Rangers Transfer Rumours

28 Mar 2026 18:15:33
Afternoon troops,

I hope you are all doing well. I have heard through a couple of good friends that Red Bull are going to be heavily involved with us in the near future. If true I am very excited about what lies ahead for Rangers. 🫡

28 Mar 2026 13:23:01
Afternoon All, hope everyone is well.

Limited detail but I understand there's at least one significant commercial deal in advanced stages.

Cavenagh got a shock at the start of the season hence his more hands on role. Fans contribution is highly acknowledged and valued. Except those who cannot behave, and who will be dealt with.

I know it's a divisive point and most of us just want a team winning and playing well, but the Chairman and those around him will get things right in my opinion.

Also, the technical director is wanted long term. I can't comment on that as not close to it, but my opinion is that he's done a great job on a consultancy basis.

Take care one and all.

28 Mar 2026 14:07:33
Can you say Ibrox4Me, if the commercial deal that's at a very advanced stage is to do with the sponsorship of the stadium, front shirt sponsors or kit manufacturers etc, mate? 🤔 Absolutely no reason to doubt your info, mate, as it's always spot on, and thanks for sharing it with us all on here. 👍 Very much appreciated. 👍 🇬🇧

28 Mar 2026 16:00:49
From the bits I've heard, it's about commercial partnership to expose us to worldwide markets, to reflect our fan base. Not heard anything about stadium naming and the front of shirt deals, I think (?), have a way to go yet.

28 Mar 2026 16:03:41
Walter, why would shirt deal or manufacture be close if they run to 2029 and 2030?

28 Mar 2026 16:04:55
Good to hear u, Ibrox4Me. Things r progressing very well for the Rangers.

28 Mar 2026 16:43:46
Thanks, John. Great to read your posts. Lots of great info from you and Aphe. Also appreciated the other poster who passed in info about the stadium infrastructure. Things are moving positively, although a league title would undoubtedly boost our progress.

28 Mar 2026 17:28:33
It's WATP that provides it, bud. 👍

28 Mar 2026 17:39:47
Ibrox4Me and John2575, thanks for all your positivity, it's just great to see, with a lot of the doubters' negativity on this site.

Yourselves, Aphe, Angus, Fork and so many others to name, make this site what it is - the best fans forum - thanks, guys.

28 Mar 2026 17:50:58
Jim 217, the club is in excellent hands mate.

28 Mar 2026 17:56:53
Great post and information, Ibrox4Me, very nice to see you posting, my friend.

We are in great hands and the "family" is on this for the long haul.

28 Mar 2026 18:43:00
Why Jim, thanks very much, bud 👍 as does your gd self. 👍

26 Mar 2026 16:19:50
Cx Zurich striker Phillipe Keny. Big strong powerful looking lad. 12 goals this season. Linked with us today.

26 Mar 2026 18:20:06
Looks good, but a bit like Chermiti plays all his football outside the box.

26 Mar 2026 18:51:36
Spends a bit of time in the box if he's scored 10 goals from 18 games.

26 Mar 2026 21:47:49
First really good season at 26.

26 Mar 2026 23:27:12
? Loved Igammane, hate Chermiti, make it make sense.



Love Mikey Moore, hate Chermiti, make it make sense.



Moore's stats are quite poor if you look at them, especially considering he's at least 2, if not 3, times more expensive than Chermiti. Imagine we paid 18 to 20m for him, wonder what your opinion would be then.

I can tell you, not good enough, sell sell sell. Moore's been fine; if you could sell him in that scenario for 30m, you've done your job.

Same here, imagine expecting your youth striker to be the main man, Igammane would have done less than him in this team.

26 Mar 2026 23:43:56
I had posted about us watching players in this week a few weeks ago, so it could be a possibility.

27 Mar 2026 00:08:13
I know not a thing about him lads, so just posting what I read online.

27 Mar 2026 08:18:38
It's not complicated, not the player's fault, but price has a massive bearing tho. Igamane cost buttons and scored 16 goals for us despite not being the main striker for an equally poor Rangers. Chermiti is our biggest fee in decades and rarely scores despite being the main striker.

Makes sense?
Moore is a much younger player who we haven't paid anything for, so is just being judged on performance, and would he be worth paying for potential with belief we could still make a profit. Again, makes sense?

27 Mar 2026 09:39:02
But it's only screamers from outside the box, Keny scores, DeBoer. 😉

27 Mar 2026 11:48:48
Has Coldo got a new name Kaiser? He has been quiet for a while. 🤔

27 Mar 2026 12:29:50
Never even thought of that, Storm. Took it as a fair question tbh in defence of Chermiti but thought I'd give my take.

27 Mar 2026 12:30:24
Defo, Storm.

27 Mar 2026 15:04:10
Coldo won't be on with his team below us now.

27 Mar 2026 16:12:40
Kaiser, his point is valid though. Why is Moore only being judged on performance and Chermiti on his price tag as well? Moore's stats aren't as good as Chermiti, but fans want to pay £15-20M for him. But when that happened, would he be judged on his price and become the new Chermiti? Every other player loaned or ours only get judged on their performances; well, Naderi does get a bit of price tag due to league he came from.


Not a defence of Chermiti before anyone says, but just trying to see the thought process.

27 Mar 2026 16:45:41
Angus Moore isn't getting judged on price tag because he is on loan. 👍

Moore will have a better career than Chermiti, hands down, in my opinion also. He is 18. What age is Chermiti? 23? Let's see what Moore is doing at 23.

27 Mar 2026 16:46:20
Sorry, Angus, just checked he is 21, got him and Manny age mixed. Let's see what Moore is doing at 21.

27 Mar 2026 16:49:51
Chermiti actors this morning g for u21s good front post header.

27 Mar 2026 17:03:26
Chermiti is only 21 years old and in his first proper season, but this clearly gets forgotten about by many.

27 Mar 2026 17:10:57
Moore will have a cracking career but so will Chermiti.

27 Mar 2026 18:47:04
This isn't about age or whether we own him though. It is about judging players on different criteria as it suits. Moore still plays every game for the team, so surely the criteria for judgement are the same. Moore came off the back of 20+ games for Spurs first team.

Chermiti came off the back of 200 minutes sub appearances, so, if anything, the judgement of Moore should be harsher, as he has more experience.

Interesting though to see how people can justify it. 👍 Not taking sides here, btw, just interested in the mental process fans follow.

27 Mar 2026 19:00:26
I think Chermiti probably is worth what we paid now.
When we signed him I'd say he should've maybe cost £6/7m not £9m, but he's now probably worth £12-15m, so we're showing he was a good acquisition.

Moore was valued at £20m in summer when we got him on loan.
He's probably justifying that valuation without increasing it.

Moore is a difficult signing to justify because £20m is roughly the max we can expect to make for most players in this country.

Do we think we could get him on a £15m rising to £20m with conditions? Plus likely 20% sell on.


If so we'd be lucky to get £30m max for him if we sold back to England. So we'd make £10m, minus 20%, which would be £2m, so an £8m profit expected.

It would be good business if we could do that, but it's a big gamble due to the outlay.

I suppose it comes down to whether we can afford it, and if the chairman says we can and we do then I'd say it's a good signing and he'll justify it over 2 seasons before moving back south.

Like any transfer, a player is worth what a club is willing to play, and if Moore was our player now, we'd want £20m.

27 Mar 2026 19:46:45
No, what really is hissing me off with some of the Rangers fans is, we win very easily 4-1 and they go on about how our cf's never got on the score sheet. Winning games is the only important part in football.

We would all love putting in tremendous performances game by game, and our cf's scoring hat-tricks, but that isn't the important part, as we have seen under our greatest manager in my lifetime.

27 Mar 2026 19:49:05
Stevie, your thought process is a good idea but I don't think that Europe's top five leagues would be willing to pay big cash to an SPL team, which would restrict what Rangers can recoup for a £20M investment.

While leagues like the Portuguese Primeira Liga or the Eredivisie are seen as elite finishing schools that regularly command £40M-£80M fees, the SPFL is still viewed by many scouts as a "low-coefficient" environment.
Because the Scottish record for a departure still sits around the £25M mark (set by Matt O'Riley and Jota), paying £20M upfront effectively wipes out any realistic profit margin; for the move to be financially "successful," Moore would have to become the most expensive export in Scottish history just for Rangers to break even after factoring in wages and sell-on clauses.

For that reason, I don't think we would pay that sort of cash. If we start selling a few at close to Jota prices, and regularly, then who knows for the future.

27 Mar 2026 22:29:22
You need to set up that last seasons side was equally poor but you can check the stats we create a decent bit less this season than last

Why do you think we can switch out 6 different strikers and not get any goals?

Igammane was never relied on so he never got the same stick but he was lazy, and like seen would throw a fit if he didn't get the transfer he wanted

Chermiti is the biggest in decades by 1 MILLION if he hits his targets and he will be topped by Scott Wilson next season

inflation adjusted RYAN KENT is still the biggest recent transfer but you can't make that jump in your mind for some reason

What about Miovski because you all decided he would work out when he signed he doesn't get the same criticism, he's the starter main striker at 7M with NO SELL ON POTENTIAL

Danilo, not good enough, Dessers not good enough

You back Ryan Nadiri more, why? he's done a grand total of 0 but because you don't like Chermiti you back the other guy

You consistently did this with Dessers and Danilo and we can see Danilo was the worst contributor at the higher fee but fans begged for him like things would change, things were worse when he played

Lets keep putting our biggest youth assets under pressure that will benefit the club long term

Moore's age is irrelevant he's an 18-20m player that if we signed for money you'd have UNBELIEVABLE expectations for because you think money = result

You can't separate 8m for a youth player (Chermiti) and 7m for a starting striker (Miovski) one grows the other shrinks

Why is the 8m youth player getting it and not the 7m starter whose not good enough to play?

I'll remind you why, conspiracy theories about Thelwells links to everton

was the same with Dessers you forgot you disliked him because he was signed by Michael Beale, was nothing to do with 'sitters' there's no evidence for that with 29 goals no pens

go watch Maeda their strikers miss the same chances at the same rates and win them titles the vast majority of the time

27 Mar 2026 23:56:02
Complicated, barely managing to understand your post now. 1st we never signed Miovski for £7m, it was £2.6m rising to £4.2m, which is a big difference, Chermiti will be £10m if he hits targets, so Skov will be less. So you're wrong on those counts, but yes, if ud used him as a comparison instead of Igamane, then Chermiti is far better. Don't think anyone thinks Miovski's been a good signing. Iga had a stinking end, but still performed far better than Chermiti has so far despite only being 2nd choice.
As for Moore, of course, players are judged differently depending on age and price. One is ours that we paid record amounts for and hasn't justified it yet. The other is a loan player who's 3 years younger and is performing to a level and showing the potential that could justify the fee in the future.

It's about investment tied in with performance. Moore is much younger and already has a bigger reputation and is performing far better and more consistently whilst still obviously having a lot to learn and develop. Maybe if we had paid already we'd look at him differently, but now we've had a chance to see him first. Given how he's performed, we can judge if we want to pay top dollar and if we believe he will improve, the opposite was true with Chermiti who we paid top dollar for first then hoped would perform. Not hating on Chermiti and hope he keeps getting better, but as of this moment Moore is younger, has greater potential, is performing far better, and is worth more. And nothing to do with still hating Thelwell either.
It really is not that complicated.

28 Mar 2026 01:51:08
Angus, we're on the same wavelength, I think, mate.

It just seems too difficult a transfer to justify, unless the chairman wants to make a statement similar to what Murray used to do regularly.

I do get the feeling Cavanagh wants to make statements.

28 Mar 2026 05:19:08
She didn't come into it, why, Angus? Surely age does come into it? Unless it doesn't suit your narrative?

28 Mar 2026 07:47:56
Storm, age comes into it but not as a way to exclude someone from criticism. Similarly, not owning the player comes into it but Moore is excused for it more than Skov Olsen who we also don't own, yes we may have an option but we haven't exercised it yet.

In this case, experience is more relevant if you consider Moore with his good first team experience at 18 for Spurs. I would expect him to show more development as he has had 20 first team games in a good league no matter his age.

Then Chermiti, who is a bit older but has only 200 minutes in the same league.

So even though he is older, he hasn't had the same experience and development. So Chermiti is having to do this year what Moore already did last year. The difference is that fans can't see that because of the price tag.

But similarly, would fans wanting Moore to be bought for £20M suddenly forget and forgive that price tag when he is still developing as he is still a young lad?

So nothing about my narrative, as you seem to always want to claim. Just an opinion, which you seem to want to only give the right to have to people who agree with you. 🤷

28 Mar 2026 08:03:46
I'm not for one second saying I would pay £15-£20m for Moore as I don't believe we should be paying that much on one player at this time, but comparison will always be made based on how much we spend. I agree, Storm, of course. Their age also comes into it. There is bound to be less demand put on an 18yr old. What about Curtis, who is actually a better comparison for position and age with Moore? Would u place the same expectation on him as Chermiti?
Sorry, but complicated's post is just full of inaccuracies and poor comparisons with players who performed far better for far less, who are much younger, and who play in different positions.

Chermiti is a first choice striker who's made 11 goals /assists scoring in 5. Moore is a development loan attacking midfielder /winger who's made 10 goals /assists scoring in 6, if u want to bring in stats.

28 Mar 2026 08:14:08
Right, so Miovski goes for 7m then 5m, and now what next? Name someone who was signed to be the main striker that's had a worse season

Like I said, it's the Kevin Thelwell links that got him. You can ask any gpt to track it, or just web scrape it. Everyone was excited but apprehensive in the beginning.

We don't get stability under RM, no goals. DR comes in with one goal in mind to make us hard to beat, no goals.



I wouldn't even say it's a Miovski problem to me, it's always been a lack of Hagi or Cantwell creative type. That's the issue, our midfield has no defence splitting passers.

Chermiti has no goals because nobody has any. We scored majority set piece for a period where the manager made us difficult to beat, not creative.

I see Chermiti doing things I haven't seen a Rangers striker do. When it was Igammane, he was a god.

28 Mar 2026 08:23:21
And Scott Wilson's loan fee is included, he's the most expensive.

Chermiti Ryan Kent signing, I don't remember any uproar about it at the time, and keep in mind Mikey More is 2x the price and 1/2 the player of Ryan Kent at this age, that's a downgrade until he's good enough consistently and he gets instantly sold.

Expect Scott Wilson at Ibrox next season regardless, the board doesn't care what you think about the players, hence their consistent statements about their expectations and how well they feel Chermiti is doing (name

It's almost like the expectations you have are misplaced vs the football club, it's obviously Miovski's fault first.



At 21 he's as good a striker as any we've had, and if you want to quote Morelos his first season was Pedro's, he got better season on season but he wasn't great in his first, his second was better but not good enough by the modern Chermiti scale.

28 Mar 2026 08:35:28
I truly think both Moore and Chermiti have the talent to have superb careers in front of them. 👌🇬🇧

28 Mar 2026 08:59:52
Angus, a number of points, so bear with me. 1st, if we'd paid £20m for Moore, then absolutely he'd be getting judged on that. And if we do in the summer, it's something he will have to deal with. It's just a fact of football, esp if it's a record smashing fee. Flo is regarded as a mistake by many despite actually doing well.

At his age, yes, it does give more leeway from criticism as u expect an 18 Yr old to be learning and making mistakes, mostly coming off the bench, the same as it would for Curtis or if we started giving someone like Lawson minutes. There has been plenty of criticism too, but his performances have justified pushing ahead of more established players.
Moore is excused more than Skov, again partly because of age but also partly because of fee. Skov is an experienced international player who comes with a reputation, and with it expectation, which he hasn't lived up to as yet, so isn't justifying the potential fees.

Moore so far has only cost us a loan, but more importantly is performing far better.
The minutes he played, yes, show good development and highlight potential, but it also says Spurs realised he's not good enough yet, so he needs to go out and develop. Does it not also raise more questions about Chermiti being further behind in development despite already having been bought for a large amount? How far do u make that allowance? If he'd been 21 with only 200mins? Or 22/23? Would u still be saying he just hasn't had the same experience or development?
Again not hating on Chermiti but comparisons of performance based on age and fees are just part of football.

28 Mar 2026 09:13:13
Moore is half the player of Ryan Kent at 18 year old? Hopefully if picked that up wrong.
Kasier, experience should always count more than any player's age, even younger Moore has more experience.

28 Mar 2026 09:37:12
The Thelwell reason is just pure nonsense, mate. You compared liking Moore but not Chermiti, but both were bought by the same guy. Same as the Beale or Martin one, for that matter. We liked some they signed and not others, not because of who signed them.
U are right, though, about Miovski being a failure so far, tho. He probably doesn't face the same criticism, as we aren't even watching him, but also because we haven't paid nearly as much, less than £3m, and doubt we'll have to pay the add ons unless he performs.

Skov might break Chermiti's fee, but we haven't bought him yet, and most don't want us to. So that doesn't change Chermiti being our biggest fee at this point. Chermiti has undoubted talent, and hopefully performs well enough that we have to pay the extra that will eclipse the Skov fee even further.

28 Mar 2026 09:43:03
Why I wanted Curtis loaned out, even only 15/20 games getting played constantly that brings so much experience.

28 Mar 2026 10:15:02
Moore gained that experience though because he deserved it based on his performance. The question is valid then as to why others have not despite being much older. That's why I egsagerate(? ) if he was even older, would u still say it's OK he's just not had much experience or would u think why?
The Kent thing is just made up nonsense.

He never joined us on loan till he was 21. Before that he was kicking around Coventry, Barnsley and Bristol to varying degrees of success. Kent at 18 is way ahead of him.
Mystar, I also agree with Curtis loan to give him that experience, and it's working.

28 Mar 2026 10:36:17
Sorry, correction, Moore at 18 is way ahead. Messed that up.

28 Mar 2026 10:50:01
Curtis on loan sure is Kasier, called up for the national side at 19 years old, he'll return a better player, mate.
Chermiti had injuries at Everton, only played a handful of games at Sporting, he's never had nearly enough experience, let's see him next season, will only be better, hopefully his performances help us win the league.



I'd prefer Moore right now than any Ryan Kent at any age.

28 Mar 2026 11:06:16
Kaiser let's firstly just agree that complicated's posts is full of inaccuracies and probably just to rile people. however the subject of it is allowing for us to have this conversation.

and sorry my response is even longer than your original 😂

I just think that age, whilst relevant isn't what I am looking at to compare in this case. Moore at the age of 17 moved from Spurs U18s to their top team and played 21 first team games for them. Chermiti at same age was only playing age group for Sporting. he has played first team football for both Sporting and Everton but less time per game on average; 12 minutes per game with Everton. so Moore jumped form 1st team regular game time to us regular game time. Chermiti was almost always a sub for 10 minutes or so.

so I am saying that despite his age that Moore is further in his development as a first team player. Chermiti is improving this season as it progresses but probably needs to score more goals if that is what he is being asked to do. but he will improve and develop and I think I see enough of that already to give him that additional time he needs.

I guess it is the old chestnut of players needing time to settle at a club and if they haven't really played before then it might take more, whatever the price we paid for them. and both are developing at Rangers whether loan or not so I don't see a difference other than being willing to give a £20M rated player more leeway than an £8M rated one.

not building up Chermiti either just that I think with development he could become a key player for us and one we can make a profit on. Not that different to Moore but we are developing him for another club to make profit on. so give our player more patience 🤷

I would give Curtis the same leeway as well and in fact any young developing player. the difference imo is that fans give Moore and would give Curtis more support and acceptance just because they don't have a big fee on their head. just accept the fee and make the same allowances and he will progress faster IMO.

I do agree about expecting more from Skov Olsen but he has had 7 or 8 games just. ignoring everything else how many of the players we now want to keep or sell for large fees did we want rid of at that point in their Rangers career.

I just happen to be trying to be a bit more patient as rushing to decisions about players hasn't done us any favours so far. we need to build steam and not just discard every player after 8 games or even a season as it takes time to feel at home at a club where the demands are huge.

so we probably aren't that far away in what we think I just believe time is needed. History across football shows this is the case.

28 Mar 2026 13:19:18
Jeezo and I thought Stig could gab. 👍😉

28 Mar 2026 13:28:57
Angus, I agree with everything u say there, mate, particularly on the nonsense that was spouted. 😜 They all need time and think most have real potential and could develop under Danny. It's just u can't ignore differences in ages and transfer fees when making comparisons about demands and expectations. Unfortunately that's just football and life. 😁👍

28 Mar 2026 13:31:33
Sorry, Fork, I'm not good enough to write articles so u just have to put up with my ramblings. 😜

28 Mar 2026 13:57:41
Fork ditto for me. 😂🙈

28 Mar 2026 15:42:03
It's if your ramblings are gd enough to be turned into an article, our illustrious moderators choose and make them look great, I'm in the same boat, but have had one done. 😉 👍

28 Mar 2026 17:43:00
Fork possibly hearing what I have to say once is enough. Articles get sent out again the next day. 😂 No-one deserves that.

28 Mar 2026 18:04:18
Angus, you said it isn't about age and then say age is relevant. What one is it? Also, I haven't seen anyone say they would sign Moore for 20 million, and I certainly wouldn't.
I got bored reading War and Peace, so can't comment on the rest.



This is only my opinion but short and sweet straight to the point is better than 1million words of bs. Just make the point instead of all the blah blah and that is not aimed at you, Angus, it's for us all. Some may agree, most may not.

26 Mar 2026 06:02:54
According to reports nasser Djiga is wanted by his former club red star belgrade this summer🤔The report states wolves want around £8million and allegedly Rangers have told them they won't pay that amount🤔 It's also too big a fee for red star but with them having already clinched their league title it could be doable regarding their champions league qualification etc 🤔I think like many now, big Djiga has certainly impressed me with his superb performances of late and wouldn't mind signing him permanently, but of course that's dependant on the fee wolves want 🤔I like the Fernandez and Djiga centre half pairing and there's a good chance we might not have any the two of them at Ibrox next season ☹️

26 Mar 2026 07:35:26
I'd like to keep him, but with Wolves going down, they may also want to use him. I think 8m is too steep and we could do better. If big Fernandez stays, then I'd be more inclined to want to keep Djiga.

26 Mar 2026 08:53:04
I believe they paid euros 10m, so if it's euros 8m they want, I'd pay that. We'll make a profit in him for sure.

26 Mar 2026 09:03:33
Djiga will probably cost 7/8m, but where do we get better at that price? Improved massively the last couple of months, I'd be all in for signing him at that price.

26 Mar 2026 09:10:31
7/8m is really pennies in transfer fees now.

26 Mar 2026 09:19:27
Pennies for big teams, but still quite a big outlay for us, but would one I would be willing to fork out if we can.

26 Mar 2026 09:28:15
Still pennies in transfer fees, mate, doesn't matter if it's a big club or not, Me2.

26 Mar 2026 09:34:31
Defence has been needing money spent on it for years now. Go get him. His pace is a big help and allows us to play higher up.

26 Mar 2026 09:49:16
Are we not a big team?

Got to spend money to make money, and anything under £10m should be the new standard for our signings.

Especially if players like Fernandez will sell for over £20m.

26 Mar 2026 10:12:48
After a shaky start (who didn't, though), he has been immense since coming back from AFCON.

26 Mar 2026 10:21:36
Beale, I'm with u mate. £7m, rising to 8, would be fair to me.

26 Mar 2026 11:53:45
Rumour is we want north of £30 million for Fernandez. If we get that sort of money, I would try sign Djiga. We should try get the fee closer to the 5/6million still.

26 Mar 2026 12:01:38
We can't afford that, but will to spank just less on Olsen? I would be signing the boy as he will make us money.
If you can keep him and Manny for next season, our defence would be in a good place imo. New right back and young keeper, and we would have a good starting block.

I think Fernandes will go, unfortunately. Rightly so, there will be top teams looking at him, and if we manage to get CL and he does good there and internationally, his price will soar. Big clubs will realise this, sadly.

Would love to keep him for at least another season. As for Djiga, as big dado says, go get him. We would pay in region of 5m for a good cb, with him, we at least know he can play in the league and handle the weight of the jersey.

26 Mar 2026 12:16:53
Both won't be here next season.

26 Mar 2026 12:25:03
Why would Wolves sell for that? They paid 10m for him, then sent him on loan to get experience, which he's got now, then sell for less? I know they've been run badly, but that is poor business. They'll likely need him in the Championship. Would question paying that much for him anyway, based on the whole season, not just the few games since his comeback.

26 Mar 2026 12:25:47
If Wolves want £8million, and we won't pay it, and Red Star want him but it's too much for them, then surely he won't be going there either. We've heard all this before. Brighton wanted £10million for Sima and then sold him for £4million. It's all about negotiating tactics and brinkmanship at this point.

26 Mar 2026 12:31:41
I'm told we think we can get him for around £4m.

26 Mar 2026 13:22:38
Yesterday people were saying this club might have £16m to spend this summer. Let us assume that's true. £8m would be half of our summer budget. This team needs:

- LB to replace Meghoma.
- Souttar simply isn't good enough. Cornelius and Djiga have loans expiring, so we'll have one CB we can hang our hat on in Fernandez. Multiple CBs are needed.
- Aarons will be gone, and Tavernier is out of contract. So that's two new RBs.
- A number 6 is desperately needed.


- An attacking midfielder to replace Mikey Moore will be needed.
- A wide attacker to play RW will be needed as it looks like Skov Olsen hasn't worked out.
- A striker that can score goals will be needed.

Can Rangers afford to spend half of their summer budget on one player? No. Some will say 'but player will be sold' - If we sell Raskin, or Fernandez, that is more positions we need to fill. A lot of work is needed.

26 Mar 2026 14:09:46
RWC, there is no point assuming what our transfer budget will be. More people said about 30 million than said 16. None of us know, and if we sell players, we may spend even more.

Bb4, I know big clubs apparently looking at Manny, but CL level may be a bit too far at the moment for him.

Another season with us, as he hasn't played loads of football for his age, and think he would be in a better place end of next season for step up mate.

26 Mar 2026 14:16:50
I expect to be in profit in the summer after ins and outs are completed.

I expect us to spend around £30m on ins.

26 Mar 2026 14:29:33
Do we have a buy option agreed for Meghoma?

26 Mar 2026 14:42:17
Can't see Brentford selling Meghoma, would be another 8m or very similar, a player I really like but we can't spend that for a squad player, good few lb's ooc.

26 Mar 2026 15:42:35
Agree, Storm, not sure he's ready for CL either. What I mean is, are teams willing to take the chance that he does play very well in CL for us, or jump in now and buy potential.

26 Mar 2026 15:46:18
Up until 6 weeks ago, he was never getting another game. It's good to see players who we wrote off turning into players we would spend 8m on. I like the big fella, but we should be a bit more considerate in players all over the pitch, in my opinion. It's quite the turnaround for Djiga.

26 Mar 2026 16:26:35
As soon as Souttar was removed from the team, Djiga and Fernandez look a lot more confident. Stevie from 4lads has a theory that Djiga and Fernandez only looked nervous throughout the season when Souttar was involved. For what it's worth, he seems to be correct.

The lads on the Rangers Review accused Souttar of 'being at the scene of the crime too often'. Souttar's mistakes cost us two goals as Livingston, and even when brought on as a sub against Celtic, we looked more shaky at the back. The less football Souttar plays the better.

26 Mar 2026 17:01:47
Shout out to Storm who called it with Souttar, I thought he was talking single fish, but turns out he was spot on.

26 Mar 2026 17:24:18
My start. Brentford can have him, he's second choice at Ibrox. We ain't paying 4million for the boy.

26 Mar 2026 18:10:08
Meghoma - not for me thx. 🤔 Gut feeling is we could do much better.

26 Mar 2026 18:19:31
We will sign James Penrice in the summer, which will give us 2 very good left backs in Rommens and Penrice.

26 Mar 2026 19:16:08
Can't see Penrice being high on our radar, SWS. He has two years left on his contract. He has neither the height nor the energy that Rohl likes. He wouldn't come here to sit on the bench and he's never had a sniff at a Scotland squad at any age group and he's now 27.

And, before anyone complains, he never had Robertson or Tierney in front of him at the younger age groups. He just wasn't considered. I'm sure there's far better out there who will be OOC and free.

26 Mar 2026 19:55:09
RWC, I agree about Souttar wholeheartedly. 👌

Baz, thanks, but don't need a shout out and I wish I was wrong about Souttar as I want all the players to succeed at Rangers, even the ones I don't think will.

26 Mar 2026 20:18:34
Rfc, we won't get him then, but his club is highly unlikely to sell him anyway. Meghoma is only a 19-year-old, loaned out at Preston and Rangers in the last couple of seasons. He'll go far in the game.

27 Mar 2026 00:18:51
I'd rather Penrice as back up to Rommens.

I wouldn't be against Kenny McLean as a squad player and leader in dressing room, he'd be a great addition to our set up.

27 Mar 2026 01:39:34
The sample size is not big enough to put out that big a fee on either. If they were good the full season, then maybe, but the fact nearly everyone wanted Djiga gone tells how bad he was playing. Even if he's looking good, we need a longer run of games from someone to justify that fee.

27 Mar 2026 01:53:48
Bleed blue, many wanted rid of Super Ally.
Rixksen.
Amo.
Goram.

Many more.

Djiga is going to be some player in 2 years time, we need to jump in that.

27 Mar 2026 08:08:11
I get that, Storm, but fairs fair. There's players we disagree on, but I'm happy to admit when I'm wrong and someone else right. I totally believe you want them to do well, just calling it how you see it.

27 Mar 2026 08:24:32
StevieG, even if he does turn out good, how much of our budget should we be prepared to spend on one player?

27 Mar 2026 11:51:16
Cheers mate.

27 Mar 2026 15:16:38
Kaiser, that is a big issue maybe, and I totally agree, without the info in front of us, it's hard to say for sure how we do it, but that's the going rate for a half decent player nowadays so if we want to build a quality side that's what we need to spend.



I wouldn't be against selling Manny for a high fee to fund the signing of Djiga and Doehki as a pairing and still be in profit.

28 Mar 2026 14:00:48
Stevie, that isn't the case though. We don't need to buy dear, we just need to buy sensibly. Igamane, Manny, Chucky, and almost every one of the team is under £4M. Problem with paying a lot is, if it does fail (and 60% do on average), then we make a bigger loss. I would rather buy 5 decent players at £4M than 1 at £20M.

25 Mar 2026 20:06:35
I said I got a message last week from my mate about the ST getting delayed due to an excitement announcement. I'm assuming the share issue is the announcement he was talking about although I'd say it's more of a positive than exciting statement tbh.

25 Mar 2026 20:26:50
Good info gmw. More to follow.

25 Mar 2026 21:29:55
The only time I've been excited with a Rangers statement GMW was the 49ers takeover and then all my excitement went down the pan with the Russel Martin announcement. 😄🚽🧻

26 Mar 2026 07:33:47
Me too, Three Cheers. 😂 Exciting? It's essentially we're putting up your season tickets, and those in jobs are being asked to do their jobs better.

26 Mar 2026 09:01:28
Hi, I read the emails were to be sent out yesterday (25th) for renewals. Has anyone received their email to renew, or could it now be today.

26 Mar 2026 14:01:04
Received them and paid last night.

25 Mar 2026 19:14:26
Recently had a very interesting conversation with Piotr Kasprzak, the scout responsible for identifying Redzic, Frigan, Belcar and Annan - all of which rejected moves to us over the last season or two.

He genuinely believes that Scottish Football is now regarded as a third tier league by the vast majority of the Balkan leagues and is not seen as a viable pathway for emerging talent - who would rather move to the second division in France and Germany or the Austrian and Swiss leagues.

With the changes to European qualification for next season and our inability to retain the best from our own youth, there is a genuine concern for our future transfer strategy.

25 Mar 2026 19:31:44
Somehow that doesn't surprise me, Ehl. The running/promotion of our league is shambolic at best.

At very least, a couple of things need to happen asap, full time officials, bring back reserve league with strict rules to play mostly homegrown/academy players.

Introduce & enforce a rule so no transfer of u18 players out of Scotland (e.g. Brazil).

25 Mar 2026 19:40:47
Correct, Ehl. I think that's why we r seeing subtle changes in focus towards Scandinavia, Portugal, and Belgium.

25 Mar 2026 20:11:46
I'm sure we'll manage to survive just fine without them.

25 Mar 2026 21:09:28
Plenty of quality in the leagues, with very reasonable prices.

25 Mar 2026 21:11:20
Makes you wonder why we didn't pick up Shankland and Mckenna on a free in the summer with all these difficulties in the transfer market.

25 Mar 2026 21:14:03
Was reading the other day, Koppen has been moved up at Copenhagen, the technical director, when he joined, is now working under him.

25 Mar 2026 22:49:55
Ehl, let's bring our own through. Love a team of 11 Scottish.

26 Mar 2026 02:20:42
Well, when we buy a third tier German player for a record fee, we kinda do it to ourselves.

26 Mar 2026 07:48:08
Had very limited success from those regions anyway, but with no pathway for development, it doesn't matter what country you're from until SFA or whoever changes.

26 Mar 2026 08:00:04
Simple solution. Improve our players, sell them to good leagues for great money.

The club is the attraction, not the league so much, but obviously plays a part.

I think if Hearts win league and or keep improving, then the league only gets better.

26 Mar 2026 08:23:01
Good points, Gdog, it's been a better league this year for me, just because the Glasgow teams have struggled, a few others have also stepped up their game.

26 Mar 2026 08:23:03
Gdog, I agree with you, but the problem is that we don't have patience to allow players to improve if they aren't playing well when they arrive. We have a good few examples in our team just now who will improve, but they aren't good enough for the team just now, supposedly, so we want to just get rid.


We need that pathway in the club to do it as they won't keep having share issues like the last board. Player development and sales are probably the most important element in our ability to grow, even more important than CL qualification in my mind; at least initially as player sales is where real money lies.

26 Mar 2026 08:31:17
That view point will change after a few high profile sales of players like Fernandez and Gassama amongst others. Once the pathway from lower to higher is consistently proven from us, players will want to come.

26 Mar 2026 09:03:31
Wish we could get back to having a reserve league. It was good, if you couldn't manage the first team away game you could always go to the reserve games at Ibrox. Used to get some decent crowds.

26 Mar 2026 12:28:47
Rostoso, you need the players to want to come to us, yeah we could have, and should have, had Shankland especially with Dessers going, but I don't think McKenna was ever likely to come to us and he was supposedly earning £50k a week at Forest, we ain't paying that.

26 Mar 2026 12:47:39
Strange though that the Balkans don't rate our league but the Italians and English clubs go after our young players. I know where I'd rather end up.

26 Mar 2026 12:04:42
Tf2 a reserve league is a must but won't happen because of cost and the way our football is run in this country.

Scotland is a terrible place for young up and coming foreigners to come to these days and the weather doesn't help either

25 Mar 2026 18:30:50
Interesting internal statement tonight from the Chairman, few things addressed that have been discussed on this forum sure they will come out in the wash in the next few days.

25 Mar 2026 18:55:32
Drew a good positive statement.

25 Mar 2026 19:00:10
John, very much so, a surprise or two in there as well!

25 Mar 2026 19:09:34
No surprise season tickets going up again. Wish they would use some of the money to fix the Copland Rear, the place is still a building site from the work done adding the seats.

25 Mar 2026 19:16:47
Reading back some posts on here from the last few days.

A couple posters were claiming that Cavenagh wanted experience for the SD role, and one claiming Stig was favourite.

What happened to that?

25 Mar 2026 19:21:47
Great contribution Gable Green, so he's called something different, but he is staying on.

25 Mar 2026 21:07:22
I think keeping Stig on (and not hiring a DOF) is great business for the club.

26 Mar 2026 12:31:42
Cavenagh said we are not hiring a Sporting Director, that is not the same role as a Director of Football. In fact, we were looking to hire a DOF to work under Thelwell at one stage. I don't know what it will be called, but I suspect we will have somebody in that kind of role, although maybe not overseeing everything like Thelwell was supposed to.
