Rangers Transfer Rumours

25 May 2026 13:42:40
I have it from someone in the know at Motherwell that Elliot Watt has signed for us.

25 May 2026 15:07:10
Need to agree a fee with Well first.

However, it's very likely to happen.

25 May 2026 15:18:50
Yeah, seeing similar from a guy on X who very rarely says much about rumours, but when he does he's usually on the button.

25 May 2026 15:25:52
Would be a great signing to follow on from Shankland. Shows this board ain't messing about.

25 May 2026 15:35:14
Ayrshire also seen that he's very rarely wrong.

25 May 2026 15:41:44
This is the one I want to happen more than any other right now. Watt is the best number 6 in our league, imo. If we get him, it'll solve a lot of the issues we had last season. We can play a 4-3-3 as opposed to this 4-4-2 because we will at last have a sitting midfielder.

25 May 2026 16:02:01
Can't check with my source until Tuesday, all I know is Rangers had 1.2m offer turned down couple weeks ago and player was looking at options down south but if none materialised would be happy to stay at Well.

Maybe we've went in with higher offer or better structure to deal, hope not paying too much as not long left on his deal.

25 May 2026 16:06:19
Forever heard similar in January from a Motherwell scout. We wanted him and Motherwell priced him out of a move and he wasn't happy, said he only wanted to move to us. I think this one will happen.

25 May 2026 16:21:07
I hope if we do sign him there is another 6 brought in as well as we will need more than one 6 in case of injury/suspension/form.

Whether that is Dan Neil or another, I'm fine with either. First 2 signings being Rangers men as well will go down well with the fan base.

Hopefully next it's Penrice and Graham then we can start looking at the bigger spends and that RW.

25 May 2026 13:34:59
Anyone hearing Cammy Devlin on a free?

25 May 2026 15:09:35
Wouldn't mind that tbh, hope its true.

25 May 2026 15:19:42
God player and might be better with better players if we sign any.

If not, we sell him on and get a fee.

25 May 2026 15:27:57
Would happily take. Good players and absolute fighter on the pitch to but a bit of steal in the midfield.

25 May 2026 16:02:42
God player a bit much, mate, he's good but not that god.

25 May 2026 16:06:15
Honestly mate, I'd love this. The guy doesn't stop and will happily knock his gran over to get the ball.

25 May 2026 16:07:02
I would only want him if Barron was leavin, both very similar players.

25 May 2026 16:09:46
He's one that doesn't excite me. Had a decent enough year but always considered him to be an absolute jobber beforehand.

25 May 2026 16:16:49
Would be an excellent replacement if we cashed in on one of our existing 'holding' midfielders.

Imagine picking him up for nowt and selling Barron for 3-4 mil or Dio for 6-8 mil?

More cash in kitty for our defence, and good player trading imo - he would be a great squad option.

25 May 2026 17:39:12
For me, Devlin doesn't improve our first team. I would be keeping Barron over Devlin. Also, see Dio as a much better player also imo.

25 May 2026 17:55:48
Dio is better than both, Cameron or Devlin, for me. Barron can go if Bologna still wants him. Make weight for Ferguson that everyone seems to want.

25 May 2026 11:23:46
Lawrence Shankland was at Ibrox yesterday with his agent completing his move from Hearts.

25 May 2026 11:48:04
Yes, photos all done, just pending the announcements now.

Smart signing.

25 May 2026 11:57:57
With a Rangers jersey on, Jasper.

25 May 2026 12:11:31
Any idea when the announcement could be?

25 May 2026 12:45:50
I would pretty soon. It was all very hush hush yesterday.

25 May 2026 12:54:15
Medical booked for Tuesday morning.

25 May 2026 13:07:00
Reminds me of the signing of Billy Dodds from years ago, served his dues with multiple Scottish clubs and never let us down when pulling on the Rangers jersey.

25 May 2026 13:58:02
Absolutely delighted with Shankland. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴

25 May 2026 14:41:43
Coopers dad, was it Strum Graz he scored a pearler of a chip? Great wee striker, Dodds.

25 May 2026 14:49:01
Yes, Steve Clarke has given Shankland permission to turn up late with the Scotland squad tomorrow morning to go through his Rangers medical and complete his move to us. 👍 🇬🇧 Then he'll return with Clarke and the Scotland squad. 🤔 Happy days, and good luck to LS with his Rangers career, and he's one of our own. 👌 🇬🇧

25 May 2026 14:51:35
Welcome home, Lawrence. Very pleased to have you. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

25 May 2026 14:53:17
I am delighted and angry too! This man should have been a Rangers player 3 or 4 years ago!.
But I am delighted to finally get him, we had obviously turned our noses up previously!

25 May 2026 15:47:27
Here's hoping he doesn't get injured in USA then.

25 May 2026 16:04:09
Not a smart signing at all. Would have been a smart signing at the start of the season when free, or in the winter windows before, when Clement was chasing the league.

By all accounts, this has only happened because Shankland was smart enough to put a clause in his deal.

25 May 2026 16:23:22
Forever, it is smart 🤔, as he is still the type of player we need. Yes, we should have had the lad here sooner, but why cut off our nose to spite our face. I, for one, will welcome him with open arms. 👍

25 May 2026 09:57:58
Heard Bailey Rice going to Villa. Plan is to be with their youth team and train with 1st team. Think we will be due nominal fee as he's OOC.

25 May 2026 11:45:11
Villa are one of many, and have been the front runners for a while now.

Personally, I really want to see him move to the continent. Would love to see more young Scots developing outside the UK.

25 May 2026 13:35:02
With their youth team?

Lennon Miller just completed his first season in Serie A after 2 good seasons in the Motherwell first team.

For being the same age, amazing how differently their careers diverged over the last few years.

25 May 2026 13:38:18
Would love to see more Scots develop at Rangers.

25 May 2026 14:33:48
EHL, if he has any sense he will move to Italy. When was the last Scottish player to move to an EPL academy and make it? The amount of young Scots going to Italy first and developing is mental. I can remember speaking to Turnbull's brother and saying I can't believe he chose Cardiff over going to Serie A.

Motherwell would be a good move for him tbf I would like to see us keep him.

25 May 2026 15:04:02
Wishy, yeah - Italy seems to be a really positive environment for our young players.

There's a lot of interest in young Scottish talent from Austria, Switzerland and Poland too.

I honestly hope as many of the players take the opportunities as possible - but I can completely understand the lure of England.



I think the average salary in the Championship is around £750k and in League 1 it's around £250k - pretty difficult for anyone to turn down those opportunities.

25 May 2026 15:13:11
So do I, mate, but if it was me giving the advice, I'd tell them to put aside short term gain for the bigger picture. Chance to go and learn a new culture, develop further as a player/person, and if you do well you open the doors to moves that will likely not come by moving to the bottom of the Championship.

Hickey being the perfect example.

Rice has been at Rangers for years and we haven't given him a chance. He won't stay here any longer. We blew it with this lad. Best of luck to him wherever he ends up.

25 May 2026 16:05:57
100% agree EHL, it's the way ahead for our young players, especially with team routes blocked at the Big Two.

25 May 2026 16:20:50
There is something about Rice not taking his opportunities rather than not getting them. He had a number of games to showcase his worth, and always looks lethargic. Boy has def got talent, but question his attitude.

25 May 2026 07:10:22
Read this morning that our next target after shankland will be bright prospect Amario Cozier-Duberry from brighton fc, very talented RW. Has anyone else heard anything about this player.

25 May 2026 07:47:37
Would Blom sell to us to make us strongerm. Honestly, think he would make that difficult.

25 May 2026 07:56:58
Ayrshire mentioned this yesterday.

25 May 2026 08:13:34
He's rated at Brighton, can't see them selling him, unless he comes on loan.

25 May 2026 08:36:01
20 G/A for Bolton this season. So, a decent season, not sure that would be a good move for the player or us. Would he start for us? Would he come to us to sit on the bench? I'm not sure.

25 May 2026 08:40:25
YoungBlue, loaned out the previous season as well at Blackburn, why I could only seeing it be on loan.

25 May 2026 08:52:08
Could be complicated by Shankland move, I think, because of Bloom's interest in Hearts.

25 May 2026 09:04:55
Yeah, he won't be coming.
A lot of sides in for him.

25 May 2026 09:59:36
Mystar, that's my point. A player who wants to play and coming on loan, unless he's a starter, why come to us. I imagine he'll go back to Bolton in the Championship. Unless we buy him, but I don't think we'll pay what Brighton want for a squad player.

25 May 2026 11:49:02
Two players I know we were monitoring really closely down south are Cameron Ashia (Huddersfield) and Abu Kamara (Hull).

25 May 2026 12:45:32
Kamara was linked last summer. Hope we are not just revisiting old lists.

25 May 2026 12:56:22
Great point WSL, I really hope the club are not monitoring and scouting players over a sustained period of time in order to gain more insight into their suitability or with a view to taking advantage of financial opportunities as contracts approach their conclusion.



We should be linked to a player once, take a sharpie to their name on our list and move on - that's how successful teams operate.

24 May 2026 21:15:25
Hi sky sports ect saying shanks deal all but finished and will be our first signing of the new season. Can ask about the 2 players we got on pre contracts what's there status and any one picked up names.

24 May 2026 22:27:19
Can't argue against it. His experience and leadership is worth it alone. Great player to have available against your bottom half sides.

24 May 2026 22:32:57
CalB, he'll score plenty against the top half sides as well.

24 May 2026 22:46:55
Well said, Blue. He scores against us and Celtic, and in the Edinburgh derby nearly every game he plays us all.

24 May 2026 22:49:06
Time will tell.

25 May 2026 02:28:56
Reportedly on a free transfer because of a contract clause, it's a no brainer.

25 May 2026 02:45:44
Blue, no doubting it, but goals against the bigger sides is not a problem we have, it's your little away games to bottom of the table after big games where players want to stroll and go for a walk around the park for 90mins.

25 May 2026 08:49:38
Blue. Hopefully a thing of the past. 👍

25 May 2026 09:09:22
Top goalscorer looks the bet for the coming season, short priced as it may be.

25 May 2026 09:14:16
Chermiti or Shankland for top goalscorer, Coopersdad 🤔 What do you think, mate? 🤔

25 May 2026 09:51:35
Shankland ahead of Chermiti for top goalscorer. I think Chermiti performs at a higher level than Shankland, just not that often, whereas Shankland is a solid 7/10 minimum per week. Chermiti a 5/10 or a 9/10, never anywhere in the middle, would be a great front 2 though, for sure.

25 May 2026 10:09:40
Think Chermiti will be sold, btw Shankland did a great job with the Jamboos contract, he must have been thinking Rangers would come in, hope we hear what sunbed McInnes will say, when he calms doon.

25 May 2026 11:13:20
We need to shore up the defence as a priority. That's where we are weakest.

25 May 2026 11:53:04
A lot of European leagues are still coming towards the end of their seasons (except Scandinavia, who are only just starting) and a lot of contracted players are contracted up until the end of May or even June.



The unique clause in the Shankland contract means this one broke early, but I wouldn't be expecting an avalanche of announcements.

Most will happen after seasons close out and players get some down time.

25 May 2026 12:12:57
ManGer as far as I no we haven't signed any occ player's. Only place its been mentioned is on hear but no names mentioned 😕

24 May 2026 17:04:49
Not going to touch on the Shankland thing as it looks all but announced

Dan Neil is currently in talks with the club.

Hampus Skoglund is not in the Hammarby squad today. So hopefully that's to have talks with us.

24 May 2026 17:21:37
Paterson also not in the Everton squad.

24 May 2026 17:29:32
Neil is due to have talks as per Alan Nixon earlier.

Skoglund isn't playing today as he's suspended.

24 May 2026 17:52:32
Aww, that would make sense then. What's the story. 😂 Never noticed that, thanks for the update though, and yeah it was Alan Nixon. I saw mention Neil as well.

24 May 2026 18:11:37
Ayrshire, he'd have been watching Sunderland today, mate, unbelievable first season on the return, 7th and in Europa, stuff of dreams.

24 May 2026 18:12:08
Patterson injured again.

24 May 2026 18:37:56
What's the thoughts on Dan Neil? Doesn't look anything special on YouTube?

24 May 2026 19:01:39
Patterson not in time, as he will be injured. There is no way on this earth we are stupid enough to sign Patterson.

24 May 2026 19:05:13
If he plays the way he did for Sunderland, fans will love him, Reidpt, very clever footballer, leader, elite engine, excellent range of passing, hopefully this happens.

24 May 2026 19:25:59
I don't know anything about Neil, but I get the absolute fear when MyStar gets so carried away.

24 May 2026 19:33:01
Fair play, EPL, can only wait and see, outstanding for Sunderland.

24 May 2026 19:41:16
Have to agree, EHL.

24 May 2026 19:44:51
If Neil comes that's him jinxed. 🙈😂

24 May 2026 19:45:03
Hopefully, if we do get Dan Neil, then we also go for Watt. In case Neil flops. The only thing I will say, and I've not watched a lot of Dan Neil, is he is a natural 6, whereas Rothwell was an 8; Martin tried to convert him into a 6.

So hopefully that would assist Neil in having a better time, and Neil has been a club captain, so is a leader. But I've no clue how he'll do in all honesty.

24 May 2026 19:52:29
Ayrshire was a 6 in Sunderland promoted team, mate, started as an 8, box to box, but he controlled many games in that promoted side.

24 May 2026 19:53:24
I've no idea on how Neil will do in Scotland. I've learned to wait and see them play first, as even the highest rated players we've had from England have massively flopped. 👀 Going to be a busy, busy few weeks before the World Cup. I expect mainly Scottish league players and frees in before pre season.

24 May 2026 20:21:01
Had posted last year, can't remember when nw, very early though, that we wanted Dan.
But again, think it might have been down to Russell. Not sure though?
But I had heard concrete rumour he was supposed to be coming in last summer.

Think he will bring solid form to the SPFL.
And think this deal is already done.

24 May 2026 20:24:54
May double announcement tomorrow with launch of new kit perhaps? 🤔🤔

24 May 2026 20:33:48
He's only 24, not this season, but the previous three seasons he's played over 40 games each season in the Championship, captain for a couple of seasons, played 200 games.

24 May 2026 20:52:04
What about the 2 Scandinavian boys we in for, has that fallen away l?
I was under the impression 1 had already agreed to sign.

24 May 2026 20:57:26
Nobody has any idea how players will play or adapt at our team, many have failed with great pedigrees, n even greater expectations.
Let's just see.

Joey Barton for one.
Skov Olson another.

Many players aren't accustomed to our game.
Our culture.
And just can't handle it.

Support who we get.
See how they do.

24 May 2026 21:09:40
Neil and Watt would be good additions if possible. GK, CB, RB, and RW starters needed at least this summer.

24 May 2026 21:23:11
Correct, Bluedreamer, why I said he puts in the performances he did for Sunderland, we got a player.

24 May 2026 22:09:53
I feel the reason I don't want Neil is down to players like Rothwell, Lawrence etc. failing, so probably being a bit unfair on him. We haven't really signed anyone like him in their prime; it's usually always when they are tailing off and don't have any motivation to earn another big move.

So maybe with him being 24, he's coming here to get his next big move and will burst a gut.

24 May 2026 22:10:41
Lol Storm, it's Rangers, we could be that stupid. This is same club that passed on Mulligan and Shankland on dev fee and a free.

24 May 2026 22:12:36
Mystar, think you just totally missed Bluedreamer point and you should have learned by now not to big up every player from England like you seem to do every season.

24 May 2026 22:24:05
How many games has Patterson been fit to play since he went to Everton?
This would be a big mistake imo!
But then again, we have previous in this regard!

24 May 2026 22:52:22
Yip, Bar. Even as back up I would say no.

24 May 2026 22:58:53
Anyone who gets the Mystar seal of approval should frighten us, as I'm sure he has jinxed every new signing he has backed haha.

25 May 2026 07:30:18
Neil has an offer on the table but yet to be signed. He has more lucrative offers elsewhere, but player/family yet to decide. Not sure how this would pan out, but believe it would be a good addition. To support some views, he's a far better player than Raskin for me.

25 May 2026 07:35:26
Forever, I missed no point. Any player can fail, maybe you don't get his point.
Dan Neil is different from the likes of Dowell. Watched him play hundreds of games, not half a dozen.

Bigbluejim, lol.

Dan Neil can't play, you'll see that if he signs. Never backed anyone that can't play, difference is doing it in Rangers colours. Tell you again, Dan Neil puts in performances like he did for Sunderland. You'll love him.

25 May 2026 08:01:09
😁Can play bbj.

25 May 2026 10:11:14
Paterson has a twisted Y front elastic.
