Rangers rumours 4

31 Aug 2026 18:17:54
Hearing we have a potential loan with obligation to buy (MF) and also a straight loan - no option (CH) being worked on by club. The midfield one is dependant on loan club securing incoming and us moving on either Barron or Raskin.

31 Aug 2026 19:01:39
I've also heard talk of a cm on loan. 👀

31 Aug 2026 19:05:55
Gilmore? 👀👀

31 Aug 2026 19:09:44
Fergie time.

31 Aug 2026 19:47:24
He's playing just now, 1872, on BBC.

31 Aug 2026 19:51:59
I'll buy out the local hat shop and eat them all if it's Fergy.

31 Aug 2026 19:37:51
You got names bearsbear?

31 Aug 2026 20:08:01
Name of MF I won't share, as likely to be shot down. The defender is actually a development loan left footed CH from Man City - Kian Noble, but talks very early stage. City keen to loan him out this year, but I think DMc prefers an older head at the back.

31 Aug 2026 20:26:53
MyStar, he's also captain tonight! (Ferguson)

31 Aug 2026 20:26:53
What I will ask you, Bearsbear, is the midfielder in question a wow signing in your opinion, mate?. 🤔

Who cares if you get shot down, mate? If it was due to confidentiality, then fair enough.

31 Aug 2026 20:31:40
A young loan CB from Man City development squad is 100% not what we need right now. Can see DM being happy with that, with the amount of times he says how young we look etc.

31 Aug 2026 20:35:28
He would be head and shoulders above what we have, Sir Walter. The loan market may be a great option for us if we ship a few out, but squad far too big to justify another MF without outgoings (x3).

31 Aug 2026 20:26:02
Is the MF a name that's been mentioned on here?

31 Aug 2026 20:54:24
Rwn, cheers for that info, mate, not even watching it, just seen that game was on BBC.

31 Aug 2026 20:55:40
City should loan us Semenyo since they are buying Ndiaye, I'll be honest, we should avoid the cb as Pussey didn't get a look in at Celtic, & especially one who won't be with us next season.

31 Aug 2026 22:45:29
It's Windass, isn't it?

01 Sep 2026 11:50:07
Please be Billy Gilmour, perfect time to take him back, he's turned into a man and a very good footballer, and he can control a midfield.

31 Aug 2026 16:30:31
More links out of Turkey saying we've agreed terms with Cerny and just need to agree with Besiktas

31 Aug 2026 17:30:06
Seen that as well, just a waiting game to see if anything comes of it.

31 Aug 2026 18:00:21
Got deadline day written all over it when all sides end up comprising.

31 Aug 2026 18:00:38
Think the window in Turkey is open later than tomorrow, so could be a deadline day one for us if it's possible.

31 Aug 2026 18:37:40
RR just now reporting that fee and high wages still the barrier to any move on Cerny. Focus 8s on Cozier-Duberry for the RW.

31 Aug 2026 19:08:12
Reckon loan signing not be buying Cerny imo.

31 Aug 2026 19:08:29
Cerny isn't signing.

31 Aug 2026 20:02:42
Purdy and Thelwill been sacked yet, Twisted?

31 Aug 2026 20:04:54
Cozier-Duberry would make more sense, loan options to buy would prob be a £3 million loan fee upfront, another £7million if we want to buy, that way they get the £10 million if we decide to buy.

31 Aug 2026 20:17:53
Twisted, I've been trying to tell everyone that.

31 Aug 2026 20:27:09
Love if correct, but I'd be staggered if Cerny signs as not only is he playing for Besiktas right now, but he's also scored. Highly risky strategy if you expect to have another club pay approaching EUR10m.

31 Aug 2026 20:29:54
Twisted, I didn't say he was signing.

Simply passed on a rumour I saw on Twitter on a rumour sight.

31 Aug 2026 20:31:46
Unpopular opinion, I don't want Cerny. I prefer Yakota starting.

31 Aug 2026 22:19:09
Seems not yet wishy, sorry for posting what I was told on a rumours site, we'll see what happens in the near future

I wasn't meaning it in that way beef, I'm just saying he won't be joining in response lol

Love when people get their knickers in a twist(ed) not every rumour is imminent, things take time, people far too quick to jump down people's throats on here

31 Aug 2026 16:06:48
Ehl you say there's an agreement in place for Raskin.

Is there also an agreement in place for his replacement?

31 Aug 2026 16:56:25
That may be the hold up Goram. LF I wonder? 👀

31 Aug 2026 17:10:24
Pretty sure Dragojevic was his replacement, can't see us signing more midfielders.

31 Aug 2026 17:19:44
I have no idea.

31 Aug 2026 17:25:36
We desperately need a top quality AM and CB.

31 Aug 2026 17:38:22
Italian window shuts tomorrow, so they'll have to hurry it through if anyone is going there (and, although we could still sign Ferguson, you'd imagine they'll need to sign a replacement first).

31 Aug 2026 17:40:10
From what it looks like, going by the squad on Sunday, it looks like if Gassam stays then Kim Minsu will be used in the CAM position, and he looked like that could work when we played Aberdeen, but we will just need to wait and see after Thursday night when window closes.

31 Aug 2026 17:42:40
EHL, are you able to share what needs to fall into place for the Raskin agreement?

31 Aug 2026 17:43:57
It's funny how we seem to be 6 months in front on all our targets, ie contact made before they come in the door, and no other club does the same? I'd say clubs have contacted our players and will be ready to pull the trigger when all their pieces are in place.

31 Aug 2026 14:37:39
Kelsey Under going medical at the moment. Fingers crossed all goes okay.

31 Aug 2026 15:26:58
Quality No 10 & quality box to box midfielder now required.

31 Aug 2026 15:47:48
Kim Minsu is going to play 10. Hence the link, the wingers.

31 Aug 2026 16:02:25
Minsu can play across the front 4. I.e. LW, AM, RW and ST.

31 Aug 2026 16:06:44
Gassama is getting better, so I wouldn't be against Minsu playing in the 10. I'd like a goal threat signed for RW.

31 Aug 2026 16:24:54
We shouldn't be playing with a 10. We will lose too many games with a 10.

Should be playing 433.

31 Aug 2026 16:32:22
Europe and Celtic, yes Stevie, not against majority of Scottish teams.

31 Aug 2026 16:40:27
Disagree. We've got to keep Min Su in that creative role behind the striker or LW. That's what we've always lacked. We've very, very rarely had a fast paced attack over the years. Majority of the time, it's been slow, bully type strikers e.g. Jelavic, Boyd, Morelos, Prso, etc.

It would be nice to see a fast striker in Kelsy with Min Su behind. Dakota on the right. Dare I say it, but that's why Anges Celtic were so successful. Kyogo, Maeda, Jota. The pace was immense. Now it's our turn!

Hopefully.

31 Aug 2026 16:43:56
Wishy, I'd say elements of Gassama's game look better, but he's an absolute ball hog, far too greedy with it, more than a few times against Aberdeen, he ignored the pass or thru ball.

31 Aug 2026 16:53:42
He's far from perfect, EK, and he's got a lot to improve on. I do believe if he played the majority of last season on left instead of right, we would all have a lot better view on him.

31 Aug 2026 17:03:57
When teams play with 5 across the middle and we've got 2 cm's we'll get beat plenty.

That's underestimating teams and gambling too much.

3 cms is the way to go.

We have tried playing with 2 under Gio, Beale, Clement, Rohl and Le Guen back in the day. It doesn't work.

31 Aug 2026 17:17:44
Depends, the work rate of the three in front of the sitting two mids out of possession, Stevie, nothing wrong with it as an option, playin two up top with two wingers won't work as it leaves us open, but our midfield was not overrun on Sunday.

31 Aug 2026 18:28:01
He's 7 foot and he plays the flute, Kevin Kelsey.

01 Sep 2026 12:11:39
Stevie, we played the 4.3.3 with the ball against St Mirren and it worked perfectly, with the 3 midfielders holding and the forwards doing the attacking. We transitioned to 4.5.1 without the ball, and that should be the formation until we've got them on the ropes.

Then full attack to finish the game off when the opposition players are knackerd. We really need to be controlling games, let the ball do the work, and exhaust the opponents.

31 Aug 2026 14:27:57
Any truth in us being linked with Motherwells Longelo?

Sacha Tavolieri linking us to him.

31 Aug 2026 14:56:26
He can also play lw, was good against us last season, he won't cost a great deal either, Beef, I'd be all for it.

31 Aug 2026 15:04:43
Tavolieri also linking us with Ibrahima Balde of Rodez AF striker.

31 Aug 2026 15:05:28
Would be happy with this if true.

31 Aug 2026 15:05:32
Don't disagree, He and Penrice would be good options if Rommens is away.

31 Aug 2026 15:25:50
He's the one I wanted at LB. Depends on Rommens though and bigger priorities elsewhere.

31 Aug 2026 15:33:03
Would take Longelo in a heartbeat! Find it amazing given the performances of the Motherwell manager and players last season that we didn't try harder to get Askou and co.

31 Aug 2026 16:22:24
Think longevity would be a shrewd signing, I'm surprised he's not been mentioned before.

31 Aug 2026 17:21:18
Beef, I like Motherwell left back Manny Longelo
But we've absolutely no interest in signing him. 🤔🇬🇧

31 Aug 2026 18:35:40
This has legs.

31 Aug 2026 20:34:09
Says who Walter, you?

01 Sep 2026 12:14:01
Longelo was really good against us last season, if Rommens is away, take him.

31 Aug 2026 13:46:36
Decent Source:

Miovski away to turkey
Raskin away to the prem
Cerny agreed
Premier League midfielder on loan

31 Aug 2026 15:07:38
Very dubious about 0-0 with this type of info. 🤣🤣🫣🫣

31 Aug 2026 15:24:57
Agree, True Blue. Smell Timothy there
Cerny ain't coming.

31 Aug 2026 15:27:25
There's about 100 sources with completely different stories regarding Cerny to us. 😂

31 Aug 2026 15:47:55
Everybody was a 0-0 poster.

31 Aug 2026 15:49:02
Or maybe the guys never had info to post until today?

31 Aug 2026 19:45:32
Wishy was attempting a bit of humour.

31 Aug 2026 13:17:21
Rumours at work today.
Raskin out on loan with obligation to buy.
Souttar out on loan with option to buy.
Neil has offers from EFL but it could possibly be January before he leaves.
Nobody has met club valuations for Barron, Fernandez, Aasgaard and Miovski.


Rangers also hoping to move on Naderi, McCausland & Cameron in any capacity as squad is too bloated.
Depending on outgoings, we are looking at bringing in a couple of loans - CH, Midfielder & winger.
Some changes might not happen until January window due to time restraints.

31 Aug 2026 14:28:22
Sacha reporting we are interested in Motherwell full back Longelo.

31 Aug 2026 14:34:39
Interesting regarding Neil, I hope we keep him as I think he'll come good.

31 Aug 2026 14:36:19
Interesting re Souttar contract expires end of season.

31 Aug 2026 14:37:29
Longelo has looked some player last and this season, and, to be fair, I know he's 29, but Charles Cook has also stood out.

31 Aug 2026 14:39:13
Wonder if the Longelo interest is due to interest in Rommens? Was it not Club Brugge who were linked a few weeks ago?

31 Aug 2026 14:39:45
If we can't get a cash offer for Raskin, I'd just keep him. No point letting our best player go to possibly get a fee a year later.

31 Aug 2026 14:42:25
Soutter option to buy? He is OOC at end of season.

31 Aug 2026 14:47:54
I really don't understand why we've not sold Souttar and Raskin.

Souttar - signed extension for what, double his wage - thought this was to ensure we got £s when he left, but now it seems there are reasons he won't go, and reasons he's not in squad.

Raskin had a good WC and is a good solid mf player, and imo would shine in the right team, yet no one is that interested to pay what we're looking? If you look at some of the figures being paid for players who are no better, no worse right now.

I just don't get why no one has come in with the £s.

31 Aug 2026 14:48:06
That Longelo looks a great player - ripped us apart last season.

31 Aug 2026 14:55:00
No problem with an obligation to be fair LM, long as it covers us on fair play over time duration, we have money to bring in what's needed, really need players out door though, especially with less games to be played this season.

31 Aug 2026 15:00:50
P.S. The above came from multiple people.

31 Aug 2026 15:05:00
Hami, he can also play lw.

31 Aug 2026 15:05:43
That's where he's looked more dangerous any time I've watched him.

31 Aug 2026 15:27:55
Not being cheeky, but how can squad be bloated if we bring in loans to compensate for outgoings?

31 Aug 2026 15:37:45
I'd guess we haven't sold Raskin or Souttar for either, nobody is interested in them, the valuations have not been met, or the players themselves are not interested in the club looking to buy them?

31 Aug 2026 15:49:13
Rangers hold an option of a further year past this one on Souttar but he'll leave permanently this window.

31 Aug 2026 15:50:04
Bar, it's easy, if we get 8 out and 3 in, the squad reduces.

31 Aug 2026 16:16:52
We are looking to offload Naderi and Miovski, and we are bringing in Kelsy, so we are going to go from having 4 strikers, one too many, to having 2 strikers, which would be one too few. Again, makes no sense.

31 Aug 2026 16:26:44
No chance Naderi going anywhere this season!!

31 Aug 2026 16:28:14
Dadab, Longelo is only 25 years old, not 29, my friend. 🤔 I doubt very much, anyway, that we'll sign another left back tbh. 🤔

31 Aug 2026 16:47:38
Sir Walter, I was referring to Charles Cook as the 29 year old, I think he would do us a job as well as Longelo.

31 Aug 2026 17:23:00
Sorry for the mix up, Dadab, and we have absolutely no interest in Longelo anyway mate. 🤔 🇬🇧

01 Sep 2026 15:52:50
Souttar sitting on his hands playing dumb. He's going to run his contract down. He's only in it for the money. Absolute fraud of a defender.
