Rangers Transfer Rumours

17 Sep 2026 08:51:24
Just reading the club have negotiated £800k fee for penrice to join if we want to make his loan permanent which feels like a bit of a bargain!

17 Sep 2026 08:47:07
I see rumours that J Defoe would like to return to the famous as a coach or manager.
I'd have his as a coach in a heart beat, he played at the top for many years and was remarkably fit during this time, he would be a great addition to the back room staff.

16 Sep 2026 20:08:56
Mason munn has joined Dumbarton on loan.

16 Sep 2026 22:36:33
Good for him. Hope it goes well.

16 Sep 2026 19:36:01
Talking about interest in makhanya earlier, i see the online DR stating that makhanya has stated already that he harbours to play in one of Europe's top 5 leagues as soon as he can. 😲

You can't blame these young good footballers for having big ambitions and it means they'll have to do well at Rangers and give it everything to get their move to one of the best leagues so it is a big win win for us, as we'll get a player giving his lot and a big profitable transfer fee into the bargain 👍🇬🇧.

16 Sep 2026 19:55:52
He won't be going anywhere tik he's had a crack at Europe for us mate.

I think that's what stopped mannys hope of a move tbh was lack of euro test.

I'd be happy to have Makhanya for 2 seasons and let her m go and we try again with the next one.

We're trying to be like the benficas and psv of the world in that regard. Spend £10m sell for £30m.

16 Sep 2026 19:59:33
Sws, he isn't different from any player, mate.

16 Sep 2026 20:29:25
It's good that players have ambitions to play at a higher level, just hope it makes them push themselves to perform well for us to be able to succeed. So many say it but just stagnate thinking they're something special because we're a huge club.

16 Sep 2026 20:45:39
That's the type of players we should be signing. Happy for us to find these gems that we can improve and sell on for profit.

16 Sep 2026 17:47:03
Appears Rangers have appointed Iain king as the new Soccer Academy Manager.

16 Sep 2026 19:27:41
Iain King, the former Airdrie CEO and sun chief sportswriter, John? 🤔.

16 Sep 2026 19:38:17
Yes that's what the posts say.

16 Sep 2026 08:05:33
Was told last night that already makhanya has glaring eyes on him from a few english Premier League clubs ☹️Hearing chelsea, Liverpool,
spurs and aston villa are supposed to be the clubs interested in him 🤔🇬🇧 I hope we can keep him for a few seasons yet as he's got plenty time to go to the better leagues and it would benefit him staying a couple of seasons with Rangers instead of maybe going to soon to a big club in one of Europe's top leagues 🤔🇬🇧.

16 Sep 2026 09:34:49
Not going to start talking about record transfer fees like we all did with Manny last season, but we have to realise that players will see Rangers as a stepping stone these days.

16 Sep 2026 09:44:37
DTB, i totally agree mate unfortunately with the league we play in that's always going to be the case ☹️If Rangers were say in the english Premier League with the money/sponsorship in that league good players we have, wouldn't leave Rangers 🤔🇬🇧.

16 Sep 2026 09:47:00
Why is the first thing we do as a fanbase when we get a good player speak about selling him. Let's see if we can actually build a team to win some trophies.
Celtic get a good player they keep for 2/3 seasons before selling then maximise their value.

16 Sep 2026 09:49:00
He's just in the door and has done nothing yet.

Long way to go before he can think about any of those clubs.

As a fan base, we need to be more chill about these guys. A couple of good performances and some see tens of millions in fees and a move to an elite league.

All the hype is no good for a player's focus - see Manny Fernandez.

Two full seasons of consistent performance, some silverware in the bag, then let's see where we're at with him.

16 Sep 2026 10:16:13
Only passing on info and allegedly both Liverpool and villa had been watching him at Philadelphia Union before we did 🤔 So guys i'm not talking about wanting to sell makhanya,
i'm merely sharing info that clubs are already watching him and are interested 🤔🇬🇧.

16 Sep 2026 10:27:04
Tell them it's £70million cash up from lol. hopefully that will make them leave him alone.

16 Sep 2026 10:30:36
Keep him for 2 we'll be doing extremely well.

16 Sep 2026 10:31:05
Well you can remove Liverpool as they have needed defenders for 3 years & signed attackers instead.

{Ed001's Note - they bought 4 centre-backs in the summer. No idea what you are talking about. It is midfielders they needed and didn't buy.}

16 Sep 2026 11:05:13
The reality is it has nothing to do with what the fanbase either says or wants. A business decision will be made based on what the hierachy deem to be best for Rangers. Even with the speculation and uncertainty around Raskin this summer, i'm glad we stuck to our guns and kept him. I'd like to see a pathway created where we keep players who are doing well for us for at least a couple of seasons.

Where we may benefit financially from a "Bassey" type scenario, this does nothing for continuity, team morale, and sustained success as it is unlikely that any replacements will bear the same fruits on a constant basis. I'd much rather have a lesser rebuild every 2/3 seasons, as opposed to ripping it up every year.

16 Sep 2026 11:49:42
reality is we are a selling side so if someone comes in with the right offer and the player is up for it he will be off.

the challenge is not losing too many key players in one window.

and yes we can't go out and buy like for like as generally that would cost more. the hope is we buy decent with good potential, like we did with him.

16 Sep 2026 12:40:16
It's good we've got players worth them keeping an eye on. These type of clubs will have eyes everywhere though so wouldn't read much into it. As long as folk don't get carried away and it doesn't go to his head either like with the Manny to Arsenal and Dortmund stuff after half a dozen games.

16 Sep 2026 12:40:55
Ideal world here for two poss three seasons and he wins everything then leaves, lot easier to let one or two leave from a winning team and bringing the same in instead of the lottery of rebuilds every year, hope all our players are getting looked at by end of season.

16 Sep 2026 12:48:18
No qualms at all with other clubs looking at, or considering buying, Makhanya or any other Rangers player - means they must be doing a job for us.

My issue is us ensuring we receive top dollar for whoever it may be. Something I feel we've let ourselves down with on far too many occasions over the years.

🔴⚽🔵👍.

16 Sep 2026 13:15:48
My price for him would be £25-30m

Put off the clubs looking at him.

He would however be due to be offered a better contract if we value him in that bracket and I think we need to make that a high priority.

Make him feel loved and he will be happier to stay than on lesser money. Simple really.

16 Sep 2026 13:54:28
We heard all this about Fernandez after a few games and yet he's still here despite the window being open for what seemed like a year and the " linked" clubs all signing defenders. Likewise how many clubs were " linked" with Raskin and nothing happened.

Its great for chat on here and other sites but that's likely all it is. As somebody says, it would be better to keep him and win things for a few years. One thing the new owners gives us is financial stability so that we don't need to sell as soon as we get an offer.

16 Sep 2026 14:18:36
Fernandez/ Raskin, = 25 mill anyone?
Let's just enjoy the guy when he is here & hope he kicks on & actually wins something!
Is that too much?

16 Sep 2026 14:29:43
If I say I've loved the look of Makhanya, settled in right away and has been a consistent performer, can I join the "I can spot a player" club? 😜.

16 Sep 2026 19:10:29
He can go anywhere he wants after he has league winners medal 🥇.

16 Sep 2026 20:01:29
Both him and Fernandez will leave for big money, I'm only interested in them building a great partnership as Rangers players.

15 Sep 2026 18:02:54
Looks like Souttar away, back on, we are about to rip up the contract and not receive a fee.

I thought this had to be done prior to our window shutting, we will know by 10 pm Greek time.

McCausland to Greece still likely, nothing on Nsiala.

15 Sep 2026 19:55:57
Apparently this can happen John, I originally thought the same as you.

15 Sep 2026 20:28:43
Dunno if I'm of the wrong understanding but if we agree to terminate his contract can he not sign for anyone who wants him?!

15 Sep 2026 20:40:11
What I found, multiple sources online.

Seeing that it's off n he's staying, he's owed 430k, took a 100k drop, and the club said no they wanted a 50% drop, and Aris apparently walked away.

Don't shoot the messenger, only passing what I found.

15 Sep 2026 20:42:30
To add to above:-


Souttar is contractually owed around £430, 000 for the remainder of his deal. He had verbally agreed to accept a reduced payout of £330, 000 to terminate his contract. However, the Ibrox board abruptly changed their terms, demanding he give up over 50% of his wages. Souttar refused, leading Aris Thessaloniki to walk away.

15 Sep 2026 20:44:58
Also seeing Aris may try a final push.

15 Sep 2026 21:07:52
I think that's fine John if their window is still open, as they could sign him even if he wasn't a free agent.

16 Sep 2026 07:36:31
If he leaves on a free transfer then he will sign for a Scottish team guaranteed.

16 Sep 2026 07:48:59
So Souttar, McCausland and Nsiala all staying by the looks if things, unless something has been done that's not announced.

16 Sep 2026 08:18:32
If Rangers terminate Souttars contract he cannot sign for a Scottish club as he was in contract when the window closed. I think this is true for most clubs in Europe. He can sign for Greek teams if the contract is terminated as their window is still open.

16 Sep 2026 09:03:02
No it's not it closed last night at 23:59.

16 Sep 2026 09:06:10
dont see the benefit in ripping up his contract if the Greek team were offering circa £1M. just give him the £330k and take the £1M is surely the most financial sense. can't believe we would haggle over £100k and then throw away the £430k, no matter how much he has upset the board.

16 Sep 2026 09:22:24
Fork looks like your correct. Window was Still
L positive imo.

16 Sep 2026 09:23:56
It's a strange one Angus.

16 Sep 2026 11:23:24
I think Aris could be playing a long game here. Even so, it does us no favours as he is better gone than staying. Is it possible Aris will buy out what Souttar wants from us if the transfer fee is lowered?

16 Sep 2026 12:01:36
Port the windows r shut so need to wait till January, or end off may to free Souttar.

16 Sep 2026 13:12:52
Doesn't sound right, more like Souttar wants what he's owed and we aren't getting anywhere near the reported transfer fee would make more sense, either way sounds like he needs moved on even at a loss as it's a strange situation not great for the club or manager.

16 Sep 2026 13:10:45
The plot then thickens then with the John Souttar situation.
Greek window now shut.
Does he get integrated back into the squad for the time being with next to no chance of playing?
Do we buy out his contract in order to part ways now?
Did we ever get a concrete offer of a transfer fee and if so what was the upfront price, or was it a low upfront price with add on's heavily based on his achievements at the new club?
Have to believe there's more to this situation and we now it seems are left with a very delicate balance on what happens next.


Just to add.
First time I've posted or replied since Sunday and still can't stop smiling.

16 Sep 2026 13:22:52
dont think he will play for us, its been clear he isn't in our plans, . so unless we have a crisis and even then i don't think he would play. very strange indeed.

16 Sep 2026 17:02:12
Be interesting to see how the Souttar situ progresses?

One player i would like to get a decent run in the squad again is Oscar Cortes, still young, fast, talented and doing very well on the RW at Argetinian club Huracan, though they have an option to buy hopefully they don't, and Cortes can play on our RW the way he has at Huracan,
You can see his highlights there on YT.
Hes definately back to his best and RW is his best position clearly.

16 Sep 2026 18:17:25
Oh man, here we go again with the Cortes as a RW nonsense.

16 Sep 2026 20:00:24
Hopefully we get a decent fee for the boy and he can kickstart his career elsewhere.

Talented yes

Not for us.

16 Sep 2026 20:41:10
Seems to have no issue playing RW at Millionarios, Lens, Huracan, of course they have quality coaches though,
So were able to get him performing equally as well on the RW, as the LW.
Obviously you could not hence you working at Hearts now.


All you had to do instead of trampling all over another poster's opinion without any real input, was check his former and current club highlights to see he has played most of his best performances on the RW genius.

16 Sep 2026 22:26:08
I think that's my favourite post of all time Laudrup-Hagi.

16 Sep 2026 23:21:02
Cheers for the Banter EHL mate.

16 Sep 2026 23:38:12
Oh dear 🤷🏻‍♂️ let's calm it down lads haha.

17 Sep 2026 06:12:18
Cortes is lightweight rubbish.
