Rangers rumours 4

22 Sep 2026 15:32:35
Not sure how interested anyone on here will be to here this but here goes😂 a friend who's a Celtic fan(don't judge😅) told me there's a consortium involving Rodgers, McStay and Lord Willie Haughey trying to buy out Desmond. And players such as Duran and Hogh aren't happy about being occasionally dropped while McGregor keeps his place in the team, O'Neill has handed in his resignation not just because of recent results but with their summer signings also(or lack of).

He was expecting more midfield and defensive options to be bought rather than the loan signings(who he had no input in bringing in). All in all not a very happy camp at the moment, unlike ours! Oh and there was more to Roy Keane being at the match than just spectating. Majority on here won't really care what's going on in the other side of the city but I myself found it quite interesting (and funny) to hear. May the meltdown continue 😅.

22 Sep 2026 17:20:20
Rwn Duran has only been sub once for them, and Hogh twice so although I suspect they would be unhappy, as would any player, they have rarely been dropped. Hogh has been injured for more games than he was sub.

but I suspect like earlier this season when we were playing poorly there were all the rumours of McInnes being unhappy with our recruitment and the recruitment team and this is the same. so probably like the story below just a lot of people making lots if assumptions whilst the other side are having issues.

if they go for Roy Keane, then very good as he hasn't managed for 15 years and wasn't particularly successful then if memory is right, although that is stretching my old mind a bit 😉.

22 Sep 2026 17:48:18
Angus, he won the Championship with Sunderland in his first managerial job, mate, were in the bottom 3 I'm sure before he came in, think it was October, but wouldn't mind him as Celtic manager though.

22 Sep 2026 18:07:10
Would much rather O'Neil was staying tbh. No wonder their signings were so many loans as surely they didn't view him as a long term solution. Whoever comes after him whenever that happens will want their own players.

22 Sep 2026 18:22:51
My star. just shows how bad my memory is but if they take him after 15 years out then that is probably best for us if O'Neill does go. although I suspect that is just a lot of noise around his comments right after the game.

If our manager wasn't disappointed then I would be unhappy. didn't Gerrard say something as well about walking away; so just an instant reaction to the disappointment.

22 Sep 2026 20:09:24
O'Neil's resignation will be announced tomorrow with them apparently looking at Eddie Howe to replace him.

22 Sep 2026 20:17:59
Really hope he stays. Nicholson statement tonight backing O'Neill.

22 Sep 2026 20:19:52
As long as McGregors playing they will have major issues. he's finished.

22 Sep 2026 20:38:52
Oneill's going no where according to sky sports.

22 Sep 2026 20:52:29
They're backing him 🎉.

22 Sep 2026 20:23:28
Yip they've released a statement saying he'll be backed to the hilt.
And rightly so he's just win a double and is still in Europe and 2 points clear at the top of the league.

What is wrong with Scottish people that we think that's a sackable offence or worthy of resigning.

22 Sep 2026 22:01:29
Angus, that was 20 years ago mate.

22 Sep 2026 22:52:32
Have already fired Howe into the reckoning, but they might have to wait till January.
He has a huge pay off from Newcastle will need settling.

22 Sep 2026 23:15:36
No chance Howe will go there. I can see McKenna going though.

22 Sep 2026 21:18:10
Listen I'm not a fan of Martin O'Neil for obvious reasons but I think he needs to stand down for his own health's sake. Other than that I care not a jot about them or who's unhappy.

Duran has bags of ability and I was concerned about him for both games but he acts like a sulky little petulant child. Reminds me of another Colombian we know.

23 Sep 2026 00:19:45
Howe I don't think will go there, there will be EPL jobs coming up soon enough and would think he'd be top of many lists.

23 Sep 2026 00:54:24
Canter, he's scored a couple of crackers and done very little since, only going from what I heard from men following them.

23 Sep 2026 08:07:52
Roy keane will know getting money out of Celtic board will be hard, he will have seen how much Celtic have to do to stay at top i personally think he is quite happy with his pundit work also would eddie howe be happy to join another team where getting investment in players is a stuggle not so sure not like lennon would probably jump at the chance.

23 Sep 2026 08:51:06
From what I've heard Mckenna is first choice however they need to wait til July 1st or pay £8m in compo that was the reason they were keeping O'Neill for another year unfortunately I work with loads of the unwashed so I do get snippets of what's happening over at the dark side.

23 Sep 2026 08:59:13
I have total confidence in our manager, Derek McInnes and don't care who that lot have as their manager. 🤔 I believe we've now got the right manager who'll take us to where we all want us to be and be a successful Rangers manager that's all i care about and not perturbed who Derek McInnes comes up against as our rivals manager, i trust McInnes 💯% 🥊🇬🇧.

23 Sep 2026 09:18:02
My niece works for haughey and she said that Brendan Rodgers and some guy from the Saudi team that Rodgers manages was in haugheys office in his city facilities building last week having a meeting, what for who knows, but they were definitely there.

23 Sep 2026 11:04:37
Anyone who thinks Roy Keane will give up his extremely lucrative punditry work to come and manage at the scaffold-dome I feel is misguided. Let's just hope they do as they did with Nancy and hold their fire, until we gather further momentum.

Have to say, a game v bottom team of SPL at home on 10th October may well be our biggest match before Christmas- no slip ups - foot down and then we can enjoy the chase.

23 Sep 2026 11:56:33
A whole lot of guess work and possibly made up stories coming up here. While I have no love for them, or indeed for St Martin, it must be said that he did unbelievably well to get them over the line at the end of last season. Our collapse and Hearts s******* themselves helped of course, but it was still a job well done. Right that's enough praise for them.

O'Neill is clearly unwell, the pressure he has chosen to put himself under is not helping his clearly fragile health, and I fully expect him to walk around Christmas if not before.

I have no information on any meetings or potential replacements - my take on it is from seeing the guy talking on TV before and after the game where he basically made an arse of himself by trying to belittle a pundit and then claiming there was nothing between the teams! His voice seemed strained at both ends of the game and he is looking his age.

25 Sep 2026 14:42:27
TBH I'm just enjoying watching the circus while we march on. Most enjoyable viewing watching the Timothy melt down.

22 Sep 2026 09:24:20
A conversation took place late on Sunday afternoon in the bowels of Bleak House between a club director and their current manager. The director said if Martin decided to retire in the next few weeks he would still - and always - be held up as a club legend.
The director went on to say that if Martin decided on this course of action, he would approach his good friend Steven to take over the reins until the end of the season and was confident he would do so.


Now, I'm not a great thinking man and deduction is not my strongest suit, but I am fairly positive that the Steven in question is not the Gerrard one or the Davis one. In fact I would go as far as to say the Steven whose name was dropped is of the Clarke variety.
I hope this isn't a load of keech but, as Sir Walter Smith OBE wouls say, I'm just passing on informartion that I either just heard or dreamt, I can't remember which.

22 Sep 2026 09:52:37
Clarke would tip the Tim's over the edge 🥴😅😀😀😀.

22 Sep 2026 11:03:01
Everyone loves a dreamer lol.

22 Sep 2026 11:12:07
Clarke has stated he would not consider a manager's position at either Rangers or Celtic.

22 Sep 2026 11:50:50
Clarke also said he learned lessons from their European failure, but looking at the World Cup that kinda rings hollow. So I would take a large pinch of salt with previous statements he's made.

22 Sep 2026 11:50:58
People can change their mind Teddy.

22 Sep 2026 11:56:08
Celtic appointing Steve Clarke won't be happening even though we'd love it, Celtic ain't appointing a man that plays his kinda football.

22 Sep 2026 11:58:14
Is this Celtic rumours or Rangers rumours 😂.

22 Sep 2026 12:15:35
I'm sure Clarke would take over at Celtic in a heartbeat if it was permanent, his previous comments would be made either when he was managing another SPL club or managing Scotland and in both instances he would not want to be seen to favour either OF club. Managers don't always tell the truth they give political answers.

22 Sep 2026 13:16:25
Clarke would take over at Celtic in a heartbeat, happy them staying the way they are at moment or even Maloney taking the hot seat but Clarke would get them organised at least, still think it's early doors and might think different in a couple of months time but we are looking like a team who are only going one way and barring injuries to our defence a think this is going to be the start of big silver things coming our way whoever they get.

22 Sep 2026 14:57:24
I think they will go for Damien duff next

Just a wee inkling. I've read his progress by accident here and there and he does seem a decent coach.
Not someone that d be happy with though if I was a Celtic man.

22 Sep 2026 16:56:02
"If"🙄🤣🤣👍.

22 Sep 2026 20:07:08
I don't care what Celtic do. I'm only concerned about Rangers. And I hope and think we have turned the tables and are now definitely heading in the right direction. I admit when we were put of European football, I was one of the first to want Derek out. But clearly I was wrong and inpatient. Long live Rangers.

22 Sep 2026 21:01:20
Haha fork you've cought me now lol.

20 Sep 2026 16:31:00
Hi John, any news on Penrice, I noticed j sit on the turf before being subbed.

20 Sep 2026 17:20:07
John are you the club doctor now 😂.

20 Sep 2026 17:36:10
penrice has an injury to his ankle i believe and devlin injured his hamstring and had to stay on as we'd used all our subs 🤔Dan Neil felt his calf and that's why McInnes took him off 🤔 We've got 3 weeks to hopefully get the walking wounded back fit 🙏🇬🇧.

20 Sep 2026 17:46:33
Penrice was the doubt before game, no nothing re devlin and Neil.

20 Sep 2026 18:00:18
McInnes said in his interview about Devlin and Neil, John, said Devlin picked up a hamstring with 5 minutes left and used subs, and mentioned Sterling was feeling his hamstring, should be fine for our next game except maybe Devlin touch and go.

20 Sep 2026 18:45:09
3 weeks get a chance to get everyone fit.

20 Sep 2026 18:51:50
Plenty if time to next match anyway. just thought it was funny O'Neill using Thursday, Sunday excuse when our managers did same they ran with the no excuses jibe.

20 Sep 2026 20:00:09
New irvger. Rangers review update says injuries as Walter believes.

20 Sep 2026 21:46:28
I believe John 🤔.

21 Sep 2026 10:21:19
Yes - plenty of time till our next league game. Nineteen days. I'll be suffering from withdrawal symptoms. In the meantime we'll have to make do with Scotland games v Slovenia, North Macedonia etc. Maybe I'll take up basketmaking, origami.

21 Sep 2026 12:22:51
Well Walter u said u had heard. So I'm credited u for saying it.

21 Sep 2026 16:14:26
Internationak break probably came a good time for gers for a change.

21 Sep 2026 18:01:27
Yeah we have a few who need recovery time, but we were building a head of steam, Shanks, Chermiti, Yokota won't feature soon, but gets Rommens, Penrice, Naderi and any other niggles up to speed.

20 Sep 2026 15:03:24
Rumour going round O'Neil will retire over the break. Let the meltdown commence.

20 Sep 2026 16:58:25
I really hope this is untrue.

20 Sep 2026 17:22:38
Please don't go Martin.

20 Sep 2026 17:42:30
Hope not, he looks done tho.

20 Sep 2026 18:35:30
Usual from a Celtic manager, any hint of a challenge and pressure they high tail it out of there.

20 Sep 2026 18:51:34
Better hope not cause they'll throw money at a manager now cause we beat them twice, just like when we beat them under Warburton. Already seen them linked with Frank Rijkaard, so they might just try to get every past Celtic manager out of retirement.

20 Sep 2026 18:52:53
Hope not cause next guy will prob want gaurantees for spending January.

Eddie Howe was the previous target that got away so could see them going for him again.

20 Sep 2026 19:01:19
Think he may be keeping the seat warm just now anyway tbh!
Eddie Howe got big payoff from Newcastle, so probs can't take up a position just now. he would want BIG money to spend mind!!

20 Sep 2026 19:07:07
BAR, Howe quit so he won't getting paid anything from Newcastle.

20 Sep 2026 21:02:18
I quite enjoyed O'Neill's punditry on TalkSPOR He doesn't look a happy camper at the moment so who knows what's going on Long may it continue We should've won by more today. 1-0 flattered them.

20 Sep 2026 21:25:04
Sorry DJB but is that not the reason MON is under pressure because they didn't back him so WHY would they back a new comer.

21 Sep 2026 00:15:27
Steve Clark's name being mentioned to replace MON. Info flying about before the game. Reason will be put down to health reasons apparently. Pressure looks to be too much for the old bloke.

21 Sep 2026 08:25:37
Looks like Maloney could take over short term. Cheapest option for them.

21 Sep 2026 09:35:50
I'd love them to appoint Steve Clarke lol!

21 Sep 2026 12:42:47
I hope he doesn't leave but if he does it will create more questions for them, like why was he happy to sign on for another year a couple of months ago but now he wants to retire?
They like to revisit the past with managers so could we see the return of Wilfried Nancy?

22 Sep 2026 08:28:42
Tbh, I want O'Neill to go if anyone is going to pull them through it's him. They'll bring someone else in and he'll need time hopefully that's enough for us to build a lead that they can't over come🤞🏼.

22 Sep 2026 11:31:27
Bring back Lennon for a tenth time haha.

22 Sep 2026 18:14:38
Is Nancy not available.🤣.

19 Sep 2026 21:08:40
Hearing the UB are planning a big send off for the team bus at Ibrox tomorrow. If it's half as good as the last one then the team should be well primed for what it means to us. Battle fever on. Personally I don't fancy tomorrow and I hope I'm wrong but Let's bury this mob as they are in crisis mode.

20 Sep 2026 09:57:48
I have a bad feeling . They unfortunately won't be as bad and I'm hoping some of our players don't get too carried away.
But hoping to be proved wrong.

20 Sep 2026 10:30:46
Gersloon I don't think the manager will allow them to get carried away. He never allowed his Hearts side to do it last season and he's been in this position as a player at Rangers. He'll know what to do.

20 Sep 2026 14:06:28
Had to laugh at that Souness as I agreed - then DM picks up a booking almost straight from kick off.

20 Sep 2026 16:36:31
EHL I don't mind it at all, a manager who's a Rangers man and has some bite on the touchline? If he can get his tactics right he might stand half a chance of succeeding 😂.

19 Sep 2026 17:09:27
On Robbie fraser chat. He will not be returning any day soon. Although the manager has changed a lot of people who turned the other way are still in place.

19 Sep 2026 19:20:33
Hope he gets there at some point bud, the pride will be bursting out you👍👍.

19 Sep 2026 22:53:29
Nowhere near good enough for top flight level never mind for us.

20 Sep 2026 08:41:01
I actually thought Fraser was one that had he broke through at a Hearts or Motherwell he'd have had far more minutes under his belt and would have developed better at the age he was at at Rangers.

20 Sep 2026 09:25:11
It's good to see Robbie playing and playing well. Someone i think can comfortably play in the SPL and don't imagine it'll be long before he is.

20 Sep 2026 09:33:21
I'd agree ehl.

19 Sep 2026 04:33:12
John. Bit of a random one, but was there any movement at all on the boy Tod from Dunfermline? Sure you said we were interested. Did we bid for him at all? I know you said we were in for Fraser too and that was knocked back.

Think Tod would be a smart signing. Loan him out to a team in the league. Hope we go in for him in Jan.

Another I like but doesn't seem to get a chance is Molotnikov at Hibs.

19 Sep 2026 09:05:17
Mladenovic, just we keep watching him, boy will be a top player imo.

19 Sep 2026 09:36:15
I really wouldn't be surprised to see Fraser coming here in January and we move Rommens on.
That would make a lot of sense to me. Would allow scally to gwt mind in the co op agreement and give us a good back up in Fraser for at least 6 months but likely 18 before scally is ready to be back up at least.

19 Sep 2026 12:45:38
Unless he wants to go, why would we move Rommens on? We are trying to build a squad to win things and keep winning things so unless its mad offers or the players are unhappy we should be trying to keep all our best players. We now have two class left backs and a good youngster coming up, that is exactly where we want to be in every position.


I like young Fraser and I think he should have been kept when Yilmaz and Jefte left but we have moved on and the two guys we have now are better than him, so let's keep them and start winning things.

19 Sep 2026 15:21:34
Well said WSL.

19 Sep 2026 18:06:50
Well said WLS, I see so many posts about selling this player and that player it's absolutely Mind boggling. Let's build a squad and get it settled and go win some trophies not be so concerned about being the Brighton of the SPFL.

19 Sep 2026 21:45:22
Robbie Fraser isn't and won't be good enough to play for Rangers.

20 Sep 2026 10:13:21
Stevie, absolutely loved your enthusiasm for Penrice with the Liverpool comparisons and fully appreciate you as a guy who backed the players as a proper supporter when things all looked a bit Russell Martin but I'm not sure I can agree with it making sense to part company with Rommens at all.

Rommens is young, hasn't had a run of games due to fairly minor injuries and I'm fairly sure he has a higher ceiling than Penrice and most of the other players at the club, he could make us an absolute killing if he develops into the players he's promising to be.

Fraser is young and Scottish and he loves the club but he doesn't have the kind of potential Rommens does, I love seeing one of our own performing like Penrice is doing but I wouldn't sacrifice quality for sentiment. Not to say Fraser is a bad player, we just have a 2 far better ones already, maybe Fraser can do a Penrice when he's 27/28 but it's not his time just now. Can't fault you though, need more like you.

21 Sep 2026 08:59:23
Were there not stories doing the rounds that we moved Fraser on as he had leaked teams/formations or similar?
