Rangers Transfer Rumours

14 Sep 2026 12:02:27
Just wondering if EHL's semi-cryptic message early in the transfer window about Nico Raskin knowing where he would be playing meant he would be staying? Hopefully the message I got a few weeks back is correct, new contract offer was what he wanted and was being considered. Him and Neil in midfield just looks majestic.

14 Sep 2026 12:45:24
DTB, I did confirm that he had one club that he was keen to join, outside of that he was committed to staying.

There was a slight chance that his dream move would come true, and the board requested that he was rested to avoid injury - but it didn't happen.

I believe there is already provisional agreement on an extension, with just the release clause to be finalised.

14 Sep 2026 13:41:26
Ta again, EHL.

14 Sep 2026 13:42:22
EHL, that's best for all parties imo getting an extension with a release clause. Personally down to his age think 10m is fair for both parties. Think any lower we are getting under cut any higher we potentially price him out of a move. What do you think higher or lower than 10m?

14 Sep 2026 13:48:50
Personally I would go higher, closer to £15m as that allows some haggling to take place. He's worth more than 10 in my view.

14 Sep 2026 14:37:27
What do you mean down to his age, he's 25 years old, he's hitting his peak years, 10mil would be selling ourselves short on that.

14 Sep 2026 14:58:22
Come next summer he will be just about to turn 27, unless they are a big club I can't see your traditional player trading clubs we would be dealing with coming in and spending more than 10-15m on him. No one came in with that kind of money this summer I don't see it next summer. Teams like that want players who are 19-22 that they can buy for 20m then flip for 3x that.

Just my opinion, but Raskin won't ever leave us for the kind of money some hope.
Makhana, Chermiti, Kelsey, minsu, Gassama etc will and it's down to their age imo.

14 Sep 2026 14:59:18
Wouldn't be against that DTB but I reckon 15m was probably round about our price this summer and no one bit.

14 Sep 2026 15:02:57
I agree 10mil for Raskin is way too low, but I suppose if he accepts a new contract that's part of the negotiations but Rangers will have a value in mind and looking at transfers across the uk just now I'd say closer to 20 mil is the going rate.

There's players in the English Championship going for over 10mil and his countryman Engels went for a 25 odd to the Championship.

14 Sep 2026 15:56:28
I think West Ham wildly overpaid for Engels but again he's a lot younger than Raskin and they probably think they'll flip for a profit.

No one's going to pay 20m for a midfielder about to turn 27 next summer, just don't see it.
His stock will never have been higher this summer after doing brilliant at a World Cup and we didn't get they kind of offers.

I think there will have to be give and take if we want him to sign an extension with a release clause it has to be an achievable one for him for him to sign it, and I don't think he'll want 15m as could price him out a move and we then risk losing him for F all.

14 Sep 2026 16:11:42
Wishy Raskin only 2 years older than Engels and players usually peak mid to late 20's therefore we just need to find a mug punter who is willing to do what west ham done and there's plenty out there, Raskin is way better than engels.

Agree about buy out though it needs to suit all parties if extension being signed that's what main negotiations will be about.

14 Sep 2026 16:14:20
Ir has never been made clear his sell on clause off 12 million was removed.

14 Sep 2026 16:20:39
We can get 20m for him if he's part of a successful team and is playing well regularly.
If we win a cup and maybe the league and he's playing well week in week out then, as well as being an established international the only thing missing is playing well in euro comps.

14 Sep 2026 16:27:46
The point is, even if we set the clause at £25m, we could still accept a bid of £12, . £15m, £20m etc etc. It just gives room to negotiate, but if it was set at £10m then that's obviously as much as we would get. That's why I think we should make any clause price more than we would are likely to accept!

14 Sep 2026 16:34:03
Ehl

Was the club Roma?

14 Sep 2026 16:36:41
Raskin's countryman Tielemans is 29 and went from Villa to Man United for £35m.

Just saying.

14 Sep 2026 16:42:13
Do the bouncy we are working from the assumption it needs to be a sell on clause that has to be attractive to Raskin mate, he holds the cards now we need him to sign an extension otherwise he's into the last year of his deal.

I'd love nothing more than 20m for him but I am being realistic if we were going to get that kind of fee we would have got it this summer.

14 Sep 2026 16:56:24
I can’t take the Raskin valuation chat again 😂😂

But he’s playing well past few games with Neil so hopefully that continues.

14 Sep 2026 16:59:14
If Raskin is worth £15m then Dan Neil is worth £30m on yesterdays performance

14 Sep 2026 17:08:04
Wishy, he doesnt turn 27 next summer, he's not 27 until 2028

14 Sep 2026 18:10:53
My mistake RR thought his birthday was October for some reason.

Foolmonty I get that and the point I was making unless a team like Man Utd etc come in who don’t buy players to flip for profit then I don’t see anyone paying big money.

We don’t usually sell players directly to teams like Man Utd.

14 Sep 2026 18:28:26
Just Google the fees being paid for established midfielders around the 27-year-old mark over the last couple of transfer windows. The idea that being 27 automatically means we have to accept a relatively low fee is nonsense. Enzo Fernández has just moved to Manchester City for £125m, for example.

And before anyone starts with “but look where they play”, that's missing the point. Obviously players in the Premier League or other major European leagues command different fees, but age itself isn't what determines a player's value. At 27, a midfielder can be in his prime rather than approaching the end of his career.

Raskin is also an established international midfielder with Belgium, so he isn't simply being valued as a 27-year-old player from Scotland. If he continues to perform at the level he has shown, his value is determined by what he can offer a buying club, the number of clubs interested in him, his contract and how much Rangers are prepared to demand; not simply the fact that he's 27.

We shouldn't be talking ourselves into accepting a low fee before anyone has even made an offer. His age doesn't set his price. His performances and the market do.

14 Sep 2026 18:30:36
Foolmonty, He's a much better player though.

14 Sep 2026 08:20:29
Does anyone know if the Penrice transfer fee has been agreed? If not then first order of today would be to get that fee nailed down. l!

14 Sep 2026 08:41:21
Zikos, you will probably remember me constantly saying i wanted Rangers to sign james penrice when he was at livingston, never mind now mate 🤔I always rated him and i remember some on here saying he's nowhere near as good as Tuur Rommens 🤔 I said at the time there's nothing between penrice and Rommens as i rate/like Rommens but i would always have penrice as our first choice left back and i believe he will 👍🇬🇧.

14 Sep 2026 09:02:05
Penrice has been very solid. Very impressive and may not be far away from a Scotland cap. However, I wouldn't be committing to signing him just yet, and it's only because he could still get a serious injury. It's Rangers remember, this would happen to us 🫣😭😂.

14 Sep 2026 09:10:34
Sure there's an option to buy for round about 1.5m. Probably the best bargain we have had since Kamara.

14 Sep 2026 09:40:23
No doubt we have to sign him, he's been a revelation at left back and in midfield.

14 Sep 2026 10:45:50
Fee is around £2-2.5m, with £1m already covered with the loan agreement.

14 Sep 2026 11:00:38
A must sign, but he was after his debut 🇬🇧.

14 Sep 2026 12:14:56
Good to hear the fee has been set and can't move because if he continues in this vain aek would be well within their rights to demand £5M or £6M.

14 Sep 2026 12:41:35
Penrice is an absolute bargain at that price! Fitness, desire, passion, ability. He has the potential to be a phenomenal player for us.

14 Sep 2026 13:24:03
He's been fantastic since he signed. Reading a BBC article about the possible new look Scotland squad and the writer talks about Donovan being in with a shout but never mentioned Penrice at all. I assume the article was written before Sunday because Gassama ripped Donovan to shreds to the point I don't know how he wasn't sent off, he looked like Willie McStay trying to cope with Ted McMinn.

In contrast Penrice was brilliant defensively and was involved in all three of our goals and outshone not just Donovan but Tierney too.

14 Sep 2026 14:26:17
Penrice is a baller didn't realise he was so good. That lad can play his stamina and energy is off the charts.

14 Sep 2026 16:22:34
🤣🤣🤣 Willie Mcstay and Ted Mcmin
Fantastic WSLgers.

14 Sep 2026 16:22:59
Agree Penrice is looking very good.

14 Sep 2026 16:40:07
Chasni I don't get your logic, you wouldn't sign Penrice because he could pick up a serious injury??
On that basis the club wouldn't be signing anybody surely?

14 Sep 2026 18:05:58
To be fair coop every single player linked with rangers you want us to sign.

14 Sep 2026 19:20:58
He's been wanting Penrice for years now Diomande.

13 Sep 2026 22:57:11
Is there any truth in big McCulloch coming in to take the position of Purdy's departure?

14 Sep 2026 06:43:48
There's a lot of talk of it Ibroxonia and i've tried to find out but big jig and his dad John are tight as a drum and never give anything away 🤔The way it should be i suppose 👍🇬🇧.

14 Sep 2026 08:16:34
He's not experienced enough, as discussed on here previously, we need an experienced operator, love big McCulloch but it's a no Imo.

14 Sep 2026 08:23:36
Very highly unlikely.

14 Sep 2026 10:06:32
The lats 5 chairmen say we will employ best in class so that rules out McCulloch.

14 Sep 2026 09:10:56
You heard any names slim Jim?

14 Sep 2026 10:57:37
If we replace Purdy with McCulloch we'll be taking a huge step backwards.

14 Sep 2026 11:27:34
All 100% correct, nowhere near ready for that kind of role.

14 Sep 2026 12:08:55
What about Davie Weir, what's your thoughts on him?

14 Sep 2026 12:29:44
No chance he's tied to 2031 is he not and earmarked for Chelsea supposedly, wouldn't mind him though 👍.

14 Sep 2026 13:29:26
Purdy has been portrayed almost as a Chief Scout but his role seems to be much more than that. Therefore its important that we get somebody properly qualified to fill that role, and I say that as someone who wants to see more ex Rangers men involved at all levels.

Its also important that the fans try to understand how things work and don't pick scapegoats to attack when things aren't going right, I know I'm guilty of it too, because we could be chasing decent people away from our club.

14 Sep 2026 14:11:43
Bobby, that would be my choice as well, you don't ask you don't get.

14 Sep 2026 16:16:40
My star how do u know we have not asked, wire has no intention moving his wife to Glasgow

He is most likely to go to Chelsea next.

14 Sep 2026 16:31:06
John, all you can do is ask, my point.

14 Sep 2026 17:22:04
My star he has turned us down twice and made it clear he was not interested

Once under park, once under the new owners.

Glasgow holds no attraction to him

14 Sep 2026 19:24:56
Cool John.

Ibroxoian brings a smile, what's that all about.

Not the profile above.

12 Sep 2026 12:42:51
Souttar to Aris is apparently off.

12 Sep 2026 13:11:29
What's happened the John Souttar deal is off RFC🤔.

12 Sep 2026 13:18:09
Thats not good for either party. Am sure by now everybody knows the story as to why he's not involved at the club. He will be desperate for a fresh start. Not a bad lad either👍.

12 Sep 2026 13:19:44
Sws, I have just newly read, outstanding financial problems between Souttar and Rangers and most likely John Souttar will still be a Rangers player.

12 Sep 2026 13:57:30
Failed his medical by any chance. Apparently he was offered a 3 year deal, pending a medical, which was today.

12 Sep 2026 14:16:53
Souttar wants a significant payoff and full payment off his signing on fee.

12 Sep 2026 13:04:20
Would be a disappointing development for all involved if true, if you don't mind me asking where did you get this nugget of information from?!

12 Sep 2026 13:27:56
Financial problems??? Have we not been paying him his wages what's actually going on??? Worst come to the worst then he's a good back up.

12 Sep 2026 14:42:05
It's online everywhere.

12 Sep 2026 14:50:33
Absolutely mental 🇬🇧 what happens next?

12 Sep 2026 14:59:53
Saw it on Herald site that Souttar wanted a full payout of contract from us and was told no.

12 Sep 2026 15:10:18
To be fair if club are forcing him out no matter the reason he's quite right to demand his full pay.

Or he can just wait to jan and collect money.

12 Sep 2026 15:33:38
Weneedahero, why would we pay him his full contract because he is getting transferred? So should we pay everyone the remainder of their contract if we sell them? Wow, that would set some prescident.

12 Sep 2026 15:35:28
Can only see an article on Yahoo sports but from what I've read it sounds like soapy is now trying to hold the club to ransom in order to get a sweetener to go before completing the transfer.

12 Sep 2026 16:16:36
Orange, exactly what I was thinking. Doesn't make sense.

12 Sep 2026 16:20:12
If he's being asked to take a significant drop in wages to move, which I suspect may well be the case given the destination, then he's quite within his rights to make whatever stipulations in that agreement that he wants.

No-one on here would walk away from a contract for less than that contract guarantees. Well, no-one with any financial sense anyway!

Ultimately, Rangers are better off either way. Either he goes and they pay it, while also collecting a transfer fee, or he doesn't go and they pay it and get nothing for him.

Given the relationship with the club looks to have broken down it's hardly surprising that he's not just skipping off into the distance for a pay cut. This is what happens when you piss off an employee.

Personally, I'd pay it and take the transfer fee as we're better off overall. Nose and face. Souttar clearly doesn't care whether he plays or not.

12 Sep 2026 16:38:46
Gdog its not Souttars choice McInnes wanted him as big part of the squad. Cavanagh said no way he's done. Huge huge part of the fall out is from the scandal that broke in the news at Christmas time if you remember. It all exploded at the end of the season.

12 Sep 2026 16:41:33
I have left a job for less money and never looked back. Sometimes cash is not worth showing up every day.

12 Sep 2026 16:42:52
Google i agree he has a right to ask for the difference in the two salaries. If he is asking for full payout of his contract and getting a new contracted wage on top he is just being greedy.

He has no future with us and will only hurt his chances of both playing for another club and his country if he continues with his stance. He has been, well payed for doing heehaw this season. Time to move on.

12 Sep 2026 16:55:35
Sorry Gdog not Google.

12 Sep 2026 15:50:07
Stick him out to train on his own, pay him nada and wait till his contract ends, then he can p off, Waster.

12 Sep 2026 15:52:58
He's a greedy person! 😡😡.

12 Sep 2026 17:14:01
Ridiculous comment trueblue.

12 Sep 2026 17:35:19
JFM10, why? i am entitled to my opinion, i don't care whether you agree or not, your reply above does not differ much from mine except mines is a bit stronger, Souttar should be papped as all greedy players should be, end of story.

12 Sep 2026 17:43:31
Because you cannot pay him nada as he has a contract. Putting him to train on his own is not a problem. There is such a thing as employment law. That's why.

12 Sep 2026 18:44:00
If he refuses to go due to those demands then for me he'd spend the rest of his time training with the youth and attending every game to watch in the stands. See who wants to sign him and what deal he'd get after that.

12 Sep 2026 18:53:31
I understand why you feel that way Alloa but I don't think our club would treat a player like that. I think its in everyone's best interest for him to move. Whatever the fallout has been he's obviously digging his heels in. Hopefully it gets sorted.

12 Sep 2026 19:09:14
He's perfectly entitled to what he's due. He's not being greedy. We offered him the contract, whether you think it was ridiculous at the time or not, he's only wanting what he's entitled to. Play him or don't play him but pay him his contract.

12 Sep 2026 19:30:51
Scottish i don't know why its different with football or if it even is.
If I have a contact in a job for £23, 000 and I choose to move job. My new employer pays me and my old employers says bye.

I don't get the remainder of the years contract before I leave.
Why should he get paid up for a contract if he's no longer working. It doesn't happen away from football as far as I know.

12 Sep 2026 19:44:43
If he signs another contract with another club Scotty then he is due nothing more from us. Don't see what's hard to work out here.

12 Sep 2026 20:06:23
Since he likes running coffee shops then stick him in the canteen, he can be our very own Barrista.

12 Sep 2026 21:00:59
Can Souttar be guilty of gross misconduct and sacked if the scandal that came out be proved against him?

12 Sep 2026 21:49:34
Wonder if he'll be booking anymore "Massage" Sessions in hotels down south?

12 Sep 2026 22:08:13
If the scandal is true, just sack him for gross misconduct and say bye, especially if he's wanting us to pay him a years wages and a fee.

12 Sep 2026 21:55:48
He is obviously losing money by going to the next club, he expects Rangers to make up some or all of those losses, nothing unusual nor underhand going on here.

Souttar has a contract from Rangers, it's a lucrative contract, therefore it's up to them to sweeten any deal to end that contract.

12 Sep 2026 22:24:17
If we can break even with the transfer fee then just let him go. It was stupidity giving him a new deal.

12 Sep 2026 22:42:01
If he didn't get a contract he would already have left for free.

12 Sep 2026 22:50:21
If he's wanting a payoff fair play but if he's wanting contract payed in full before leaving he's taking the piss.

13 Sep 2026 00:33:32
If he wants full contract pay off, just give him access to training facilities when everyone has completed there's, he can then train on his own for rest of season, see where that gets him come next summer, can say goodbye to Scotland career.

13 Sep 2026 01:08:43
I'm pretty sure FIFA recently passed a regulation meaning that all signed pros have to be given access to first team facilities and can't be forced to train alone.

13 Sep 2026 07:00:50
So just say Souttar is on 17k per week this aris club offer him 10k per week he's loosing 7k per week he obviously wants his full pay and rightly so. He's on 816k a year aris are offering 480k a year just say so we have to make the difference up of 336k.

If we are getting 1.4 million we will work out a deal he will probably be walking away with a 250k payment if we make a deal if not he gets his full 336k payout. We still bank 1 million plus it's a win win just pay him what he's owed and bank the million.

13 Sep 2026 09:07:34
Wallace that's responsible but from what others have said he want his full wage plus's a fee from us.

13 Sep 2026 09:08:47
I love reading the thread when all the employment lawyers are on. Quality


😂😂😂.

13 Sep 2026 07:37:54
True Blue your comment is ridiculous, you can't ask someone to see out their contract and pay him nada. You've blown your own opinion and argument by using the two very important words contract and nada.

To the others that want him out, something happened we all know that, but whatever happened wasn't severe enough to break the terms of his contract that much is obvious and nobody on here knows what his terms are.

As for asking for a full payout if that is true, it would appear that he doesn't want to go to Greece and would rather wait a little over 3 months for the transfer window to open again or if the club are "forcing" him out the door then he wants to be financially rewarded. He's obviously got an employment lawyer or agent who's advising him and he's perfectly within his rights to ask and we're perfectly within our rights to refuse, options and emotions don't count here.

Do you remember when the SNP stooge went to the highest court in the land asking for powers outside her remit and came away with that infamous line "its just not fair" well fairness and what's morally right or wrong don't count when a legally binding contract is involved.

Rangers have a problem moving on players and that's because we pay them over the odds, when you do that you run the higher risk of keeping them for too long and that appears tp be the case here.

Its Rangers problem not Souttars, as long as he makes himself available or heeds to what is in his contract or whatever Rangers have said to him he's entitled to his wage as per his contract details whether that's a percentage or full who knows but them!

My guess is he's waiting for the next window!

13 Sep 2026 09:16:09
He can get access to the facility's and train way Broxi bear then the C%#T.

13 Sep 2026 09:24:41
Some of the takes on here are quite funny.

A contract is a contract. To break it, whatever the reason (even a football transfer), both sides have to agree to the dissolution. And for both sides to want to break it without penalty both have to be incentivised to do so.

Rangers are, by virtue of a transfer fee they accept, happy to break contract. Souttar clearly isn't, presumably due to him being worse off at the end of it by doing so.

He is 100% within his rights to say no, leaving Rangers liable for the remainder of the contract. And in any negotiation he's perfectly entitled to put whatever stipulation he wants to on the table.

In his position I would (and have) do exactly the same and I don't believe there's anyone on here who, if removing the blue tinted spectacles, would willingly walk away from a legally binding contract that would make them and their family worse off just because the counterparty doesn't like the contract anymore.

And if Cavenagh has been as binary as we're told behind the scenes following a fallout related to Tav then he has to accept this was a likely outcome of that stance. Adversarial negotiations always include the party who feels "wronged" pushing for as much as they can possibly get.

The club need to keep emotion out of it.

Either we want him gone and we pay to make it happen, or we don't and we pay more so it doesn't. No point cutting the nose off to spite the face. Take the transfer fee, pay out the contract and move on. If we don't, we pay out the contract anyway, so logically it's a complete no brainer from a maths perspective.

13 Sep 2026 10:46:32
Coops legs the could 100 percent sack him for what he done but if the club have already made a decision they can't just go back and change it now he is wanting a payout it just does not work that way as I say if it's true at the time all involved could of been sacked easily en less they had a clause in there contracts saying that was aloud and I highly doubt that.

13 Sep 2026 11:25:53
I think the word allegedly needs to be used in some of the comments.

Like any contract, you should be paid unless you have broken its terms. So we can't just decide not to pay him.

However, we can decide not to give him a pay off. Either he wants to move for less money or not. Sure we want him to go but AC may be considering more than just money, perhaps it's about management vs player power, it could be that he believes the allegations and doesn't want to reward alleged bad behaviour - we simply don't know. Who knows what the background is but if both dig heels in he will remain here until next summer, train and pick up his wages. If it were me, I'd pay the difference of what he would've earned vs new wage and pay him off and write it off to poor decision making giving him a new contract in the first place. Better for all.

13 Sep 2026 10:42:54
Gdog, he wants his contract payed in full and an extra fee. we should not do this or it sets a standard. we get a fee but the player basically wants it. aye let's do business like that 🙈.

13 Sep 2026 15:27:12
RFC - so we say no and move on, and pay him the full contract anyway.

What we don't do is throw our collective toys out the pram for someone doing what they're entitled to and what everyone on here would do in the same situation unless they have no financial literacy at all.

It's the expectation Souttar just does what he's told that's funny here.

No. He doesn't have to do that and I wouldn't either in his position. He has the leverage here, not the club, if they want rid of him.

13 Sep 2026 16:00:16
I agree about his right to being compensated per the contract GDog, but it seems Souttar also has to consider whether he wants to play football for the 2026/2027 season - or not play at all.

13 Sep 2026 18:53:25
I am maybe being ignorant here, but offer him the cash for 6 month of his deal and take any potential drama or distractions out the club, keep the squad focused.

11 Sep 2026 17:03:44
As I posted a few months ago once the transfer window was closed big changes were coming. Purdys just the start 🇬🇧.

11 Sep 2026 18:54:53
Nice to hear from you again Fourlads 👍🇬🇧.

11 Sep 2026 19:18:29
A few have been saying this for months, a major surprise coming.

11 Sep 2026 19:40:39
Begs the question, if you can share, any idea on what the changes are and the surprise is?

11 Sep 2026 19:57:59
I see Stevie Smith is going back to the U19s.

Surprise coming in?
I know there's talk of a new major investor in discussion with the owners and board.

11 Sep 2026 20:41:41
What's the chance of getting Edu Gaspar from his links to Koppen at Forest now that Marinakas has bumped him having previously done well at Arsenal.

11 Sep 2026 20:59:32
Good info four lads. Been enjoying your posts.

12 Sep 2026 03:13:01
Let's be honest. We will get someone else and he will be gone next season. Technical director is just a revolving door almost as bad as the manager cycle.

12 Sep 2026 01:54:08
So without all the mystique!!

Is it good news or bad news???

At least spill that because this mystery BS is BS otherwise!

12 Sep 2026 07:52:26
As i've posted before on here i personally know Lee McCulloch and his dad John an absolute gentleman may i add and have been in their company a good few times. 👍 Lee and his dad John never give anything away regarding anything to do with Rangers and keep everything close to their chest and are very trustworthy, the way it should be. 👌

I don't mind admitting a few of us have asked lee and his dad John about these continual links that jig has to Rangers and all they say is nothing at all to say on the matter, nothing to tell. 🤔

I've been told more about jig's links to Rangers by other very good sources i trust and i do think that lee will eventually work in a prominent position at Rangers and with dan purdy stepping down, this i feel might well be the position for him. 🤔

I've always said imo i would want either Lee McCulloch or Davie Weir working at Rangers in a prominent position, but i personally didn't think it would be davie weir, as he's eventually earmarked for a prominent position at Chelsea. 🤔 I think jig would be a terrific appointment within our structure i really do but getting blood out of a stone i have a better chance, than getting info from lee or his dad John on this matter. 🤔 Like i said earlier trustworthy they both are, the way it should be 👍🇬🇧.

Interesting insight SWS and your last paragraph was written in the style of Yoda, which adds to the intrigue 😜.

12 Sep 2026 08:59:49
I would like there to be done truth in that Sir W,
A good Rangers man but more importantly someone good at their job.
Just to be clear when I say Rangers man I don't mean someone who bangs the drum and plays the flute, I mean someone who understood and rose to the pressures.

12 Sep 2026 09:04:01
We all dream of a team of a davie weirs.

12 Sep 2026 09:06:20
Can't share major surprise at this stage v

Re India investor, he does not have sufficient funds imo

Gdog no problem. u call it how u see it


A guest ar Chelsea hull today.

12 Sep 2026 09:11:33
I'm don't see mcculloch at this stage having the experience to perform the role off technical director at Rangers

Weir as said will end up at Chelsea, his contract at Strasbourg is till 2031.

12 Sep 2026 09:56:55
I would love Davie Weir in the building again. Strasbourg have been on the up for years now they have some team really well run club.

12 Sep 2026 10:53:09
Davie is as intelligent off the field as he was on it and a class act. That ship has sailed with him taking a position at our club. Jig hmmm I have reservations lol.

12 Sep 2026 11:00:21
Thanks, good info.

12 Sep 2026 12:13:23
Is McCulloch not only a talent acquisition manager with scouting duties at Brighton, would be a big step up would it not? Yes he's aware of the demands, but is he experienced enough for Technical Director? Love Big McCulloch but don't think he'll get the gig.

12 Sep 2026 12:36:57
Definitely don't want Edu Fork, things I've heard makes him unworkable & would end up worse than Thelwell.

As for McCulloch, he's a talent scout & nowhere near experienced to be DoF or Technical Director, would he be as effective as he is without Jamestown. I couldn't care less if he's a Rangers man or not, I want the best possible for the job.

I wonder if the Brentford scout who join might show us who's in line, maybe it's someone from Brentford who imo are just as well ran as Brighton.

12 Sep 2026 13:06:30
Was thinking Edu as he'd done well at Arsenal bud, haven't heard anything untoward tbh, but don't doubt u, agree about McCulloch though, wonder if the Jamestown thing I. D's a player and he's sent to watch, may be way off though, but think your right about not enough experience.

12 Sep 2026 13:07:00
Not sure if we have any ex Ger qualified for the Technical Director role but I do think it would help to get some of them involved in scouting and recruitment. Maybe they would be able to identify guys who aren't just talented but that could cope with playing for Rangers.

Everbody we sign must be talented but so many of them have just shrivelled under the pressure.

12 Sep 2026 13:17:42
I do agree with you DJB, that brentford are a superbly run football club just as brighton are mate 👍🇬🇧.

12 Sep 2026 13:31:41
I'm sure Lee and his dad love being pestered as to whether he will end up at Rangers or not.

12 Sep 2026 14:49:35
I'm sure you will know SirWalterMcCoist 🤪.

12 Sep 2026 15:37:25
SWS what is it about McCulloch that you want him in a high position at Rangers. What skills does he have that warrant or that you have seen?

12 Sep 2026 16:40:29
McCulloch would be fine as a scout, maybe chief scout if the Brentford guy didn't take that role but not DoF or Technical Director.

Edu done fine at Arsenal as a Arsenal fan also but he constantly clashed with Aretata & had a huge ego, done exactly what Thelwell was accused off at Forest & brought players the manager didn't want or work with them hence why there weren't great last season & ended up with multiple managers.

12 Sep 2026 18:14:16
Cheers DJB never knew that bud 👍 👍.

13 Sep 2026 09:11:13
Should have multiple scouts old heads new heads as in ex players not just from Rangers and data guys get all to report or one of each on a player possible get a coach to go and watch him as well then make a decision based on all of the inputs that's what I would do.

13 Sep 2026 23:50:29
Interesting Fourlads. It makes me wonder if by the end of this year, if we will all be delighted with the changes, or will we still be waiting for everything to sort itself out? I just hope the changes incoming will be long term, and give us stability.

11 Sep 2026 14:24:03
Any truth in purdy leaving?

11 Sep 2026 15:01:31
Yes, not the only one.

11 Sep 2026 15:26:55
Hopefully the next appointment is the right person for the job and is in the building for a long period of time👍.

11 Sep 2026 15:40:00
John - is Thelwell junior still in the house?

11 Sep 2026 15:58:54
Thelwell soon John?

11 Sep 2026 16:03:28
Can we get that guy Lionel that Ryan Giggs was talking about 🙏.

11 Sep 2026 16:54:17
JK - Lionel Richie? "Is it him your looking for? " 👀😉👍.

11 Sep 2026 18:03:04
Dan Purdy allegedly stepped down on his own accord and allegedly was asked by andrew cavanagh to reconsider but he wasn't prepared to reconsider 😲.

11 Sep 2026 16:53:46
Great news now just need to get rid of the other chuckle brother Thelwell.

11 Sep 2026 19:09:02
FFS He's still at the club, not good enough.

11 Sep 2026 19:56:26
I'm sorry, but I don't get the hype surrounding board members and staff. I'm more concerned about matters on the pitch and backing the team and new manager.
The new manager has been backed financially with the biggest recruitment drive since the Dick Advocaat era.

11 Sep 2026 20:14:47
Wouldn't surprise me coops, we seem to chase a lot of good people out, not saying he's a great guy but we have lost many good people over the years, very very demanding and unforgiving club, been this way since Walter left the first time, appears many fans are raised during the Murray years and have little understanding of the times before, now we get people here who should be valued more but we hate them so much they leave first opportunity, not saying it's always the case tho,

12 Sep 2026 07:55:09
I don't know about you TT11, but i would love big jig mcculloch to be dan purdy's replacement mate 🙏.

12 Sep 2026 13:32:53
Replacing a technical director with a scout? Cool.

11 Sep 2026 14:20:03
Don't know how true but supposedly Bajrami's failed to receive registration for his new loan club. So a year sitting doing nothing?

11 Sep 2026 15:03:30
Seems to be true, I was ready for putting it up on here, Irv, flashed up on the betting site i use, livescore.

11 Sep 2026 15:04:55
Irv, he is off on loan and has played four matches.

The issue appears to surround whety due to foriegn quota if he can play league games.

Not our issue.

11 Sep 2026 15:21:49
It's for their version of the Champions league John, can play league games, so he won't be unavailable for a year like Irv asked.

11 Sep 2026 20:11:12
Cheers for clearing that up 🙏.

12 Sep 2026 04:55:59
He hasn't been registered for their version of the Europa league due to team financial regs. They can change the team around to try get him in but he is registered at that club and has played their last 5 fixtures.
