Rangers FC Rumours

30 Jul 2026 10:33:37
Bajrami at Glasgow airport yesterday evening. Anyone heard anything on this?

30 Jul 2026 11:13:56
Seems like he'll be off to Italy mate.

30 Jul 2026 11:19:43
Apparently looking like getting decent money for him too.

30 Jul 2026 11:23:20
This is just speculation on my part, but it is a rumours site. Bajrami has had strong links to returning to Italy, particularly with his Serie A experience. If he was at Glasgow Airport last night, the only flight out to Italy was to Rome, around 8pm. Recently promoted Frosinone, not too far from Rome, are looking to strengthen up front with attacking midfielders and on the wings.

They seem to target established players at their peak age, and like a bargain. Maybe wages could be an issue. Bajrami would be a profile that could be a good fit, as they are looking to tool up in the forward area for their Serie A season.

Again, this is speculation on my part, but thought it would be worth adding to the thread if Bajrami was indeed at Glasgow Airport last night.

30 Jul 2026 11:44:25
Empoli, Pisa, and Sassuolo could get a good shout. Went with Frosinone, given its proximity to Rome.

30 Jul 2026 11:44:45
Al Taawoun in Saudi.

30 Jul 2026 11:52:35
Just seen that one pop up, WhatsTheStory. Would be an interesting move for him. I'm still favouring Italy.

30 Jul 2026 11:53:52
Saudi club in for Bajrami.

30 Jul 2026 12:03:04
I'd settle for anywhere to get him off the books. Feels like Rangers have got the big janny brush out and are sweeping out the unwanted this week.

30 Jul 2026 12:04:40
That's some research, Laudrup watp.

30 Jul 2026 12:15:02
Hearing Bajrami going to Saudi Arabian club. 🤔

30 Jul 2026 12:26:49
Cheers Hagi9. It's one theory anyway.

The Saudi links are getting stronger, Sir Walter. Let's hope, wherever he goes, it gets done quickly. Few more out the door and focus on the quality signings needed to win the league.

30 Jul 2026 12:27:45
Anyone know the fee to Saudi.

30 Jul 2026 12:36:30
Think Saudi is potentially a loan, Stevie. Read somewhere £2.5m - £3m if a sale in Italy.

30 Jul 2026 13:01:34
Saw that too, Laudrop. £2.5 back for him would be good business, better than losing him for nothing.

30 Jul 2026 13:11:42
Don't care where he goes, as long as he goes. On a big wage (£16-20k a week) for someone who is not in and around the starting 11.

30 Jul 2026 13:48:39
Just seen that, mate. £2.5m loan first, dunno if would be obligation or option.

30 Jul 2026 14:03:05
Stevie, wanting to sell, Bajrami.

30 Jul 2026 14:46:54
Well, there's no excuse for always loaning players out anymore, as we're not as skint that we need to bite the first hand that offers.

I'd guess these fees Rw in euros, as it's a buying euro club, and believe Saudi clubs fees work in euros when reported too.

So EUR2.5m will do for him.

30 Jul 2026 14:50:57
Get him sold, even at 3 mill we still losing out.
But better than nothing or paying his wages another season.

30 Jul 2026 15:10:52
If we get money for Bajrami, I shall buy a hat and eat said hat. It'll be the usual. Loan with option. We may as well make the option a trillion pounds or even a bath full of baked beans. As with all our loans with options, it won't be taken up.

30 Jul 2026 15:14:11
Mukhanya official.

30 Jul 2026 09:04:22
Markelo is a genuine star in the making. Was really superb for Zurich, lucky enough to see him play twice and has real pace and skill. Was being watched by many teams in Europe, I did think the Coventry move was strange however. If we get him prepare to be entertained.

30 Jul 2026 09:34:07
Hope so, mate, I've absolutely no idea who he is other than YouTube so. 🤞🏼

30 Jul 2026 09:35:35
Hard time believing anything u say with that name, sorry, it's just me, don't get it.

30 Jul 2026 09:42:36
Could be one of our loyal Indian fans, Fork.

Maj Orhun

30 Jul 2026 09:51:17
Maybe a bit of a Taj, but not Mahal, Big D. 👍 😇

30 Jul 2026 10:03:16
Fair enough guys. That's been my nickname since the early 80's, since most folk in my school were all Aberdeen fans. Came across this page when looking for info on new signings, news now is just paper talk, and some on follow follow, but better on here.

30 Jul 2026 09:47:13
Change your name

30 Jul 2026 10:28:07
No, keep your name, mate!. 😂

30 Jul 2026 10:29:54
Man, it's a tough school here. Welcome, Major. Time will tell.

30 Jul 2026 10:42:55
Welcome, Major.

30 Jul 2026 10:43:01
I thought he was leading the Mongolian invasion?

30 Jul 2026 10:44:54
Brilliant fork. Sounds plausible, actually, that the mans Aberdindian!

30 Jul 2026 11:21:07
I would be suspicious of anyone calling themselves a Major Hun. It's hardly a term of endearment.

30 Jul 2026 11:48:15
Oh for you judgemental so and so, 😂 well, suppose better to be a major than a minor.

30 Jul 2026 11:53:20
I'm old school and don't get why any Rangers fan would call themselves "Hun".

30 Jul 2026 12:15:33
Nothing wrong with name, never bothered me being called it to be fair. I know it was used against us in some kind of sectarian slur, but did it not come from an English journalist when the Rangers fans rioted in Birmingham.

30 Jul 2026 12:38:52
Been labelled a bitter hun or a hun xxxxxxx most of my life. Never bothered me once. Water off a duck's back. If you don't like it, fine, but don't apply your standard onto someone else who couldn't care less.

30 Jul 2026 13:22:07
I'm that Staunch, I don't mind getting called bitter hun b******, really? 10 staunch points in the post on their way to you, Iron.

30 Jul 2026 13:57:06
Guy can call himself whatever he wants. Personally I wouldn't. Oh, and no one is projecting standards anywhere, just find it strange being that it's used as a derogatory term by our neighbours, but each to their own.

30 Jul 2026 14:34:18
Fork the staunch Celtic supporters probably won't mind getting called the equivalent either. There lies the problem of why the bs never ends, f*** boring. 😴

30 Jul 2026 14:36:00
Use the so-called derogatory term, then it has no power against you. Call myself that many a time.

{Ed001's Note - unfortunately, that is completely untrue. All it does is give others more freedom to use slurs, then they defend themselves by saying that you do it so how can it be a slur.}

30 Jul 2026 14:48:06
100% BB, tedious n tiresome. 👍

30 Jul 2026 17:02:52
Yeah, let's just call ourselves everything under the sun. That way we'll never be offended at anything. Why didn't I think of that? I'll be the calmest man in the world.
If you have any sons or daughters that support Rangers, Coopersdad, are you ok with any random in the street calling them that?

30 Jul 2026 20:02:37
Because u have a brain, BB. 👍

30 Jul 2026 00:07:14
rangers signing that coventry winger markelo loan with option to buy, looks a good player, also hearing mckinnes rates Gassama but is wanting another one in that can cover either side, could see Curtis staying as home grown talent

30 Jul 2026 06:55:11
imo, Gassama is not one to rely on for coming season - no real football brain and an attitude to match - take any money and run. 🤔👍

30 Jul 2026 07:24:03
Gassama started last season on fire, but that soon dampened down. His decision making is atrocious at times, and, for me, we need much better. There's talent there, but he is just so unreliable that we can't rely on him - especially as a starter.

30 Jul 2026 07:40:56
If you want a player like Gassama who is able to change a game in a flash, you have to accept some inconsistency at our level of spend, imo. I hope we keep him. Think he'll have a good season under Del. He's only 22.

30 Jul 2026 07:44:30
Gassama wants away, manager likes him, but he wants away so they won't step in his way if someone bids for him, what they think he's worth. He will be away by the end of the window, I think, going on what he says to a mate.

30 Jul 2026 07:53:40
I don't know anything about this Markelo, I hope he's back up because Antman is going. Possibly McCausland, Baj, and Souttar would be good business, to see about at least 8 or 9 million for them all. Using conservative estimations, 4.5 Antman, told we will at least get a couple million for Bajrami.

Say 2.5, taking it to 7 million, and should get at least 1.5 million for both McCausland and Souttar, taking it to 8.5 million. I'd blow the lot on the best rw I could find.

All I can say for Markelo is he looks really quick on YouTube.

Must be something about him if we have been looking at him for a year.

30 Jul 2026 08:04:57
Gassama has said he wants to stay, not that he wants away. Don't know what you're listening to.

30 Jul 2026 08:05:01
Who is going to buy him and would Gassama be interested if it's not the right fit?

30 Jul 2026 08:06:31
Gassama young, learning his trade. Bags of potential. Happy to keep.
EHL mentioned a while back about his attributes and his understanding of the game.
I think it kind of goes against the above views.

Apologies, EHL, if I have that wrong.

30 Jul 2026 08:11:23
R1, I agree with you and it was where Ross McCausland was at his best. We need impact from the bench and I think Gassama would give u that same as Curtis.

30 Jul 2026 08:55:50
I truly think we need 2 class right wingers yesterday. 🤔 We've no right winger with Antman now away to Anderlecht and McCausland about to be sold also. 🤔 We need another left winger even if Gassama is staying. 🤔 If one of the right wingers that McInnes is bringing in on loan is Markelo, imo he needs a better right winger and game changer to start and Markelo as back up.

🤔 The same on the left, ie. we need a class starting left winger and we'll have Curtis and Gassama as back up. 🤔 Sterling easily our best right back but we need to sign another right back and left back to push Rommens. 🤔 Finally, even after signing Makhanya, we need another centre half. 🤔 🇬🇧

30 Jul 2026 09:18:13
Markelo, I know nothing of, but let's say he's in to rotate with a first pick.

Cerny could prove too expensive, wages wise imo.
If his club hurry up and get Salah over the line, then they'll want too dolloar for all their players to try cover some of the £100m offered to Salah, so not going to be cheap to buy either.


Wonder if £5m is enough for Bloom for the Duberry boy too.

30 Jul 2026 09:36:28
Why do people keep saying he has a bad attitude, as if he is some sort of issue in the dressing room? What's he done? Be annoyed when he's subbed off?. 🤣

Do want players that are happy to be subbed off?

30 Jul 2026 10:33:10
Tav123, No idea where it all comes from. Last season he played wherever he was told to play, always came off and shook the coaching staff's hands.

No one was saying Cerny had a bad attitude when he was giving it to the fans 4 games into his time with us. 😂

30 Jul 2026 10:34:48
Honestly, baffles me how some view Gassama. He is inconsistent & has poor decision making, but he's 22 & will improve. He definitely does have a poor attitude, or he'd not have played out of possession or tracked back.

Don't see those same criticisms of Curtis for people when he's the same with decisions & is maybe a little consistent but that was at Killie, not us.

30 Jul 2026 12:42:05
Djb, u answered your own question, mate, he's inconsistent, and has poor decision making, so why is it baffling that most don't want him??

I'd actually add he rarely has a decent game, and he never has a great game, ability doesn't make u a good player, showing it does.

30 Jul 2026 12:56:21
Inconsistent and makes poor decisions but what a player eh 😂 he is brutal. Can change a game in a flash? How many games he changed in a flash? You can count that on one hand Jesus wept. He is greedy also.

30 Jul 2026 17:39:23
We're getting Duberry and Markelo for tomorrow.

29 Jul 2026 22:11:28
Mick priest is joining our club was scout at Manchester United till 2004 and more recently lead scout at Brentford he is coming in as 1st team scout apparently

29 Jul 2026 22:55:31
Couldn't make that name up, Mick Priest. 🤣

29 Jul 2026 22:57:07
Hopefully new eyes in the building bring some results.

29 Jul 2026 22:58:32
We haven't half taken a nosedive off the staunch train with this one. 😃

29 Jul 2026 23:02:41
He's certainly got extremely good credentials.

His scouting at Brentford has been nothing short of tremendous.

29 Jul 2026 23:24:03
Some offshoots of the Protestant Church are called priests. The Anglican Church, for one.

30 Jul 2026 01:25:43
His shouting at Brentforf has indeed been tremendous. However, they have millions more to spend.

30 Jul 2026 01:38:11
Walfred McParanoid was meant to be taking that role, I'd heard?

30 Jul 2026 02:22:56
Looks like we're back in the 60s and 70s.

30 Jul 2026 03:56:05
I was only a dirty thought in ma auld man's head in the 70s but it has to be better than the current state of affairs. 😂

30 Jul 2026 06:29:44
First Simon Ireland and now Mick Priest, are we sure this isn't a sketch show? 😂

30 Jul 2026 07:28:43
Brentford use data a lot to identify targets, so hopefully he brings a lot of that with him.

30 Jul 2026 09:40:31
Was he not a bassist in The Sweet - glam band from the 70s? 🤔😁 Bit of a Hellraiser.

30 Jul 2026 09:52:48
Brother of Judas Priest. 😁

30 Jul 2026 11:26:07
Seeker - Seen both bands live in their prime, so showing my age bud. 🤟😁😁😁😁

30 Jul 2026 11:21:44
I am struggling to calm down an elderly uncle today.he keeps yelling "whit who? " sounds like a mental owl.

30 Jul 2026 12:24:42
Me too, Blue. 👍

29 Jul 2026 21:39:30
Your Daily Dahl Update(really just for Stevie G, Wishy and me since we're his 3 biggest fans 😂):

JHD has travelled with Tromso for their second leg tie in Europe.
Cardiff haven't made any farther progress and are confident of being close to signing 3 new players in the coming days, none of which are Dahl.
No new teams are interested in main stream media.

No news is good news on our front

29 Jul 2026 22:44:32
Still think we'll sign him if Raskin, Barron and Cameron leave, mate.

29 Jul 2026 22:50:41
Raskin definitely off, mate. Just a question, is to where?

29 Jul 2026 22:59:48
I think so as well, Wishy.

29 Jul 2026 23:08:50
Great idea, Blue, haha. 👍🏻

I think the idea since before the first leg was that he'd play both legs.

Raskin will be sold after the coming weekend and we'll then sign Dahl.

I don't think Barron etc are to do with the Dahl deal.

I think Raskin out, Dahl in.

I then think we go ahead with a mf of:

Neil (Diomande)
Devlin (Drago)
Dahl (Chucky)

I see Aasgaard as a front left forward player.



I also think Cameron may be retained for Europe.

Raskin, Barron, Bajrami all leaving. Cifuentes really doesn't count in any way. I'd just send him home and pay him anyway. I wouldn't let him near the club.

29 Jul 2026 23:21:47
I read today that Hull have interest in Dahl but no bid.

How credible that is, I don't know. It was Daily Record transfer news and one other. I can't remember.

29 Jul 2026 23:37:59
I wonder if the lack of news about his potential destination is simply because he's coming here.

30 Jul 2026 07:22:59
Dahl not coming. Need to let it sink in.
There is 0 chance of us having 6/7 midfielders.
Doubt Barron will go this window.
Vanja, Devlin, Neil, Chucky, Aasgaard, Diomande.

30 Jul 2026 09:05:07
Need rid of Diomande asap.

30 Jul 2026 11:24:54
Pay for a trip to Cardiff for Dahl, that should end any chance of him going there. I see Hull also mentioned, but I'm sure he will know what that is like.

30 Jul 2026 11:56:05
Bluenose, you are 100% wrong because Dahl will be a Rangers player in the not too distant future once factors move into place, mainly for outgoings, not from a financial point.

30 Jul 2026 17:36:00
Personally I'd rather keep Barron and sell Diomande.

So my mf 6/7 would be.

Neil / Barron
Devlin / Drago
Dahl / Cameron

Chucky the spare.

29 Jul 2026 20:29:04
Any update on the stadium upgrade. I can't remember who knew stuff about the stadium ect sorry 😐

29 Jul 2026 21:31:38
I think it was WATP1981, maybe?

29 Jul 2026 21:33:49
Was WATP, who is the stadium guy. :)

29 Jul 2026 21:45:28
Work has been carried out on the following.

Playing resurfaces done ✅.
Copland Rear Stand glass ✅.
Work still being carried out in Bill Struth Stand.

Little touch ups in trophy room complete also.



If you're asking about increasing capacity, the plans are there. A blueprint had been completed, but we are probably 2 years behind for planning. So much goes into adding to the current infrastructure.

29 Jul 2026 21:50:50
Win the league for 2x3 years. Then talk about the stadium etc.

29 Jul 2026 21:53:13
WATP891,
Are you able to elaborate on what capacity we would likely end up with and what road we are planning to go down to achieve this?

29 Jul 2026 21:53:18
Had the privilege to install some of the balustrades around Ibrox over the last few years. I've been, there's more work to come, so take of that as you will.

29 Jul 2026 22:08:39
Toilets really need done in concourses, and the food stalls really need to have more variety than pies n hot dogs. Go down to England, you get chicken n chips, pizza, all sorts of stuff, great choices.

29 Jul 2026 22:32:11
Thanks, WATP. My son said they're hoping to take the seating up2 60 thousand. Am no good at maths, how much would the extra income bring in each season?

29 Jul 2026 21:59:05
I saw a video on sm about fans complaining about the view of the pitch from a certain area, anyone any info on it?

29 Jul 2026 22:40:30
What we need to remember as a fan group is priorities are priorities depending where you are in the club.

For fans, it may be fan zones.
For staff, it could be internal toilets.
For health and safety, it could be building maintenance.

These are 3 random things, for example, so don't take it seriously. However, there is a lot of work to go into Ibrox. Sadly our last board let a lot go to waste.



Talk is to increase 20%, which would take us around 60, 000, but that's very early chat.

Fixing toilets, plumbing, improving wifi, increasing and improving fan view for our disabled supporters.

So much wants done, and it will, but it's going to take time. Contractors, supplies and planning take time.

I seriously worry what Ibrox would have become if 49ers didn't come in.

29 Jul 2026 22:42:18
Yes, The 12th, 60, 000 is correct, roughly. That's the 20% I have seen.

29 Jul 2026 22:49:10
Watp, u talk about seeing the plans, so where are the other ten sitting.

29 Jul 2026 22:54:11
Cheers, mate, appreciate it.

29 Jul 2026 23:16:10
John, the guys are only passing on the info.

29 Jul 2026 23:17:24
Other 10 what, John? Thousand? U think we're going to 70?

29 Jul 2026 23:18:43
John2575

We can either take away Broomland away section and increase that corner, this would increase about 3000.

We could increase seating in Copland or Broom.

Even a suggestion to increase rear Sandy Jardine. We can't fill in the spaces of the Main Stand for fire exit and emergency services, this will, in my opinion, always stay open.

One thing we can't do is fill.

29 Jul 2026 23:24:08
I'm no engineer, but would it be possible to take the roof or the Sandy Jardine Stand and put them there, remove the teles and fill that bit in?

29 Jul 2026 23:34:17
Also, just want to confirm something before people jump down my throat. When I say I have seen the plans, what I have specifically seen is two things.

Cross-sectional drawings & Isometric and Wireframe Models.

30 Jul 2026 00:24:57
60, 000 is probably a bit ambitious just now.

There has been talk over the years about lowering the playing pitch by a few metres. From what I've read, though, more investigation would be needed into the water table because of the proximity to the Clyde.

If that proves feasible, lowering the pitch by a few metres could potentially take the capacity to around 55, 000, maybe even 57, 000 with alterations to other parts of the stadium.

Anything beyond that would likely be something looked at much further down the line.



Whatever they decide, it would be a major project. I'd imagine it would mean playing a good part of a season away from Ibrox, as it's hard to see work on that scale being completed over a single close season.

It'll be interesting to see what happens over the next few years.

This probably won't be a popular opinion, but if the new owners are really serious and see themselves here for decades, who's to say they wouldn't even consider building a brand-new stadium one day? 🙈

Never say never. 🙂‍↔️

30 Jul 2026 01:50:12
Stig, I'd like to see a whole new all-purpose stadium to last the next 200 years, mate.

We could try our very best to incorporate the old main stand into this new stadium, if that's not possible, I like the idea of fb what Arsenal did with Highbury's housing project.



It could generate funds for the club if we do it properly.

I know, too, it's not popular but I'd like that idea.

30 Jul 2026 06:38:42
Well entitled to your opinion Stevie G, which you know I respect, my friend, but being a traditionalist I'd absolutely prefer to remain at Ibrox Stadium as our home and have plans to increase our stadium that way, pal. Been going to Ibrox for over 50 years and wouldn't want us to move away from our historic and famous Ibrox Stadium.

30 Jul 2026 08:11:39
How does 10 make 70??? Stevie!?

30 Jul 2026 08:13:11
I know this will cause a. 🤯
I would be happy if we looked at building a new state of the art stadium.

Flack jacket and helmet on and fastened. 🫡

30 Jul 2026 08:19:37
Generally speaking, a business will have a capex / capital budget set as a % of their revenue.

Unfortunately, what usually happens, as WATP said, is that a lot of it gets eaten up every year by maintenance like painting, new carpets, health and safety, seat replacements, new lifts etc.



New capacity, however, could be put forward as an investment case over and above the normal capex budget, as it will generate additional revenue. However, it will be a draw on cash, which might be needed for squad investment.

30 Jul 2026 08:35:44
Think most of us would, Walter, but how do you do it then. The fall out having to play at Hampden for a couple of months was unreal. Imagine that for a full season.

Whatever we do needs to have real return for investment.

So the minute we go over adding a few seats here and there to existing infrastructure is going to cost a pretty penny, and there will come a time where its cheaper to start anew than modifying.

30 Jul 2026 08:59:49
Absolutely Coops, and that's vice versa with us, mate. 👍🏻
As Geesadod says, there will come a time, mate, when it makes too much economic sense and has to happen.

That time may not be for our lifetime, though.

Gdog, I thought he meant Another 10 on top of this 20% mate, thought he was challenging the op re plans.

30 Jul 2026 11:27:26
Yes, what they did with Highbury is excellent.

30 Jul 2026 12:05:23
Burghger, the Highbury's development is class, imagine that with us but let's say we do it as a museum, hotel, restaurants, executive flats, I do believe the area of Ibrox to be a lot bigger that what they had to work with Highbury's too so we could have a lot more housing than they had too with the main stand being the museum.



It could make us a fortune and contribute towards a new all purpose stadium, of course we would want that in Govan and as close to Ibrox as possible.

30 Jul 2026 12:25:57
I'd settle for seat getting fixed and a power wash.

30 Jul 2026 15:24:24
They don't wash them, they use a flamethrower, it restores the colour.

30 Jul 2026 16:44:31
Remember guys that the front facade is a listed building.

30 Jul 2026 17:38:08
Also kills germs and bacteria.

29 Jul 2026 17:31:21
What's the thoughts on current squad in terms of registration for Europe.

When Makhanya gets announced that will take our squad to 29. Hopefully RW takes us up to 30.

McCausland, Antman, Souttar & Bajrami all look close to leaving with Raskin tipped to leave by end of window. Takes squad down to 25.

Chances of Nsiala and Cifu being in squad slim down to 23.

Of remaining squad the 17 foreign players are taken up with Pandur, Godfrey, Rommens, Neil, Devlin, Drago, Chermiti, Sterling, Fernandes, AAsgaard, Chuki, Naderi, Makhanya, Dio, Gassama, Miovski and hopefully the new RW.

Kelly and McRorie are home grown.

Curtis I believe actually still counts as B Squad if need be.

And Shankland, Cameron, Barron are association players.

To bring in another foreign player after Makhanya and the RW means someone from the above list of 17 needs to be left out of Euro squad or sold.

We might need to start looking at home grown players soon to fill spaces, even more so if Cameron and Barron leave either on Loan or Permanently.

I think the remainder of the window is indeed going to be interesting as I'd say probably still need another RW, LB and CB after these 2 deals confirmed. At the moment may need to come from closer to home.

Thoughts?

Good post, Coisty, well thought out.
Interesting read.

29 Jul 2026 18:11:26
Miovski probably drops out for another defender or midfielder from Euro squad.

29 Jul 2026 18:25:59
Good post, we have dealt with this since pre Gerrard days and with simply need to again.

29 Jul 2026 18:30:39
Coisty, excellent research and saves us looking it all up, so thanks. However, your list with new CB and RW just add up to 17 so we still have one place up for grabs so hopefully an attacking MF as well.

We do need another CB though as even counting Sterling as one we would only have 4 and that bit us the year Leon King had to play. Does that suggest Milne from Aberdeen, or do we have a young lad who can cover?

29 Jul 2026 18:34:45
Great insight. I guess the provisional squad will be in DM's head, but he'll know who he wants to see in it. Our squad might look quite different after the weekend.

29 Jul 2026 18:45:51
I think Milne from Aberdeen for CB and possibly Penrice for LB, but 2 more association players would mean either Barron or Cameron moved out to accommodate.
One of Aasgaard or Dio sold to make way for Dahl.
Possibly Miovski make way for a RW.
And Gassama sold for a new LW.
I'd be happy with that. I think. 🤔

Good post and replies from all.
Around about this time every year I try to work this out while walking my dog.
I already started to think about this last week working out the home grown and association players likely to still be with us.
It's definitely an issue we've been dealing with on an annual basis for some time.

29 Jul 2026 20:11:09
Very interesting post, Coisty. Definitely a lot of food for thought there.

29 Jul 2026 20:31:26
Fraser for left back gives us club trained, as does Robbie McCrorie. Takes us to 4.

Shanks n Cameron would be only 2 association if Souttar and Barron leave. This is why I think Cameron will stay.

Milne from Aberdeen could do a job for sure, but I wouldn't go above £3m unless the extra was heavily incentivised.

One short isn't so bad.

29 Jul 2026 22:02:20
Brilliant post. Gives the fans a bit of insight of why certain players were signed, not only for those reasons, but just as a package made sense.

29 Jul 2026 22:08:18
BB4 never thought of that; perhaps we are heading towards having a split squad where perhaps some are signed purely to play domestic games, and have others better suited to the European games and be our quality in domestic too, of course.

29 Jul 2026 22:11:49
Excellent post, I'd be surprised if Gassama & Miovski are Rangers players come September. Not insider knowledge, just a hunch! That'd open 2 additional spaces for, hopefully, a left back (assuming Scally won't go down as our home grown or B team option) & another wide player.

29 Jul 2026 22:26:00
Does Devlin not qualify?

29 Jul 2026 23:03:41
Rangers 56, unfortunately no. Devlin is Australian and only joined Hearts 2021. His background is in Australia, so he's classified as foreign.

29 Jul 2026 23:19:09
Fraser would be good for club trained, as would Patterson if we got him on loan at rb n sold Sterling.

30 Jul 2026 09:13:29
Stevie, surely we can't go into the season with Patterson and McCrorie as our 2 right backs? Going from Tav and Sterling to them 2 is a massive downgrade. I was happy wee signed Ross btw, as a back up and someone who can cover a few positions.

Always liked young Nathan, but his injury record is worse than Sterling, and, for me, he's not as good a player.

30 Jul 2026 12:10:05
Mops, I'd say he's a better player when both are fit, and I think Mccrorie is a good enough fullback for us. I think most are doing him a disservice.

He's a super fit big guy. A machine. We have others who can cover if both were out, and come January, if Patterson hadn't been for we sign another and terminate the loan.



It's just a shout to film that quota.

Kelly
Mccrorie (Robbie)
Patterson
Fraser
Mccrorie (Ross)

Shanks
Milne
Cameron

Gives us one full 8.
