Any news of deals? Names? Positions? I get the window isn't open, but feels like everyone is announcing people apart from us 🤣 maybe i'm Just impatient 😅
06 Jun 2026 09:39:55
Working on Akpe Victory.
06 Jun 2026 09:44:45
Window opens on 15th, and not back in for preseason till 19th. Still plenty of time.
Some o/o/c players' contracts won't finish till the end of June or July in some cases.
06 Jun 2026 09:47:08
I think we're just a bit impatient just now. I'm sure a ton of work is going on in the background.
Just hope we get recruitment better than last season.
What I will say, though, is we're back for pre season soon enough. It would be nice to have players in to get up to speed asap.
06 Jun 2026 09:52:40
Made some inquiries on Dan Neil during the week, told he's on holiday and won't return until Tue/Wed next week.
06 Jun 2026 09:53:05
Did same thing not happen in January window? I was concerned myself at the time, then we had a flurry of activity.
06 Jun 2026 10:07:23
My star
I think DN will be coming. Likely, as you say, just getting that holiday out of the way, then the announcement, and gives him time to sort out personal stuff before training starts back on the 19th.
06 Jun 2026 10:09:43
Copeland, I seen we had a bit rejected? Any idea if this is true? Fingers crossed he is another Fernandez. 😆 Yeah, Coisty, I know, always the worst part waiting on everything falling into place. Definitely Alex, everyone just wanting to see the improvements, the sooner the new season starts the better, hopefully more luck and more trophies this season! Thanks my star, hope we get Dan Neil over the line, looks decent! Yeah, think you are right Forever.
Here's hoping it's good business! Thank you everyone.
06 Jun 2026 10:15:51
I was playing 7s with a few ex players and some of the coaching team during the week.
General consensus is that a lot of work has been done and it's just about giving the players time to enjoy the off season before we start to make announcements.
There's also a good deal of work getting done at the training centre - which is much needed.
06 Jun 2026 10:32:12
@ Copeland, Basel pushing to sign Akpe Victory according to a lot of journalists and media outlets.
06 Jun 2026 10:43:03
Sharing what I know, being in and around the club, but more so around some of our players' sports management teams.
I think I have shared all this previously.
We have deals done, but I have not heard a whisper as to who those deals are with. I would suggest even our guys ITK have not heard those names either. Those players will be in the door come the first day of pre season.
I can talk to the talks we have held with Graham, Watt, Longelo, Braga, Nathan Patterson, Olly Burke.
Been told Mikey Moore will not be coming back, the club want a more experienced player to compete with Finlay Curtis.
Ashton Scally and Zebedee Lawson will be full members of the squad this year.
The club have pushed the boat out both financially and a competitive game time plan to Finlay Curtis.
Pretty confident he will sign that deal as he loves the club as does his family, although I have heard there have been a few enquiries as to his availability. His team are good, so they will use that to get the best deal for him.
Bailey Rice has an offer on the table, and looks likely he will go out on loan within the SPL from what I was told.
Antman, Bajrami, Butland, Raskin, Nsiala, Macausland, Dio, Danilo; some have deals lined up, others have their management teams busy looking for new clubs for them.
Barring Danilo, the club will only sell those players at their asking price. We will get top dollar for every one of those players, have no doubt.
Fernandez is close to signing an improved deal.
Chermiti has the most interest, I feel he will go, but for big money £20mil plus maybe more.
06 Jun 2026 10:49:47
As I've posted a few times.
Heard Dan Neil will happen.
Still think we will get Skoglund and Victory.
And the Swedish boy Casper Widell.
Along with interest in Amar Fatah.
Luke Graham, Elijah Just, Tyrese Campbell, Deniss Melniks.
Cozier Duberry loan option possibly.
James Penrice doesn't go away.
And also Oskar Fallenious.
06 Jun 2026 10:56:19
I think the talk is Fernandez could well be away. Bundesliga interest, and talk of his agent having an agreement with a side over there on personal terms.
I'd expect Mikey Moore to be back also.
Penrice will sign.
06 Jun 2026 11:04:33
Chermiti has reported interest from Galatasary. I put the post up in sightings. However, all talk of Turkish clubs being interested is usually like a fart in the wind.
06 Jun 2026 11:17:19
AR32
Good post, mate.
That now makes me think the rumours around a few strikers were linked with will have merit then.
If Chermiti goes we have to replace him with another big striker.
Striker names I've seen were linked with.
Tyrese Campbell
Finn Geragusyan
Lorent Toraj
Joe Piroe
Cameron Archer
Braga.
06 Jun 2026 11:58:45
If we let Chermiti go we are making a huge mistake. 1st season of full time football with 20 goal contributions. He will only get better and better. If we sell him for 20million the club we sell him to will ask 60 and get it the next year.
Barring injuries, he is destined to be a great striker. I can see him in Spain, Germany, or even England in 3 to 4 years for crazy money. We under value our players all the time.
06 Jun 2026 12:06:56
Making a profit on Chermiti would be wise.
06 Jun 2026 12:11:49
I have heard rumours that we might have missed out on Akpe Victory, and he is heading to Basel for talks, but these are just rumours, so might not be true.
06 Jun 2026 12:17:59
Burghger, Be a very wise move keeping Chermiti, unless the Scottish transfer record gets blown apart.
06 Jun 2026 12:23:19
Based on nothing but assumption from myself, so therefore opinion, not even rumour and definitely not fact, potentially fantasy (wee nod to MPH). If Chermiti goes, I could see us go for Joel Piroe, but I have a feeling Chermiti will still be here come the end of the window.
The Piroe thing is purely based on previous links and what Marathe said recently.
I'm sure I read somewhere as well that Chermiti has no interest in playing in Turkey, but could have been nonsense.
06 Jun 2026 12:25:04
Stig, as for Skoglund, I see the Hammarby director has come out and said there's been no contact from Rangers.
06 Jun 2026 12:27:03
Read something earlier from Hammarby SD saying there's been no contact for Skoglund from Rangers.
06 Jun 2026 12:29:55
I would be surprised if we sell Fernandez this season. We barely have any defenders as it is.
06 Jun 2026 12:47:22
Olly Burke, jeezo.
06 Jun 2026 12:48:00
Brad, there's a ceiling price in the Scottish league. A mansion in a council estate is nt that desirable. 20mil and a sell on is very good business for him.
06 Jun 2026 13:39:34
I don't think we'll see £30 mil broken in Scottish football for a long time.
06 Jun 2026 13:49:55
Rangers56, I have to disagree. The other lot get better value for their money, and I do not think their players are any better. We must put higher values on our players than maybe haggle down a wee bit. If the first club bids 20, what will clubs bid later? Making the quick buck isn't the way to go.
We complain we don't win titles yet we're talking about selling our best players after one season. The value on Scotland football is only that low because the clubs accept it. I'm not saying demand 50 plus million for players, but being happy with the first bid is why we don't get more.
06 Jun 2026 13:55:16
Good posts guys,
Rangers56, you make a good point there. It is likely that there is a ceiling for Scottish football that clubs will pay, as it is the Scottish game, which has a very poor reputation. imo £20-25m is the ceiling at the moment. Also, we want to take profit when we can.
We have a history of not taking the money and then players go for free or lower value.
I'd like to see us sign Braga. He and Shankland already have a good understanding, and I have to say I thought he was Hearts' best player this season.
06 Jun 2026 14:09:41
Rangers56, completely agree with there being a ceiling price on Scottish based players, however, £25mill of O' Riley and the rumoured £25mill for Engels should be the ceiling. Not £20mill.
I wouldn't be overly keen to sell Chermiti for less than the £25m, even with a 20-30% sell on.
Might be wishful thinking, but in terms of a future & natural talent, he's head and shoulders and we should be digging our heels in more than we have in the past.
06 Jun 2026 14:10:30
Very interesting, the players you name we've had talks with AR. 🤔 I'll start with Longelo, the Motherwell left back mate, as I was also told by a Motherwell youth coach that Rangers are interested in him and if we did sign him that would surely rule out signing James Penrice, and I definitely want us to sign Penrice. 🙏 Always have done. Regarding Olly Burke, I just can't see for the life of me that we've been talking to him and trying to sign him mate. 😲 I also don't think we're trying to sign Braga from Hearts as talking to any of these players who are under contract is a breach of tapping up a player who is under contract with another club. 🤔 I hope we can sign Motherwell midfielder Elliott Watt and have also heard we're most definitely interested and for me he'd be a very good no.6 for us, which we all know we're crying out for.
🙏 Regarding Nathan Patterson, again doubt we'd be trying to sign him because of his horrendous injury issues and would think there's more legs in us after Ross McCrorie as right back. 🤔 I honestly don't know if it's possible that we can get Mikey Moore back on another season long loan deal and that will be decided I would think close to the transfer window closing, but we definitely do know that Danny Rohl definitely wants him back for another season. 🤔 So what's your thoughts overall to my post in response to yours AR. 🤔 I'm not for one second doubting you've heard/been told these things mate, but it's just my opinion with some I just can't see happening TBH mate, not having a go whatsoever here mate. 🤔
06 Jun 2026 14:11:10
The club is in no rush to sell Chermiti so a huge offer would be needed. Think he will still be here as the bigger clubs that could make those big offers will wait to see if he keeps improving and shows more consistency into next season.
Saw Deniss Melniks signed for Falkirk.
06 Jun 2026 14:39:39
Braga for me would be a right good signing. He could be the hybrid forward? Shankland, Braga, Naderi and Chermiti would give you a lot of versatility, goals and potential.
06 Jun 2026 16:16:02
What's getting done at the training ground Ehl?
06 Jun 2026 18:39:45
He's not heard from "any clubs" including us.
06 Jun 2026 18:40:56
Just passing on what I have heard, Walter, I've heard a lot more, but what I've laid out previously is the talks I know of personally.
For instance, I've been told we have been talking to Lewis Fergusons' management team, but I haven't heard of any talks from his management team directly!
I was also told directly that we had signed Kenny Maclean, but he ended up signing an extension.
The club do a very good job of keeping the finer details of all this stuff in house.
I can say with certainty, we are talking to Longelo, Patterson, Burke, Braga, Graham, Watt etc.
But they will be one of 3/4 players in each position we are talking to, so u may also be right in the players u have heard and mentioned on here.
We would both be right then, if that makes sense.
Sure John or one of our ITK posters can clarify all that for u better than I can.
06 Jun 2026 19:10:56
My info not talking to more than Han these players.
06 Jun 2026 19:32:33
Also, do people still forget that you don't need to wait for a contract to expire to sign a player. Last 6month of deal, they are free to sign for whoever they wish.
06 Jun 2026 20:35:41
Sorry, John, not talking to more than what, mate. 🤔
06 Jun 2026 20:57:04
If we sell Chermiti Fernandez and Raskin, I imagine that's close to 50-60 million. I don't want to lose any of the players, but that's some cash we can use towards getting in the 10-12 players needed.
06 Jun 2026 22:37:59
Agree with most, Amo, but it's not happening, we're not getting more than 20 at best. Longer we go, the more we lose.
Just a wee thought experiment though, what do you think Curtis is worth? International, scoring goals, fantastic season in the Scottish Premiership?
Same as Chermiti has potential, but what would you pay for it?
07 Jun 2026 06:44:47
If we are trying to sign Motherwell left back Longelo, that would rule us out of signing James Penrice for me. ☹️ Like I previously said, I was told we are interested in Longelo who has looked good against us, but I'd prefer us to sign James Penrice to compete with Rommens as our left back. 🤔🇬🇧
07 Jun 2026 09:14:46
Rangers56, Chermiti will have some career playing for the best clubs out there. His ability is unreal. Not a chance does he get sold for under 20m. That would be a truly massive mistake selling him for under that fee. Unbelievable talent.
