Rangers rumours 4

15 May 2026 11:14:35
Akpe Victory replacement for Fernandez

15 May 2026 11:28:29
I see we have learned our lesson again and are going to target more young boys who aren't going to be able to deal with the pressure of playing for Rangers. Until we sign some experienced pros and leaders, this club is going to win nothing.

15 May 2026 11:37:23
More projects!

15 May 2026 11:42:59
Wishy, both can happen, is scouting decent prospects off of data most likely won't affect us signing leaders and captain material players.

15 May 2026 11:57:29
Both could and should happen, but under this management it probably won't.

15 May 2026 12:23:12
Beef, forgive me, but we have been making signings like this for years now and are winning nothing year in year out, so it doesn't impress me.

15 May 2026 13:23:48
A 19 year old from an unknown club in a minor league, what are we doing. This is just another Nsiala, at 19 he's too young and inexperienced for the first team, but too old for under 19 team, so where does he play.

Are we loaning him out to Morton or Alloa? We don't need anymore boys, we need men to lead the boys we already have.

15 May 2026 13:27:51
The boy has 15 matches in the Nigerian League. How much data can we extract from that? The boy might be brilliant but it'll take time. £5m being quoted.

15 May 2026 13:56:53
We all said the same about Igamane and look how that turned out. Let's judge signings on what they do for us.

15 May 2026 14:45:49
Need a spine of a team or we will struggle again. Get that right then you can add young players who could make us money.

15 May 2026 16:06:41
He's played 17 games this season in Hungary, Rostosto, scoring 1 and assisting 1, with a booking as well. I'm imagining he'll be coming in as a back up, not a starter.

15 May 2026 16:44:11
Kyziridis, Braga Hearts, and Maswanhise, Watt, and Just are players who are currently playing in the SPL who are performing week in and week out on a fraction of the wages some of our players are on.
Hearts use Jamestown Analytics, which I believe is owned by Tony Bloom, but to those ITK like EHL, what system do Rangers use?

15 May 2026 19:41:33
Djiga replacement surely?

15 May 2026 11:10:13
According to Ben Jacobs Rangers are about to make a €5m bid for Akpe Victory a 19 year old Nigerian CB from Zalaegerszegi.

He's being monitored by clubs in Germany, Spain and France with Benfica named as another club in talks but Rangers are the club expected to make the offer to sign him.

15 May 2026 11:49:07
Very much looks like the type of player we'd be interested in. Cheers for sharing.

15 May 2026 12:08:09
Hopefully we can make a massive profit on Manny and sign an experienced leader and a young prospect.

15 May 2026 12:25:24
Looks a bit outlay at 5 million. Seems we are targeting younger players.

15 May 2026 13:23:38
Won't just be young players, Rohl knows he needs leadership and experience.

15 May 2026 13:26:08
I hope this is another one that we get pipped to, by another club. 5 million euros for a 19 year old prospect is a nonsense. Recruitment is as big a mess now as it was under Thelwell, maybe it wasn't all his fault.

15 May 2026 13:52:54
We need to start targeting players that can play in our league and can handle playing for Glasgow Rangers. 🤔 Surely behind the scenes they must realise this by now. 🤔

15 May 2026 14:10:13
A very odd comment, Wsl, and take on things. What if he goes on to be a top player? I've never seen him play, so I've no idea about him. The club are clear that they need to sign promising talent at this point in their career, because if they wait until they are more established players, they will be out of our financial reach and won't be able to attract them to Scotland.

I hope we have learned lessons from last year's summer transfers and bring in more experienced pros, preferably with experience of winning trophies to complement the younger project players.

15 May 2026 10:34:51
Regarding Tav gate I think the manager was 100% right. However I have heard from a reliable source the manager has lost the dressing room over it. Players very much on tavs side.

15 May 2026 11:16:55
Silver lining then get him gone after Falkirk game.

15 May 2026 11:17:24
In fairness, it was pretty obvious he'd lost the dressing room after Hearts, and then, on Tavs insta post, from all the comments, likes and reposts, you could tell what side they were taking imo.

15 May 2026 13:27:18
I think the manager was 100% wrong as he has been about most things. To be fair, maybe just 75% wrong in his January signings.

15 May 2026 15:04:28
Get rid of players. Clean sweep. Regardless of the manager situation. Anyone in the senior player group for a kick off regardless of form.

Anyone that has liked Tav's social media, out. He probably has seen off more managers than any other player in Rangers history. That to me also tells a story.



I'm now thinking that ego issues in the group do exist. No one is bigger than the club, no player decides the team, everyone should want to win a game of football no matter if the league has gone, no matter if they have been told that the club are open to offers for them in the summer.

15 May 2026 15:52:51
Still can't believe it's 2026 and we still see the "he has seen off more managers than."

15 May 2026 19:51:40
Because it is true, OrangeT.

15 May 2026 19:57:46
Most of these players won't be here, it makes no difference who they support right now.

And I don't think for one second they all support Tavernier, he acted like a spoiled little boy.

15 May 2026 09:50:07
There is a lot of stories i'm hearing and i was told this also by a good few at Ibrox against Hibs on wednesday night there, that Rangers are definitely wanting to sign dan neil from sunderland and make him our new Rangers captain 🤔Has anyone else heard this info 🤔🇬🇧

15 May 2026 10:29:31
He was at the game on Wednesday.

15 May 2026 10:56:19
Was that a definite that Dan Neil was at our game on Wednesday night, RotalBlue1872? 🤔

15 May 2026 11:05:37
Well at least that's being talked about now?

15 May 2026 11:48:19
Just hope so, SWS.

15 May 2026 12:17:38
I know you rate Dan Neil very highly, My star. 👍

15 May 2026 13:29:16
Why aren't Ipswich keeping him? They have just made Akpom and Kipre permanent and he's one we all know is poor, so why not Neil?

15 May 2026 15:32:33
He maybe decided Ipswich wasn't the club for him, wslgers. Lad has plenty of choices.

15 May 2026 15:54:50
He was up at the Rangers in January, wslgers, maybe agreed and stayed in England before his move in the summer, young family.

14 May 2026 21:43:35
Rangers interested in Dc Congo born ajax defender Makio 18 years old current value 8 million euros.

14 May 2026 22:14:18
Experienced players we're needing in defence, Noodles.

14 May 2026 22:19:05
Would rather spend a fraction of that on someone who already knows and understands our game here. Jorthy Mokio is a Belgian U21 and plays more of a DM role, but can play LB too. I believe he is about to sign a new 5 year deal with Ajax.

14 May 2026 22:24:53
He's a cb, played there, mostly every Ajax game including 7 Champions League. I'm not saying we're after him, just he has been looked at.

14 May 2026 22:26:06
We ain't paying that type of money for an 18 year old defender.

14 May 2026 22:35:16
He won't be that price either, try north of 20 million.

14 May 2026 22:59:21
Transfer market has him at 8 million euro.

14 May 2026 23:28:25
Transfer market is not what clubs will need to pay, mate. 9 million euro is Manny's value on transfer market and we all know he ain't going anywhere unless it's well over £20million.

14 May 2026 23:32:58
Why complain about the fact he's 18? Mikey Moore has been one of our top players this season, and he's 18.

15 May 2026 00:51:28
He's been playing CM, so probably a CDM. Maybe a Raskin replacement and sign Watt too.

15 May 2026 06:13:30
We should shop in 0-3 million market max and just have a larger squad and jettison anyone not good enough as early as possible.

15 May 2026 06:14:12
The players in higher price range are a huge risk and often don't have a good outcome.

15 May 2026 08:04:20
To be fair, we paid £10 million on a 21 year old striker who hadn't scored in 3 years.

15 May 2026 08:19:20
Noodles, can you clarify what you mean by 'interested'?

15 May 2026 09:00:08
We paid 8m for Chermiti mate.

15 May 2026 09:12:38
Oh, that's a bargain then GDog. 👍

15 May 2026 09:13:50
Just shows you, though, how far behind Scottish football is behind the bigger leagues. £8m for us is a significant outlay, but buttons for other leagues.

15 May 2026 09:16:49
Definitely, MPH. Chermiti is money in the bank.

15 May 2026 09:21:56
Correct, Me2, and 8m is pennies for a player with Chermiti's ability.

15 May 2026 09:25:31
Hackett, Braga, Shankland, Watt and Just would improve our starting 11. We don't need to be spending silly money on project players when the team needs a bit of stability and experience.

15 May 2026 09:42:54
Yes, I agree it is money in the bank regarding Chermiti and he is talented. 👌 We'll make a tidy profit when we do sell Chermiti. 🤔

15 May 2026 10:28:13
Defenders, aye, right now we haven't got a defence.

15 May 2026 11:09:29
Mate, no saying your wrong but am sure every top team in the world wants him, and he's starting at ajax playing all 90. So he would very likely not ever come to Rangers.

14 May 2026 20:56:59
Was talking to a friend from down south with connections to agencies both scouting and talent management as well as a few clubs. He has heard that we have firm interest in 2 Leicester players and could be looking to take advantage of their relegation getting cheaper deals.

He hasn't given me any names and I'm not familiar with Leicester outside a quick look on fifa lol.

14 May 2026 21:03:52
Isn't Aribo at Leicester on loan?

14 May 2026 21:08:02
Aribo & Souttar I bet. 🤣

14 May 2026 21:17:56
Daka is out of contact.

14 May 2026 21:22:11
Actually got a few OOC, Winks, rb Pereira, young cb Richards, and others.

14 May 2026 21:38:52
One is Harry Souttar.

14 May 2026 22:01:26
Souttar has another couple of years, Albertz.

14 May 2026 22:15:51
Sorry, do you mean one of the two is Souttar, Albertz?

14 May 2026 22:27:54
More Championship players and this time from a relegated team. No wonder we are a mess.

15 May 2026 00:43:50
Fullback James Justin was rumoured to be one.

{Ed001's Note - he is at Leeds.}

15 May 2026 06:11:11
The other Souttar is even more injury prone than John. He has missed 99% of this season with an Achilles injury; we should avoid him at all costs. He has missed large parts of several seasons through injury.

15 May 2026 06:15:39
Wslger, I totally agree. Madness, we keep repeating the same behaviours and expect it to change.

15 May 2026 06:16:28
Rookie managers, young players, nice people instead of battlers.

15 May 2026 08:20:39
Bellshilllad, good info - it's pretty common for clubs to take a look at relegated clubs - especially those in Leicester's circumstances.

15 May 2026 08:21:38
Maybe Ed01 could answer this.
I was told that Liverpool have a history of targeting players who are the best at the club but have been relegated.

Maybe not every year but have been known.

{Ed001's Note - not really, people just think that because they signed Robertson from Hull. It is not a thing at all. They target players who suit their needs, like most clubs do, wherever they can find them for the right price.}

15 May 2026 10:47:28
It is normal practise, agreed EHL. However, they have now gone down again. Think it should be a wide berth.

15 May 2026 11:09:27
I did, yes. One is Harry Souttar. We've tried to sign him before and missed out. His release clause is significantly lower than market value - depending on his WC campaign, I believe this one has legs. Desperate to come.

15 May 2026 11:17:52
Wonder if Vestergard will be mentioned, older head at the back, will probably have crossed paths with Rohl over the years.

15 May 2026 13:33:59
Albertz, I misread your post and thought it said he only has one leg, which surprised me because I knew he had been injured, but didn't think it was that bad.
CR, Vestergaard is a terrible player, milk turns quicker, we definitely don't want him.

15 May 2026 14:00:41
Albert also home grown as came through youth at Dundee United.

14 May 2026 19:43:15
As far I'm concerned he's already away, it's likely been agreed to see it out to the end of season and part ways respectfully

However what's the names anyone has heard then?

Any wee names flying about lads?

14 May 2026 19:54:45
Can only hope, mate. Best way is to shake hands and for him to move on.

14 May 2026 20:05:18
There was an informal conversation with Steven Gerard a couple weeks ago via an intermediary.

Read into that what u will, but would suggest there was already underlying concerns or rumours surfacing around Danny Rohl.

14 May 2026 20:20:39
I honestly don't think you'll get your wish, Stevie G. 🤔 I think Danny Rohl will still be our manager for next season, mate. 🤔

14 May 2026 20:38:43
Stevie, any updates on what may happen with the old store? No doubt will end up a hospitality section of some sort.

14 May 2026 20:44:33
Danny has the full board's backing and will still be the Head Coach next season, and plans are already well advanced for signings. I suspect there will be an interview with the Chairman soon after the Falkirk game to acknowledge the mistakes made this season and confirm their support for Danny.

As always, and with any Rangers manager or player, if a club from a bigger league comes in and makes an offer that all parties are happy with, then things can change.

14 May 2026 20:51:56
Other news, Gerrard is having another meeting to thrash out some final details for Burnley's project.

So, if the board want Gerrard, they better act quick.

14 May 2026 20:55:17
He's completely lost authority in the dressing room. His position should be completely untenable (if it wasn't already). To not remove him now is dereliction of duty.

14 May 2026 20:58:34
My choice would be McInnes, but I seriously doubt he will move from Hearts.

14 May 2026 21:30:16
I want McInnes. Most likely going to be Gerrard.

14 May 2026 21:31:00
Bellshill. 💰
He'd be my choice as well.

14 May 2026 21:40:03
Rohl does not have full support from the board, that's for sure.

14 May 2026 21:54:07
Firstly, I think Rohl will remain, but I'd now also want Derek McInnes, if anything changed regarding Danny Rohl. 🤔 As I've previously said, my preferred choice would be Kevin Muscat, but I believe that ship has sailed, so after deep thought it would be Derek McInnes for me also. 🤔 I think he's exactly what we'd need at this moment in time. 🤔 🇬🇧

14 May 2026 22:19:37
McInnes might be unlikely, especially if Hearts win the league. If he turned us down when at Aberdeen, why would he accept now after the season Hearts have had? Gerrard will likely go to Burnley. Muscat has been on many fans wish list for a while, depends if he would fancy it, but I can't see Rohl going unless he gets an offer from bk home & we get comp out of it.

Personally I'd be keen to see what he could do with his own squad, but I can understand why so many are wanting him away too.

14 May 2026 23:49:59
Walter, I'm not having a pop here and you could be right, Rohl might be staying.

But this end of season is unforgivable in the eyes of the fans.
It looks like he's completely lost the dressing room, and surely by now the board are asking questions of him.



In my eyes I don't see how he can stay on as manager with all this.
But as I said, I could be wrong and you could be right, my friend.

15 May 2026 00:44:56
Jasper, it was meant to be a bar and food place last I heard anything about it, mate.

15 May 2026 00:47:50
Mcinness all day for me too
