Rangers Transfer Rumours

14 Nov 2026 12:42:49
FOR RUMOURS thread, Ed.

Whenever I see or hear Borussia Monchengladbach getting mentioned Gunther Netzer always pops straight into my head. Obviously an age thing.

(No AI was used in the making of the above) 😁.

14 Nov 2026 13:54:52
Cracking player who liked to enjoy himself.

14 Nov 2026 14:13:53
Yup, just stems from reading the NATO post below.

14 Nov 2026 17:58:13
I had never heard of this fella before, so I had to do some research. What I have discovered about Gunther is all good, would I be correct if I was to describe him as the German Geordie Best?

14 Nov 2026 19:38:09
I always think of Murun Buchstansangur.

14 Nov 2026 20:02:57
Weird looking dude so he was😉🤣.

14 Nov 2026 21:09:14
When u played any German side in those days there was always those unmistakable horn noises blasting out from the stands.
Seemed to go on forever.

14 Nov 2026 21:47:02
As a kid I'd read everything about football. News of the World Football Annual was my Bible - full of all kinds of stats and as thick as a phone book back then. Add a weekly intake of Shoot magazine and that pretty much was me sorted for reading matter from the late 60s up until around '76, by which time I could reach the top shelf of the magazine racks. 😎

Dunno if I seen Netzer for the first time playing against England at Wembley, do recall a glossy image in Shoot and was in awe of the Borrusia kit. Think he set the tone for the type of players I idolised - midfield maestros with an arrogant swagger - and tried to emulate in my own fantasy world whilst breaking the neighbour's windows with my size 5 Mitre Mouldmaster! 😂

Anyhoos for some reason he still springs to mind all these years later whenever Borrusia M. crop up.

14 Nov 2026 21:56:17
If I remember correctly I think he was a very good player but unfortunately I think at that time Germany had an awful lot of talented players in front of him.

14 Nov 2026 22:14:09
Indeed Scrambled, held in very high regard in his homeland.

"Beckenbauer and Netzer, in particular, looked like they were playing in slippers. Any video of their performance at Wembley should be soundtracked by a soft-porn jazz sax solo."

The quote above is from the following article :

Gunter Netzer

13 Nov 2026 09:17:50
I am told that Borussia Monchengladbach and FC. Augsburg are the two Bundesliga sides that have an interest in Ryan Naderi.

I do not believe either is a possibility in January as Naderi had no immediate urge to return to Germany and both clubs are likely to be fighting at the wrong end of the table this season.

Slavia Praha also attributed with interest although I don't believe they are willing to consider Rangers current asking price.

13 Nov 2026 10:23:11
Does anyone know roughly what Rangers Asking Price is?

13 Nov 2026 11:02:47
B. M, Gladbach would look a bit silly if they bought him back for millions only a couple of years after selling him to Hansa for 250,000 euro. And we'd be a bit silly to let him go so early in to his Rangers career, I like big Naderi, hopefully he's here for at least a couple of years but business is business I suppose.

Although going to any of the teams being mentioned in my opinion isn't a step up from ourselves.

13 Nov 2026 11:16:16
Rangers will be looking for substantially above market value for any key players.

13 Nov 2026 11:23:20
Rwn, it would represent a massive step up in terms of league to play in.

Slavia would also represent a move to a Champions League club so would represent a step up in competition.

None of these clubs are a step up in stature or history of Rangers, but in terms of Bundesliga clubs all represent a step up in stature of league.

It would be silly to suggest a top 5 league would not be a step up from the league ranked 40th.

13 Nov 2026 11:40:07
So NATO, what is Rangers asking fee for Naderi, mate? 🤔.

13 Nov 2026 11:41:06
Not be selling if the board what to be successful.

13 Nov 2026 12:01:27
SWS, it is impossible to know exact monetary details as valuation fluctuates and is a matter for negotiation.

I do know Rangers will be looking for a fee far in excess of expected market value for any key players this winter window.

13 Nov 2026 13:00:18
Thanks NATO 🇬🇧.

13 Nov 2026 13:01:41
NATO, Bundesliga is without doubt a step up in terms of the league but in my opinion (like you stated) the stature of the clubs being mentioned are nowhere near that of Rangers, why go to the likes of Gladbach or Augsburg where he'd have very little chance of winning anything and most likely be in the relegation zone most seasons. As for Praha(who currently sit 34th in the CL table) they're not guaranteed CL group stage football next season unless they win the league.

With the Czech teams doing so poorly in Europe just just now their coefficient is slipping rapidly and may not even be guaranteed the 1 automatic spot they have just now come the season after next. Sorry but I just don't see any of those teams as a step up.

13 Nov 2026 13:04:59
Slavia Prague, is that the racist club or am I getting mixed up with Sparta Prague? Hopefully we wouldn't sell to them except for a figure that would bankrupt them . Unless Ryan is homesick, I don't see those two German clubs as being particularly attractive to him.

If he stays here he will be playing in the C.L. next season anyway ( fingers crossed).

13 Nov 2026 15:00:32
the one we had bother with (Glen Kamara Game) was Slavia however I think they are both as bad as each other.

13 Nov 2026 15:18:49
Only two scenarios where Naderi leaves Rangers in my opinion. If Ryan doesn't like Scotland as a lifestyle, or a phenominal offer is accepted by the board. At least that's what i'd like to believe. If we have to sell players to keep within fhe FPR boundaries, then selling Naderi would give us more problems than solutions, because he is absolutely crucial to the system we play, and none of our other strikers are capable of emulating his workrate, nor occupying defence's the way he does.

He's first name on the teamsheet for me, but we all know anything can happen in football.

13 Nov 2026 16:04:33
And so it goes on. Fans getting stauners over how much we might get for a player and whether teams are interested in our players. As delightful as it might seem to some to win the 'we got loads of money for a player we didn't pay much for' cup, I'm still more interested in trophies and would rather they stayed and won things.

Maybe that's just me though.

13 Nov 2026 16:31:51
Slavia Pragues largest ever signing fee is 6m euros. Rangers would never sell at that price.

13 Nov 2026 16:58:32
It can only be a good thing that clubs are watching. Doesn't mean they are close to making bids tho. Hope it give him and others incentive to play out their skin for us. Can't see him wanting to go to teams fighting relegation regardless if in top 5 league other than England.

13 Nov 2026 20:05:20
No players leaving Rangers for slavia unless they are a surplus to requirements. Be getting a major wage decrease.

13 Nov 2026 21:31:17
He's just explained that mate , nothing to do with status or history, it's about the rise in league quality.

13 Nov 2026 21:33:48
Get what you guys are saying about the Prague clubs involving racism but other clubs could say similar about us (and the team across the city) only it would be. Is that the sectarian club from Glasgow 😅. Sad but true I'm afraid.

13 Nov 2026 21:08:21
Glasgowrangersgooner I don't see anything in the post that perpetrates what you are saying.

The post was a conveying of information that was received.

14 Nov 2026 04:37:07
Naderi is ours for the time being, that's all that matters.

14 Nov 2026 09:06:28
We shouldn't sell a striker in January unless someone makes an offer for miovski for me Shanklin is not the answer.

14 Nov 2026 16:29:58
Shanks is a cracking striker.

Play as a 9 he'll score a power for this team.

Thing is he's probably come back as 3rd choice as Miovski sold.

Believe gentles can be used as a 4th choice So I'm sure that's enough to summer.

14 Nov 2026 18:04:22
Third different username, keep forgetting my password.

Anyhow .i think Shankland will be used sparingly and will be brung on when we need a winner late on going forward as a fox in the box type impact sub.

With regards to Naderi, wouldn't be entertaining any bids for him. Although he's not the best on the eye technically, his work rate and positioning are key to us going forward. Would imagine even when Chermiti is back, it will be Naderi and either Kelsy or Chermiti.

One of the first names on the teamsheet for me.

14 Nov 2026 21:33:55
I've seen an article tonight linking Bojan Miovski with a possible move to Southampton 🤔Like i've always maintained, i rate and like Miovski but if he's getting hardly any gametime and with it now effecting him getting picked for north macedonia, we have to be fair to the guy and sell him to an interested club who will play him as their no.1 striker because he can offer a club so much imo and deserves to be constantly playing for someone because he will do the business 🤔🇬🇧.

12 Nov 2026 17:06:41
On X .

West Ham and Wolves interested in Rangers striker Ryan Naderi

- West Ham and Wolves are both interested in Rangers striker Ryan Naderi
- An unnamed Premier League club and a Bundesliga side are also monitoring him
- Rangers have no intention of selling in January, with the club still competing on all domestic fronts and a League Cup final in December
- The 23-year-old Czechia international has six goals and three assists in the Scottish Premiership this season
- He took his chance with Youssef Chermiti and Lawrence Shankland both injured
- Rangers are unbeaten in their last 12 games in all competitions.

12 Nov 2026 18:06:46
I had read Sunderland had watched Ryan Naderi on several occasions this season MPH 🤔 Time will tell mate 🤔🇬🇧.

12 Nov 2026 19:24:20
He's leading the line for the Czech's tonight against Spain.

13 Nov 2026 02:09:00
If they match readers valuation he will be sold, been caught to many times not taking good offers when available, club needs to at least break even over season or we are in trouble, also hopefully Shanklin will be back by then.

13 Nov 2026 08:13:57
cant rely on Shankland. very difficult to come back from that injury and expect to play every game.

13 Nov 2026 08:41:55
Made up nonsense to unsettle a player as always.

13 Nov 2026 08:46:30
Jasp , this is the thing that gets me, been caught too many times not taking good offers,

What good offers have you ever seen or heard is actually fact , forget the nonsense about a French Chairman playing us for fools and declaring he offered anything from 16-18million for Alf, anyone refusing that kind of money for a very limited player would need to have their head examined, add in a club slowly but recovering from serious financial troubles and refusing multiple million profit should be sectioned,

Most clubs who offer large amounts to buy one of your players tend to come back, and if one club has offered big money then you are usually guaranteed there are more clubs watching, I honestly can't think of one single player recently that we have " been caught out not taking offers for , I may be wrong but usually a serious and genuine offer is followed by another, and players offered big moves from Scotland very usually go very soon afterwards, Bassey would probably be the last big offer that was genuinely serious and money shown, talking about it in the press and bloggers blogging doesn't count as big money offers, Chermiti may or may not have been readying for an offer, but listening to the ramblings of a French chairman shouldn't be taken seriously.

13 Nov 2026 12:57:05
Correct Tom.

13 Nov 2026 12:59:48
I would think its a bit early for Scott Parker to know what he wants at West Ham although by all accounts , defensively they are awful so that would appear to be the priority, not another striker . This is probably the Koppen factor being applied .Don't know much about Wolves squad but would Championship football at one of Englands yoyo clubs appeal to Ryan , who knows and we'll only find out if they fork out megabucks .

13 Nov 2026 14:35:30
It will absolutely appeal, let's hope it's a champions medal he leaves us with.

12 Nov 2026 09:48:18
I'm hearing rumours that Calvin Bassey is on a short list of Manchester United signings. Don't think it's a secret they need defensive reinforcements!

12 Nov 2026 09:52:21
DoB all over media. Same re Tillman.

12 Nov 2026 09:57:57
Was told last night, not seen any papers or reports this morning. Decent signings for them to be honest, probably what they need just now to steady the ship.

12 Nov 2026 10:14:49
Both calvin bassey and malik tillman would absolutely improve manchester United imo guys 🤔.

12 Nov 2026 12:17:13
I saw a report linking United with Bassey and Collins from Brentford .They would both improve the current United defence, that's a pretty low bar, but I think that these rumours reflect where United are both on the field and financially, In years gone by neither would have got anywhere near a United team .It will be interesting to see how much they cost if it happens .

12 Nov 2026 12:27:04
I keep thinking back to what Jose Mourinho said when he left about Man United won't have success while certain players are there and Bruno Fernandez was one of the players rumoured so many managers have come and gone some decent managers too and yet they are still toiling and Bruno is still captain now i'm not saying there's any truth in it but its a bit of a coincidence if you ask me.

12 Nov 2026 14:05:58
He's at his level imo with Fulham. Don't think he's the level Man United need personally. If they keep buying mid table Prem players they are going to stay mid table in the prem.

they need to find a way to get back to the same table as Liverpool Chelsea and city. Easier said than done though and maybe bassey might be a stop gap till they get back there.

12 Nov 2026 14:45:42
Man united would massively over pay for bassey they always do that being sayed would be chuffed if he got a move there stupid money.

12 Nov 2026 14:48:06
Bassey is one of the best defenders in one of the best leagues in world football. In his prime at 26. Captain of his club, rapid, strong as an ox, unbelievable passing range(with a consistent 90%pass completion ) he's actually in the top 3 Premier League defenders for passes completed so far this season while playing out from the back.

Man United would be lucky to have him. Inter Milan, Dortmund and Newcastle are also showing an interest.

12 Nov 2026 18:00:25
One of the best defenders is a bit of a stretch Rwn given that Fulham are languishing in 15th in the EPL. Don't get me wrong I'd have him back at Ibrox but if he was that good he'd surely be an Arsenal, Man City, Barcelona, Real etc before now.

12 Nov 2026 18:17:34
He's definitely better than Maguire in a high line, And love Tillman.

12 Nov 2026 18:31:12
He's an improvement on Maguire 100% but it's down to where Man United want to be as a club. Would he get a game at Liverpool, Arsenal, city? No. And Man United keep sacking managers that don't get close to them and if they keep signing players that don't get them near then they'll continue in the cycle.

For me Bassey is just below the elite level CB in the league top 15 but not anywhere close to the top 5.

12 Nov 2026 19:08:30
Foolmonty how can he get to the teams you mentioned without being sold to one of them 😂. Make it make sense.

12 Nov 2026 19:25:45
Bassey he improved his game massively since being a Rangers player, one of better left footed cb's in the league.

12 Nov 2026 20:32:11
I'm sorry, but Manchester United just isn't as big a club as it once was, and I genuinely think that in 5–10 years their global standing will diminish even further if something doesn't change. What kid growing up today, watching Barcelona, PSG and Real Madrid, is going to turn around and say, "Dad, can I have a Manchester United shirt? " They'll always be a massive club because of their history and fanbase, but being one of the biggest clubs in the world is a different story.

If they go another 10 years without winning anything major, I honestly don't see how they maintain that status. The damage is already being done, and it's the next generation of supporters they should be worried about.

12 Nov 2026 23:15:01
Foolmonty, they're 15th because of lack of goals. They've conceded less goals than Man City who are in 3rd🤷. So do teams such as Arsenal, Real Madrid etc never sign players who are 26yrs old or over that are playing with teams such as Fulham? Start of the season Arsenal bought 28yr old Guimaraes from Newcastle and 29yr old Konsa from Villa.

Saying he'd already be at a top club doesn't really hold up. Those top teams you've mentioned buy players of all ages from lesser teams on a regular basis.

13 Nov 2026 13:10:05
I think there is no doubt Bassey would bring something others don't have in that Man United defence and he would be first pick He has pace and physicality and a great attitude but whether he could make a difference playing alongside guys like Yorro , Dalot , McGuire , Heaven and of course Martinez is doubtful .More likely that he would get dragged down to their level .

Your point about buying experience is absolutely correct and is amazing to think they paid the same amount for the young boy Yorro as Arsenal paid for Konsa , an experienced England international. Its like so many clubs , including us , scattergun recruitment soon has a negative affect on the team .

13 Nov 2026 14:31:03
I've no doubt Bassey could play with Liverpool, Arsenal, Man City, Chelsea. At this moment I rate him better than VVD. He's quick, incredibly strong and can pass a ball. What's not to like?

13 Nov 2026 17:39:14
So what happened to Bassey at Ajax??

A team with great pedigree and history.

I'm trying to make it make sense here! 😂.

14 Nov 2026 01:44:21
Foolmonty, Ajax was a mess, would you not be better judging Bassey in the best league in the world? again one of the better left footed cb in that league, Bassey now and Bassey as a Rangers player ain't the same Bassey, improved vastly over the last few seasons.

12 Nov 2026 08:57:33
Anyone any info on Cortes situation. i'm hearing mixed things with some saying they will take up the option and others saying he will return January.

12 Nov 2026 10:54:00
His club have financial problems.

They've never paid that for a player before I believe.

8 players due up to leave this summer so a lot going on for them

We may knock the deal back now though.

12 Nov 2026 11:55:23
Said at the time would be a disaster of a signing , injury prone on loan and we still sign
Him then put him away again , awful awful transfer.

12 Nov 2026 12:22:39
Huracan will not take up the option.

12 Nov 2026 12:23:49
He's just been recalled to the Columbia squad so he must have found some form .Maybe it will work out not too bad and somebody will want to buy him.
I wouldn't disagree that we probably shouldn't have signed him but he wasn't injury prone when he was on loan , he picked up a bad injury on the plastic at Rugby Park , certainly wasn't the first or the last to do that, when he was starting to play well for us .Ideally we should have extended his loan the following season to check his fitness.

but maybe his club wouldn't agree to that . I have to say before his injury he looked a better player than Gassama on that left wing .

12 Nov 2026 13:14:50
This boy could just be the best winger at Ibrox, given the opportunity, imo.

12 Nov 2026 14:47:23
I would move him on that being sayed we never bring a player back from loan.

12 Nov 2026 19:29:04
Cortes said he wants back in European football, I'd be giving him another shot, we won't be long in finding out anyway.

10 Nov 2026 21:01:00
I see Mark Hateley saying on the Rangers review that he had a good pep talk with Ryan Naderi 👍Big hateley rates Naderi highly and undoubtedly thinks his best position is a centre forward and playing between the sticks as opposed to anywhere else 🤔He also thinks McInnes will have his work cut out keeping Naderi at Rangers and that there will be plenty of interest in him ☹️🇬🇧 I know we bought Naderi for £4.75million from Hansa Rostock which was a big outlay for a striker playing in the German 3rd tier, but i wonder what we'd value Naderi at now, if clubs were to show interest in him 🤔🇬🇧.

10 Nov 2026 21:16:31
Realistically £10million.

10 Nov 2026 22:31:00
I think if he plays the way he is the now 15-20million by the end of the season I don't think any of our player will be for sale until the summer endless stupid money is offered.

11 Nov 2026 05:59:56
Here we go.

11 Nov 2026 07:01:50
Here we go with the crazy high values despite the fact we never come anywhere close the the fees suggested on here. Sorry but given the fact we massively overpaid for him I'd say he's only just coming close to being the price we paid. If we'd paid his value we'd be saying he's a £5m striker at best at the moment.

11 Nov 2026 07:53:56
i would say 2 million they way Rangers go about their business.

11 Nov 2026 09:41:23
Why do we always need to hawk our players why not ask how many trophies you think Naderi is going win with us.

11 Nov 2026 09:58:18
This place is bonkers at times.

11 Nov 2026 10:59:12
WishyBear, agreed 💯 % there are 1 or 2 on here who have players who have just arrived for peanuts, suddenly 10, 15, 20 mill players!!
It's NUTS! can we remind those people, we have won NOTHING, are out of Europe, & it's one of the poorest leagues in European football.


& STILL sit behind one of the poorest Celtic teams in a while!
Reality can be painful, once you remove the blue tinted.

11 Nov 2026 12:44:31
I love Big Ryan and everything he brings but its hard to see him being ready for a step up to one of the big leagues by the end of his season. He has raw potential and if he keeps developing he might make it in a couple of seasons. Look at Woltemade at Newcastle , he was the big thing at the Euro U21s but after a good start he showed he just wasn't ready and that his style didn't fit in England .

If he keeps playing well and scoring goals for us then he might get a move in a season or so probably at double what we paid for him at best.

11 Nov 2026 12:50:18
Naderi will go straight to the top in German Bundesliga, blah, blah, no stepping stone required, blah, blah, be a record few for a striker from Scotland, blah, blah.
Can we not just learn to enjoy players whilst they are Rangers?
And hope that they can fire us to titles and cups?
Because I'll be honest - I don't give 2 hoots about what a player may achieve in the game once they leave Rangers.


It's irrelevant to me as a Rangers fan.

11 Nov 2026 12:55:23
He is doing well, but he needs to be assessed after completing a full season and consistent performances across a whole season, e. g goals and assists at the end of the season and whether he has winners' medals. I'd rather keep him and sell other players.

EHL has suggested we need to sell in the Jan window. I wouldn't be selling him at the moment; there are plenty of others that I'd be selling first. However, transfers don't work that way - you can only make a decision if someone bids for a player. A lot will depend on whether we sell others to make up the circa £10m needed, whether we can accept an acceptable bid and the availability of striking options for the remainder of the season.

The summer window will be interesting as our model means selling a couple of players at a very good profit and buy-ing in prospects at a lower fee. That hasn't happened yet so will be interesting how that goes but the best way is to win trophies!

11 Nov 2026 13:31:47
Hoth, and the man in charge said we don't, I know who I'm listening to.

11 Nov 2026 14:44:49
Wishy were a selling club now mate.

No player will be kept beyond a reasonable bid.

We need to get used to that idea mate.

11 Nov 2026 14:57:09
Stevie, just the same as every club on the planet, except a few, mate, but Cavenagh reassured us nobody will be sold in January unless for crazy fee's, just like McInnes, I don't think he was talking about Raskin as he probably thought he'd be away in the summer, scaremongering is all I'm seeing a couple of days ago, not just Celtic fans bleeding fear as we have our own.

11 Nov 2026 15:45:29
Bar it's how much we would be willing to sell for mate do you seriously think we would take under £10million for him?

11 Nov 2026 15:53:17
Loving the post, MPH 👏

My own thoughts exactly re once a player leaves Ibrox - no real interest whatsoever.

11 Nov 2026 15:55:26
I had a quid on " rates him very highly " being the most quoted thing in here, I went for 40,000, turns out it's around 100,000 times, and about 40 times a month for years and years, almost every single player ever played or even associated in possibly signing for Rangers has at least 5 people who " rate him very highly"
Around 50% even " rate/like every player associated.

It's about quality and right now it's extremely unlikely that Naderi is ever going to see the inside of the world's leading clubs , he is a trier , never ever close to coisty or even Durie or Hately , Flecky, John McDonald Colin Stein, Parlane, or dozens before him, I would be extremely shocked if Hately said, nah, don't rate the guy , wouldn't you mate?

11 Nov 2026 16:53:24
Beale it's fair enough saying we won't sell in January but if someone bids say £12m for manny he'll be off.

I even reckon Raskin would be sold in January if we got £15m bids.

11 Nov 2026 16:58:12
Stevie I know we are a selling club but the first thing i do when we get a good player is not obsess about how much money we will get for them, it's think hopefully they will be part of a team that wins trophies for us and then inevitably they will move on after delivering that.

It's so tiresome seeing these posts day after day we won't have any players left if some get there way.

11 Nov 2026 17:02:19
Stevie, I'm only repeating what our owner and manager has already said mate, so let's sell a few when still in the hunt for the league, just can't see that happening, got someone wanting Sterling's 1m salary off the budget in January, only one word that can be used for that, madness.

11 Nov 2026 17:19:08
Maybe just as well SWS isn't the manager or he'd sell all our players!! 😂😂😂.

11 Nov 2026 17:23:11
I value Naderi at £15m just now.

11 Nov 2026 17:33:45
Stevie that will help cover significant addons and 20% dell on then.

11 Nov 2026 18:00:03
Just let the boy play. The fees will come if they're successful.

11 Nov 2026 18:53:35
Correct Rabbi, let them concentrate on winning trophies.

11 Nov 2026 19:21:41
I genuinely hope all our quality players stay but unfortunately and more so in Scottish football money talks and we're a selling club who will sell for a decent amount of money/profit. 🤔 Our 2 young centre halfs Fernandez and makhanya for me are absolutely the best 2 centre halfs in our league and i wouldn't swap them for anyone currently playing in Scotland 🤔🇬🇧.

11 Nov 2026 19:30:43
Good post MPH.

11 Nov 2026 20:12:08
Who's significant add ons John?

Manny's? Or Naderi?

I'm assuming u mean mannys due to the timestamp on your post

20% on profit is part n parcel of deals now for us John so we can't grumble when it comes to the fee.

In terms of add ONS I doubt Manny's total fee will reach more than £5m , unless you're any the wiser and can explain?

Sws, many will move on, but not in January.

11 Nov 2026 21:31:53
Agree MPH - First sign of a player being successful at Rangers , we as a fanbase are looking for a substantial transfer fee as we are seeing with Naderi.
Yes we have a player trading model but let's enjoy the moment when they pull on THE FAMOUS BLUE JERSEY.

11 Nov 2026 22:31:05
Rfc22, there is no one anywhere offering 10 mill for him in January .
IF we win the League (BIG IF as yet), we may get an offer of 10 mil +" future sell on deal, in the summer.
BUT can't see it happening this year tbh!.

12 Nov 2026 08:11:45
Stevie given the thread is about Naderi , I'd say it's obvious

My post is after yours.

12 Nov 2026 13:58:20
John my first comment on this thread was about £12m for manny. So not so obvious when you're reply was To me pal 👍🏻

In terms of Naderi I said he'd be worth around £15m at the minute.

U say that will cover his fee and add ons?

I seriously doubt that John.

He cost us €4.75 I believe so please enlighten us with you're inside knowledge as to how that adds up to £15m please.

Are we any closer to signing a new set piece coach? I know DM wanted more from set pieces so it makes sense to replace Fry / Ireland.

10 Nov 2026 18:31:42
We could definitely do with one super1872. I can't remember the last time we scored from a set piece.

10 Nov 2026 19:13:35
Kelsy scored off a corner v St Johnstone at Ibrox and Makhanya off a free kick at Tynecastle against Hearts .Hope that helps your memory.

10 Nov 2026 20:49:31
A'm i alone in thinking that if you need a specialist to sort out who does what during a set piece is absolutely nuts. What are all the coaches already there getting used for? bib hander ooters and cone placers?
There must be around 40 men training all week players and coaches who are mostly all experienced in the art of playing football and clubs can not come up with a solution between all those folk putting their knowledge together.

10 Nov 2026 20:58:38
I'm sure del wants control over set pieces.

11 Nov 2026 08:24:58
I would hazard a guess that at the moment the team are spending most of the time on the grass working on trying to bed in the system.

Typically set piece coaches look for around 20-30% of the time with the team, so it's a big demand amd maybe not something that DM is prioritising until the core set up is bedded in.

11 Nov 2026 09:35:52
how is it we need so long on our system to bed it in yet opponents can play to our system after 1 game?

11 Nov 2026 11:02:50
Back in the day, it was common for the 'talented' players in the team to arrange play at free kicks etc,
A lot of these guys play Internatial football, do they not pick up any hints/tips when they are away.??

11 Nov 2026 11:27:50
Geese, impossible to say from the outside, however I'm assuming they are still working on bedding it it based on what I see when I watch us.

I could be wrong though, we might have nailed it and what we see at the weekend is exactly what DM wants to see.

11 Nov 2026 12:51:42
Its probably true to say that current coaches and the players themselves could sort out dead ball routines but its undeniable that good set piece routines can have a major impact on goals scored nowadays . Look at Arsenal last season and even us during that spell under Rohl when Fry came in . We had been bemoaning our lack of threat under previous coaches and then it all changed .If other clubs see it as an advantage in the modern game we should not just be leaving it to chance and therefore be at a disadvantage.

We could do it like Gerrard did, have a coach with a dual role ie set pieces as part of his remit but we need to get it sorted. Our delivery from a variety of players has been terrible all season.

11 Nov 2026 14:04:26
Watching our set pieces, especially corners, is so frustrating. The failure to get past the first defender is mind blowing! It's not just us though, I see it week in week out watching MOTD etc.

It's not the thing that frustrates me most though, that would be seeing strikers especially being clear through on goal then shooting straight down the middle, invariably where the goalie is standing! Absolutely boils ma p1sh to see players doing that.

Since set-piece coach Scott Fry joined Rangers in mid-November 2025, the team's output from dead-ball situations has seen a notable increase:
• League Set-Piece Goals (Early Stint): In his first 10 league matches following his appointment, Rangers scored 7 league goals from corners/set-pieces (more than any other side in that stretch).
• Overall Set-Piece Tally: During that initial run into early 2026, Rangers accumulated 12 total set-piece goals in the Scottish Premiership, ranking high in the division alongside teams like Hearts and Dundee United.


• Key Beneficiaries: Defender Emmanuel Fernandez was a primary recipient of Fry's set-piece routines, scoring multiple goals (including several crucial single-goal match-winners
Interesting stats and was replaced by Simon Ireland who I believe has also left the club.
A set piece coach is a valuable member of the coaching staff, and does anyone know if we are any closer to appointing one?

Why's it always "back in the day " football has changed and evolved and of course a set piece specialist improves your squad. It's like being in a kitchen head chef , sou chef , etc etc every one has a honed craft and you are better off using the advantage as seen when we brought it Scott fry and after he left the massive drop off .

12 Nov 2026 08:55:12
Our set pieces shouldn't be complicated. Have Raskin run front post big Fernandez central and Makhanya in behind. Hit 1 of they 3 and we have a good chance of scoring. Why pay a coach who takes so much time away from what needs done.
