Rangers Transfer Rumours

12 Jun 2026 21:41:32
I'm hearing McInnes is our no1 choice to replace Rohl

12 Jun 2026 21:47:03
Sounds good to me.

12 Jun 2026 21:51:43
I'd rather McInnes than Gerrard. Personally, think McInnes should have been in already over the last few years.

12 Jun 2026 22:16:17
If it works out with McInnes, I could see him staying with the club long term. I doubt he would jump ship at the first chance. Guy has served his time in the league, knows it inside and out.

He should have won the league last season with Hearts. It's time he gets the job imo. He will also probably get more of a say on transfers here.

12 Jun 2026 22:33:34
McInnes for me, and has been for the last few years. Domestic knowledge of the league, belief in Scots, Blue nose, hungry - especially after this season's fiasco. Can't see him having ambition beyond Rangers as that will be his dream job. So longevity assured. Absolute stick on for me.

12 Jun 2026 22:36:46
Anyone except McInnes is a gamble in my eyes, even Stevie G would be a gamble in my opinion.

Derek, at a minimum, will have us competing at the business end domestically. He's a manager, not a coach, which is fitting for our club and culture. He's nothing fancy but we've tried fancy and it didn't work.

Let's get back to our DNA, a solid Scottish man manager that understands the demands and pressures of Ibrox and its faithful.
Nothing fancy, old school.
Two strikers, fast wingers, direct in the attack and solid defensively. He was Walter Smith's top pick, if my memory serves me correctly.

12 Jun 2026 22:38:49
Imo he's earned his shot at it. We have tried countless foreign/forward thinking/project coaches, none have worked, albeit a lot not been given time. Maybe it's time to go back to basics and get a team that will graft and fight for every point.

12 Jun 2026 22:40:37
Looks like it will be. All main media been briefed now.

12 Jun 2026 22:40:43
Here, here, Sir Walter.

12 Jun 2026 23:09:27
Fully agree with Crtallbear. I believe if Mcinness is succesfull he will be around as long as Rangers want him. Imo the timing is perfect and he has earned it as well.

12 Jun 2026 23:26:21
Given that pre-season starts next week, if Danny goes, we need a manager appointed within a few days, not weeks, like the last couple of times. Therefore McInnes would be my choice.

13 Jun 2026 01:22:50
How do the Hearts board plan to handle the backlash from their fanbase? We just took their captain and their fans were very upset about that. Now we're going to take their manager, and their board would need to allow that to happen. Their fanbase will demand answers from that board.

The Hearts owner said he wants Hearts to win the league in the next few years. How can that happen if Rangers, or Celtic for that matter, can just come along and take their best players or even their manager at will? At some point they will need to stop letting Rangers and Celtic from taking their best assets. If either Old Firm team does take one of their assets, they will want to be paid a premium for it.

To be clear, I like McInnes. I wanted him appointed last summer and said so on this very forum. He was my first choice. I viewed him as pragmatic and someone who could stabilise the club for a few years - which we desperately need. I'm not against that appointment in any way if it does happen. However, Hearts won't want him to go (especially to us), and McInnes has a good thing going there too. So I have my doubt about this.

13 Jun 2026 01:40:58
Yes, McInnes has had a good season with Hearts. If it turns out he will be our next manager, I worry about the quality of players he could attract and his style of football is a hard watch. Not an upgrade imo.

13 Jun 2026 01:49:16
I'd imagine McInnes was on £10k approx per week and will have 2 years approx on his contract totalling £1m to leave.
Obviously he will be paid more, have a longer contract, or even a release clause.
Rohl will bank £2-4m for Rohl once it's been negotiated, so essentially we will be in profit with the manager change and an upgrade by all accounts.
Gerrard 2nd choice and Neil McCann 3rd.

13 Jun 2026 03:31:32
Ayrtrueblue, So it now be our manager signing players and not our recruitment team? McInnes wins us the league.

13 Jun 2026 05:35:15
Fully agree with all posts on this matter. McInnes has earned this chance.

12 Jun 2026 21:33:17
A lad I'm working with at the minute has a family source with board level connections at Hearts and he says opening discussions are taking place with McInnes.

13 Jun 2026 01:11:08
I wasn't aware he was Walter Smith's shout for job! I just always thought he was mentoring McCoist to takeover, or are we talking about another time after Ally? If he was Walter's pick, then who are any of us mere mortals to disagree. 👍 Rohl is off though that's a certainty! Even if the negotiations with Salzburg went south, his head and heart isn't in it, so we need to move on.

13 Jun 2026 01:57:52
Walter was asked about McInnes, and he agreed he had the qualities to be a Rangers manager.

I think McInnes deserves a shot.

We will not be short of effort imo.

12 Jun 2026 20:02:21
Heard Rohl is in Austria. Posted a pic in sightings. Also hearing Gerrard with Mccalister again and he's bringing Dan Agger ex Liverpool team mate as a coach.

12 Jun 2026 21:33:24
Fake pic and WhatsApp rumour bud. Already been covered today. The pic is from August 25, and is doctored, as it's from RB New York.

12 Jun 2026 21:33:31
Herefor56, According to a few different reports, Steven Gerrard not on the shortlist if indeed Rohl leaves. 🤔

13 Jun 2026 01:25:13
Gerrard has said on a podcast that one of the main reason he was able to succeed at Rangers is because his background team was spot on. Gerrard has also said it would take him 20 years to learn what Beale does about coaching. Gerrard is not a coach, and he won't be able to bring Beale back here with him this time. So the background team would be different. If Gerrard was appointed, we would not be getting the same thing as last time.

13 Jun 2026 02:00:18
Gerrard was brilliant for us.

We were brilliant for him.

I think McInnes will be fuelled by his love for Rangers and what happened last year.

Siege mentality.

12 Jun 2026 21:06:30
Rohl pictured at RB Salzburg. Posted on sightings page, looks very recent.

12 Jun 2026 21:09:00
It was 2025.

12 Jun 2026 21:13:52
The picture is an altered picture from August 2025 when Rohl was visiting RB New York. The original image is on his Instagram. Some sad act has had it altered to create more chat.

12 Jun 2026 21:17:52
Apologies, I wasn't aware, I'm not on social media at all, so unable to check.
That will be that put to bed. 😂

12 Jun 2026 21:27:42
It's a very poorly altered picture, fake news!

12 Jun 2026 21:34:14
Not an issue, bud, I'd have fell for it as well if I hadn't seen the original earlier today on follow follow.

12 Jun 2026 19:25:02
Speaking to someone immediately close to the situation. No confirmation that DR is away 100%, but I can suggest that if what I've heard is true then McInnes is a real possibility.

For the record, I'm not keen on him or SG, but it seems that DM wouldn't be a hard deal to do. Not overly delighted about this but I have close friends who would be keen on either.

12 Jun 2026 20:39:58
Cheers for update, Ibrox, appreciated. 🤘😁🤘

12 Jun 2026 20:45:56
If Rohl does leave I would like someone like McInnes or Oliver Glasner or Kjetil Knutsen. But I know we will probably end up with someone like Gerrard.

12 Jun 2026 20:52:27
Would take Gerrard before McInnes everyday of the week, wee played some good stuff under Gerrard and got better each year, he needed backed, that was all.

12 Jun 2026 20:58:41
Doughieboy, we were on track to finish worse off in his 2nd season than in his first. His 3rd Celtic completely imploded and he lost 2 cup competitions to St Johnstone. He absolutely was backed, so this idea that he wasn't backed is just untrue.

You only have to look at how Aston Villa have done since they sacked him to see how poor of a manager he is. Grateful for 55 but never again.

12 Jun 2026 21:19:16
Glasner never knocked back a new deal with Crystal Palace to come to Scotland. He's going to AC Milan or another big club in a much better league.

Knutsen is onto a good thing where he is. He's most likely been offered many jobs in the past and stayed put, as he's done very well there for a long time.



McInnes will be allowed to leave Hearts for compensation. Bloom has let many managers leave Brighton. His model does not rely on the head coach to work, as Brighton's consistent form over 3/4 coaches shows.

12 Jun 2026 21:20:40
This is Gerrard managerial states so apert from us it's not been the best Win Percentage.

Rangers - P193 - W125 - D42 - L26 - WP 64.8%
Aston Villa - P40 - W13 - D8 - L19 - WP 32.5%
Al-Ettifa - P59 - W23 - D16 - L20 - WP 39.0%.

12 Jun 2026 21:21:43
McInnes would be a safe option for me.

12 Jun 2026 21:22:52
If Rohl is away, McInnes is the solution for me. Unfinished business with Celtic & mon.

12 Jun 2026 21:23:03
NewIbroxStorm, you're not putting McInnes in the same class as Oliver Glasner or Kjetil Knutsen?

12 Jun 2026 21:39:13
I love Gerrard for that one title, but he's done absolutely nothing since he left us.

McInnes, why. One good season with Hearts - bottled at the end. Average with Aberdeen, better with lesser teams.

Muscat. Don't get it. Done okay in an Asian league, but don't see the clamour for him.



I don't have an option to present, but I'd like a different list from the pre-Martin and pre-Rohl times. We need a fresh attitude, not someone who once had a link with us. There's knowing the size of the job, and the club, but with that also comes preconceived ideas.

New, fresh, start.

12 Jun 2026 22:02:05
BobbyMck, no I am not putting him in the same class. These are just 3 managers that I rate, with similar play style, and know how to get the best from players and find some gems as well. I know the manager does not choose the players, but he will have a say as they need to fit into his style.

13 Jun 2026 02:01:30
The only play style I care about is winning.

12 Jun 2026 18:27:06
Update from Chris Jack (Rangers Review)

Rohl nearing exit. Multi-million compo to be agreed.

4 man shortlist drawn up
Derek McInnes
Ex-prem boss
2 no info given

The sun reported shortly before this that Gerrard is not in the top candidates but McInnes is.

12 Jun 2026 18:47:03
Glasner, Rafa Benitez, Mckenna. 🤔🤣

12 Jun 2026 18:53:15
Sounding more and more like it's just the compensation that's needing sorted out. There's a good few ex-prem bosses.

12 Jun 2026 18:53:55
McInnes is the only logical choice this time, right. We need to stop going for managers who've never managed in Scotland. He knows the league inside out and can set up a team to win against Celtic, he's done it at every club he's been at.

12 Jun 2026 18:55:08
Scott Parker?

12 Jun 2026 19:00:01
Sounding more and more like it's just the compensation that's needing sorted out. There's a good few ex-prem bosses available just now, whether or not we could afford the wages is another story. Enzo Maresca, Thomas Frank, Igor Tudor, Sean Dyche, the list goes on. As long as it's not Dyche. 😅

12 Jun 2026 19:01:35
Gerrard. 😅

12 Jun 2026 19:25:38
Feel if it was Gerrard, he would be named. Feel like it's between Scott Parker and OGS for ex Prem boss, Muscat probably 1 of the other 2, then I dunno who else it could be.

12 Jun 2026 19:26:37
I'd take McKenna. He's been brilliant.

12 Jun 2026 19:33:04
Chris Jack says McInnes and Gerrard the front runners.

12 Jun 2026 19:34:58
McKenna retired from football, did not?
I could be mistaken and apologise if wrong.

12 Jun 2026 19:35:42
Hopefully not Scott Parker. Underwhelming to say the least. Reminds me of Russell Martin, relegated twice with Fulham and also once with Burnley. He'd be a terrible appointment.

12 Jun 2026 19:37:07
Jack didn't mention Gerrard.

12 Jun 2026 19:38:32
I'll take a guess at ex Prem boss being Slaven Bilic who was linked previously after Martins removal.

12 Jun 2026 19:44:30
It won't be McKenna, he is reportedly taking a year away from football and is favourite to take over fae Auld Martin.

And Gerard isn't in the running either.

12 Jun 2026 20:08:18
Enzo Maresca is going to Man City and I wouldn't take Igor Tudor in a lucky bag. I would love Glasner or Frank, but they are probably out with our finances. McKenna is taking time away and wouldn't join us anyway, I don't think.

Bilic isn't an EPL manager. Probably Parker, who might have got relegated twice, but he also has taken Fulham, Bournemouth and Burnley into the EPL. Dyche may also be in the frame.

12 Jun 2026 20:19:41
I don't want Scott Parker, just previous links, so that's why I'm saying chance it would be him.

Whatsthestory Chris Jack 100% has not said Gerrard is a front runner. Nowhere on his X, and he wasn't on the live stream this morning.

12 Jun 2026 20:19:51
Scott Parker!?!?! Good god. Guy more interested in his looks than owt else!

12 Jun 2026 20:23:42
Gerrard, Scott Parker, oh my. 😅😅

12 Jun 2026 21:14:15
Be better aff with Liam Gallagher's parka!
Hope n pray it's not McInnes. Yes he knows the league but is not proven in a Euro comp as of yet. Hearts I believe we're a flash in the pan that season. Both Glasgow sides were boggin and Hearts LOST THE LEAGUE! It's a giant naw Fae me on DM.

12 Jun 2026 21:15:48
Just re-read the article from RR and it states the board want to move away from recent appointments and appoint someone who is experienced and has shown leadership qualities.

Think that rules in McInnes and Muscat. Does Gerrard count as experienced? Definitely a leader, but 3 managerial jobs and maybe less than 5 years in role?

12 Jun 2026 21:35:16
Just worked out Gerrard done more than 5 years in management roles, so I think that would class him as experienced.

12 Jun 2026 22:11:33
AB93, How'd that work out for McInnes this season? Can't remember his Killie side beating Celtic. Tried their arses off against us though. He bottled the league this season after sitting top with Hearts for most of the season & should have beaten Celtic to the league with Aberdeen. Did Ange, Rodgers, or even Deila know the league? No.

12 Jun 2026 22:12:41
McInnes is a no for obvious reasons. Ex-Premier League could be a lot of names: Gerrard would count as one & he's a no. Dyche is a definite no. I hope to God Parker isn't in any discussion, because I think he'd be worse than Martin & I've never seen a team of his teams play attacking football. McKenna is taking time off to be with his family & he's knocked back approaches for us & Celtic, so I don't think he'd come to the league.

The one with no info could be anyone.

I hope that Thomas Frank is the PL manager. He's someone who improves players massively & worked as a head coach. I'd love Glasner, but think he'll be going to AC Milan. It's time we pay a higher salary to get better HC/Managers in, especially when we're throwing 10+ million around for players, so we can afford it or get someone out of a job somewhere.

12 Jun 2026 22:17:55
Gerrard & Rob Edward's the other 2.

13 Jun 2026 01:28:58
Gerrard sat down with this current board less than a year ago, and walked away. Why would he accept the job now? What's changed?

13 Jun 2026 05:20:39
RWC, Thelwell and Stewart.

12 Jun 2026 17:55:24
Just checked into a hotel in magaluf, was talking to my friends and a Guy approached asking if I was from Scotland, he introduced himself not by name but said he's from Nigeria and is friends with Fernandez and is moving from Scotland, he showed us his profile on transfer market and said Rangers have made an offer for him but he's unsure cause its cold.

Very tall Nigerian and very much in the Fernandez mold. Sounds crazy but he approached me because the accent and showed me proof on his phone. Said he played in Hungary this season.

12 Jun 2026 18:33:27
Good info, John, likely to be victory.

12 Jun 2026 18:55:21
Rangers-John, Hope you told him it wasn't that cold. 😁

12 Jun 2026 19:27:11
Didn't you see his name on his TransferMarket profile?

12 Jun 2026 19:28:49
Good info, John! You can tell him, from me, our winters are much milder than Hungary.

He's a very good young player, having watched him play against MTK Budapest. It has taken him less than a year to establish himself as one of the top 10 most valued players in DB1 in a list dominated by more experienced Ferencvaros players. No mean feat!

12 Jun 2026 20:04:02
Tell him we have shops that sell jackets lol.

12 Jun 2026 20:17:19
Aye, sponsorship deal with North Face! 😀

12 Jun 2026 20:37:00
Akpe Victory by any chance?? We were linked to him a few weeks ago.
