So I broke news about Raskin bid coming in and the world cup situation with Rangers stance on the matter.
Met my friend last night, asked if I could share and he was happy to.
Raskin will be be away after world cup, we are just waiting to see what the best bid is.
Lewis Ferguson will be a Rangers player, wages is not an issue but we are waiting on Rasking leaving, Ferguson replacement at his current side.
Butland deal behind the scenes is stalling due to his wage but he badly wants back home, new baby ect
Rangers hope to bring in a minimum of 4 Scottish if they can, Rangers like Watt but Motherwell not looking for a player to be part of the deal, they don't rate Cameron as he didn't impress at Aberdeen.
Ferguson might not only be biggest signing of the summer 😉
A lot of ifs and buts but 100% my friend says the owners can't back Danny enough.
I am starting to like this transfer chat instead of bricks and seats 😂.

Seems good watp. Exciting times ahead, hopefully.

Always fun reading some of these rumours in the silly season.
One thing I will say, though, is no matter how often Ferguson's name is mentioned, he will not be at Ibrox next season.

WATP, good post mate - keep them coming.
Slim, what makes you think that?
30 May 2026 13:37:13
Slim, I think you're wrong, mate. I think he definitely will be here.
30 May 2026 13:39:25
Hopefully you're right, mate. Lewis would be a statement of intent, Watt would also be good, the highlights Motherwell put up of him on X, he was like Busquets. 😂 And finally, best for everyone if Butland moves on.

Why are you so sure Slim Jim?
30 May 2026 13:57:05
Ferguson and Watt would be an excellent midfield duo.
30 May 2026 14:07:24
I heard Aberdeen have 20% sell on.
30 May 2026 14:08:44
Raskin being away after the World Cup and us waiting to accept the best offer would be basic common sense and good practice. I'm no digging you it, but it's hardly breaking news. Most Bears I know have thought it would play out like this for the last 6 months or so.
In regards to Ferguson, I guess it depends on what options he has or offers.
I'd imagine he'll have better offers in better leagues; however, he might want to come home!
I would say, though, Ferguson's next deal is his last big earner, contract-wise, and I wouldn't be surprised if he put his family's financial security for the future over a return to Rangers. I'd love him at Ibrox, and hope we pull it off, but I can't see it.
30 May 2026 14:16:13
Slim, can you back up your post, mate?
I ain't one to take the time to put in silly rumours. As you can see from my short time on this page, almost everything so far has come true.
So I always find it interesting when people challenge those in the know.
To quote my post as silly season rumours, have a bit of respect for my previous posts. Thank you.

Iron, fair enough mate, I am aware through my friend and through Ferguson's connections in Larkhall that he wants back to Scotland. Wages isn't that big an issue.
30 May 2026 14:28:34
I'd be delighted, mate. I have said for a while, discussing it with many, I could only see him come back if he's homesick or his wife is wanting back. Let's hope so, mate. 👍🏻

WATP, you have picked me up wrong or I have worded it wrong.
I have no issue with your posts. The silly season is referring to the rumour posts that always happen at this time of year. The majority are just pure guesswork or what was heard in the petrol station from the neighbour's cat. As said, silly season.
I don't post "rumours" as it is not worth the grief at times.
However, I am very well known in football circles and people I still speak to back home keep me informed of the odd thing they hear. I am saying Ferguson will not be at Ibrox. Will be first to hold hands up if wrong, but I won't be. Nor will I be on to say I told the forum so.

We will not accept any bids for Raskin till after the World Cup, as if he does well for Belgium, his market price will increase massively.
30 May 2026 15:31:27
Trueblue, good chance they do have a decent sell on, not sure if it's as high as 20%, but fair play if it is.
30 May 2026 15:39:27
Waited after Hibs game to get signatures for my son. Raskin made a point of going round signing everyone's tops, etc. Didn't miss anyone out. Spoke to him about the World Cup and asked if he would still be here next season.
The look on his face, and the response of 'we will have to see after the summer and I will always love Rangers', made me think he's away.

@ Slim,
Not going to doubt what you hear and not doubting what others have posted on the Ferguson Rumour.
So I can ask.
Can you post any rumoured players you possibly have heard were trying to get in if Ferguson is a no go, in your opinion?
30 May 2026 16:30:20
Slim Jim, I don't think he did pick it up wrong. You referenced silly season alongside a post where you said his post is wrong. You also say posting rumours isn't worth the grief, probably right with posts like yours, mate.
30 May 2026 16:36:33
Broke the news is a bit of a stretch.
30 May 2026 16:47:59
I got carried away, Stromtrooper haha.
