Rangers FC Rumours

04 Jan 2026 12:12:03
What ever happened to the chilean defense mid we were linked with at start of the season?

04 Jan 2026 12:31:26
It was Vicente Pizarro and he is still playing for colo-colo in chilean league i think he was a russell martin scout project so prob won't be looked at again.

04 Jan 2026 14:00:47
Can remember we interested in another South American dcm, Garcia but he moved to Saudi, can just remember doing some digging on him.

04 Jan 2026 15:17:30
There's absolutely no way Pizarro was Thelwell scouting. I'd not be surprised to see Pizzarro ending up at Copenhagen.

04 Jan 2026 17:21:45
Pizarro was on one of Koppens list, which likely gets updated regularly, he is very good at what he does and the prices he uncovers raw young talents for, at Genk and PSV he done very well bringing in quiality players that made the clubs a lot of money.

i dare say Copenhagen are in for some new quality young talents once he starts working on new targets from his current book.

04 Jan 2026 11:48:47
Just read on FB that Hull City are apparently interested in taking Dowell. No idea if any truth but fingers crossed.

04 Jan 2026 11:11:56
Now we're done with tim slaying let's get to the serious topic. Any rumours troops or any1 know of any potential deals that are far down the line.

04 Jan 2026 10:47:23
John, EHL or any others in the know r - any new information on players we're interested in?

04 Jan 2026 11:09:15
Well we heard Dahl and 2 others where more less wrapped up. still waiting.

04 Jan 2026 11:32:38
Jens Hjerto Dahl and James Penrice are the two I've heard that we are 100% after this window. In spite of what media are saying, I'm told the Penrice move is still close.

Players such as Tuur Rommens, Dan Neil, Henrik Falchener and Justin De Haas are being monitored for summer moves.

04 Jan 2026 11:40:14
No. I'll be at the training centre tomorrow though - so hopefully I can catch some gossip.

04 Jan 2026 11:56:21
@EHL2020 Throw Sima's name in while you are there. 😉.

04 Jan 2026 12:51:22
EHL if you could recommend 3 players to the club, who would they be?

04 Jan 2026 13:15:58
EHL - Say hello to Roxy from me.

04 Jan 2026 13:33:29
I've never thought we'd get Dahl. No even convinced of genuine interest in him. Penrice is a solid LB I'd happily sign long term if the fee is reportedly £2 million. Like the summer thou when most were signed with very little knowledge that will play out again,

04 Jan 2026 13:43:21
Amatos boots - Sima was sold for half his worth of 9 mill euros by Brighton to Lens in the French premiership for 4.5 mill euros.

Dahl is going to cost 7 mill upwards, Eintracht Frankfurt are making moves to sign him and of the 10 teams interested in his signature they are in pole position as it stands.

Penrice i think we can get for 3 to 3.5 mill, AEK need 2 LB's selling Penrice will leave them short and they are in a 3 team title race at the moment so won;t be selling him cheap as he is playing regularly their and they are in top spot in the Greek league.

04 Jan 2026 14:21:41
There's nothing recent online to say Frankfurt are making 'moves' for Dahl.

04 Jan 2026 14:56:25
Good post LH, appreciate the info you bring mate.

04 Jan 2026 15:35:30
Pauly, I'm not overly familiar with many players outside the SPL, so my recommendations would be pretty boring.

Watson - Kilmarnock. Thinks he'd suit our league better than Dio.

Milne - Aberdeen. Still very raw, but has the attributes to develop in to a decent centre back.

Wilson - Hearts. Honestly think he'd be the perfect fit for Rohls system.

04 Jan 2026 17:03:55
Thought windass was signing.

04 Jan 2026 18:35:29
Aye EHL i'd take all 3 👍 especially Watson.

04 Jan 2026 20:02:00
EHL -Need players who are going to improve our starting 11.

04 Jan 2026 10:47:01
So any new news? Or rumours of being close to deals? After the old firm I'm raring to see who we bring in!

04 Jan 2026 11:14:25
Well as you know for definite Rfc one of the first deals happening is Chermiti is going out on loan 🤪.

04 Jan 2026 11:59:38
Lmao sws I hope not.

04 Jan 2026 02:14:29
No big secret but we have made contact with AEK for Penrice. He's a squad player at AWK but AEK looking to recoup as much of the £2m they forked out in summer. We are looking for initial loan with option whereas they are trying to hold out for permanent deal or obligation to buy at least.
Think £2m gets him.

04 Jan 2026 06:47:23
Fifty, the report i read yesterday was that AEK said penrice ain't for sale, even if Rangers double their offer ☹️I hope we do sign james penrice as i've always rated him and thought we should have signed him even when he was at Livingston 🤔By the way Fifty penrice is a regular starter for AEK my friend, far from being a squad player, they rate him 🤔.

04 Jan 2026 07:31:32
He's played 24 matches for them this season, started 10 of the last 12 in the league. Hardly a squad playerb.

04 Jan 2026 08:13:03
Coops I think he would need to want to come home ie homesick if we were to sign him.

04 Jan 2026 10:00:21
What are the chances of us getting a signing
( or 2) in the door this week or even before Tuesday?

04 Jan 2026 10:14:42
outgoings first before in comings imo.

04 Jan 2026 10:17:50
100% Penrice wants to come. Big Rangers fan who would love to wear the colours. His mum and him used to have a season ticket and my son's mate went to many games with James Penrice. Hope we can make it happen as he would be great addition to our squad.

04 Jan 2026 10:50:44
What concerns me here is this……if interested why are we only starting talks now? This should have been ironed out weeks ago and now merely formalities to complete!

We better not be messing around all window!

04 Jan 2026 11:17:24
Gasman one of my mates worked with james penrice's aunty and she's from shotts pal 👍Yes he does want to sign with his boyhood team Rangers, i just hope we can get a deal done with AEK 🙏.

04 Jan 2026 12:24:23
Being a Rangers fan doesn't mean anything imo, Scott Allan was a Rangers and chose Celtic for a extra money and it seems that's all players care about these days.

If Athens don't want to sell and it's going to cost more than his worth then move on, many have said he's being viewed as a 2nd choice for next season so why pay so much when it's more likely he'll be cheaper or easier to get jn the summer. We should have more the 2 targets for a position and if we are interested in Rommens, I'd rather he signs now and has 6 months of bedding in. How long is Cornelis our for?

04 Jan 2026 12:45:04
Gvb a doubt it's 1 in 1 out. Maybe before we were bought over. The way dr has spoken indicates to me that the club is ready to back him. The cash is there and they know they will shift a few if not this window then the summer.

N gdog when was the last time we messed about. Tbf we get our sh#t done early n have for seasons.

04 Jan 2026 12:59:19
I don't think penrice will be our second choice left back, if we are lucky enough to sign him DJB🤔 He'll be our no.1 left back for me 👍🇬🇧.

04 Jan 2026 13:22:19
Penrice has a sweet cross on him. Would certainly creat chances.

04 Jan 2026 13:46:30
AEK may sell iif we offer 3 to 3.5 mill, otherwise i can;t see them selling him as he is needed and playing regularly for them, as they are ina 3 team race for the Greek title and currently in top spot, they have no reason to sell him to us, unless we make an offer they can;t refuse, my guess is 3 mill upwards, having bought him for 2.3 mill Euros and his value currently at 2.5 mill euros and he is a recent signing for them.

04 Jan 2026 15:01:16
LH never knew how he was doing in Greece, if he's doing well of course they want profit, especially if they only have 2 lb's, they'd clearly need to sign another, so I'm guessing you're spot on with around 3m,.
davie he's send over cracking deliveries mate.

04 Jan 2026 21:47:33
He has started 6 of the last 13 games not 12 out of 14 it's not hard to see this info online. It underlines my point that he's a squad player he has failed to play at all in 2 of the last 13 and in another 2 games he got 1 minute in each game not an error literally 1 minute twice!
He is available, wants to come and we will sign him in this window as soon as we can agree terms with the club who we have been negotiating with for a while.


They might not sanction deal until they get his replacement which is a common occurrence in the Jan window more than at any time.

03 Jan 2026 16:56:15
I know someone was saying we had been offered sima is that still the case that we could be bringing back sima.

03 Jan 2026 17:24:17
Really liked Sima was rapid and always found himself in the right position in the box but I think that ship has sailed.

03 Jan 2026 17:41:30
No thanks, not for me.
We need to start looking forward to new players. Bringing back old players is like the guys forever on the treatment table, the longer they are away from the first team, the better everyone seems to remember them being.
Time to move on with a Danny Rohl team.

03 Jan 2026 17:45:28
Sima would be perfect if possible - got 19/2 at HT on us winning - nice 👌.

03 Jan 2026 18:01:07
Seeing highlights today, I again have to ask if Maswanhise of Motherwell is worth signing. His ability to play on the wing and up front, coupled with his blistering pace would give us real options. I don't think he'd break the bank, and for me would add strength and depth to the front line.

03 Jan 2026 18:48:29
I think Maswanhise would be worth a gamble at low cost, done exceptionally well this season.

03 Jan 2026 19:37:10
Maswanhise a definitely yes.

03 Jan 2026 19:46:20
Would take Sima back in a heartbeat, knows what it means, can perform, right age 24 can play across front three. £4-5m is a steal- boy loved playing for us once he got settled and got it.

03 Jan 2026 19:55:23
I agree think he is a low risk high reward target.

03 Jan 2026 20:21:33
Now would be a good time to keep the positivity high among the fans, the club and the playing squad so are we likely to sign anyone before the game with The Sheep?

03 Jan 2026 21:10:35
For a low risk high reward alternative I would pick up the phone and ask Motherwell what they would like for Maswanhise. If they are prepared to be reasonable. I would meet them with a handshake under £3m.

I see more value in that sort of deal. If we do not make a move a club on the continent will in the summer. Motherwell are working their trading model very well in recent seasons. I can only applaud that.

03 Jan 2026 22:44:22
I would really like Maswanhise signed.

04 Jan 2026 00:43:12
Why are we looking back? Sima ship has sailed. look forward bears 💪.

04 Jan 2026 08:54:08
Can I ask anyone who thinks the Sima ship has said why? He's young we only didn't sign him as he had a better offer and started for a better Rangers team than the current one every week scoring plenty goals! Big strong fast hard working what's not to like?

04 Jan 2026 09:34:33
3m for the lad from Motherwell won't get him in my opinion, i would look to use the carrot of champions league money when dealing with Scottish clubs. Perhsps 3m and an additional 1 5m should we get cl within 2 years of signing him if he plays x amount of fixtures/contributions

Just a thought, i'm not sure if rules would bar this kind of deal within the same league as a conflict of interest could arise.

04 Jan 2026 09:42:46
If you look at the state Kieran Tierney is in at Porkheid, then maybe you shouldn't return? Tierney isn't half the player he was and can't play 70 minutes 🙃.

04 Jan 2026 10:18:13
Konter Motherwell has an option on another year, why I think 3m would get him mate, probably less than 3m.

04 Jan 2026 11:24:09
As much i wish we had signed Sima, that ship literally sailed to France 4 months ago in a bargain deal as Brighton sold him to Oscar Cortes's old club, Lens for 4.5 mill euros ( while he was worth 9 mill euros) roughly the same money we paid for Cortes 4 mill euros.

imagine Sima on the LW and Chermiti on the RW both big strong lads with pace that are not shy of a goal or 2 and a handful for any full back or defender to take on.

could even pair them up as a front 2, powerful pairing.

04 Jan 2026 12:03:59
Our recruitment over the last few years has been dire!

04 Jan 2026 12:16:55
3 million is too much for Motherwell lad compare to boy penrice who was Hearts player of the year and they got 2 million he didn't do anything of not last season and like most of mother well players are only doing it under this manager if he was brilliant year before as well then fair

For me i'd offer 1.5m and if we need to push any further then it would be again based on appearances for Rangers or sell on fee.

04 Jan 2026 12:18:44
Would love to take sima back as still young injuries concern me a little but he usually bounces back

Aribo i'd be a bit more concerned if we would be getting the same driven player after his prem dream over might not be as motivated.

03 Jan 2026 09:06:12
DR say we have no interest in Bohinen the midfielder playing in italy.

03 Jan 2026 09:38:34
Think someone on here said the same thing last night.

03 Jan 2026 10:56:41
Thank goodness his stats are terrible!

03 Jan 2026 15:29:40
Onewalter is that Rohl or daily record.

03 Jan 2026 15:56:40
John I never ever thought about the daily record, I had it down for Danny Rohl.

03 Jan 2026 18:51:07
My sky Daily Record is regularly referrred to as DR on this site.

03 Jan 2026 22:16:33
I just thought it was Danny Rohl John.

03 Jan 2026 22:45:31
Reason i can't be arsed with initials mate.

03 Jan 2026 23:39:11
Daily record guys.

04 Jan 2026 00:46:51
FFS guys DR or daily record what just take it meant in context. really sad after a good win.

04 Jan 2026 01:58:58
What is sad about not liking initials Trevor? I probably enjoy it a tad much tonight, nothing beats wins at the piggery.

04 Jan 2026 02:00:31
Found out earlier tonight Mikey Moore partners auldman is Warren Feeney.

04 Jan 2026 09:39:47
Trevor a bery legitimate question, carries much more valid it's the manager.

03 Jan 2026 01:12:34
Reported an hour ago that Rangers have had a bid for James Penrice rejected.

03 Jan 2026 07:50:56
Here comes us going to pay too much again.

03 Jan 2026 08:52:43
The first bid is almost always rejected. He'll be here.

03 Jan 2026 09:09:01
John, Asa, EHL - what's your opinions on Penrice? I'm simply asking as I don't know much about the lad at all.

03 Jan 2026 09:43:00
Did he not cost £2m?

03 Jan 2026 10:19:31
Baxter he is a seasoned honest professional, will be a good squad player but we need to sign a first choice in summer.

Tuur Rommens appears to be the clubs target.

03 Jan 2026 10:19:32
Good player is Penrice. Solid LB with a great delivery 🫡.

03 Jan 2026 10:24:53
I'd imagine AEK Athens will be wanting at least their £2million back, that they paid Hearts to sign james penrice 🤔The good news imo it doesn't seem to be a loan deal regarding trying to sign penrice and looks like a permanent deal we're wanting regarding signing penrice, which tbh i prefer 👍🇬🇧 I honestly hope we sign him and think we will 🙏.

03 Jan 2026 10:36:55
So if he were to sign for Rangers, then he wouldn't be 1st choice ?

03 Jan 2026 10:50:10
He may well fight to be picked ahead of Meghoma for the last 6 months but the club will be looking for a first choice left back in the summer.

03 Jan 2026 10:52:22
If he signs he's likely going to be 2nd choice but he'll have every opportunity to make himself first choice like every other player.

03 Jan 2026 10:55:26
Penrice for me is good enough to be first choice LB. We've not really had anyone of real quality since Barisic and Bassey and he knows our game.

03 Jan 2026 11:03:49
Meghoma we should be going all in for, saying that maybe they don't want to sell him, Meghoma and Penrice would be perfect.

03 Jan 2026 11:18:06
2.3 Mill Euros he cost AEK - who are currently top of the Greek league with PAOK and Olympiacos breathing down their necks,
they only have 2 LBs in their 1st team squad with Penrice their 1st choice LB, just signed roughly 6 months ago.

perhaps they want around 3 to 3.5 mill euros for it to be worth their while.

We could get the young lad from Belgium Tuur Rommens for around 1.5 to 2 mill if we want him now or wait another 6 months and sign him on a pre.

Maybe that's the plan get Penrice now and once Meghoma's gone back to the EPL, Rommens arrives on a free?

03 Jan 2026 11:30:00
says in most of the press it is a loan we are looking at. that seems sensible as he knows the league and can provide that stop gap cover for left back until we get our longer term signings in summer.

03 Jan 2026 11:35:06
Forever what are you on about do you expect clubs just accept our first bid?

03 Jan 2026 11:38:55
Baxterboy, if we sign james penrice on a permanent deal then i have absolutely no doubt he will be first choice left back from next season onwards and probably even once he settles back in to being back in the Scottish league 🤔.

03 Jan 2026 11:59:17
If we sign Penrice, and I hope we do, I would imagine he's being signed as our 1st choice LB.

Personally I think he's more than good enough to be our main LB for next 3-4 years, which is the kind of stability we need.

03 Jan 2026 12:02:46
Penrice isn't AEK's first choice left back. Him and family have struggled since moving to Greece.

03 Jan 2026 12:05:53
Rommens contract expires June 2027. We'd be waiting a lot more than 6 months to sign him on a pre contract.

03 Jan 2026 12:13:51
Sws I really like Penrice but better with be signed mate, outstanding back up, we should be all over Meghoma if possible.

03 Jan 2026 12:16:28
I've just read an article that even if Rangers double their offer for james penrice, AEK Athens have absolutely no interest in selling him ☹️We may have to leave this one to the summer ☹️.

03 Jan 2026 12:25:30
Baxter boy does nothing for me.

03 Jan 2026 16:27:08
Absolutely EHL 👍james penrice absolutely more than good enough to be our no.1 left back 👌🇬🇧.

03 Jan 2026 16:45:14
Meghoma is a liability. Sorry don't see the player some rave about. Light weight, lacks awareness. Offers very little.

03 Jan 2026 17:16:32
Broste is only 19 and improving all the time, can't see his club letting him go either.

03 Jan 2026 17:56:12
Nbtoste, sorry but I don't see him as a liability. Very young but seems to be getting better under Rohl.

03 Jan 2026 18:06:58
Not for me. Doesn't matter age / what he'll become … we need a reliable option at LB and he is is not the answer. A bit like ridvan winkle unable to defend the back post.

04 Jan 2026 06:55:22
Meghoma absolutely not a liability for me as i like this young left back 🤔I think he'll go on continually improve and carve out a very good football career for himself 👍.

04 Jan 2026 11:28:18
I would play Nsiala as LB over Meghoma, more defensive awareness, left footed and a superb passer of the ball, much stronger and faster than Meghoma, and another big lad in the box for set pieces along with Fernandez, Souttar, Chermiti, would be a handful for oppostion defences to deal with.

But i would also bring Cortes and Cifuentes back, but that's just me.

04 Jan 2026 12:14:13
Glad of that tbh hope they put the blockers up. We need better in most positions and he's no better than Meghoma imo.

04 Jan 2026 12:22:15
My point is its reported that he is homesick and they have an unhappy player on thisr hands ao it not like he's a big success for them only rangera seem to pay way more than club paid when not successful just like cortes he failed in france and we paid more than we should have.

And similar but in reverse with cantwell we got him with 6months left on deal but paid nearly 1.5million he was under contract for longer with us and plated well but somehow we sell him for way less why because he was unhappy.

Dont know how you can't see the point i'm trying to make storm

Look if you really want him max i'd be offering them is their money back.
