mind? I can't work out what either of yous are meaning, (Bunnet & yourself).

06 Mar 2026 18:20:56
Fraser, we are talking about the end of his tenure at Sheffield Wednesday.

06 Mar 2026 18:21:11
Rohl was getting grief from the owner of Sheffield Wednesday. The owner couldn't bump him and Rohl couldn't quit, but Rohl downed tools cause of the 💩.
The owner persuaded him to come back. He went, but the players spat the dummy and didn't want to work with him anymore because he walked away. Close to that, Fraser.

06 Mar 2026 18:23:24
Am completely lost here.

06 Mar 2026 18:31:17
Aph, thanks for the reply, buddy. Though the more I thought about it, I realised what the op (bunnet) was meaning. I didn't realise until I read it back that the shirt was a Shef Wed shirt. (I'm a silly billy) lol.

06 Mar 2026 18:51:36
Not sure about players turning their back. Heard Josh Windass speak about him. Couldn't have spoken more highly of him. He said he's going all the way to the top. Strange thing to say about someone you turned your back on.

06 Mar 2026 19:23:42
Mj, the situation at SW was really poor, and players were playing for no, or late, wages. Rohl had, latterly, a strained relationship with the owner, and originally left. The players, after going through all they did, collectively felt let down.

However, despite the messy departure, they still acknowledge what he helped them do on the pitch. So, possibly in hindsight they see the issues he had before he left, but remember the 'good times' he created.

06 Mar 2026 21:56:41
Although most of the players talk very highly of him.

07 Mar 2026 09:51:38
He lost the players and fans as he essentially decided he was leaving due to the situation with the club and owner. Some didn't like that attitude.

08 Mar 2026 07:48:36
I'm still trying to picture a Dominican local tour guide cutting about with a Scott Wright shirt on. How wrong was I, haha!

05 Mar 2026 18:10:08
Heard a couple names we've apparently watched both of Luzaren in Switzerland. Lucas Ferreira and bung meng freimann ( yes that is his actual name ) both seem to be preforming well and highly rated. Won't know if we will sign them but heard we watched them and apparently a few others in the same league. any one else heard these names?

05 Mar 2026 19:11:38
Definitely have scouts in mainland Europe, but unfortunately I have not heard any names from the Swiss League mentioned.

Thanks for your information, Sam.

05 Mar 2026 19:29:57
Is Ferreira on loan at Luzern? TFM says he's at Shaktar and is contracted to 2030. Would cost a Bob or two. Same with Freiman, he's contracted till 2029 and might be costly, bud. Cheers for the info. 👍👍

05 Mar 2026 21:36:58
Different player, Fork.

05 Mar 2026 22:06:57
Just seen that, Rabbi. Cheers, bud. 👍

05 Mar 2026 23:58:15
My Mrs is half Dutch, so I spend a bit of time out there. Anyway, long story short, her father's quite friendly with a guy who's connected to a few of the player agencies in Germany and across mainland Europe, and he gives me the heads-up now and then when he hears we've been sniffing about, so thought I'd pass the information on.

06 Mar 2026 09:28:03
Sam of Orange makes even more sense than it did before, good info, chief. Will need to give them players a watch!

06 Mar 2026 11:03:58
Cheers, Sam, just had a look at the team. Only Lucas is a young cm, mate, Lucas Silva.

06 Mar 2026 12:39:06
I see Celtic are being linked with Martel at Cologne, pretty sure he's a name that has been mentioned on here as a possible Rangers signing.

06 Mar 2026 12:41:00
Star, same player; he just uses different names. In short, Lucas Silva, but his full name is Lucas Manuel Silva Ferreira.

06 Mar 2026 13:00:51
Cheers, Angus, thought as much, mate.

06 Mar 2026 16:43:18
Yeah, he goes by a few names, My Star. I just shared the name I was given. I believe he has around 14/15 goal contributions this season. He plays anywhere across the centre of the park.

06 Mar 2026 16:57:03
Sam, cheers for sharing it, mate. Yes, I had a look this morning. Good goal contributions, and only 19 years old.

06 Mar 2026 18:38:49
Sam, good stats for a really young lad in a decent league. Would be one for the future and development if we were to buy.

09 Mar 2026 19:58:09
Lol, Wiki has his idol as Virgil van Dijk. That would go down well, eh!

04 Mar 2026 16:07:10
Following on from a discussion I had with John yesterday I can add a little more.

Due to the UEFA stance on multi-club ownership the 49rs investment arm is considering a reduction of position. This is defined as the partial divestment of shares to ensure there is absolutely no doubt about our compliance.

As such many allies and partners of our leader Andrew Cavanagh are now considering involvement.

I would like to stress that any move would not be detrimental to the financial strength of the football club.

It would only serve to strengthen it.

As with all new members of the "Family" all future investors are likely to be of a far higher financial standing than those on the previous administration.

I have always said the family model created by our leader and chairman is open.
New investors would bring a fresh approach and continue on the path of dynamic ambitious executive vision.

I believe in that vision.

04 Mar 2026 17:13:28
So the 49ers are "sleeping with the fishes", sorry, it's the family thing again. 😉👍

04 Mar 2026 17:21:12
Never apologise for humour, my friend. 🤣

04 Mar 2026 17:42:33
It's not really that good for us. The Scottish League is really weak compared to others in Europe, which lowers our standard points and future European involvement. Greek, Turkish, Austrian, Belgian, and Swiss leagues are far superior to ours. If Leeds qualify for either the Conference or Europa League, we wouldn't be allowed to participate, I think. The team which plays in the highest ranked league is allowed to qualify, whereas the other club, which is owned by the same investment company, would be prohibited from playing due to potential conflicts. That means if we qualify for the Champions League and Leeds qualify for the Europa League, we might not be allowed to play in either.

If we finished last in the group, we couldn't parachute down into the Europa League due to Leeds, which is owned by the same company, but they play in a higher ranked league, so if Leeds qualify for any European competition, we might not be allowed to play in any of them. It's all a bit of a mess. The 49ers certainly have more priorities with Leeds than us. They are more heavily invested in the EPL, but Andrew seems to like us better. Maybe he will buy out the 49ers percentage. I wouldn't be against that, and would prefer RFC to be owned by a few investors instead of a massive foreign corporation. Interesting times ahead.

04 Mar 2026 17:48:03
Whine, it may have escaped your notice, but Andrew Cavanagh has no connection whatsoever to Leeds United.

Andrew Cavanagh is completely separate from 49rs Enterprises.

49rs Enterprises are just a large single entity within the family of investors.

04 Mar 2026 17:55:38
Whine, the teams parachute-down rule was done away with two years ago.

04 Mar 2026 18:03:45
Since this Jedi guy did an interview a week or so ago admitting to owning Leeds and having a significant investment in us, UEFA have thought, 'Hang on a minute and explain,' and since that interview we've lost 2 board members who are also on the Leeds board, and now there is talk of the 49ers pulling out.

Or am I just putting 2 & 2 together and coming up with 5?

04 Mar 2026 18:09:06
Where's the humour, Aphelion. 🤔😂

04 Mar 2026 18:09:18
G4, the interview has played no part.
UEFA rules have been coming long before it.
49ers would not be pulling out, it would be seen as a strategic partial divestment, therefore they would still maintain some shareholding.

04 Mar 2026 18:14:00
Flb forks referencing the Godfather movies.

04 Mar 2026 18:32:39
You are correct, Aphelion. Andrew Cavanaugh is an independent investor who was put in charge of the consortium of various investors. Paraag Marathe was the 49ers' involvement with us, and he's gone now, which should mean no problem. I stand corrected, and I didn't actually look at anything closely before commenting previously. I'm off now to watch Aberdeen Celtic. Let's go, Cameron.

04 Mar 2026 18:39:37
Thanks for your response, Aph. I don't doubt your info on the matter, as you've been solid throughout the process. As I mentioned, I was putting 2+2 together and coming up with 5.

04 Mar 2026 18:41:29
Flb, mmm on the list with Kaiser. 👀😉👍😄

04 Mar 2026 18:51:41
Not at all, G4, I wouldn't say you were putting 2+2 together and reaching 5.
Unless you have been involved in this specific kind of situation, then all reports do sound like the eventuality that you were thinking.

A reduction of position is not a common thing to do, especially for a multi-billion-dollar corporation.

04 Mar 2026 18:52:47
I think Fork would prefer a username such as "the Don".

04 Mar 2026 19:08:43
"Don Curlywurly" could work. 😄 A Curlywurly is a caramel lattice covered in chocolate, Aphelion, rather nice. 😉👍

04 Mar 2026 19:10:41
Don't worry, Fork. I think Aphelion just destroyed me. 😟

04 Mar 2026 19:12:29
That does sound rather appealing, Fork, although I do love homemade Scottish Tablet when I am in Scotland.

I admire Scottish confectionery, my friend.

04 Mar 2026 19:14:20
Opposite of which was Red Bull declining an offer to increase their 10% holding at Leeds, and did u mention a possibility of them taking a minority holding in Rangers along with AC's "friends". 👍

04 Mar 2026 19:20:14
Don't think it's Scottish, bud. Next time you're over, try some fudge. The Fudge House in Edinburgh or Fudge Express in Glasgow both have various types n pricing for all palates. Lots of shops should have it, though.

04 Mar 2026 19:21:32
Aphs, my hitman Flb. 😉 😎 🤣

04 Mar 2026 19:30:05
Yes, Fork, it has been apparent that Red Bull appears to have an interest. Andrew is close with people within the executive structure and has been advised by that network.
One big telling sign was the appointment of Danny Rohl.



I will certainly try some fudge the next time I am in Glasgow, my friend.
I have a very sweet tooth, which infuriates my dentist. 😂

Although, with age, it takes a lot more effort to work off the extra calorie intake.

Tell me about it. 🤣👍

04 Mar 2026 19:55:12
The most important point on this thread that I need to make is that tablet is very much a Scottish thing, dating back to the 18th century. Delicious. 🙂

04 Mar 2026 19:55:52
Oi Fork, don't go bringing me into this debate. Has nothing to do with me. I know nothing about the finances. Raging. 😡

04 Mar 2026 20:00:17
Friends? Fork, you're more Chandler Bing than Don Corleone. 😜

04 Mar 2026 21:00:06
He's deid. 💀

04 Mar 2026 21:01:53
In saying that, he was funny in Friends, n the poor guy didn't have his troubles to seek. Shame really.

04 Mar 2026 21:22:11
Aphe, if the 49s do reduce their investment, do you have any concerns at all for the club? Was this not something that would have been known before the takeover, so was this always in the planning.

04 Mar 2026 21:26:21
Er. I did kinda mean the character. But you're right, he was funny so it was a rubbish comparison anyway. 😜

04 Mar 2026 21:28:34
One Walter, I have no concerns whatsoever. This was not known prior to the takeover because UEFA had not made their new policy at that point.

This is not a hostile takeover or breakdown of relations.

This is strategic thinking for the long term benefit of the club.

04 Mar 2026 21:58:33
Cheers, Aphelion.

04 Mar 2026 22:36:16
Irn Bru chew bar, Aph. From back in the day. The sugar in that must be off the scales.

05 Mar 2026 09:44:12
Surely it should have been more Chandler Bing than Bada Bing.

05 Mar 2026 10:06:02
Nice, Baz. 👍🤣 Unfortunately, Kaiser is on a list he's trying to get off, and he's doomed. 😉🤣👍

05 Mar 2026 11:50:03
Living rent free in your heid, mate. 😜

05 Mar 2026 12:20:19
I wouldn't worry about Leeds, they have more chance of playing in the Championship than qualifying for Europe.

05 Mar 2026 12:57:12
Probably. 👍🤣

05 Mar 2026 18:50:46
TF2, I agree, Leeds won't be troubling European football for a long time.

05 Mar 2026 23:54:10
Could we possibly get Warner Bros involved, as we seem to have turned the other mob into Looney Tunes. 😂

06 Mar 2026 22:49:16
Fork, Mrs Tilly's the best tasting fudge ever. I buy it a lot. I like to keep it in the fridge overnight, as it tastes more tablet-like after a night in the fridge. Give it a try, you too, Aph; neither of yous will be disappointed. I guarantee it, lol.

04 Mar 2026 12:20:50
Zan Vipotnik, a forward, of Swansea City is a name I've seen a us linked to in a couple of articles recently recently-
16 goals and 2 assists in English Championship

23 years old
Slovenian
22 caps
Value, according to Tranfermarkt - €15million

04 Mar 2026 12:35:14
He was available for free when Bordeaux went into administration in summer of 2024. I recall a good few posters saying he would have been a great addition at the time. His first season at Swansea was nothing special, but he has hit his stride now and will no doubt be moved on for a massive profit, come the summer.

04 Mar 2026 12:44:52
I posted his name on the site about 4 years ago. He would be a good replacement for Miovski.

04 Mar 2026 12:51:29
West Ham sniffing about too, apparently.

04 Mar 2026 12:53:55
Cheeky swap deal + some money heading their way, 2 birds, 1 stone, etc.

04 Mar 2026 14:47:17
Surely any striker valued at 15m would be a good swap for any of our players, lol.

04 Mar 2026 16:49:59
Wouldn't be a good swap for Chermiti, AllyMc. He's now worth a lot more than that, mate. 🤔

04 Mar 2026 18:02:13
Sir Walter, as someone said the other day, if we don't finish in top 2, I would find it hard for us to sell players for big money.

04 Mar 2026 20:40:49
We won't be buying anybody for £15million. Another click bait story that falls on its bum as soon as they quote a price.

03 Mar 2026 17:05:14
Read a report that Roberto Martinez is contemplating calling our Rangers striker youssef Chermiti up to the Portugal world cup squad from his current position in the Portugal under 21 squad 👌

03 Mar 2026 18:16:02
Sws, That would be great for him and us, mate.

03 Mar 2026 18:37:26
Adds to his value.

03 Mar 2026 18:59:16
What a turnaround for the boy, amazing. 👏 I was in the he's piss camp, get rid of him. But I am so happy I was wrong. 🙃

03 Mar 2026 18:59:41
Good news. Hopefully, it gives him extra incentive to push towards the squad.

03 Mar 2026 20:56:22
There is definitely a player there, and I've thought that from the start. You see goals like he's scored in the Old Firm and against Hearts, which shows he can finish, and he is good off the ball most of the time in terms of hold up play. I agree with most of the previous conversations on here that he does need to score more.

I think he can and will. Still young, adapting to a new country, a new league, and so on, but he has improved and long may it continue. Ready to play for Portugal? I'm not sure, but it would surely give him a confidence boost, and it's good his name is in the conversation.

03 Mar 2026 21:18:19
SWS, I would think it would be a call up for friendlies prior to the World Cup, to see about a possible call up for the actual WC squad. I could be wrong though.

03 Mar 2026 21:44:56
Can someone confirm we're not going to Fir Park in the split? Martin in the Rabble keeps spouting this pish that we are.

03 Mar 2026 22:11:42
Rangers have 2 home games and 3 away after the split. We are due to play away to Hearts and the East End. Home to Hibs and Motherwell. The final fixture will probably be Falkirk away for a 3rd time.
The issue that will arise is, post-split, Rangers, Hearts, Motherwell and Falkirk are all due to have 2 home and 3 away fixtures, with Hibs and the Timotheys having 3 home and 2 away games.


This means someone (Falkirk probably) will get an extra home fixture. For things to "even out", I'm guessing Falkirk will get a 3rd game away to Hearts and Celtic, have Motherwell and Hibs at home (which is what they should have), and a 3rd home game v Rangers.

03 Mar 2026 22:17:55
Thanks.

03 Mar 2026 22:21:18
I backed him from his first game.

I could clearly see he had great technique, good touch, and vision when passing diagonal balls.

I was slaughtered for backing him.

03 Mar 2026 23:05:57
You did that, Stevie, but this 'he can't play up top on his own' is nonsense as well. Supply him and he'll score. That is the problem with us using one cf; we never give him good enough service.

04 Mar 2026 00:11:13
It was said last week or the week before that Moore couldn't play cf. Moore has played 8 games as a centre forward; he scored 11 goals and 4 assists.
England U20.

04 Mar 2026 05:20:59
Gers 70, Rangers will be at home to Motherwell and Hibs after the split and away to Celtic, Hearts and Falkirk, mate. 👍

04 Mar 2026 08:28:41
He clearly can't play up top on his own. Never scores when he does. Been saying it since we signed him that he's the type of striker that needs someone up front with him. That's way forward and only chance we have of winning league in my opinion.

04 Mar 2026 09:21:10
You need to supply him on his own, Halfprice. He played four times in a front three for Portugal U21, 2 goals. Supply the ammunition and he'll score, as seen on Sunday with balls from Olsen. Our problem is supporting him in the box. Chermiti can't do it himself in the box alongside 4/5 defenders. This "he can't play alone" is just more nonsense.

04 Mar 2026 09:31:57
Perhaps with a fully fit Olsen and a better left winger, we can see the best of him on his own. Rommens will help improve that too, and then a new right back.

04 Mar 2026 09:49:15
Supply and support Chermiti and he'll bring goals, Stevie.

04 Mar 2026 11:33:06
Halfprice, according to your profile you can't have said it from the start as you have 0 posts and 1 reply.

04 Mar 2026 11:41:25
Another Enigma.

Scores against Celtic and Hearts, no show against everyone else.

The polar opposite to the like of the other Enigma, Dessers.

04 Mar 2026 12:25:10
Sorry, Geesa, guess I can't have been saying he needs a strike partner to get the best out of him. There's a player in there, but to me the proof is there that he doesn't do it on his own.

04 Mar 2026 12:59:54
That boomerang returned, Halfprice? Scores in 50% playing in a front three for Portugal u21. Supply him, he'll get goals. Loved big Dessers, Ally, but Chermiti is a step up in ability.

04 Mar 2026 13:10:44
If I'm being honest, I would rather have had Dessers this season. Dessers would have won us many of the games we dropped off. I like Chermiti, but he has only scored in 4 or 5 games this season. Brilliant when he's on it, but we need our number 9 to turn up against smaller teams as well.

04 Mar 2026 13:26:00
You need to supply him with teams sitting in. It could be Haaland, not any supply, no goals. And how do I have a tantrum if anyone disagrees with me? That's kinda childish chat. That is my opinion on things.

04 Mar 2026 13:26:09
Half price boomerang for sale. Only on the shelves (forum) for 24 hours. Buy quick before it's gone. :)

04 Mar 2026 13:29:10
Chermiti's first proper season in football, and even being considered for the Portugal squad should say something.

04 Mar 2026 14:16:00
Thanks Walter.

04 Mar 2026 14:51:07
Half Price. Dessers only scored two or 3 goals that actually won us games last season. Haha, the stats are there for everyone to see.

Dessers never scored the winning goal.

Chermiti and Dessers playing together might have been good, to be fair.

04 Mar 2026 15:55:41
Who said Moore couldn't play upfront on his own?

Also, you keep calling the Motherwell goalscorer a right winger, and he has played on the right 8 times, played on the left, and as a striker a lot more than that - a hell of a lot more. 👍

05 Mar 2026 01:52:16
Funny how some call out people for saying the striker can't play up front on his own, when he's the one that says two forwards don't work anymore, yet his best games have been with two up.

But hey, some people get shown favouritism, while other posts get rejected, even though they may be filled with facts, while theirs are filled with insults.

06 Mar 2026 07:39:33
Chermiti to the USA might not be such a far stretch. Apart from the fact that there's still a couple of months to go, so who knows what can happen between then and now, but also, Ronaldo is almost done, which leaves a gap in the forward spaces, if they see Chermiti as having future involvement, then integrating him into the squad at a major finals would make sense.
