Rangers Transfer Rumours

17 Dec 2025 16:37:12
Lee McCulloch being looked at to be part of the recruitment team.
Quite a few good sources have picked this upn.

17 Dec 2025 12:39:53
Daily rag reports we have temporarily employed Norwegian, Stig Inge Bjornebye as a consultant to help in the January transfer window identifying players. Asa, any info on him, his background seems good.

17 Dec 2025 13:02:52
I definitely know of him and looks a really good temporarily appointment with plenty experience 👌.

17 Dec 2025 13:17:39
Rangers have appointed Stig Inge Bjornebye as football consultant and advisor for an initial period of around six months.
Article on bbc.

17 Dec 2025 13:20:57
For all we know, this might actually be Asa! ;)

17 Dec 2025 13:31:25
DTB stop 😂😂😂.

17 Dec 2025 13:32:32
Wouldn't it be funny if Asa real name was Stig 😂.

17 Dec 2025 13:40:52
This is the guy who played for Liverpool isn't it?

17 Dec 2025 14:03:45
Do the bouncy are u think of risse?

17 Dec 2025 14:18:19
Stevie, we already have a Stig on here my friend 😁.

17 Dec 2025 14:20:08
He knows the Scandinavian market inside out and most scandanavians that have came to scottish football over the years have always settled well and done well 👍.

17 Dec 2025 14:44:47
Distinct possibility Stevie - Name rings a bell as well though.

17 Dec 2025 14:56:23
Coops yeah that's what the pun was at lol

And sorry dtb I see it was Liverpool player.

17 Dec 2025 15:02:51
Stevie he did play for Liverpool this guy.

17 Dec 2025 15:11:25
He played for Liverpool and Blackburn I'm sure.

17 Dec 2025 15:16:59
Ye he played for liverpool.

17 Dec 2025 15:18:33
Very good at his Job. As director of football he moulded Aarhus into a title winning team.
Would be a good permanent appointment.

17 Dec 2025 15:37:44
Sws maybe a temporary appointment, I'm seeing as testing the water and seeing if he's capable of the job mate.

17 Dec 2025 15:40:33
Aphelion think he could be the man, testing the water first.

17 Dec 2025 15:51:47
Aphe, do u feel this is a trial 6 months or a temporary 6 months mate.

17 Dec 2025 16:05:58
I think it is a trial 6 months but potentially for the CEO Role.

17 Dec 2025 12:14:55
So reports stating arsenal gona bid 20 to 25m for Raskin in January. If true we can't turn that down.

17 Dec 2025 12:41:14
Could do a lot with money like that - would miss Raskin but that's a lot of coin.

17 Dec 2025 12:52:22
reports from where?

17 Dec 2025 13:05:28
Or we could waste it SuperAlly, just like we did with the £20m we spent in the summer. Why is it every year we need another rebuild. What is wrong with our recruitment?

17 Dec 2025 13:05:52
Can't see it, central midfield is not a position that Arsenal are weak in, they have Zubimendi, Rice, Merino and Norgaard all available to play there. Nico would be risking his WC place by not playing regularly if he went there in January.

The likes of Spurs who have also been linked could be possible as they are still building a squad and Frank has signed players from the SPFL when he was at Brentford, so doesn't have the snobbery about our league that some down south do.

17 Dec 2025 13:09:08
Not denying the veracity of the rumour but you got to wonder where he fits into that midfield! We have no option but to accept that offer if it comes in.

17 Dec 2025 13:10:36
Raskin ain't getting near the Arsenal midfield but with better quality he would improve as we've seen him. do with Belguim.

17 Dec 2025 14:08:21
He is perhaps a better player than norgaard.

If norgaard has asked for a move due to not playing any mins then this could be his replacement.

17 Dec 2025 14:54:00
Stevie I'm a Arsenal fan too and I can tell he's not better than Norgaard, could be in time. Tobget into that team Raskin would have to be so much better than he's performed this season and actually be able to pass a ball, only has legs over Norgaard.

If this is at all true, I'd happy take less money and get Nwaneri on loan if at all possible. Nwaneri as a 10 or on the RW would be fantastic for us, bit of a dream but him and Moore would cause chaos.

17 Dec 2025 15:19:47
True blue just type Rangers news into Google. Few media outlets reporting this.

17 Dec 2025 15:54:47
Djb I've heard nwaneri wants out on loan in January can u confirm that?
He's a top prospect btw.

I still say the Raskin we see playing for Belgium or against spurs for example is better than norgaard 💯 for sure he is.

All about opinions though mate, thanks.

17 Dec 2025 16:42:44
Stevie I believe the plan was to loan him out last summer with Eze and Madueke coming in as he dropped down the pecking order but Odegaard got injured then plans changed. With the world cup coming I can see him wanting out on loan for that and his development but whether we are the right team in for that in Arsenal's view, I don't know.

15 Dec 2025 17:06:59
Pierre ekwah, has terminated his contract with st ettiene and apparently Rangers and udinese are battling it out to sign him in January.
26yo.

15 Dec 2025 17:20:46
Stevie it's a number six like him we need mate, play cb if needed, played about every league game for Sunderland a couple of seasons ago.

15 Dec 2025 17:20:54
He's apparently on furlough, who'd have thought they'd hear that word again.

15 Dec 2025 17:25:14
Fits profile but think he is 23, turning 24 January.

15 Dec 2025 17:34:36
Good player horrible attitude. No from me.

15 Dec 2025 18:07:10
Don't know anything about his attitude after Sunderland.

15 Dec 2025 18:16:42
I know nothing of him lads. Just forwarding what I came across.

I'm sure it said 26yo rfc, either way it's a good age.

Aphe, that's the kind of thing I feel a good manager can decide at an interview before signing him.
Kind of what Beale was on about when he was in charge.

15 Dec 2025 18:46:08
I agree Stevie but the sheer disrespect and disregard shown to a manager in Eirik Horneland and St. Ettiene who had shown faith and trust in him was abhorrent.

We don't need any more selfish primadonnas anywhere near Rangers.

15 Dec 2025 19:43:17
Aphelion

You don't know the ins and outs of what's happened with the boy at St Etienne.

15 Dec 2025 20:19:20
2 sides to every story best not to dive in when knowing nothing about it, I read it was contractual but not it was not clear. as to who was at fault if anyone.

15 Dec 2025 20:40:24
Scott in mainstream media. they had an option on him from Sunderland which the player obviously agreed to. St Etienne took up that option when they were relegated so he was signed. He then refused to play for them at all. he terminated his contract and hasn't played so far this season. tbh do we want a player who does that to his club.

15 Dec 2025 20:45:36
Why is he selfish? Read there's a clause in his contract cause they got relegated which st ettiene did not honour.

15 Dec 2025 20:49:56
Scott it's his opinion on the player which he is allowed to have.

15 Dec 2025 21:04:13
Paul yes that appears to be the problem no word the player is problematic, nothing whatsoever. Had no problem at Sunderland and actually some on their sites saying get him back.

15 Dec 2025 22:06:32
Gers84 good player for Sunderland that will be why mate, never had any attitude at Sunderland, people are only going on hearsay without knowing the reason behind it.

15 Dec 2025 22:07:34
He only signed in the summer after St Etienne took up his option to purchase. There doesn't seem to be a clause on whether they were relegated I base this on his agent's claim that he is looking to invoke the ruling for Lassana Diarra in 2024 where he terminated his contract, whilst paling in Russia and that club wouldn't release his contract. ECJ got involved and found in his favour. issue is that the ruling was about terminating a contract without 'just cause'.

so he will have to pay a termination fee as the new club can't automatically be claimed against any more. so if he doesn't have 'just cause' to terminate it does that sound like the paperwork supported him terminating?
would we think the same if we sign him and in 18 months time another club want him, won't match our fee and he just terminates again?

15 Dec 2025 23:37:25
He will not be a Rangers player. Focus is very high for who we sign and won't just be down to who Danny thinks can do a job. Fingers have been burnt.

16 Dec 2025 02:27:13
Id be looking at that st mirren lcb his range of passing looks good from the back.

15 Dec 2025 10:48:59
Rangers Review article today stating that Rothwell will leave and that Rangers are prioritising a "metronomic" number 6 as they think it will make a massive difference to the side and a wide playmaker who can come centrally similar to what Moore does but also solid out wide.

Also expected to go after a LB and players who have been getting minutes are not expected to leave (Aasgard, Chermiti, Danilo, Gassama, etc). Matondo, Dowell and Rothwell the main ones expected to leave and it's "believed" we're unlikely to go for a CF or CB and that 3 or 4 will come in.

15 Dec 2025 11:14:49
Really hope they reconsider both CH and CF, surely they're the most important.

15 Dec 2025 11:49:55
Also mentions if a wide playmaker comes in then Curtis may leave on loan and none of our loan signings will be terminated early.

15 Dec 2025 11:59:39
Guess Miovski isn't a long term injury, I'd still get another striker as Danilo is a 10 or a second striker and would only work as a false 9 by himself but we don't have goal scoring midfielders or wingers.

We need a CB unless Nsiala will get game time or the 6 will sit in front of the defence or drop into make a 3 similar to how Gio played. We desperately need a CM player who can spot and make a pass or dribble past players as we've lost all creativity with Hagi and Cerny leaving.

15 Dec 2025 12:12:01
We desperately need a new CB at minimum. Arguably a whole new defence but that will take a couple of windows. Agree about wide men, what we have at the moment creates nowt!

15 Dec 2025 12:46:23
So the logic on the CB situation is Souttar is expected back in the next fortnight, Cornelius will be back in the new year as well, Sterling, Tav, Fernandez and Djiga can all play there.

As for the CF position we have 3 and it appears unless interest mounts in one of them then we aren't going to go with 4 strikers. The main issue is chance creation and decision making hence the 6 and wide playmaker being prioritised.

LB is for competition with Meghoma.

15 Dec 2025 12:59:26
I mean what they say and what happens could be 2 totally different things. I'm actually surprised by this as I'd make Raskin or Barron our 6 and get a midfielder that likes a goal in as we lack this massively and don't see either of those 2 adding this to their game.

I agree we need a winger but not a drift inside playmaker as our team needs more goals.

I'd also say that if we get bids for Aasgaard, Gassama then we would sell.

15 Dec 2025 13:14:23
All those positions mentioned would be nice to have but if we don't go and get a decent centre half and even more importantly a decent striker as a priority the second half of the season will be as bad as the first half. Miovski looks as if he has found a bit of form but Danilo is hopeless and Chermiti is worse.

We have four centre backs that can't be trusted and the other with a long term injury so we need experienced cover.
What is a wide playmaker anyway? What we need is an attacking midfielder with a wee bit of devilment in his game like Cantwell showed when he first signed.

15 Dec 2025 13:18:20
It's their opinion thou … they know nothing for certain. We can only hope that it's done early and we're not scraping around as the window closes.

15 Dec 2025 13:32:20
While I agree that we should be looking at a rock solid centre half, it's interesting to note that our goals against column shows we have conceded 13 goals in 15 games, the same as the league leaders and only two more than the scum. That doesn't point towards a leaky defence at SPFL level to me!

15 Dec 2025 13:35:32
BBJ I agree with what you're saying to a degree re Barron and Raskin but it's claimed that Rohl sees them as more of the 8 type and they've been described as "hybrid 6's".

Rohl is looking for a 6 that dictates play and can win his duels whilst protecting the back 4.

L-Mac it is their opinion some of it and I'm sure I read others they say are from sources in the club.

I do think every player has their price in this squad but unless we get silly bids for Gassama, Raskin etc they will all stay and unless we're at least making our money back on the likes of Antman, Aasgaard they will stay as well.

15 Dec 2025 13:40:08
Wsl a wide playmaker is basically a player similar to Mikey Moore. Who starts out wide but drifts in field allowing a wing back to overlap but is technically strong and creative.

So not necessarily your traditional winger that is a great crosser and pacey. It's more about intelligent positioning and creating opportunities to assist and score.

Basically a 10 that plays wider to put it simply.

It's just another way of over-complicating football and probably comes from football manager lol.

15 Dec 2025 14:12:38
I agree we have let in 4 goals since Rohl has been here in 7 games; 4 clean sheets and 5 wins from 7; undefeated. scored 14 also.

so why is it always claimed we have a poor defence and we need new strikers as we don't score. yes our defenders make individual mistakes and our forwards miss chances but that happens everywhere.

15 Dec 2025 14:14:44
The logic on cb and cf is that we currently have 3 strikers that cost us 20m between them, the logic on cb is that we currently have 4, one will be back at the end of december and the other will be back at the end of January. January window is not the window to sell and buy 4 or 5 players each way.

15 Dec 2025 14:53:49
Can someone translate for the layman please?
What in is a metronomic no6?
😂😂😂.

15 Dec 2025 14:56:40
Stevie i believe it is in reference to a No6 who can dictate the play and set the rhythm of the team.

A Rodri type 6.

15 Dec 2025 15:10:03
Yeah Stevie so a metronome is the thing used to keep songs time with the tempo. So basically a metronomic 6 is a tempo setter.

Think as aphelion says a Rodri, xabi Alonso, Busquets, etc type midfielder. In terms of a Rangers comparison its a more defensively accomplished Steven Davis basically.

15 Dec 2025 15:51:23
Metronomic is fancy woke football talk!

I think Steve Davis is an example of this type of player.

15 Dec 2025 16:25:25
Calmac that's the 2 thing we seem to do correctly. business done sharp n snappy just few n far between it's the right business.

15 Dec 2025 16:26:12
Aphe, ayreshire thanks lads…

These people who use these type of words really do just over complicate the game don't they?

15 Dec 2025 16:27:27
6 8 10 11 32 44 my lottery numbers, need info on these numbers feel free to ask me. Generally 6 comes after 5 and just before 7. After eights are mints but you can eat whenever you like at no risk.

15 Dec 2025 16:42:31
Were after the cb from volendam 6,5, perfect partner for Fernandes.

15 Dec 2025 17:04:11
Didn't cost 20million. 8m for Chermiti, 5.5m for Danilo and and 2million for Miovski.

15 Dec 2025 15:48:20
Sorry but our far weakest point is centre back even with souttar n Cornelious back

Djiga ain't good enough n the other we have is prone to injuries.

16 Dec 2025 02:29:50
Easy to say harder to find.

16 Dec 2025 20:30:25
Having players that can play Cb and having players that are good at Cb is two completely different things, suicide if we don't go and get one.
