Rangers Transfer Rumours

03 May 2026 20:36:40
Further to the Jayden Wareham enquiry. We also spoke to Chelsea about the potential of taking Omari Kellyman on loan next season.
Stuttgart seems to be his preference for now.

04 May 2026 11:42:55
Hopefully teams will see how well MM has done and that will help us get high level young players on loan.

03 May 2026 19:00:16
We're very interested in a loan to buy for Josh Doig as competition for Rommens and an additional Scottish option for the European quota.

03 May 2026 19:27:26
I very much doubt this.

03 May 2026 20:08:18
I think we'll need to sign 2 right backs and 1 left back in the close season, but I also can't see it being Josh Doig Bear 🤔 Doig would want to go to a club that he's first choice, mate. 🤔

03 May 2026 20:10:08
We ain't bringing Doig to play 2nd fiddle, although if Rommens continues picking up knocks, keeping him out for weeks at a time, we will need another Lb.

03 May 2026 20:34:42
Penrice, perhaps a better candidate for the LB back up. Doig seems happy with life in Italy.

04 May 2026 00:00:05
Doig would cost at least 5m euros, maybe 6m. I can't see that happening unless swap for Bajrami plus cash, but then not as back up.

04 May 2026 09:48:40
Surely we are looking at other options as Rommens is our no1 LB option.
To those, itk, is there an LB who is currently at the club ready to move into the first team?
Think, as a club, we are too quick to release young players, with Robbie Fraser and Ross McCrorie being two examples.

03 May 2026 14:58:36
Spoke to an agent yesterday down south and mentioned that Rangers enquired about Exeter City striker, Jayden Wareham.

03 May 2026 17:07:29
Done a wee bit of digging about a goal every 2 games, League 1 England not the best league, but when you consider Exeter are sitting 21st, that's quite impressive numbers from the boy.

03 May 2026 17:40:32
Lad knows where the goal is and is full of confidence. He'd have the mentality to be here. Wouldn't have a problem having him as part of the squad.

03 May 2026 18:46:26
Thanks for the information, true-blue.

I know nothing of the lad so will defer to the expertise of those who do.

03 May 2026 20:32:29
Watched some of his goals. His movement is good in and around the box, looks like a proper poacher.

03 May 2026 20:33:23
It's expected that he will most likely move to the Championship but Rangers enquired with club and agent about the conditions of a potential deal.

03 May 2026 14:24:58
Aph, is this players you've heard we are linked with or interested in. Or is it players you would like us to move for? . The reason am asking is a have heard there is a bit of a disagreement between stig & Rohl on what is the right recruitment policy for us stig favouring Scandinavian/ eastern European.

Danny Rohl favouring a African approach. This situation brought to my attention by 2 different sources one a football agent outwith Scotland & 2 members of our scouting team

03 May 2026 14:29:30
Kip, it is the first option. Although, I have added in different posts players I would like to go for.

03 May 2026 14:49:01
Cheers Aphelion, has yourself or anyone else heard there is a bit of a difference in approach between Stig & Rohl? Now I do understand that both could be brought together by signing players like Dio & Chuck who ticked both boxes.

03 May 2026 15:11:57
I've not heard of any difference in approach between Stig and Rohl - actually don't think there would even be a great deal of interaction between them.

Everything I've heard is that the current recruitment team and Rohl are working well together and are looking to rebalance the squad across a number of areas, with the priority being getting deals done early to replace those who will not be returning.

There is an overall frustration within our recruitment team as the interest from players identified in Scandinavia is lukewarm, and the gut feel is that we'll be used as a plan B whilst players try to secure better moves.



This isn't ideal, as there is some serious movement required ahead of preseason and we don't want to waste time and energy on players only to miss out on them towards the end of the window.

This may potentially be interpreted as the issue you referenced?

03 May 2026 15:29:04
Not heard anything like that, Kipbear.

Similar to EHL, the primary high end targets in Scandinavia have many suitors and a lot of that is from pre-existing pathways.

03 May 2026 15:35:50
Cheers Ehl, could well be as frustration can always be misinterpreted. There are so many moving parts to getting deals over the line, it can't be easy. Let's just hope the majority of our deals are done by the start of pre season & therefore a far more organised & am sure intense pre season awaits the players.

03 May 2026 17:16:33
Any deal for Mikey Moore probably wouldn't happen until near the end of the window. Spurs will want to take a good look at him, they will include him in their pre-season camp, and might involve him in some pre-season games of their own.

03 May 2026 19:29:26
Why would we be trying to get deals done early but then waiting till the end of the window only to be refused and lose the player who is stringing us along?

If I remember right, John had stated we had given Doekhi a deadline to sign, and because he hadn't, we moved on.

Surely this should be the same for any player we are after? We should have multiple targets for each position, so we are not involved in being strung along yet again.

03 May 2026 19:29:58
Moore will not be with us next season, Rohl.

03 May 2026 20:24:56
Bbj, I think you've misread my post.

We aren't looking to get into protracted deals that drag on, hence the frustration at the early dialogue with targets in the Scandinavian market.

03 May 2026 20:43:09
Yes, I did, EHL. My bad, been a long tiring day. :/

03 May 2026 22:26:47
They've already had conversations re Moore and have asked if they can loan him again next year. Moore and camp happy if it can happen, which is no secret. Moore and camp already met with Spurs new manager to discuss future plans. Believe it'll be us or Spurs.

02 May 2026 19:38:57
Great result today against Fredrikstad, now onto the the Norwegian Cup final next Saturday.

Cletus I note your team got the result you desired well done my friend 💙

Now if I may I would like to group together some of the rumours and links that I have heard or have other knowledge of.

As for right backs it is my understanding that Diogo Travossos is primary target with Hampus Skoglund being the preferred alternative.

It is also my understanding that the club hope to sign domestic or homegrown players to supplement the squad as rotation/squad options.

I personally don't have knowledge but have heard through this forum of some.
Ross Mccrorrie
Luke Graham
James penrice
Jack Milne
Elliot Watt.

Now onto some players that I have heard.

Henrik Falchener- primary defensive target
Tobias Guddal
Elliot Stroud
Silas Anderson- primary
Jens Hjertø-Dahl - primary
Jonas Therkelsen
Mihaly Kata
Alexander Bernhardson
Tobias Bech
Felix Beijmo
Jonatan Braut Brunes
Gabor Szalai

Now i am in no way suggesting that the club will look to sign all of the players mentioned but i understand they would be under consideration as alternatives to some on the list.

Also please don't assume this as fact, I bring this forward as a discussion point and rumour. We may sign none.

02 May 2026 21:52:05
Thanks Aph, sounds like the club are hopefully quite far on with transfers already.

02 May 2026 21:52:15
Thanks Aph, sounds like the club are hopefully quite far on with transfers already.

02 May 2026 22:59:05
Thanks Aph, all your posts are greatly appreciated. It's always good to look at new players I've never heard of and get a bit excited by them. 🇬🇧

02 May 2026 23:26:46
Thanks Aphe. As far as I am aware. Deals are already done. Which I have mentioned, mate.

03 May 2026 00:59:32
What deals, Whitehorse?

03 May 2026 07:13:44
Thanks for the very good info Aphelion. 👍 It's going to be very interesting which right back we do sign to replace James Tavernier. 🤔 In all probability we'll need to sign 2 right backs ie. our primary no.1 right back and another good right back for competition for our first choice, as unfortunately Sterling is in and out with injury issues. ☹️ Aphelion, I know your preferred right back signing to replace Tav is Hampus Skoglund mate, although you have stated that it's your belief that our no.1 target is Diogo Trovossas.

🤔 I must be honest, I don't know much about both Trovossas and Skoglund and wouldn't know myself which one I'd choose. 🤔 I suppose time will tell who we sign as Tav's replacement. 🤔

03 May 2026 07:31:54
Thanks, Aphelion. A good round up. As u say, many names mentioned won't happen for whatever reason, but are good for discussion. Some will be ones were scout but don't pursue, others will be ones we want but can't get over the line, and some are just suggestions, but all are good.

03 May 2026 08:32:52
SWS, I have never said that Hampus is my preferred candidate, my friend.

I have stated it would be inappropriate to make a comment, as I do not know enough about Travossos.

Thanks guys, hopefully we can sign a good amount of the primary targets.

03 May 2026 08:43:23
Ok, Aphelion, my apologies, my friend. 👍

03 May 2026 08:50:07
No need to apologize, my friend. I would be delighted if Hampus is signed.

03 May 2026 08:50:29
Thanks for those rumours, Aph. Some interesting names there.

03 May 2026 08:52:48
Any truth in Victor Nelsson as a possibility?

03 May 2026 09:06:36
Not that I am aware of, Gvb.

He has been an ever present for Hellas Verona who hold an option to purchase at the end of the season.

Personally I would not be wanting to sign him.

Galatasaray are looking for around 7.5 million Euros according to the purchase option.



I personally would prefer Tobias Guddal, but Henrik Falchener is another excellent defender, and both would have significant resale potential, which would not be available with Nelson.

03 May 2026 09:21:20
I don't have a great deal of knowledge on many, if any, of those players.

However, from what I gather, we won't be overly active in this market.

03 May 2026 09:32:42
I appreciate your feedback, EHL. Out of curiosity, which markets do you see us targeting?

03 May 2026 09:46:19
Why such a focus on Scandinavian players, Aph? Is this a new market that we are looking into heavily? Not against it, far from it, actually, just interesting to see such a focus on that part of Europe.

03 May 2026 09:55:07
Would be happy with either of the 2, Aph, Travossos or Skoglund. Can I be greedy and say I'd have both?

03 May 2026 09:55:14
Irvine, these are players within my area of knowledge.
Yes, Rangers are certainly becoming more visible in Scandinavia, and it would be a much better valued market than the English market we have used for so long.

The players mentioned are based in Scandinavia, Germany, and Hungary.

03 May 2026 10:34:00
Totally agree, Aph. I've often talked with friends in the past, wondering why we never scout up there or Eastern Europe. Thanks for the information. Enjoy your Sunday, friends!

03 May 2026 11:52:53
Good info, Aphe. I'd imagine the signing alternatives revolve around expected European qualifications etc.

The Hjerto-Dahl one is the one I'm most interested in. He looks a player but I would be surprised if we can pull that one off for a number of reasons.

03 May 2026 12:14:43
Aph, From what I understand we're keen to grow our reputation and standing in those markets. However, as things stand, we're just not seen as a viable step for the quality of player we're interested in.

03 May 2026 12:39:26
Thank you very much for your response, my friend. I completely understand that point. Hopefully, by targeting some of these players we can disrupt the traditional pathways.

03 May 2026 13:18:21
The Scandinavian market hasn't really worked so far Olson, Antman, and Aasgaard.

03 May 2026 13:23:46
Aasgaard was English market. 😇

03 May 2026 13:30:02
He's Scandinavian.

03 May 2026 13:37:10
So your issue is nationality?

Is your issue with the Scandinavian market or just those who represent Scandinavian countries.

Thelo Aasgaard has never lived in nor ever been employed by a Scandinavian club.

He is a product of Merseyside and went through English academy structure.

03 May 2026 13:50:27
My issue is the 3 brought in have been poor. One plays for Norway, one Finland and one Denmark. 3 Scandinavian countries. You're the one with the problem with Aasgaard, you're basically saying he's not.

You go on about people getting behind the team, every player counts. Do you not support him when he's got the national team jersey on? Is he Norwegian then I don't get your gripe.

03 May 2026 13:58:47
I support every player.

You had a problem with me stating that signing Aasgaard was Rangers utilizing the English market and not the Scandinavian market.

So taking into account the facts of the matter.

Aasgaard is a product of the English academy structure and has played his entire career prior to joining Rangers in England.

By very definition, this is the English market.



You could name 3 players from almost every region that have not been successful at Rangers.
Should we just stop signing players? Should we just give up.

One from Finland, one from Denmark and one from England who chose to represent Norway due to eligibility through one of his parents.

Now I support him like every player that pulls on the Rangers and Norway shirts.

03 May 2026 13:58:56
He played for Norway under 16 and under 20. His father is Norwegian, makes him. Yes, he did play for Liverpool youth before going on to Wigan at 14, till he went to Luton.

03 May 2026 14:02:39
Bassey, Fernandez, Aribo.

Did Rangers make use of the Nigerian market?

No, they made use of the English market.

03 May 2026 14:05:50
You clearly don't understand the basic principles of what we were discussing.

You are arguing nationalities.
This has nothing to do with nationalities.

Yes, he played for Norway at age grade and now senior level.

The boy Glasgow has been called up to Portugal age grade.
It would still make him the Scottish market for clubs looking at signing him.

03 May 2026 14:06:39
A mentioned 3 players, you're the one who is saying he's not Scandinavian.

{Ed001's Note - omg he is not. You are being obtuse and it is getting embarrassing.}

03 May 2026 14:11:08
So by your thoughts then Harland isn't Norwegian as born in Leeds, grew up a Leeds fan, called up to the Under 16s for Norway. Am not here to argue, enjoy your Sunday mate. 👍

03 May 2026 14:12:39
No, again, you are backtracking.

In case you need reminding, your post stated.

The Scandinavian market hasn't really worked so far: Olson, Antman, and Aasgaard.

You mentioned the Scandinavian market.
I have stated multiple times that Aasgaard was not from the Scandinavian market; he was from the English market by very definition.

03 May 2026 14:16:18
And, again, what a ludicrous thing to say.

Erling Haaland is a product of the Bryne youth academy, where he started from the age of 5.

Try get something correct, please.

03 May 2026 14:25:38
So, by very definition, Haaland would be seen as Norwegian/Scandinavian market.

Bryne from the age of 5-16.

Molde 16-18. From childhood into adulthood within the Norwegian structure.

03 May 2026 14:27:09
Thanks Edd1 👏

{Ed001's Note - I don't understand why he was arguing, it was perfectly clear what you were saying and why.}

03 May 2026 14:49:01
I thought so too, my friend. It appears some cannot differentiate between national representation and being a product of a certain nation.

I maybe should have used Michael Olise as a better example.

100% product of the English market.

03 May 2026 14:54:33
Thelo was signed from England.

Antman was signed from Holland.

Olson was signed from Germany.

Chukwuani was signed from Austria.

All Scandinavian players, but none signed from the Scandinavian market.

Unless I'm mistaken, our last venture into the Scandinavian market was Dio, who is Ivorian.

03 May 2026 15:24:49
Have to laugh and omg from 001. 👍🤣

03 May 2026 15:27:53
Ehl, you are correct, my friend.

I had deliberately chosen to widen the scope, as most people's understanding of markets relates to the leagues and regions players originally come from.

So Chukwuani was a product of Nordsjaelland.

Antman started in Finland and played his formative senior football at Nordsjaelland.

Olsen was a product of Nordsjaelland.

Diomande, you are correct, is a product of RTD/Nordsjaelland.

02 May 2026 15:03:43
I read an article this morning, that Rangers are interested in Liverpool loan right back/right midfielder luca stephenson who's currently at Dundee United on loan 🤔The report also states that Rangers were interested in him in january 🤔 Liverpool will want at least £2million for stephenson 🤔 Is this the right back we want as tav's replacement 🤔

02 May 2026 15:15:54
It was put up here weeks ago by someone, so maybe some truth.

02 May 2026 15:16:36
A replacement back up right back maybe. 🤔

02 May 2026 16:39:42
We need better for our first choice right back. Plus Liverpool always rip us off for players they don't want!

02 May 2026 16:55:11
Coops, I have heard Ross McCrorie will be coming home next season. 🫡

02 May 2026 17:19:14
As our first choice right back, Florida Bear. 🤔

02 May 2026 18:01:01
Aye, Davies anyone 4 million, waste of money.

02 May 2026 18:01:18
Surely, if he is, it's as back up.

02 May 2026 18:32:18
Curtis played right back today.

02 May 2026 19:09:18
Yes, Coops. Offer on the table from Rangers and one on the table from Crystal Palace. 🫡

03 May 2026 07:37:43
I think McCrorie was just a suggestion we could go for, not that any concrete interest, though I could be wrong. Been put off any deals with Liverpool after all the money we've wasted on them, though, being honest, I've watched nothing on Stephenson.

03 May 2026 09:22:21
Kaiser, there is definite interest in McCrorie.

The club have been in close dialogue with him since January.

03 May 2026 11:25:59
I said there was interest a while back. I can't say I've personally seen him, but he's meant to be doing brilliant at Dundee United.

03 May 2026 11:46:15
Ross McCrorie currently plays for Bristol City, Davie. 🤔

03 May 2026 12:11:01
I would take Ross back in a heartbeat.

03 May 2026 12:19:57
McCrorie wasn't good enough when he was here, and isn't good enough now.

03 May 2026 13:28:08
Sir Walter, I was talking about Luca Stephenson. Boy on loan from Liverpool at Dundee United.

03 May 2026 14:05:33
Ross would be a very good squad signing. Can cover a number of positions and give us strength and athleticism, which are key attributes.

02 May 2026 11:31:16
A mate heard a rumour that there's a friendly against Aston Villa pencilled in for 25th July. Anyone else heard this?

02 May 2026 11:58:33
Maybe a friendly as part of a deal for Bailey Rice. Give Villa an opportunity to see some of our other youngsters up close.

02 May 2026 12:04:51
He probably saw it on Follow Follow 3 days ago.

02 May 2026 13:05:43
I know you've got a soft spot for the Villa EHL. 👍

02 May 2026 15:51:13
News to me, SWS.

02 May 2026 16:42:06
I thought it was you a few weeks back who said you liked the Villa EHL. 🤔 Sorry if I got you mixed up with someone else, mate, because someone on here definitely said it. 🤔

02 May 2026 17:08:40
EHL, how highly do you rate Bailey Rice?
I thought he looked a good young player, but no manager has been willing to give him a chance, so it would suggest he's not ready for first team games.

02 May 2026 17:59:27
Alex, technically very gifted - which meant he didn't have to work too hard through the youth system.

He really needs to get out and get game experience in order to add some much needed physicality to his game.

02 May 2026 20:06:35
I know about this one in depth. It's not happening. A slightly embarrassing episode involving DR and AC. Let's just say, Villa won't be doing us any favours any time soon. Pretty gutted about this one.

02 May 2026 20:08:51
Sws - it was me. I have close ties with Villa.

02 May 2026 20:15:14
So why is it not happening, Ibrox4Me, if you don't mind me asking mate. 🤔

03 May 2026 07:49:04
Deal was done with contracts in place. Short answer is that DR pulled the plug, as he didn't want to risk a heavy defeat to a high flying team on the eve of the new season. Villa very unhappy, and negotiations have made us look very amateur. Surprising, given the way we are now conducting ourselves off the pitch. I know this to be 100% accurate.
