From what I've read here. My understanding is that we have already signed some players, but pulled the plug on a few others who we had approached when Rohl was manager. Is that right John and others ITK?
18 Jun 2026 16:40:33
Rice signs two year extension with a years option, I'm happy with this moveb.
18 Jun 2026 17:54:01
He could develop into a class player for us. The loan (if it happens) will be the making of him.
18 Jun 2026 17:54:37
Yeh, John, looks like my hometown is very much interested in a loan deal for him.
18 Jun 2026 18:03:03
Excellent news, John, cheers.

Some fans are needing a factory reset of their ambitions for the club / manager.
After years of the club, team and various managers underachieving, some are falling into the trap of lowering expectations.
Willing to accept a poor season from McInnes in the name of stability.
Willing to accept a title that breaks Celtics dominance but not a lot else.
Willing to accept beating Celtic in the league games without actually winning titles.
Willing to give a "Rangers man" time without actually seeing or demanding progress.
And the list goes on.
Well, I'm sorry.
Not for me.
McInnes has signed until 2029.
I'm expecting him to deliver his own legacy as a Rangers manager.
2 out of the next 3 titles. ✅
Domestic cup winner every season. ✅
Reputation re-earned at Europa League level as a minimum. ✅
Developing / giving youth a pathway to the first team. ✅
The above is a bare minimum. Not celebrating stopping Celtic winning 6/78 or 9IAR with no further progress and back to the beginning again.
I want to see Rangers being back to the dominant force in Scotland into the 2030's and beyond.
18 Jun 2026 16:07:17
First and foremost we need to win something. We need stability, though more than anything. New managers every few months is just terrible for the players and the fans. Unless you stumble on a miracle worker who wins the league, you're not building much momentum with 4 managers in 4 years etc. McInnes might not be everyone's cup of tea. "Failed at sheep, failed at Hearts." What did Big Eck ever do before he came to us? Not winning a trophy for Hearts and Aberdeen should never be a stick to beat someone in, especially when we ourselves can't win a trophy.
It might not be pretty. It might not be an overnight success. But, unless he loses his first 5 games in a row, Del has to be given time to build something here.
18 Jun 2026 16:12:04
Everyone wants a successful Rangers, Mph, but the way we go through management is a major reason we go trophies less. We go about McInnes winning a cup with the clubs he's been at, some expecting him winning leagues with Aberdeen or Hearts, that would be some achievement, and if he'd done that he wouldn't be our manager right now, it needs to be remembered we've won three in that time.
Some even put his win rate with St Johnstone, Aberdeen, Kilmarnock and Hearts, mental. Alex McLeish had a worse win rate at Hibs and Motherwell.
18 Jun 2026 16:16:52
Not sure if that's a realistic bare minimum Mph, but it would be nice. I think the team playing good football, good runs in Europe again and 2 leagues out of 3 would do me. The cups as well would be a massive jump up from the last 15 years, so would be a bonus.
In terms of not accepting anything less, what do you plan to do to not accept whatever happens? There is a difference between seeing things as they are and wanting poorer results. Good post though.
18 Jun 2026 16:23:37
Well said, Mr Ph.
18 Jun 2026 16:34:16
Agree Mph. Hearts have shown a serious challenge can be made with a limited budget. Up to Rangers to put in place the personnel and structure to take us forward and back to where we belong.
As a side question to those itk. What happened to Dr. Did he push to leave / encouraged to? Be interested to know what happened.
Thought he would be here for at least a full season with his team etc. and would think turning around a club like Rangers would be good for anyone's CV. I know family back in Germany has been mentioned, but this was known for him, so it is surprising if this is all it's down to.
18 Jun 2026 16:35:38
Going thru managers isn't the major reason we go trophyless. It's appointing the wrong managers in the 1st place and recruiting badly.
18 Jun 2026 16:42:17
Kasier, totally disagree. The reason is none get long enough, all because of impatient fans.
18 Jun 2026 16:48:03
Yet Celtic went through 3 managers last season and still won the league, so what exactly does waiting and giving time do exactly? If a manager is good enough we will know in the first couple of months.
How many of said previous managers over the past 10 years would love to be in the position we are in right now, a board that has spent and will continue to back the manager allowing us a strong team on the park as well as off it.
Quick question though for all these Scottish core guys, you are now happy we have a Scottish manager, a Rangers man and someone who knows the league. My question is, what if he doesn't deliver?
Btw, Mph, bang on with this post, we have lowered standards way too much and fully agree with your take on it.
18 Jun 2026 16:52:30
Good post, Mr PH. About time we started being Rangers again and be looking to win everything we enter.
18 Jun 2026 16:57:22
I'm not sure we are just willing to accept McInnes. I think we genuinely believe he will improve us.
I was fine for Rohl to be given a pre season and another chance but he chose to leave after a mediocre season from him.
Hopefully McInnes brings back the trophies. Pressure will be on him like any other manager we have had to deliver the league.
18 Jun 2026 16:57:32
Bigbluejim, he doesn't deliver, he'll be shown the door like the rest of our managers over the last few years, but some thinking he'll win the league with Aberdeen or Hearts is just silly.
18 Jun 2026 16:58:53
We struggle because the board panics and sacks managers too quickly, which leaves us stuck with a messy, mismatched squad. Whenever we fall behind Celtic, the board feels the pressure from fans and axes the manager, completely changing the team's playing style every time.
Because there is no long-term plan, the club ends up with a bloated dressing room full of expensive players who were signed by previous bosses and don't fit the new guy's system.
By constantly looking for a quick fix on the bench instead of fixing how we recruit players, we just keep repeating the same mistakes over and over.

18 Jun 2026 17:01:13
Also, thinking McInnes has to be an instant success next season is the exact same trap because it expects a new manager to instantly fix deep, long-term club problems. McInnes could be a good appointment who knows the league, but he is still walking into a bloated, mismatched squad left behind by previous bosses.
If the board and the fans demand that he instantly wins the league title in his very first season, they are just setting up another panic-and-sack scenario.
Real success takes time to build a proper squad identity, and if everyone loses patience the second there's a bump in the road, and just fire him, clear the decks. We just start the whole broken cycle all over again.
So, yes, I want success, but unless we give someone time, then we will just continue to fail and never win anything other than the odd trophy.
18 Jun 2026 17:07:33
Success doesn't happen overnight, but we never give any manager time or patience for building a successful squad. Can only hope that revolving door ends with a successful McInnes. I'm looking for progress, and hopefully the league next season, but progress is the main thing for me.
18 Jun 2026 17:14:58
So, we should just be patient with the likes of Martin despite how bad the results are? Shame, Celtic don't agree with you either and sacked Nancy and appointed a proper manager instead.
18 Jun 2026 17:21:09
Nope Kaiser, seen he wasn't going to work, but Clement should have got longer, he was building a squad, or GVB, European final, sc, Champions League the first time of asking, sacked after a year, even when he had a crippled squad.
18 Jun 2026 17:22:34
Kaiser, only because they seen Nancy wasn't working.
18 Jun 2026 17:54:40
Kaiser, that is never what is being said though. I am talking about when we go on a bad patch of results, or if we don't win a league, then we sack the manager. That isn't what successful teams do imo, or evidenced by successful clubs. Look at Arsenal and Arteta as the most recent example of the need to build.
If the club think the manager is on the right track, then keep him and let him build.
Or, if you want to sack when managers don't win the league, then stop giving them any say in recruitment. Buy players for the way the club wants to play, and then hire the manager to fit in. Probably cheaper, but not any more successful.
18 Jun 2026 13:13:36
I wonder now derek mcinnes has been appointed our new manager when we'll hear what friendlies we'll be playing at Ibrox and obviously when we go to austria for our pre season camp 🤔 I wonder if we'll hear a lot of things next week including possibly new signings 🤔🇬🇧
18 Jun 2026 13:57:56
Read somewhere today we're playing West Ham at Ibrox on the 25th/26th July.
18 Jun 2026 14:48:49
Hope we take more games than we did last season, woefully under prepaired last year.
18 Jun 2026 14:50:00
People said last year two or three games was enough, but when you consider how many players the manager will need to look at, and combinations tried, then 2 or 3 definitely not enough.
18 Jun 2026 14:58:18
It's never just 2 or 3 games though, there's always loads of behind closed doors friendlies and inter team games.
18 Jun 2026 15:01:14
Last season, I agree, was diabolical prep wise.
18 Jun 2026 15:02:41
But how many games were played with no fans last summer, Forever?
18 Jun 2026 15:37:17
Actually think it was a sensible move playing games with no fans last summer, look at the booing in the first friendly game at half time when three signings were getting introduced, I've still never seen the likes in my lifetime.
18 Jun 2026 15:38:07
Season starts 2 weeks after World Cup, so going to be difficult to organise many.
18 Jun 2026 16:08:43
Sws, I reckon next week we'll start to hear a lot more info. Players coming in, any more staff changes, and plans for pre season. Looking like a pretty quick turnaround this pre season, so will be interesting to see. I'm honestly excited, more than I was when Rohl was the manager tbh.
18 Jun 2026 12:47:09
So opening game is Friday night away to Dundee United with an 8pm kick off!
First Old Firm away 20th September.
18 Jun 2026 13:57:35
Quite happy with early games, not the easiest but could have been worse, hopefully the away games on Sundays not filling me with dread under McInnes and it's a matter of 3 points and up the road right from start of season.
18 Jun 2026 14:23:08
Looking over the fixtures we'll also have Celtic and Hearts at home after the split. That's if they both make top 6. 😅
18 Jun 2026 14:24:39
Very late in fixtures for 1st Old Firm.
18 Jun 2026 15:28:09
PeterPan, spotted that, hopefully allows us time to get into our rhythm.

From what I'm seeing and hearing the 3 main players in our team who are attracting a lot of real interest are
Miovski
Raskin
Fernandez
What we thinking the price tag on Fernandez would be?
I think minimum would have to be £18m
That's minimum in my opinion?
18 Jun 2026 11:38:23
We need to stop selling our players on the cheap n start looking for top dollar, especially when they've got a couple of years on their contracts. Top league teams have money to burn, so we need to start holding teams to ransom.
18 Jun 2026 11:39:43
I'm sure I read somewhere we are wanting a minimum of 25m for Fernandez, I think. 🤔
18 Jun 2026 11:46:48
Given Manny's age, contract length, Peterborough's sell-on, and the teams apparently interested, you've got to be looking at a Scottish record fee for him. £26m-ish.
18 Jun 2026 11:48:08
£25m for Fernandez, his attributes once honed will be a top level defender bordering on potentially being world class.
He's worth £25m all day.
Miovski £2m, maybe 1.5.
And Raskin is again £25m for me, but maybe need to take £20m with 5 in add ons.
18 Jun 2026 11:51:26
We would need to sell Manny for no less than 25million. Peterborough have a large sell on clause, so would be due a payout.
18 Jun 2026 11:54:46
25M plus add ons and sell on for Manny.
20M plus add ons for Raskin.
30M plus add ons and sell on for Chermiti.
1.5M plus add ons for Miovski.
18 Jun 2026 12:59:36
Regarding Miovski, guys, I honestly think McInnes will want a good look at him in training before any decision is made either way. 🤔 McInnes coming in might just save Miovski's Rangers career, because if Rohl was still here I think Miovski would definitely be away. 🤔 🇬🇧
18 Jun 2026 13:20:40
I think a fair price for Raskin would be 12-15m if he has a brilliant WC, then can see it going to 15-17m.
Manny, I think, would be doing well to get 18-20m but I'd hope he stays for one more season and improves and goes for 25m.
Chermiti is the one I think you will sell for the most.
I could see teams paying between 22-26m just because of the data he has and all his physical attributes. He's going to the top imo. He will play for a big club once he learns how to start burying tap ins.
18 Jun 2026 13:32:11
Wishy, that's probably very accurate numbers.
18 Jun 2026 13:32:45
Might be me, but think some of the prices quoted are a bit wild. Can't see us getting anywhere near that level.
18 Jun 2026 13:37:33
Me2, Chermiti will break the Scottish transfer record.
18 Jun 2026 14:30:53
We got 21m for Bassey after a good 6 months, mainly down to his physical attributes. That's why I think Manny and Chermiti will go for a lot. I think we will be relying on Raskin excelling at the WC to get a big fee for him.
18 Jun 2026 16:15:32
I think a lot of people on here are guilty of continuing to undervalue our players.
18 Jun 2026 16:47:37
Four lads define large sell on, I understand it's 20% on profit.
