Rangers Transfer Rumours

28 Jun 2026 14:28:47
Rice away to Kilmarnock on loan for the season.

28 Jun 2026 14:53:59
This gives the lad a great platform to show if he can do itb.

28 Jun 2026 15:01:45
Always thought the boy is capable of something, really hope he finds his feet at Killie.

28 Jun 2026 15:45:29
Good move, really hope for him and us that he gets a full season of football and kicks on.

28 Jun 2026 16:13:48
Great move and opportunity for him. Hope he grabs it with both hands and comes back ready to push on. Wish him all the luck.

28 Jun 2026 16:39:14
Very good move for young Bailey Rice going to Kilmarnock on a season long loan deal. 👍 Absolutely could be the making of him, and will be looked after by Neil McCann and Billy Dodds. 👍 🇬🇧 Superb move all round imo. 👌

28 Jun 2026 16:40:49
Not a wee boy anymore. Will come back a man after being on loan.

28 Jun 2026 17:00:36
I thought we'd have kept him for pre season and for the camp and friendly matches, then let him go out on loan.

28 Jun 2026 17:03:32
Killie wanted him for cup ties.

28 Jun 2026 14:00:29
Pics done announcement tonight.

28 Jun 2026 14:07:13
Who is this for?

28 Jun 2026 14:17:08
Got to assume Godfrey, mate.

28 Jun 2026 14:17:25
Godfrey I'd guess.

28 Jun 2026 14:20:03
Ben Godfrey. 👍 🇬🇧

28 Jun 2026 14:20:42
For Godfrey.

28 Jun 2026 14:25:59
Godfrey would be my guess.

28 Jun 2026 14:38:08
Fifeblue, you've had your picture taken and your coming out?

28 Jun 2026 14:43:24
We do like a 6pm announcement.

28 Jun 2026 17:35:20
I think Clarke did well to get us to 3 out of 4 tournaments, regardless of the pathway. The players absolutely love him as well, so he's obviously got something about him. We should thank him for bringing us back to international tournaments on a regular basis.

The next manager needs to get us there and get out the groups. Simple as that, this is very much the same as England with Southgate (albeit on a far lower scale). England were getting to semi finals/finals and losing. They've since gone and gotten themselves a manager who's a winner and could potentially take them over the line.

We need to move onwards and upwards, I think Postecoglou would love a stab at it and he might be the answer. It would certainly be a better watch at a major tournament if we qualified and all the fans paying good money to support them would get better value.

28 Jun 2026 12:433:46
So, thoughts this morning.
Clarke gone. We did well getting to euros / world cup but the performance was just excruciating and embarrassed a nation. How this four manager could ever motivate a player is questionable.

The new manager has a job on his hands and it should be goodbye to some players. Hanley Dykes Robertson Henry Adams as a start. We need a refresh which will take time and don't expect to qualify for a while.

2. Good to see Rice to Kilmarnock. Will make or break him.
3. Godfrey: great potential. I hope he's a success as he got the requirements.
4. Expect 2/3 in this week and it's going to be hard keeping Fernandes.

28 Jun 2026 13:06:56
Agree with the vast majority of this but Andy Robertson is still good enough to play at the top level.

28 Jun 2026 13:49:43
Managed to motivate squads to get to 3 tournaments which is more than other managers have managed to do since 1998 (WC) and 2006 (Euros). Let's hoe the next one manages to do the same since it is now so easy to qualify. 😉

28 Jun 2026 13:56:59
Andy Robertson can still play. Get Alex Neil in. Moyes won't leave Everton, and I like Ange, but we don't have the defenders for his style.

28 Jun 2026 13:57:58
Agree, Angus, not saying it was pretty but abject failure previously, the guy deserves a wee bit of a break. Brought in to qualify and did it 3 times.

28 Jun 2026 14:07:48
The only positive you can say about Clarke and this squad of players is that they got us to 3 tournaments. Better managers and squads have failed in the past, but this one was set up for us to qualify, more teams, 3rd best teams qualify etc, and we blew it with our negative approach.
It was time for change.

28 Jun 2026 14:10:54
Sorry, guys, not going to be a popular one, but maybe Neil Lennon would be a good shout here.

Personally, if his health is good, then big McCliesh.

28 Jun 2026 14:16:09
I think the way we qualified for the 2 Euros allows for debate on how successful he's been compared to others.

However, the WC qualification campaign was awesome.

28 Jun 2026 14:18:27
McLeish is retired, Stevie. Lennon would probably be a divisive appointment. Don't think he would be the worse.

28 Jun 2026 14:19:33
Yes, let's just celebrate getting to tournaments and playing crap, yeah, that's great that some fans have no ambition the same as that rotten manager.

28 Jun 2026 14:24:45
PaulyDon, I know what you're saying about Ange Postecoglou wouldn't have the defenders available to him to play his style if he got the Scotland manager's job, but I look at that another way. 🤔 He would have Scotland playing good attacking, direct football with the attacking talent the country has, and it would be very entertaining and he would be prepared to lose goals with his all out attacking style, but he'd have Scotland scoring a few and his philosophy would be to score more than the opposition.

🤔

28 Jun 2026 14:46:31
Clarke is an absolutely horrible man.

I hate the guy. Not used lightly.

He wasn't successful. We shouldn't be celebrating just being there, no. No way.

We shouldn't be celebrating. Have had better results, better performances and better tactics all the way through his tenure.



He's an idiot. Not a good man manager for me, and that's something u need at international level as u don't work with players long enough, so need that bubble to get them on your side.

28 Jun 2026 14:48:12
John McGlynn would be not a bad shout.

28 Jun 2026 15:23:15
John McGlynn would be good, guys. Absolutely him for me then.

I'd maybe like an assistant who can take over from him in 4-6 years though.

Calum Davidson maybe?

28 Jun 2026 15:30:10
Agree, Stevie, if so called lesser team like Cape Verde, DR Congo and Ecuador can come and qualify and play attacking and exciting football and have multiple efforts on goal, why can't Scotland do this? His tactics were deplorable and the team performed the worst out of all of them. No wonder the English are laughing at us.

28 Jun 2026 15:58:48
Some fans are still thinking it's 1978 and we're going to win the World Cup.

28 Jun 2026 10:19:38
WATP891,

You said a RB, CB and GK to be announced.

RB has been announced and the CB is set to be announced pretty soon.

Any hints as to who the GK is? 😁.

28 Jun 2026 10:41:30
There have been a few linked, but the Croatian from Hull seems to be making the most noise currently, although he wouldn't be top of my list of the ones mentioned.

28 Jun 2026 10:44:02
I think the Hull City goalie way, Butland going other way, is going to happen soon.

28 Jun 2026 10:49:18
Hearing the goalkeeper will be either Ivor Pandur or Radek Vitek who will replace Butland.

28 Jun 2026 11:02:03
Mainstand, thanks for the post, for some reason the page hasn't posted my last 2 posts, so I really appreciate the credit shown by yours.

So the 4th announcement as I reported was to be a GK. I was told the deal was done with Hull with Butland wanting away. I was told this morning the Hull keeper isn't sure on Scottish football.

Not Rangers, but Scottish football.

Rangers have 3 GKs in their sights, 2 of the 3 have been reported. Another one is very close to home.

I fully expect this all done by this time next week, if not sooner.

28 Jun 2026 11:46:05
Watp, you're turning into one of the best on here for posts, mate. Keep them coming. Very good success rate.

28 Jun 2026 11:47:13
Think we need more than one new CB, Godfrey looks to be signing but we are really short never mind if Manny is sold.

Rumours about Graham persist, but I'd be giving him a deadline or we move on. To be fair, if he hasn't made up his mind to come to us by now, then he isn't right for us or him - plenty of time since end of the season to make his decision.

Things have gone really quiet on the Norway/Sweden targets.

I was getting the sense that Rangers/Scottish Football was not seen as the best pathway for young players. Could it be that we have had a good number of knockbacks? It seemed that we were trying to shop in those markets, so I'd have expected that we would have seen at least 1 signing from there by now. Anyone got updates?

28 Jun 2026 11:55:42
Watp, 3 have been reported. Hull, Italian lad and Man United keeper on loan at Bristol.

28 Jun 2026 12:10:21
I just don't see a player that's got promoted to the English Prem after a very good season wanting to leave and come play in the SPFL.

28 Jun 2026 12:24:35
Pierce Charles name persists as well and he hasn't reported back for preseason training.

28 Jun 2026 12:24:37
Hull are looking to replace him.

28 Jun 2026 12:40:10
Akpe Victory still very much on our radar for CB.
JHD still being floated as our possible new No6.
Penrice is still in Glasgow. Possibility there.

28 Jun 2026 13:42:31
Rfc22, if he leaves will because he's been told he's no chance of playing. Sunderland sold their full team last year that got them promoted. Not saying every team will go down that route, but it's probs the only way u stay in the league. Look at Burley, virtually same team and right back down again.

28 Jun 2026 14:20:26
RFC Hull want better for EPL that's why they are talk of him leaving.

28 Jun 2026 14:27:42
WATP, is the other goalkeeper close to home you mention Ward the Motherwell goalkeeper, mate? 🤔 He's a name I heard again today. 🤔

28 Jun 2026 15:57:30
WATP, stop being a tease and drop more hints. 🤣

Love and hate transfer windows as I can't help but get excited!

28 Jun 2026 17:20:23
Strom Hull need to sell players asap to fall in like with fffp rules.

28 Jun 2026 03:00:02
Sky sports saying ben Godfrey undergoing a medical to sign a 1 year desl with option also talks are ongoing to get a deal for hull ciyy keeper and butlannd going opposite way

28 Jun 2026 06:09:41
Hopefully a great move for him. And we go sign Falchener also. 👍

28 Jun 2026 08:17:24
Couple of things I heard today about Godfrey.

We were close to doing the deal in January; however, we opted for Olsen as the final loan.

We've continued to monitor him since.

Thelwell received glowing reports of his attitude from Norwich contacts.

Purdy received the same from Everton.

He apparently took a drop of around 70% in salary to move to Atlanta, as all he wants is to play.

McInnes asked for this one to be accelerated after speaking to him.

28 Jun 2026 08:25:33
Looks like McInnes will give him the opportunity to show what he can do.

28 Jun 2026 08:28:37
As always, EHL, thank you. I have read few accounts on 'X' saying same. Really hope Godfrey is a success with us.

28 Jun 2026 08:36:27
All the clubs he's been at have fans forums. I grabbed screenshots of entire discussions about him and asked AI to provide a summary:

"Ben Godfrey's career trajectory is widely viewed by fans as one of early promise followed by disrupted development, role uncertainty, and inconsistent continuity. At Norwich City, he is remembered as a high-ceiling, rapidly improving defender in a promotion-winning side, with many believing the club sold him at peak value: "We got peak value for him." He was seen as a raw but extremely promising talent capable of stepping into the Premier League.

At Everton, expectations rose significantly following a £20m+ transfer, but fans increasingly felt his progression stalled. His athleticism and recovery pace were consistently noted, but so too was inconsistency and a lack of a settled position, oscillating between centre-back and full-back roles without ever fully establishing himself.

His move to Atalanta is widely viewed as a non-event rather than a failure, as he barely featured. Fans largely attributed this to system fit and selection rather than ability: "Not even put on the field, absurd."

Loan spells at Ipswich Town and Sheffield United brought the harshest criticism, particularly around defensive positioning, decision-making, and reliability.

Comments such as "One of the worst defensive performances I've ever seen" reflect how exposed he appeared at times in high-pressure defensive situations. By contrast, Brondby fans offered a more tempered view, generally seeing him as a strong athlete who simply never fully settled or clicked consistently.

Across all clubs, a consistent theme emerges: Rangers are signing a physically elite but inconsistent defender whose career has been defined less by lack of ability and more by instability, role uncertainty, and interrupted momentum since leaving Norwich.

In short, this is not a clearly "defined" player profile. The main question raised by fans is not his physical or technical ceiling, but whether he can find stability, rhythm, and consistent form after several unsettled spells — including periods described only as "personal issues" where he was unavailable without full public explanation."

28 Jun 2026 08:37:33
Godfrey has potential to be a very positive signing.

28 Jun 2026 08:40:42
Oh dear. If we're still going off Thelwells advice and the Everton / Norwich links, heaven help us.

28 Jun 2026 08:47:13
I posted yesterday in response to Ziko, that I couldn't see us playing a back 3, like McInnes often done at Hearts.

However, with McCrorie, a RB that can comfortably play CB and now potentially Godfrey, a CB who can comfortably play RB.



Also, 2 players with plenty of experience playing in a back 3 as well as a back 4.

Maybe we will see something very different at Ibrox next season.

28 Jun 2026 08:51:38
Let's just give the guy a chance to show what he can do. As ever, we are too quick to write players off (or in a few cases declare them world beaters) before they have even kicked a ball.

28 Jun 2026 08:54:36
No issues about him on the field after his loan in Denmark. He got playing time, and some sense of confidence back.

The lads talked about his two-year off-field struggles. I won't go into them as it's clearly private, but if he's over them, he can be a good player here.

28 Jun 2026 09:04:28
He has bags of recovery pace as well, hoping this move works out for him and us, as he just needs confidence, games and a manager who trusts him.

28 Jun 2026 09:04:45
Maybe Thelwell done better than thought. Fernadez and Chermiti are on course to make millions in profit for us. And Mikey Moore turned out to be a good loan after a shaky start and been written off by some under Martin.

28 Jun 2026 09:08:39
Although Ben Godfrey can play and cover right back, I do think his best position is centre half. 🤔 He has a turn of pace from what I remember seeing with him at Norwich and Everton. 👍🇬🇧 He is a good player. 👍

28 Jun 2026 09:09:59
Kaiser, I suspect the reference is to Thelwell Jnr.

28 Jun 2026 11:07:40
John, it could be potentially a good signing, but can just as easy go the other way, but I will opt for the positive approach and say he will be a good signing. 🫣

28 Jun 2026 11:36:47
We all wrote Fernandez off after the first few games, now look at him.

28 Jun 2026 11:38:58
Think that Ben Godfrey is a big gamble, but if he settles, then we could end up with a really good defender. The talent is there, but if there weren't any question marks, he would be out of our reach.

An option to buy also means that we can keep him if it works out. I'm going to be positive and give the boy a chance if he signs.

28 Jun 2026 12:39:09
Correct John.

28 Jun 2026 12:44:49
Maybe John. Cheers. I'd much rather draw a line under anything to do with that lot. File it under another. Let's hope he can rediscover his potential from years ago.

28 Jun 2026 13:13:24
Nobody is writing Godfrey off but we have every right to voice our misgivings given his playing and injury record over the last couple of seasons and given our record with this type of signing again over the last couple of seasons.

One plus point is that he can also play right back, which means we now have 3 options, so we don't need to sign another one to cover Sterlings lack of availability.

28 Jun 2026 13:44:24
Just watched CJ Novos vid on the guy, it's got Skov Olsen written all over it in the sense, once decent player trying to regain his confidence/form. Is Ibrox really the place for that? Let's be honest, he will get slaughtered to within an inch of his life the minute he messes up. Big gamble if you ask me, but just my opinion.

28 Jun 2026 13:51:20
Definitely a gamble. If McInnes is keen on him, then that's good enough for me.

28 Jun 2026 14:14:30
Thelwell did do alright in the area of bringing in and developing talent, but he wasn't savvy enough to merge them into a squad with no brainer high performing domestic players.

28 Jun 2026 14:21:38
CJ Novo is a grade A banger.

28 Jun 2026 14:31:53
I absolutely agree with you guys regarding Ben Godfrey EHL and John, but according to some on here he's garbage 😂 This guy Godfrey ain't garbage and absolutely has the ability, and if he is injury free and gets his mojo back, we've got a very good fast centre half on our hands who can also cover right full back and defensive midfield. 👌🇬🇧

28 Jun 2026 14:48:11
Coops said yesterday, mate, he's got the ability to potentially be better than Goldson for us. He's the best defender we've had for us since way back in the 10s at least.

28 Jun 2026 14:49:30
Skov Olsen was a great player also, he'd lost his mojo too, remember, let the boy get in the door first fgs.

28 Jun 2026 15:24:38
I meant Goldson is the best btw, not Godfrey.

27 Jun 2026 22:59:30
Luke Graham left out of Dundee squad that faced Livingston in today's pre-season friendly. Ourselves along with Portsmouth and Norwich showing interest.

27 Jun 2026 23:15:36
I think Portsmouth had given him a deadline to decide as they were growing impatient and would move onto other targets.
Would love for him to sign but have a feeling he will end up down south.

27 Jun 2026 23:26:17
Rumoured bid for Fernandes may have our recruitment team pressing now also.

28 Jun 2026 00:13:13
I suspect we will see Clement being linked with more than a few players we also fancy this summer. Just a hunch, now he has a board willing to back him.

28 Jun 2026 02:25:01
Not sure this boy wants to sign for us. There is a lot of chat in the rags saying he wants a move down south.

28 Jun 2026 08:27:28
Weren't some on here saying his family were advising him not to move to us because of how it went in Cameron's first year?

28 Jun 2026 10:24:27
I think, with McInnes in, it might change his mind. I think Cameron will get a fair crack too. Wee man seemed to absolutely smash the bleep test.

28 Jun 2026 13:02:49
In talks with Derby and Stoke.

27 Jun 2026 22:52:48
Godfrey medical passed in Manchester.
Should be announced Monday, loan with option to buy of around 5 million.
Fernandes is gathering serious serious interest. Record breaking deal pending.

28 Jun 2026 04:04:16
The Brondby fans seem to rate Godfrey very highly anyway.

28 Jun 2026 05:37:56
Godfrey was a £25m player only 5/6 years ago, and then moved on to Atlanta for £11m, so he is obviously a good player. Injuries & form have held him back. I just hope we can get a tune out of him.

28 Jun 2026 09:13:06
Yes, Union Jack had a medical Thursday.
That's three players who have had medical there in the past week, told two more scheduled in the coming days.

28 Jun 2026 09:24:20
Hi John, if 3 players have had medical in past week with McCrorie, and now Godfrey almost announced, does that mean still another player to announce that's already had medical done?
Penrice possibly?

28 Jun 2026 11:29:52
Coisty, a player also had a medical same time as another on Thursday.

28 Jun 2026 13:24:32
Thanks, John.

28 Jun 2026 14:49:38
Penrice will be next.


Then from the World Cup boys expect Devlin and Ferguson.

I'm kind of hoping to get a winger or 2 sorted next though.
