Rangers Transfer Rumours

25 Apr 2026 08:52:31
Hi does anyone know who's leaving this summer any rumours of who's leaving? Who's been told there no longer required? And who wants to leave?

And any rumours of summer transfers? Cheers.

25 Apr 2026 09:16:34
I heard a whisper that Tav is leaving.

25 Apr 2026 10:04:51
Don't know anything about outgoings but seems every Scandinavian defender and midfielder under the age of 25 is being linked to us just now. 😅 Definitely a market we're looking in to! Surprised Robbie Ure hasn't had a serious mention yet, watched a wee highlights reel of him this morning and the boys turning in to a proper player! Eye for goal (inside and outside the box), strong, great link up play, and he knows what we're all about.

25 Apr 2026 10:14:30
Potential outgoing.

James Tavernier (guaranteed)
Nedim Bajrami
Jack Butland
Lyall Cameron

Nicolas Raskin?
Mohammed Diomande?
Emmanuel Fernandez?
Yussef Chermiti?

25 Apr 2026 10:20:52
Chat at last night's games was around 12-14 players expected to leave in the summer.

This is from all players who don't meet the U19 criteria.

25 Apr 2026 10:47:53
We've loaned 15 players in and out.
I'd only be keeping one loaned in, Djiga, and one loaned out, Curtis, there's 13 straight away.

25 Apr 2026 10:51:57
Sorry be keeping Munn.

25 Apr 2026 11:45:00
Good post Aph,

I take it the? are more about interest in those players and could receive bids that we would accept rather than the others?

Jack has been another player who gets too much stick, yes, he has made errors, but overall I think he's one of the players that kept us in the hunt, so would not be surprised if he fancies a move in the summer.

Unfortunately, I don't think we are the right club for Bajrami, who I do believe is a good player.

I had great hopes for Cameron but just hasn't worked out.

As for the? I'd love to keep Raskin, Dio and Manny, but we need to buy low and sell high, and I think that the summer may be the right time for all 3.



As for Chermiti, yes, he can score of the big occassion but simply doesn't score enough. We will be losing Tav's goals next season so it becomes more important that our strikers score.

I'd like to see the following also go:
Danny (another who needs to find the right club).
Don't want Djiga back, would be too large a fee and or wages plus I've not been impressed at all. imo there are better value options available.

There were rumours that Antman wanted away in Jan. Any info if that is still the case? I think he is worth sticking with if he is up for it.

24 Apr 2026 23:43:06
Not back in Budapest until September but apparently target Mihaly Kata picked up another yellow tonight in The Fizz. I like the boy but his discipline is a worry.

25 Apr 2026 09:20:18
I believe most of his bookings are what would be said as fouls for the team.

I would hope that if he were to join Rangers there would be less of a requirement for those types of fouls.

25 Apr 2026 11:10:16
I just had a look at him, 26 games, 9 yellow cards, 0 red cards, Jardine, nothing wrong with that, mate.

25 Apr 2026 11:17:32
I would have personally preferred Chukwuani picking up a yellow by fouling the United player and stopping them from scoring.

24 Apr 2026 16:41:27
Any update on Stig Inge Bjørnebyes position at the club staying or going.

Tiv.

24 Apr 2026 16:45:26
Staying. His role encompasses that of former sporting director Kevin Thelwell.

He also reports directly to Andrew Cavanagh.

24 Apr 2026 16:54:30
Has this been confirmed, Aph.

24 Apr 2026 17:43:17
Andrew confirmed no changes to executive structure were planned.

24 Apr 2026 19:42:07
Honestly not seen where any of this has been confirmed. Been out on the batter all day, so might be just me.

24 Apr 2026 16:36:43
Not sure if said already but just reading online were after 22 year old defender, gilberto batista. Valued at around 2.6m from moreirense. Not sure authentic in the rumour but just passing it on.

24 Apr 2026 16:46:32
He is one of a number of players being considered.

I understand that Henrik Falchener and Tobias Guddal are also very high in consideration.

24 Apr 2026 20:01:55
Falchener is an exciting link for me.

24 Apr 2026 20:19:45
Personally, I would prefer Tobias Guddal true-blue.

25 Apr 2026 00:17:40
Of the three I'd be edging away from Batista, probably the quickest of the three but I can't look past the rashness. He seems to dive in even when the easy option is to slow the attacker on your feet.

The other two would be my preferred options.

I like a defender who could almost play 6. Calm on the ball and reads the game. Gudal edges that and seems just that bit quicker.

We'd need some pace on the cover with either, I reckon.

23 Apr 2026 21:17:48
John have you heard anything regarding the information I brought to the forum yesterday?

As I said I am unsure of the likelihood of that situation.

23 Apr 2026 21:59:48
I made some enquiries today. It's very much low key.

23 Apr 2026 22:04:33
Thank you, my friend. It would only add to the excitement surrounding the club.

23 Apr 2026 22:13:46
Defo. If the authorities allowed it, I could see it be very positive for Rangers.

23 Apr 2026 22:19:50
I see no reason for authorities to block it.

I would hope that the strategic advisors linked to Red Bull would help us navigate the complexity of the undertaking.

23 Apr 2026 23:36:30
This really excites me, Aphe. It's a great bit of info, mate, well done.

23 Apr 2026 23:43:18
Thank you, Stevie, hopefully it is something we can do.

24 Apr 2026 06:59:18
What info, Aphelion, I must have missed what you said, my friend. 🤔

24 Apr 2026 07:42:54
Possible interest in 49% interest in Osterlund FK coops. 👍

24 Apr 2026 09:05:28
Thank you, Fork. As Fork says, SWS, there is potential interest in purchasing a stake in Ostersunds FK.

24 Apr 2026 09:57:08
I was close lol. 👍 😄

24 Apr 2026 10:06:51
Very close, Fork, what is your opinion of this possibility, my friend?

24 Apr 2026 11:26:54
Depending on what the "goal" is, I'm not really sure, mate, if it's to foster development of the in-between players that are in limbo, by all means yes, plus always the chance of a local player. 👍🔱

24 Apr 2026 11:36:12
I would imagine that, similar to Red Bull, it would be primarily to get a foothold in that nation, fostering local talent through the existing academy structure, whilst supplementing the first team playing squad with development players.

It would not act as a B team.

24 Apr 2026 11:36:21
Aphelion, conscious of your Scandinavian orientation, you'll be more clued to the detail here. And, equally aware, you may not be able to divulge much more, which is perfectly understandable.

However, is the purpose here with Ostersunds an attempt to create:

(i) an international version of the 'co-operation' agreement like we have with Raith and Alloa to allow young academy players to develop via loans; or

(ii) a foothold in the market for young Scandinavian players to develop at as a feeder club before they make the move?

Or, dare I say, both?

FWIW: I was lucky enough to visit there a few years back and the nearby ski town of Are.

It's a lovely part of the world. And well secluded from wider distractions, allowing an ideal place for young players to develop, focusing solely on their football. The potential is there.

24 Apr 2026 11:43:58
Apologies, Aphelion - you'll see my point above was posted literally 9 seconds after your detailed answer, which clarified my curiosity!

24 Apr 2026 11:44:35
Legal, I think I have said all I can on the matter, my friend.

Any answer to your questions would purely be guesswork and my own hypothesis, as seen above with the response to Fork.

24 Apr 2026 11:46:06
It is a truly remarkable place, Legal, and certainly a great place for young footballers to flourish away from the main football centers.

24 Apr 2026 11:57:17
We also had links with Orange County, Bengaluru(?) and Hamburg and others to various degrees. Would this be similar or a closer link to loan and develop players?

24 Apr 2026 12:02:00
Kaiser, it would likely be incomparable due to the clubs mentioned being strategic partnerships and not any ownership.

24 Apr 2026 12:07:51
Just knew there was some kind of links but don't know anything else about them, cheers mate.

24 Apr 2026 12:24:19
I believe, in terms of Bengaluru and Orange County, they were international cooperative partnerships aimed at providing opportunities for young players to move to Rangers, whilst also sharing scouting and coaching knowledge.

Hamburg, I believe, is a strategic partner that has been advanced due to the close relationship between supporters.

24 Apr 2026 12:48:37
That's the Belgium club we got Fashion Sakala from. 👍

24 Apr 2026 12:50:54
No, it is not SWS.

24 Apr 2026 12:57:17
Sws, you're getting mixed up with Oostende, mate, clubs in France are interested in Sakala right now.

24 Apr 2026 13:56:54
Ok, my mistake, just an honest mistake, Aphelion, that's all. 🤔

24 Apr 2026 14:08:11
Nothing wrong with making mistakes, Sws. We all make mistakes and most of us admit to that fault.

No, we were talking about Superettan team Ostersunds FK.

24 Apr 2026 14:29:52
Thanks, Aphelion - always appreciate your input and thoughts on the matters.

I keep a close eye on the Allsvenskan, admittedly not as much as I used to. Have been to around 15 games. A good physical league with some decent clubs and stadiums (AIK, Malmo, Djurgarden etc.).

Only need to look at the progress and development that league's had on one of our ex-academy Robbie Ure at IK Sirius.

Will be intriguing to keep an eye on this one, and hopefully Ostersunds can get promoted from the Superettan asap.

24 Apr 2026 16:48:01
No need to thank me, my friend.

The Allsvenskan is a very good league and seriously under appreciated.

Very similar stylistically to Scotland in terms of physicality.

24 Apr 2026 16:50:19
I would like to see if this does happen. We use this to not just loan players out but staff too. We have too many times tried a new manager/head coach and it failed due to them not grasping how we operate, so I would like to hope somehow we could solve that problem with this one.

24 Apr 2026 19:07:20
I personally think Aphe has a great contact within the club. It's glaringly obvious with some of the things he's posted.

I assume it's Stig that he personally knows, but that's just my opinion, imo, and Aphe doesn't even acknowledge that, mate, as I'm not asking.

23 Apr 2026 21:02:43
Just read Denso Kasius is being mentioned as a Tav replacement. AZ Alkmaar RB, 23yrs old valued at 6m euro. Described as an attacking wing-back with notable accuracy in his crossing. 7 caps for Netherlands U21's.

23 Apr 2026 22:37:44
He's very much like Tav, so would love this. I'd also love Woutter Gous from AZ, he's like a Ramos / Pepe kind of centre back. I know that's not everyone's cup of tea, but I'd love for us to have an aggressive centre half.

24 Apr 2026 00:41:30
We really don't need an aggressive CB with how we play most of the time. Our CBs are high and expected to be able to defend our wide alone. An aggressive CB would put too much pressure on the other CB to cover when he gets it wrong.

24 Apr 2026 07:31:17
Rangers seem to be referred to a different standard. An "aggressive" player would not have a good time here. Alfredo Morelos played aggressively. Look at how he was portrayed for it.

24 Apr 2026 10:03:02
CalB, agreed, mate, high line defence, why Rohl will want a sweeper keeper signed.

25 Apr 2026 00:36:13
Denso looks quality. If we could actually get him, that would be a quality signing. Exactly the age and profile we are after.

In the clips, he's very athletic and had more touches with his left foot than Tav had in 11 years as a Rangers player. Not going after Tav, but so very one footed, it's embarrassing.

23 Apr 2026 19:14:44
Any truth in rumours jack Butland could be away this summer?

23 Apr 2026 19:42:50
It is possible.

23 Apr 2026 20:03:15
Yes Walter.

23 Apr 2026 20:11:44
Has Jack Butland not got another year left on his contract, guys? 🤔

23 Apr 2026 20:14:54
Yip.

This is why the club were keen to bring in a GK in January, but we just didn't have the headroom financially.

As far as I know, the deal is in place for our new GK.

23 Apr 2026 20:15:01
Walter, I think u can sell a player who has a contract.

23 Apr 2026 20:15:04
He is a player who may be sold, SWS.

23 Apr 2026 20:21:22
Any clues to the identity of the new keeper?

23 Apr 2026 20:36:28
I like Big Jack, but if we want to be a team that plays out from the back, then he needs replacing tbh. Brilliant shot stopper, brutal at times with his feet, same thing that's really hampered his career of playing for England, top teams in Premiership.

23 Apr 2026 20:49:29
What few would we be looking for?

I'd be saying £5m.

23 Apr 2026 20:54:34
Been a good player for us. Had a bit of a bad spell for a while last season, but on the whole been a good keeper.

23 Apr 2026 21:07:22
3/4million. He has a year left. Would be good for us in terms of a fee. I would rather keep him tho.

23 Apr 2026 21:13:26
BB4 hit the nail on the head there, pal. Looks like Rohl wants someone who can play with his feet and big Jack just isn't it. I remember him costing us a fair few times with his terrible distribution.

New keeper wouldn't be a bad thing.

23 Apr 2026 21:17:56
His distribution has improved a lot! He's a class keeper. Be very careful what you wish for. Thinking we can get better than Butlands, a huge ask on our budget.

23 Apr 2026 21:24:03
Never hidden my preference.

Tjark Ernst

23 Apr 2026 21:27:58
It would be incredible if we could attract better than Jack.

23 Apr 2026 21:34:07
I agree with you, Stevie G, mate. Butland's been superb this year. Contender for POTY imo.

23 Apr 2026 23:37:52
Sometimes be careful what we wish for lads.
Jack's an incredibly good gk.

24 Apr 2026 08:15:34
Yeah, changing keeper can be a big risk - the other side had a nightmare which quite a few keepers and eventually had to get Hart for some experience.

24 Apr 2026 08:33:02
Aphelion, keep your fingers crossed as Tjark Ernst is your No1 choice, if we were to be looking for a new keeper.

24 Apr 2026 13:22:15
We always talk about leaders and players who know the club and the league and yet we are losing Tav, likely Raskin if he has a good World Cup, and we are now talking about replacing Butland as a good thing.

Who does that leave to bring experience to the team, Sterling, who is rarely fit? Souttar, who is not good enough to start? Seems like a backward step to me.

24 Apr 2026 17:56:21
Agree with a few posters before me in that we will do really well to upgrade on Jack Butland.

25 Apr 2026 00:28:55
His biggest opportunity is the same one we had with Greegs. Neither dominate their box. Greegs was understandable, smaller in stature. I can't understand Butland being unable or unwilling to. This is the second reason I'd move him on. His feet first and his wages third.
