Rangers rumours 4

22 Jul 2026 04:14:47
Anyone itk what full pre season training squad is. Apart from Raskin it should be clear as to who is going to be given a chance pr not no matter what transfers we hope may happen?

22 Jul 2026 06:25:10
Ehl said yesterday that everyone gets a chance under the new manager. Which is not that uncommon.

22 Jul 2026 06:55:27
We r actively seeking to move a number off players on.

22 Jul 2026 07:20:39
Who is everyone, cause I don't think there is as many as people think. We do have a few strikers, and I mean strikers, but apart from that. Threadbare.

22 Jul 2026 07:49:55
Grad, what about cm's? Overloaded.

22 Jul 2026 07:53:23
Threadbare?
We've got a bloated midfield that has to be trimmed, and will be over the next couple of weeks. We have good striking options too. We need a winger and at least one centre half. We also have moves on as we move players out, e.g. sell Gassama or Sterling, and a replacement likely.

22 Jul 2026 08:06:05
The squad is very uneven. We have got far too many CMs, and a lot of them won't be in the plans, hence why we have signed two new ones, close to a 3rd new one, and want a 4th new one.
We are also severely short in defence. If rumours are to be believed, and Souttar is leaving, it leaves us with two first-team CBs, and one is an injury-prone loanee.

We have one senior left back as well.
We are lacking real quality out wide too.

The only position that doesn't need work is striker.

So much work still to do.

22 Jul 2026 08:19:54
Squad is not threadbare on paper. We are light at left back. Apart from that we've got 5 strikers, 4 wingers, 2 right backs, 4 centre halves and god knows how many central midfielders.

22 Jul 2026 08:33:54
Rangers may choose to play a 3 man midfield next season. That requires 6 players to constantly rotate. I'm assuming Raskin is leaving. If that's the case, Rangers aren't overloaded with CMs.

22 Jul 2026 08:41:48
Dragojevic
Diomande
Chukwuani
Barron
Neil
Cameron
Bajrami
Devlin
Aasgaard
Not overloaded with cm's, without Raskin, Rohl.
😎

22 Jul 2026 08:42:46
Would like seeing your overloaded then, Rohl.

22 Jul 2026 08:55:42
Well, my list wouldn't include players that don't play for Rangers for a start. I also expect Raskin to leave as I said above.

A 3 man midfield requires 6 players rotating all season long. We're right about there at the moment. Last season, Danny Rohl tried a 3 man midfield with 4 players and it couldn't be done.

It needs 6 players:

I'm surprised you mentioned Bajrami there as I don't view him as a cm at all. He's mostly been used as an attacking midfielder out wide. I actually think Bajrami will leave this window.

I don't think Rangers are overloaded in midfield.

22 Jul 2026 09:11:35
Bajrami is a cm, though, yes he can play wide.
That is 9 cm's without including Raskin, Rohl, some salary in the middle of the park.
What is overload for you then?

Who isn't a Rangers player on that list?

22 Jul 2026 09:12:53
Very few of our players who are likely to be sold are priority signings for clubs who are interested, so the majority will move later in the window once the domino effect comes into play.

22 Jul 2026 09:13:44
Until players leave Rohl they are still part of the squad, whether they are attacking midfielders, defensive, whatever we have Devlin, Cifu, Cameron, Barron, Dio, Aasgaard, Chuki and Raskin.

If his list can't include players who don't play for Rangers, yours can't include players that do.

22 Jul 2026 09:21:19
Sad but true, EHL, once again previous mistakes from previous transfer windows are holding us back. Other than maybe Raskin and Aasgaard, I don't see any of our players being in demand from the ones we would want to sell. Of course, Manny and Chermiti would be too, I'd guess.

22 Jul 2026 09:29:43
If you want to include Bajrami as a CM or Cifuentes, go ahead, Tav. I don't have time to waste on that.

I do think Rangers will swap Raskin for Dragojevic. So I'm conceding the point there. If that happens:

Dragojevic
Diomande
Chukwuani
Barron
Neil
Cameron (He's getting another chance but could go out on loan)
Devlin

That looks pretty close to a group that can play a 3 man midfield all season long.

22 Jul 2026 09:51:51
Diomande looks likely to be moving.
Chukwuani seemingly hasn't settled and wants a move.
Barron appears to have significant interest.

Would say that leaves us a couple short in midfield.

22 Jul 2026 09:54:08
They are literally Rangers players as it stands, which was the original point of actual amount of midfielders in our squad. 😂 Just because you don't have time to waste on it, doesn't mean the people at the club don't. When they look at the squad, they'll see people they need to move on, not go "ach well Cifuentes doesn't even count".

Some will be moved on, but currently, right now, we have a lot of midfielders in the central area of the pitch.

I don't understand how including Bajrami, who's an attacking midfielder, in that is wasting time because he's also played off the left? You've also missed Assgaard off your list, which would make 8 players, or does he not count for some other reason also.

22 Jul 2026 09:55:38
Bajrami is a cm though, Rohl, can play more advanced or wide, still a cm, on a decent salary.

22 Jul 2026 10:09:50
Mystar, no point arguing with him, goes in one ear and out the other. Ignore is the best course of action.

22 Jul 2026 10:10:51
Rangers will be playing 2 up top, so not sure about the 3 players needed for midfield tbh.
There are 11 listed in squad, we will be losing Raskin plus 2-3 more, either sold or loaned out.

Barron will be sold, Diomande or Chuwanae will be sold, Bajrami or Aasgaard will be sold as well.
We already had too many, now we have bought 1 and signed 2 on pre contracts.

22 Jul 2026 10:21:57
Think you're correct, Wishy. Yesterday it was them that wanted Moore. Curtis will hand in a transfer request. He must be thinking another player that is playing his position, with him on the bench, he'll fire in a transfer request instead of challenging that player for his spot in the team.

22 Jul 2026 10:36:40
My star, this came up previously was always the position that a loan was likely for Curtis this season to get him minutes as a first choice pick without the added pressures of the Ibrox faithful to deal with.



That position may have changed under McInnes, but I think we may see a late window loan move for him dependent on who we sign for the attacking positions.

22 Jul 2026 10:57:34
Lol! As Harry Enfield once said 'calm down, calm down'.

EHL makes a good point re outgoings. They are not going to be anyone's priority targets so it will take until the end of the window until we shift them.



Unfortunately, it probably means that we will miss out on Dahl by then. We can't keep adding CM's to wage bill until some go. Adding before selling is a ghost that still haunts us to this day.

22 Jul 2026 11:55:18
I never spoke about "people at the club". Tav, you've gone off on a wild rant there. I think I'll leave you to it.

22 Jul 2026 11:56:06
It says on multiple sites that both Aasgaard and Bajrami are attacking midfielders. Also, still believe that McInnes likes Bajrami, so could possibly see him stay. Different story for Aasgaard. Could be completely wrong though on those points, except the attacking mid one.

22 Jul 2026 11:56:20
How many times has Bajrami played CM for Rangers, Star? Do you see him being a CM under McInnes?

Why don't you just stop wasting my time and yours. He's not a CM.

22 Jul 2026 12:04:45
Two man midfields get overrun constantly by three man midfields. This is why you don't see it as much anymore.

If we play two man midfields all season, we'll be overrun by Celtic and in Europe. Remember Celtic overran our two man midfield last season? They brought on Hatate at halftime and it completely changed the game.

4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1 are the meta for a reason.

22 Jul 2026 12:06:16
Curtis asked to leave Rangers for first-team football in January, Storm. If he doesn't get game time again this season he might do so again.

Is that really so far-fetched? Curtis needs to play. If he doesn't he'll want to leave. I have no idea why you're struggling with that.

22 Jul 2026 12:17:43
"It says on multiple sites that both Aasgaard and Bajrami are attacking midfielders."

I totally agree that they are attacking midfielders. Number 10s or out wide. They're not central midfielders.

22 Jul 2026 12:38:51
Chucky does not want out!

22 Jul 2026 12:47:30
Dragojevic isn't our player, Aasgaard and particularly Bajrami are not central midfielders and I honestly don't see Cameron playing there either. I do agree, though, we are beginning to have too many and shouldn't have signed Devlin who won't start and will fall down the pecking order if we do make signings.

22 Jul 2026 12:51:37
I'll never understand what some people see. Rohl, you're off your head, mate, if you think we aren't overloaded in midfield.

22 Jul 2026 12:58:29
Why don't you just stop wasting everyone's time, Rohl?
Same with your rant about Curtis, because that was all it was, so you're clearly saying he won't fight for the jersey, he knew himself he needed a move in January for game time.
Again, Bajrami has played cm for Rangers, can't you remember when he stopped McGregor playing? Midfield three of Raskin, Diomande and Bajrami.

Aasgaard has also played cm for us, right side of a three man midfield.

Wslgers, Dragojevic is a Rangers player.

22 Jul 2026 13:00:20
Rangers aren't overloaded in midfield if the plan is to play with a consistent 3.

I've already provided very detailed reasons why. If you have a counter argument other than just insulting people, feel free to offer it.

22 Jul 2026 12:09:44
Did anyone else hear our powers that be were trying to get elliot watts ban impossed on him internationally so he would have to miss games in turkey lol unless he apologised.

Just shows how petty and full of Celtic fans our league runners are

22 Jul 2026 13:04:58
Devlin wasn't signed as a starter. He is clearly here as a squad player.

If Rangers are looking to protect a lead, play it tight, see a game out, then Devlin is the man to go to. Bring off an attacker and put him on to provide an extra man in midfield.

Teams have been doing that for decades.

I'd also add that Rangers have lacked this type of player since Ryan Jack, a tenacious ball winning midfielder who can sit in front of the defense.

22 Jul 2026 13:12:13
I know Curtis won't fight for the jersey, Star. Do you know how I know that? Because, in January, Curtis asked to leave this club for game time, he did not ask to stay and fight for a place.

Curtis wants to play football.

If he doesn't get football at Rangers, why won't he just ask to leave again? Has he had a personality transplant?

So I'll ask again, what part of this are you struggling with?

22 Jul 2026 13:16:17
Bajrami and Aasgaard won't be playing central midfield for Rangers next season, Storm. Stop wasting people's time with this rubbish.

22 Jul 2026 13:29:02
Rohn, what is Diomande, Dragojevic, Niel, Barron, Chukwuani, Aasgaard, Devlin and Cameron then? 8 not including Bajrami, into 3 starting, could even remove Aasgaard, still have 7.
Deary dear man, Curtis moved because he'd struggle for game time, so now he'll request a transfer if he isn't in the side, Rohl.

😳 That's enough for me.
You said I'm wasting your time, so it's ok you having a go, but others can't have a go at you, fair play. Now I know what I'm dealing with.
You seem to be struggling with we have enough cm's unless someone leaves.
I'm done with you now, happy a great day.

22 Jul 2026 13:40:20
We will definitely be playing three in midfield mostly this season, fact.

22 Jul 2026 14:01:24
Two players for every position, Storm. So six central midfielders are needed. Six for the constant rotations, suspensions, injuries, or just tactical changes. It's quite common.

Secondly, you keep talking about Aasgaard and Bajrami like they play in the heart of Rangers midfield often, and will play a big part for us next season. You seem to be the only one with that opinion and I'm guessing you'll be proven wrong over time.

Third, you still don't get the point about Curtis wanting game time.

He is willing to leave if need be as he has already proven. If you cannot understand this point, I cannot help you.

Lastly, I'm debating about football. I'm not "having a go" at you. Stop acting like some sort of victim. Also, I can tell you what you're dealing with if you like - I'm another user of this football forum. That is what you are dealing with. Someone who has different opinions than yours, on an anonymous internet forum. I know this must be hard for you.

What else you got? LOL

22 Jul 2026 14:03:22
RWC, you having a meltdown? Are you ok, pal?

22 Jul 2026 13:12:59
"Dragojevic is a Rangers player"

When was that announced?

22 Jul 2026 15:05:12
Curtis is a Rangers supporter who has played hundreds of games at youth level. You actually think, because he wanted to go on loan to get game time, that he won't fight for our jersey when he plays for us, Rohl? The boy has given himself a fighting chance because of the loan to play for us every week.

22 Jul 2026 15:32:31
McInnes doesn't actually rotate a lot, so if yer on form yer playing, so this ye need 6 to play a 3 man midfield is deluded. Not every player will be chopped n changed. There will be a solid 2 start week in week out n one will be rotated depending on opponent.

If we get Vanja, it will be him and Neil 💯 week in week out, with one rotating depending on the standard of opposition. I imagine we may not even play with a 6 when we're up against the low block in the league.

22 Jul 2026 16:01:28
Forever it is normal practice, and has been for years, a ban carries if transferred.

22 Jul 2026 16:19:47
I'm hearing Turkish FA told them to get lost, John, but Watt apologised anyhoo, just to make things simpler.

22 Jul 2026 16:48:06
Can't you see I've removed Aasgaard and Bajrami, but we still have 7, Rohl, you are making very little sense, if any.

22 Jul 2026 16:49:05
Rohl. 😪

22 Jul 2026 16:59:28
Yeah I agree fifty6 we will be playing with two up top so I can't see us playing with 3 cm's or a 10. I also wouldn't class Aasgaard and Bajrami as cm's, they are 10s behind strikers and both will be surplus due to two up top.

21 Jul 2026 22:10:00
Does anyone know about this man United young player we're allegedly interested in i think he's called james overy 🤔🇬🇧

21 Jul 2026 22:45:21
Apparently, may be an option if he doesn't go back to Australia.

Also, seen Celtic have enquired about Penrice.

21 Jul 2026 23:10:50
Not sure if interested, but Scottish Mother.

22 Jul 2026 01:07:38
And why does Scottish mother matter to Rangers?

22 Jul 2026 01:31:17
Because maybe his mum would be happy returning here than going back to Australia? Does that seriously need an answer?

22 Jul 2026 06:44:26
I've got a feeling Penrice will end up at Celtic. Why did we stop chasing that? Apparently they've enquired about Braga too. Both players I'd have liked to see at Rangers.

22 Jul 2026 06:56:47
Rangers have not chased Penrice.

22 Jul 2026 07:15:03
You sound surprised, AlbaBear. All they've done all window is look at who we've been looking it. And if they want to pay the 8-10m for Braga then let them. He's not worth that much to us.

22 Jul 2026 07:23:27
Braga is not worth the fee Hearts want, especially to be sitting on our bench with LS, YC, and RN ahead of him. He could play LW, but even then it's not his main position, so it's kinda pointless.

22 Jul 2026 07:30:29
I don't know much about the young man, United right back James Overy, that we're allegedly interested in. 🤔 Does anyone know how good Overy is? 🤔

22 Jul 2026 08:36:22
I don't think Celtic will sign Penrice. Greg Taylor is far more proven and they can just bring him straight back.

I also don't think Celtic will be spending £8m on anyone. They're skint. They're offering staff wage cuts, they have wonderkids leaving, players wanting out, etc. They put a couple of small bids in yesterday after selling their best player at a cut price fee.

22 Jul 2026 08:46:32
Penrice to Celtic don't get past the inquiry stage as yet.

Same as ours.

Athens after too much for what would be a backup player.

22 Jul 2026 08:48:47
Can't see Celtic signing Penrice, also see we are back in for Piroe. Is that going to be the statement signing?

22 Jul 2026 09:23:53
RWC, they aren't skint, they just don't like spending money.

22 Jul 2026 10:12:51
If Celtic won't pay £1.7m for the lb they had on loan last season and tried to loan again, I can't see them spending at least double that on Penrice.

22 Jul 2026 11:49:19
Something tells me they are skint, Storm. They are offering coaches reduced wages. There was real inactivity from them in January too. I believe Celtic are having financial issues brought about by those historic court cases.

You must admit, they aren't spending to a very unusual level.

They're only willing to spend a few million now because they sold their best player yesterday (for a fraction of his true worth I might add).

Look at how many players and managers want out as well in recent years. Something is rotten in Denmark.

22 Jul 2026 12:11:14
Cal b, that does not answer the question.

As I said, from a Rangers point of view.

22 Jul 2026 12:46:46
Forever, that is correct, there is a class action case or
Ding in America, I believe it's already in motion and going through the routine if u will.

22 Jul 2026 12:51:44
Going back to the original question, haven't heard much about Overy except that he's an 18-year-old Australian right back. Sounds like a signing for the development side, who will maybe provide cover and get a few games ala Bassey when he was signed. It's important that we go back to bringing in these type of signings as well as first team players.

22 Jul 2026 13:48:51
imo, at this stage, Zander Hutton is a better player, Walter.

22 Jul 2026 13:52:21
John, we haven't been chasing Penrice? I swear he was all that was spoken about on this a few weeks ago. I could be wrong, though. Definitely seen his name mentioned more than a few times!

22 Jul 2026 21:30:07
Mothers side of family all Rangers fans.

21 Jul 2026 21:10:39
LundstramLoyal are you able to give us a hint as to the position for said bombshell signing?

Are they a direct replacement for an outgoing player or for a position we might consider weaker at this present moment in time?

21 Jul 2026 21:32:59
Goram, it's a winger, I'm sure it was said?

We know it's not a fullback or striker, won't be centre mid if we get Drago and Dahl.

We don't play a 10, and we've got Shanks if we do.

For me it's a winger.

21 Jul 2026 21:42:09
Should be the best quality left footed cb that will come to our league.

21 Jul 2026 21:44:11
I'm sure the blockbuster signing we are rumoured to be signing in August is a winger, as Stevie said.

21 Jul 2026 22:18:46
Tbh, think back to some of our recent bombshell signings not been the best, to be fair. But fingers crossed.

21 Jul 2026 22:26:21
You'd have to imagine it's Moore on another loan which I don't know if I'd call a "bombshell".

21 Jul 2026 22:37:18
Seemingly a name that's not been mentioned on here, JH.

21 Jul 2026 22:50:38
Hopefully better than the last few blockbusters. Ramsey, Francis, Olsen etc.

21 Jul 2026 23:12:16
If it is indeed a winger with previous Prem experience, potential options could be Sterling, Grealish, Pedro, Benrhama, Adama Traore, Willian, Lingard (I hope it's none of them tbh).

21 Jul 2026 23:15:03
I have a feeling in my water it will be significantly better than all of the above.

22 Jul 2026 04:31:22
Surely it won't be Moore. Good player but hardly a bombshell signing, but in saying that I'd be happy to have him back.

22 Jul 2026 07:12:17
I have heard it's John Stones as he's a free agent, but personally I'd take that with a pinch of salt. I can't see this happening, as I'd imagine he wouldn't be short of offers with big money from the EPL, or Saudi, etc.

22 Jul 2026 08:07:43
Stones linked with Chelsea, Inter and Arsenal. No chance he's coming to Rangers.

22 Jul 2026 08:47:20
It's ex Celtic player Liel Abaca.

22 Jul 2026 09:32:45
That's a brilliant shout, Stephen. Liel Abada plays right-wing. He has the end product, he knows the league, and he has plenty of reasons to dislike Celtic these days. That would be a statement signing.

22 Jul 2026 10:14:04
Traore is a realistic option imo.

22 Jul 2026 11:11:22
Abada would cause a lot of friction with some of our support and all of theirs. Would take him, though, if you leave the politics out of it, but that won't happen.

22 Jul 2026 12:13:52
Kenny Miller played for Celtic. Nobody cares once the player has signed and starts scoring.

22 Jul 2026 12:17:50
Lol was just reading first few, thinking maybe it's ex Celtic Taylor as backup.

22 Jul 2026 12:42:33
I reckon it will be Daniel James from Leeds, the former Man United winger.

21 Jul 2026 20:03:28
Anyone in the know are we looking for a replacement for Scott Fry as set peace coach since he left the club as i have not seen or heard anything.

21 Jul 2026 20:20:25
I hope so. Seems there is an advantage to be had having someone on this.

21 Jul 2026 20:27:53
I was thinking about this too. Rangers and Hearts scored the most set-piece routines last season. Both clubs were the only ones in the SPFL to have set-piece coaches. Celtic have already snapped up that set-piece coach from Hearts.

I do hope Rangers find another set-piece coach.

I read into this years ago, when Brentford first hired a set-piece specialist. They hired a guy that had written entire books about corners and how impactful they can be. It certainly seems to be the way forward.

21 Jul 2026 20:49:56
I have a feeling Tav might be offered the set-piece coach gig. Unless he has signed for someone else.

21 Jul 2026 21:00:26
I'm sure I seen online we were going after the Wycombe Wanderers one, hopefully get someone soon.

21 Jul 2026 21:11:09
McCinnes and Shanks and Devlin had Celtic's new set-piece coach at Hearts last year, so they'll know a lot about his ideas.

21 Jul 2026 21:15:35
Tav, really, what makes him a set piece coach. I get people like him, but come on. 😆

21 Jul 2026 21:31:47
Aggression is the key to set pieces. Simple as that, who wants to win the ball.

21 Jul 2026 21:33:31
Get Juninho ex Lyon in, he'll do a job.

21 Jul 2026 21:44:19
Yes, we are bringing the Wycombe set piece coach in.

22 Jul 2026 10:15:13
I don't see why we don't bring Tav back as back up RB who can also play CH. Not as captain, just as a good honest pro.

22 Jul 2026 11:39:36
Jzsr, you can be aggressive all you want in the box, but it's not going to lead to goals. Whereas set routines and practices can more likely than not.

22 Jul 2026 12:48:53
56, I'd be happy with that too, mate. It makes a lot of sense for a year, if we're trying to get so many new faces in and struggling, he makes so much sense.

22 Jul 2026 13:02:48
We didn't have a set piece coach during any of our best eras, and we scored goals through physical aggression and desire. As Archie used to say, "All the big men are up." Scott Fry came in, and, because we scored a few goals over a short period, people were singing his praises, but those goals quickly dried up, and we were horrendous at the back from pretty much any dead ball.

Maybe players are too afraid to put themselves in the mix now?

22 Jul 2026 14:07:21
Gaza, football has evolved in 30 years.

21 Jul 2026 19:45:23
Just seen that diawarra fee agreed and terms are not a stumbling block but ac Milan are trying to get him also and C. Palace are sniffing too
Dahl should be agreed soon in time for Europa league game also Cerny not coming rumour is he is going to an unnamed German club.

21 Jul 2026 20:04:26
Hopefully we can get that completed as he looks like a solid defender from what I have seen when looking him up.

21 Jul 2026 20:14:30
ScotGer, I hope you're right about Dahl and wrong about Cerny.
imo, they are the 2 names we need to complete team middle to front then it's just getting a decent RB cover and another good CH.


I'd use the boy Scally as back up LB, he looks like a left sided young Alan Hutton could easily do a job as back up or sign Greg Taylor. 😳

21 Jul 2026 20:19:01
Sure, AC Milan are wanting to put him in youth side I read?

21 Jul 2026 20:27:41
Peterpan, you'd be correct, we're offering first team football, AC Milan are offering the U23 squad to build himself up to the first team.

21 Jul 2026 20:25:37
You would use a 16 year old as back up or sign an ex Celtic dud.Thank goodness you're not in charge.

21 Jul 2026 20:52:40
That Celtic dud has more winners' medals than most Rangers legends, wslgers.

One of the criticisms that was constantly thrown at James Tavernier was a lack of silverware. Well, Greg Taylor has that in spades.

Something that was also said of Rangers prior to Gerrard winning the title is that we had no proven winners.

Nobody who had got across the line. James Tavernier was the last title winner we had. Greg Taylor has won everything in Scotland and has that winners' mentality.

People said they wanted Scottish players who were proven in our league and knew the demands of the Old Firm. Isn't Greg Taylor all of that?

21 Jul 2026 22:30:35
Greg Taylor is certainly not a dud, he's won loads with them. Sure, I read he's a Gers fan too, but I could be wrong. If he came, I think he would be a good addition to the squad, to be honest.

22 Jul 2026 00:08:25
Greg Taylor's family are massive Gers fans, as was he before he signed for the other mob.

22 Jul 2026 00:09:54
RohlWithCheese, I'd rather rubbish in my hands and clap than accept Taylor at Rangers.

22 Jul 2026 07:40:52
Greg Taylor was also at Rangers at youth level before we released him for not being big enough, so I would take him back, even know he played for Celtic, as he would have something to prove.

22 Jul 2026 08:40:11
The rational on here is crazy at times.

People said we had to go for Scottish, proven winners, guys who knew the expectations and the club. Greg Taylor ticks all those boxes, but many still don't want him simply because he played for Celtic.



So, if you're a Rangers fan that has previously played for Celtic, then you aren't welcome. But, if you support Celtic like Scott McKenna, but haven't yet played for Celtic, you're more than welcome at Ibrox.

Is that how it works?

22 Jul 2026 12:50:09
Taylor would be a fantastic signing, probably better than Penrice.

21 Jul 2026 19:40:47
Lots and lots going on guys!

Dragojevic has all been agreed as many handles have confirmed. Just a couple not to be concerned visa issues that will be rectified soon. Don't think he will be announced for game tomorrow but will be by west ham game.

Dahl wants us still and despite the Cardiff stories, is still on course to be announced this week too. Claims we need to shift players first are wide if the mark.

Moves on defensive options also well done the line too. Club prioritising getting things right over getting things done quick.

I know this is just a repeat of a lot of posts so far but is all accurate!

#BombshellComingAugust

21 Jul 2026 19:57:56
Yup you're right, just a repeat. No new news.

21 Jul 2026 19:56:01
Does your Bombshell # align to posts few weeks back about a big player incoming?

Or do you have info on a club change or player outgoing?

Any hints 😛

21 Jul 2026 20:06:09
Lundstrum, from what I have heard, the only thing holding up Dragojevic from getting announced is his Visa. We are currently working on sorting this issue out and hopefully can be completed in the next few days.

21 Jul 2026 20:06:27
Lundstrumloyal is bombshell, player or club coming August. 🇬🇧

21 Jul 2026 20:16:57
Have no idea how good Dahl is tbh, but if we lose him to Cardiff, this shows how far we have fallen tbh.

21 Jul 2026 20:23:55
Can someone explain why Dahl incoming is not dependent on outgoings? Of course it is, otherwise he would've been in by now. And I don't mean we need the funds, it's clear you can't have that many CMs.


What if Raskin gets injured and no one wants to sign him. What if no one looks at Dio. What if Bajrami is on good wages and would rather sit on the bench than move.

21 Jul 2026 20:27:37
LundstrumLoyal, is the bombshell you refer to a surprise on one of our players being sold or a player we'll sign?. 🤔

21 Jul 2026 20:38:21
Blue89, all these players will be insured for most, if not all, of their wages, and if Raskin were to get injured, we would still need an extra body in to replace him.

The only real expense to the club in that situation would be the insurance premiums, provided that the onus is not on the players to arrange this (someone with more experience in the specifics of protection in the sporting world may be able to clarify this).

21 Jul 2026 20:46:53
August? I mean my birthday is in August. I know I'm getting on in the years, but that's hardly a bombshell, Lundstrum. 🤣🤣

21 Jul 2026 20:58:22
I don't buy into this whole bombshell patter. We're struggling to sign Dahl, never mind a bombshell signing, lol. It's been said that the Dahl delay is nothing to do with us not selling to make room, so what is the hold up? It's nothing but annoying now. Sorry to be negative, but I don't buy it!

21 Jul 2026 21:05:56
Forever Rangers, the answer is most. The key would be down to deferred period, i.e. how long before payments start. Given the ridiculous wages in professional football, I imagine clubs will stump up the extra cash for shorter deferred periods.



Given the question here is what happens if Raskin gets injured, we're not talking about a short term injury of a week or two, as that would be unlikely to significantly impact a transfer.

21 Jul 2026 21:09:18
I'm with you, Alba, the days of us getting big names are gone unless they are damaged goods like Ramsey.

21 Jul 2026 21:16:54
As I alluded to in my first post, though my expertise lies more in this sector for Joe Public rather than pro sports, hence stating that those with more knowledge in that sector will be able to elaborate and correct what I've said.

21 Jul 2026 21:32:02
Is the bombshell Pulisic?

21 Jul 2026 22:18:57
Mustcatin love it to be Pulisic where did that come from?

22 Jul 2026 07:13:41
Was talking to someone who thinks, while we are looking for and signing leaders, the Americans may look to the American captain 👀. Wouldn't be the first time we had an American captain.

22 Jul 2026 08:58:29
Pulisic is worth upwards of 30m and his contract isn't up until next year, either Milan holding a possible extra year.

We are definitely not signing him. 😂

22 Jul 2026 09:16:36
I honestly just don't get why LundstrumLoyal states bombshell happening in August, then doesn't reply when other posters reply and ask him questions. 🤔 Nobody is asking for him to tell all, but surely to God he could at least reply to fellow posters asking if the bombshell he refers to happening in August is a player leaving, a player being signed or the club in general.

🤔

22 Jul 2026 10:38:08
Hi, Sir Walter. I've said over and over I can't say much more to protect my source. He's not a striker and he's not a keeper! He's valued at 8 figures and has EPL experience. If people think that's vague then fair enough, but how many have we signed in the last 20 years with that criteria?!

It's not 100% done yet, obviously, as he would then be in the door, but my source says he's more confident with this one than anything else he's ever heard, and he has broken some great news to me over the last couple of years so no reason to doubt him.



I won't post again until it happens as don't want to frustrate anyone further.

22 Jul 2026 11:05:48
LundstrumLoyal, not doubting your information at all, but what would be the reason for this kind of transfer having to wait till August? Will it depend on money coming in for the likes of Raskin?

22 Jul 2026 11:38:14
To be totally honest, not sure why, Graeme! Also, not sure why I've been sworn to secrecy, given how confident he is of it happening. Guess time will tell, but I'm putting my whole rep on the line for this one.

22 Jul 2026 12:51:52
Lundstrum only asking one thing.

Do u actually know the players name? Not asking u to name it but do u know?

22 Jul 2026 23:23:02
Yes mate.

23 Jul 2026 08:01:27
Thanks for that, LundstrumLoyal. Time will tell, and let's hope it's someone who can help take us to that league title. Keep the posts coming.

21 Jul 2026 19:09:39
What's happening with all the fringe players that are supposed to moving eg. Souttar, Cifuentes Danilo, McCausland to name 4 of them there will be more, some amount of the wage budget being swallowed up by this lot, must be a headache for the board.

21 Jul 2026 19:20:00
Nobody wants them. 😂

21 Jul 2026 19:31:03
Danilo has interest from Brazil, McCausland has been linked with a few clubs, Souttar interest from the Championship and Leicester, Sheffield United was getting mentioned as most likely a couple of days ago, nothing about Cifuentes, but where is he?

21 Jul 2026 19:45:38
If Cifuentes and ourselves agree he doesn't come back, and can find new club, do you think we come to an agreement over wages while he doesn't attend his work, because surely we need to have the asset doing a pre season etc.

21 Jul 2026 19:46:36
Heard from a Hearts pal that they are seriously considering bringing back Souttar as Hackett out til February.

21 Jul 2026 19:37:01
Who said they were moving?

McInnes has made it clear to the full squad that they all have preseason to impress and prove they deserve to be at the club.

21 Jul 2026 19:48:38
From what I have heard is that McCausland is being given the preseason to show Derrek what he can do, as MacInnes rates McCausland as a gifted RW player.

Danilo should be heading out on loan soon to Brazil.
Souttar is discussing contract with both Leicester City and Sheffield United and once he has decided which one he wants to go to we will discuss a fee.


Cifuentes has a few teams interested in him but they don't want to match our price as we don't want to make a loss.

21 Jul 2026 19:51:45
Danilo is going to Brazil, and that is now an obligation when it triggers a certain number of appearances.

21 Jul 2026 20:03:04
New Ibrox. DM rates him as gifted RW player. 😂😂😂😂😂 Not a bad player, mate, but not gifted.

21 Jul 2026 20:18:11
I've heard that he's been impressed by Lyall Cameron, who on paper looks about 11th choice. I wouldn't be adverse to keeping him as a squad player. Low wage, Scottish, and desperate to prove a point.
Maybe McInnes sees a bit of himself in him being less fashionable than the like of Gio, Albertz, Ferguson and Gazza.

21 Jul 2026 20:21:04
The chances of Cifu and McCausland impressing are slim to none.

21 Jul 2026 20:32:11
I don't believe the part about McCausland! I don't think Rangers would be difficult to deal with. If Del thinks Ross is gifted? Then, I'm seriously worried about next season. Luckily, sounds like BS. Lol 😂 Imagine that McCausland turning gifted next season, the biggest redemption arc of all time.

No offence to McCausland, but I want a better, way better, right winger than him. Wish him well - give him to Hearts so at least we are giving something back.

21 Jul 2026 20:58:46
Simply the clubs that want them, most likely not in Europe, will wait to end of window and get better deal.

21 Jul 2026 20:59:56
Is Souttar really going to follow Russell Martin? LOL.
