Rangers FC Rumours

30 Oct 2025 13:03:24
Hopefully a former player announced on the coaching staff prior to Sunday as a pre-game confidence boost.

30 Oct 2025 14:43:59
Remember Ian Mcoll, great football brain Ian had, as does wee Billy, but, my choice would be Billy Reid, or Barry or Doddsy,

30 Oct 2025 14:59:56
Would like Neil McCann.

30 Oct 2025 15:16:36
Like McCall as well Tom, as you said, clued right up on the game, did believe he'd have moved onto bigger job, can remember being at the Hearts game with crunchie when his Falkirk team ran over the top of them in the first half an hour.

30 Oct 2025 15:30:22
My choices would be Peter Løvenkrands, Lee Wallace or Steven Davis.

30 Oct 2025 16:13:18
If there is a shortlist, surely it's based on the level of experience so Davis, Dodds, and McCann must be under consideration.
Wallace and Lovenkrands?

30 Oct 2025 18:00:49
I would want someone who is a decent coach with good experience, a very good knowledge of current teams and players in the SPL and all the grounds. If he happens to be ex Ranges that's great but prefer knowledge of the SPL above that. Neil McCann would be my 1st choice.

30 Oct 2025 18:13:23
ASA, why Lovenkrands? Has he done any coaching at a respectable level?

30 Oct 2025 18:44:21
Billy Reid isn't an ex Rangers player.

30 Oct 2025 19:03:51
Rhys McCabe has been spoken to.

30 Oct 2025 19:14:55
Yes he was a coach at Rangers before moving on to become a manager.

30 Oct 2025 20:28:21
Bornabear, Rhys McCabe hasn't been spoken to that's what i've been told and we know his dad Kevin mate 🤔.

30 Oct 2025 20:53:39
Duncan Ferguson.

30 Oct 2025 21:33:24
Was it his dad that told you that coops? As that's now 2 people on here that have said he has?

31 Oct 2025 00:03:27
Bert Konterman.

31 Oct 2025 05:31:59
It was a close family member storm 👍.

31 Oct 2025 05:33:11
Storm, we never know and nothing can surprise you in football so maybe the close family member is playing it down 🤔.

31 Oct 2025 09:00:33
I'm sure the family will tell everyone they meet in the street.

31 Oct 2025 10:38:57
I've never hidden my preference for Neil McCann being given the role, but Steven Davis would be a good shout. He'd never take it but I would welcome Barry Ferguson in the role as well.

31 Oct 2025 10:57:23
Yip Big Duncan would go to top of my preference if possible.

31 Oct 2025 13:03:48
Don't see what Duncan Ferguson has ever done as a player or a coach to merit a coaching job at Ibrox. He wasn't much of a player for us and apart from his spell as assistant at Everton his coaching roles have all ended in failure. You couldn't even say that he knows the Scottish game that well as he spent most of his career in England.

If we want a character to shout at the players and tell funny stories then he is your man but if not there are lots of better candidates out there.

31 Oct 2025 13:19:01
Remember wsl, carlos ancelotti wanted to take big Duncan Ferguson to Real Madrid with him, when he got the manager's job 🤔.

31 Oct 2025 17:17:41
I've got nothing against Ferguson but really don't understand people wanting him as a coach. Really don't see anything to suggest he'd be a personality that would fit in Rohl's set up and seen nothing to suggest he is a good enough coach.

For me its got to be an ex player who can learn from Rohl and take over after a number of successful years and he gets headhunted.

31 Oct 2025 19:10:59
Did he really Sir Walter or as it just paper talk? Why did he not go to Madrid? Does he not shout expletives in Spanish?

29 Oct 2025 18:37:12
Anything on Davis being the assistant? Seen a page say he was heavily rumoured to be the one.

29 Oct 2025 22:23:00
I've never seen anything myself speirs, regarding steven davis getting the nod to be part of Danny Rohl's backroom but personally i would love davo back 🙏.

29 Oct 2025 14:39:41
Talking to an agent today, he says the big boys are after igamane, Man City real psg

He believes we have a tidy sell on clause with a couple nice addons.

29 Oct 2025 14:43:45
Fingers crossed John.

29 Oct 2025 14:44:27
Good luck to the lad, hope he gets a huge transfer fee with a chunk heading our way.

29 Oct 2025 14:54:18
I hope this is the case John but at the time it was said there were no further sell ons with the release clause being met. Couldn't find any confirmation on this.

29 Oct 2025 14:57:08
Would be nice - guessing at least 15-20% due to transfer fee being lower - well hope so anyway.

29 Oct 2025 15:15:48
Not surprised by this. Always thought he'd go to the top. For anyone wondering, he can sign for a club in January but he can't play for them until next season. Only allowed to play for a maximum of two clubs in a season. He could sign for a team and be loaned straight back to Lille to finish the season.

29 Oct 2025 15:17:01
Good news!

Koppen did well with there.

29 Oct 2025 15:25:58
Sounds good John.

29 Oct 2025 15:28:18
A special talent John, capable of playing for anyone, very soon.

29 Oct 2025 15:28:24
Good on him. Luckily steptoe and son will have a conveyor belt of talent coming shorty.

29 Oct 2025 15:37:53
I went and read his stats

7 games total 193 minutes, 4 goals 1 assist a goal every 48 minutes
Europe total 185 minutes, in three games 3 goals, a goal every 62 minutes

Morocco 2 goals in qualifying


Add his Rangers stats appeared in 46 games scored 16: 3 assists total minutes 2650 so a goal every 165 minutes

Imo this suggests he is improving, we could argue he was getting played out of position, and also went 12 games without a goal.

Yes he wanted away but we were lucky to have him.

29 Oct 2025 15:51:58
Could be a good return if his price is driven up due to increased interest from the big clubs, cheers John👍.

29 Oct 2025 15:56:21
Typical!

29 Oct 2025 16:18:06
Hope so John. I'm sure It was Koppen and Clement behind the good work with Igamane. They are now gone, not sure Thelwell will be finding us the next Igamane. Here's hoping Rohl has some good contacts.

29 Oct 2025 16:20:22
I know what u r saying, however my information and the agent I spoke to say this is not the case

The fact is because a player has a realise fee it does not mean a contract cannot have addons and sell on

I know this as a fact from personal experience

Ally rumour is 20%.

29 Oct 2025 16:22:03
Chas I, correct I suspect clubs and Lille will want to see how he does at World Cup.

29 Oct 2025 16:26:16
Very good natural talent.

I have never been shy about doubting his application and honestly thought there was a good chance of being Morelos 2.0.

Maybe it is just Rangers that are the problem I'm terms of player discipline.

He seems to have knuckled down and I wish the boy the very best in his career.

29 Oct 2025 16:27:58
Fork I really believe his next move could be in 40-50 million euros.

29 Oct 2025 16:39:08
Would be nice John👍👍.

29 Oct 2025 16:50:40
Thanks for sharing info John, sounds very promising. The boy is a talent, no doubt.

29 Oct 2025 16:59:10
Rostosto, its alleged he came from koppen book of treasures.

29 Oct 2025 17:08:27
Thanks John 🫡.

29 Oct 2025 17:13:11
I would imagine once the release clause was negotiated Rangers would of made sure a % sell on was in it too. So maybe 20% sell on was included in the 10.8m release clause.

29 Oct 2025 17:21:04
Hopefully an epl club, money to burn, bring it on.

29 Oct 2025 17:39:54
Agree Asa I thought he could be another Alf, returning overweight, late, refusing to play.
However I wish him well and really hope he makes us more money.

29 Oct 2025 18:14:13
I assume sell on is on profit on fee paid but at that type of potential fee that's a fair old top up which we will def need.

Shame Koppen isn't here to bring in the next Iga or 2.

29 Oct 2025 18:16:34
Always said he'd go right to the top. The raw ability was just ripping out him. Always thought he should have been our no1 striker, many disagreed on here. Good info john 👍.

29 Oct 2025 18:19:49
Thanks John again for info and clarification, really hope you're right. Just wish we'd handled him properly and it was us looking at massive fee.

29 Oct 2025 18:28:12
Thanks John 20% would possibly give us more than our transfer fee if the big boys are in for him.

29 Oct 2025 18:30:23
John, hunt that little book down. 🤣.

29 Oct 2025 19:20:44
I always ask the question did this lad want away or was he forced out the door. Under liewell and Martin i can only think the latter as there was never any mentions off a release clause till these charlatans came to our club.

we never got to here this lads side of things only that he said he had an injury and refused to play by Rm.
This boy was a special player and will go on to play for one off Europe's best teams.

29 Oct 2025 20:13:04
Igamane was a great player, it was clear he had to go to fulfill his potential as he wasn't going to do that in Scottish weather.

Sunnier climate, sunnier results.

The only piece of transfer business the board can be applauded on.

29 Oct 2025 20:37:57
Gassa igamane in an interview in June said he wanted to play in France. He was clear he wanted to move.

29 Oct 2025 22:32:55
Gazza he wanted away it was clearly obvious.

29 Oct 2025 22:35:06
He has such a talent John, we allowed Martin to stifle that, one more season could have made a huge difference to our club both financially and in terms of prestige, he would definitely have been a serious weapon, Martin truly is a clown and I'm almost ashamed to admit that I was happy when he came.

30 Oct 2025 05:01:40
Absolutely guys hamza igamane will make us very good money on his next move and has every tool in his locker to reach the top and play at the very top level 👌John, what percentage was the sell on clause we have on him, in our agreement when we sold him to lille 🤔.

30 Oct 2025 08:55:14
Walter it's rumours but anything around 20 seems to be the favoured, this is on anything above 12 million euros.

30 Oct 2025 12:22:56
After his initial spell, I thought more and more that this boy has the talent to be a big star and hope that he does.
I don't know the background to him leaving but I get the feeling if Clement and Koppen had still been around we would have got another year from him before selling for bigger money.

Hope too, that the 20% sell on is correct although even that may not come close to what he's worth.

30 Oct 2025 13:20:01
I regularly check up on LOSCs results to see if Igmane scored again, his 3 recent goals were crackers, his value was 7mill when he was sold to Lille and has already increased another 5 mill to 12 mill, stand by my prediction Hamza will be in the 30 to 40 mill range by the end of the french season and he is till only 22, a far more complete player than morelos, yes letting Koppen go was a huge mistake especially as the club want raw talented youngsters at cheap prices to benefit from and sell on at profit, Koppens record in both the dutch league and the Belgian league speaks for itself, no suprise the clubs he was at in each respective league were winning regularly while he was bringin in the raw talent on the cheap and are still profiting now from his picks, the Morrocan coach we brought to Ibrox not long after siging Iagmane was the guy that turned Hamza from a low scoring youth into a rising star in morrocan football hence his signing to help with Hamzas continued development, prior to that pairing, Hamza was pretty mediocre in his first few season in morocco scoring very rarely.
can see him at a top club within the next 12 months and his value sky rocketing once which ever big club go in with the silly money on him.

i believe he will be in the 80 to 100 mill range by age 25, but we will not see a percentage of that profit.
we sold him far too cheap, and got well ripped, buying Chermiti with the money, we could have got a lot more, if we had played him earlier instead of letting him sit in the reserves for months and of course rarely playing him in his best position as a CF, but as a winger mainly, he would have hit double what he did if we played him straight away and as a CF, allowing him to be sold for around 20 - 25 mill, instead we got half that because we never learn, just like we had Bassey sitting around as backup to Borna for ages, and not as a CB, clubs have spent 50 mill on big Calvin and his value just moved up to 30 mill at Fulham in the EPL, see we could have a champions league quality side that would dominate the SPFL league and take trebles every season, but instead we sell any quality talent 1st chance we get and wonder why half decent Celtic sides beat us to the finish season after season while Celtic get closer and closer to bypassing our trophy haul records, easy to see why we are lagging now and have been for years, spending the talented player profits on dud after dud, in some cases wasting a lot more than we got and getting nowhere near the quality in return, while other clubs benefit from the players talent and make the big money from the resales.
we want success but sell every quality player that could help us have it.
Self inflicted though, until that changes, the trophy haul won't increase dramatically like it could have.

30 Oct 2025 15:38:01
He'll end up at PSG next, they always get talent from rivals before they hurt them in the long run like Doue (also play youth) and very much fits PSGs front line being mobility and roaming. He'd be stupid to chose City unless Pep moves back to having a 10 second striker and he'll get nowhere with Real.

If firmly believe he'd still be here if Clement was in charge still as he's credited him with his development or even if Rohl was in from the beginning. Ferguson and Martin didn't like him roaming about and doing his own thing which would of impeded his development, impact for the team and value. He's not an out and out striker, better with a strike partner or runners around him like Danilo, just watch how he is for Lille and he's learning under a very underrated Giroud (also a Arsenal fan).

30 Oct 2025 16:20:17
Extremely talented footballer and sure he will end up playing at an elite club sooner rather than later if his application is 100%.
Unfortunately at Rangers he was always played out wide, and not in the No9 position as Dessers was the preferred option.

30 Oct 2025 17:44:46
Regardless of positive spin promoted by some great posters on here it was a major error of judgement to let him leave. All down to Martin I'm afraid and his arrogance and poor management skills. From the start he sidelined the boy and made it clear he was not in his plans. Ofcourse the boy did wrong when he claimed to not fit enough to come on against St Mirren but by that time it was clear Martin's coat was on the way out and throwing the boy under the bus only made that clearer. Suggesting now that an additional say £5m will be earned when we could have earned the the full £40m at the end of the season and saved on £8m on a project player is a very weak argument.




On.

30 Oct 2025 22:07:30
Copland his application is spot on, he will.

29 Oct 2025 12:01:45
Any truth in trialist rumours?
Michael Antonio is a name I've heard.

29 Oct 2025 12:43:00
That name was part of a WhatsApp last week, so highly likely nonsense imo.

29 Oct 2025 13:05:36
Not heard that but a big physical front man would be a welcome addition up top especially if start using 2 strikers more regularly.

29 Oct 2025 13:22:18
One of three names being floated, not been seen at our training centre nor have the other two.

29 Oct 2025 13:41:15
Any idea of the other names being floated John.

29 Oct 2025 13:47:34
Genoa lb, Martin, John have you heard of any ooc players getting lined up?

29 Oct 2025 14:31:22
Fifty he is still recovering from his accident,

29 Oct 2025 14:41:21
My star definitely not, it's reckoned they would struggle to play this year, very susceptible to muscle injuries.

29 Oct 2025 14:57:15
Think this would be a big risk. He'd still be miles away from being fit enough, from injury and from match fitness. Doubt he'd be ready before window so little point.

29 Oct 2025 15:24:45
Should never have got rid of Koppen he had eye for good young talents.

29 Oct 2025 15:29:32
John reports saying he returned playing at an international game in June and is training with the reserves to build up his fitness.

29 Oct 2025 16:03:51
Sergio Reguillon was mentioned in the last couple of days, however he's been linked with Inter Miami in the last couple of weeks.

29 Oct 2025 16:05:52
Sergio Reguilon has been mentioned however he was linked with Miami recently too.

29 Oct 2025 16:30:14
Cool Jfm, u know as well as I trading with reserves different from playing at Easter rd, tynecasle, pittodrie

I see these as simply clickbait.

29 Oct 2025 17:13:09
I didn't even know about his accident John that's why I had a look. Seems he played in June for his country.

29 Oct 2025 22:04:36
He's 35 and coming back from a literal car crash where in his words his leg shattered he is by and he played 5 mins for Jamaica.

27 Oct 2025 19:32:33
Steven Davis or Neil McCann in line to be the ex Rangers player added to Rohl's backroom team, would be happy with either.

27 Oct 2025 22:02:49
McCann, would be my preference at the moment, got way more coaching experience than Davis, in a few years when Davis has had a good grounding in coaching, I'm sure Rangers will welcome him back in to the fold.

27 Oct 2025 22:15:32
Id take both davis has a great way about him I loved him in a Rangers strip and mccann will always be my favourite after that day at parkhead it was one of the best days of my Rangers supporting life.

28 Oct 2025 06:26:54
Davis for me.
Mcann already got his turn as assistant manager under Ferguson.
Davis deserves his chance now under Rohl.

Both great players for Rangers in their respective eras.

28 Oct 2025 07:49:20
Laudruphagi what has Davis done in coaching to deserve a coaching role at Rangers.

28 Oct 2025 07:53:21
Think both would be suitable tbh.

28 Oct 2025 10:10:29
Ajd, I'd prefer Davis as well, Rohl has his trusted men already in.

28 Oct 2025 10:23:02
Steve Davis has been involved with Northern Ireland since he retired Ajd, won't be far away from getting his coaches badges either, said yesterday McCann will be more qualified but does that make him the best man? not in my opinion yours is clearly different.

28 Oct 2025 11:11:18
Lot more names being looked at than the two mention by on line.

28 Oct 2025 12:15:16
My star in my opinion neither of them have done anything in coaching to be involved to get a job coaching for Rangers should involved a lot more than having played for Rangers.

28 Oct 2025 12:27:16
AJD the same as McCann, nothing! If McCann is that good a coach why hasn't he coached since 2021 bar 3 months last season? He's on the TV more talking a good game. The same old names always linked.

28 Oct 2025 13:18:53
Ajd, Rohl has his men in though, I feel Davis would be better than McCann.

28 Oct 2025 14:17:12
Id probably go with Davis if its between the 2. More thinking for future planning that he could potentially be the next manager if he performs well in the role. he's a natural leader.

28 Oct 2025 14:24:59
Im not arguing for mccann either the same argument I'm using against Davis is my same argument against mccann playing for Rangers should not automatically get you a coaching role at Rangers coaching roles at Rangers should go to those who have a proven track record at coaching no matter where they played even if that person played for them along the road.

28 Oct 2025 15:14:19
Huey that's my thinking mate.

28 Oct 2025 16:31:49
Davis doing well right now and the NI side looking in good shape.

28 Oct 2025 17:14:17
David, because McCann already had his shot, wit.

28 Oct 2025 18:51:43
Good to see u posting tt.

28 Oct 2025 19:01:19
I noticed Smith was in the dugout with Rohl at the weekend - would be good to see him get promoted to the first team.

28 Oct 2025 20:57:56
The way we defend maybe it should be Gough and Butcher.

28 Oct 2025 22:18:36
Our defending will be far better under a good structure.

29 Oct 2025 00:10:49
Smith comes acrosss like a great coach. Really impressed with his character:

29 Oct 2025 06:02:29
Id prefer mccann but think with the southampton link could be davis and possible he could step straight into job after Rohl moves on.

29 Oct 2025 08:02:31
Both would be good in some capacity we need that ex player with a weath of experience and knows what we are all about, knows draws ain't good enough, n knows what it takes to win here domestically
Both have a wealth of experience n would be great in passing this over.

29 Oct 2025 10:10:56
Forever why I'd choose Davis, wasn't the plan for our next manager too come from within.

29 Oct 2025 10:17:40
Thanks John,

I would be very happy with Davis, but especially with Billy Reid myself.

29 Oct 2025 12:25:51
Tom would love Reid mate.

29 Oct 2025 13:08:49
Good point Billy Reid should be head of youth Academy IMO, promote Steve Smith to a coach in 1st team and take Kevin Thomson or Neil McCann as assistant for me.

29 Oct 2025 13:25:27
Billy will probably go with Potters next position but isn't Billy still employed by West Ham?

27 Oct 2025 18:24:49
EHL wee question, you alluded that Barron was interested in a move too Italy, was this one of the moves that collapsed before the window was shut and wasn't there a few others that were close but not finalised.
Just thinking ahead to January and if Rohl able to make a wee stamp on the squad.

27 Oct 2025 18:59:52
Yeah, there was interest, but I think it was too late in the window for it to be progressed.

Will be interesting to see how Rohl uses the squad and which players get minutes ahead of January.

27 Oct 2025 19:43:03
I believe there was a last minute chance of a loan to Bologna in August.

27 Oct 2025 21:42:08
Looking at it Rohl will use most of the squad I think we will see 3-5 subs each game plus rotations.

27 Oct 2025 22:06:19
RFC22 - I laughed at his post match presser when he said he said he's not scared to make changes and make the quickly, then casually said he's made 4 changes at half time before.

Imagine being in the changing room at half time when that happens.

28 Oct 2025 06:38:28
Danny will use multiple formations, adapting the teams strengths to go for the win, nice to see a manager who isn't scared to try different formations and tactics,
Past managers have stuck with 1 or 2 formations.

28 Oct 2025 12:23:47
I don't see any reason to let Barron leave and definitely not on loan, we bemoan missing out on young Scottish talent, well this one we did get and we should be developing him. There is no way he should have been playing second fiddle to Rothwell this season.

28 Oct 2025 13:07:07
Wsl because he was told he was not in the managers thoughts same as Nsiala dessers Bajrami Davies Matondo Danilo.

28 Oct 2025 18:24:41
Yet he started as captain in the first pre season friendly. Did he not start and star in the first OF game as well. Thank god he didn't go and we got rid of Martin before he shoved him out the door. Just confirms again the muddled thinking of that imposter.

29 Oct 2025 06:05:05
Its a good message to send if your not on it right away subs will be quick no messing around keep players on thier toes and gives squad players a eeason to be optimistic as they know they will get a chance.

29 Oct 2025 13:51:58
Forgot we had Matondo. Is he still not fit or is he just out the loop.

29 Oct 2025 16:39:40
Peter back trying on the grass.
