Rangers Transfer Rumours

18 Aug 2026 11:06:40
A brief update
Amario Cozier-Duberry - well known the 7 million bid has been thrown out.
We had bid 5.5 upfront with 1.5 in achievable add ons.
Brighton want 10, from what I hear they see this as 7 up front for PSR, if Rangers bid 7 plus add ons this may be a goer.


The player and agent have both indicated they would like the move if we can achieve European group stage football

18 Aug 2026 11:16:40
I did a good few posts on him a few months back.

We offered just over 5 million as a package in July, and it was laughed off. We have increased it to 7 million as a package, and it's still rejected.

We aren't the only club sniffing around him. I think he is a talented young player.



However, my own personal opinion: why would Brighton sell an extremely talented player to a rival of a Tony Bloom group?

It doesn't make sense unless Rangers are paying over the odds, which I don't believe they are prepared to do.

18 Aug 2026 11:30:06
That fee is far too much for what is an untested player - We need to move on from this guy and go to the next target.

17 Aug 2026 22:42:47
Kosta Nedeljković signing on loan with obligation at £4m apparently

18 Aug 2026 02:41:17
Villa fans seem sad to lose this guy. Looks like good business on our part. The obligation is dependent on appearances.

18 Aug 2026 06:52:59
One off the wish list.

Really like the look of this one and fits the model perfectly.

18 Aug 2026 07:10:45
I agree, Ehl 👍 Nedeljkovic looks a really good right back and could be a good signing for us. 👍🇬🇧

18 Aug 2026 07:12:40
Really good signing. He has all the attributes to really progress.

18 Aug 2026 07:18:48
Like this signing but do hope his injuries are behind him.

Also, good to help big Drago settle quicker and maybe another Serb!

18 Aug 2026 07:21:35
The injuries are a massive concern.

At least it's only a loan with the conditions he has to play x amount of games for the obligation to be triggered.

18 Aug 2026 07:41:17
2 knee injuries and a back injury in the last 3 years. From what I can see, his injuries were over 187 days across 2 seasons, with 34 games missed (23/24 & 25/26). Does that indicate someone who is injury prone? Not at all! If he was injury prone, and a concern, he'd be out with little niggly injuries throughout the year, season on season.

Again, from what I can see, he was injury free throughout the whole of the 24/25 season. Think Sterling, Jack, Roofe, etc, and then you have a truer definition of an "injury prone" player.

18 Aug 2026 07:52:17
All best if he signs.

187 days = 26.714 weeks, that's a few games missed.

18 Aug 2026 08:00:33
I read the obligation depends on playing a set number of games. Which hopefully protects is a bit grim that injury history.

18 Aug 2026 08:20:48
Injuries don't ever concern me. Anyone could tear their ACL tomorrow.

3/4 starting back 4 could be on loan - again. Means we won't sign a centre half now unless we sell Fernandez.

18 Aug 2026 08:22:51
Bigbluejim, not disagreeing with you but I've seen this thing about helping Dragojevic settle more than once and I don't think he's looked like a lad who needs much help with that, might be the other way around at this point.

18 Aug 2026 08:25:48
Scouting department seems to have had a kick up the back side. I'm really liking these past two signings. Think, with Shanks, Devlin, Mcrorie, Neil, they are squad fillers and we would have been paying same amount of money or more for players that wasn't ours on loan. Smart business so far.

18 Aug 2026 08:35:59
Honestly, it might not be the scouting department's fault. They might be giving the club a list of great players to sign, then we can agree with the players' terms or the selling club. It's not always the scouting department's fault.

18 Aug 2026 08:39:59
Maybe it isn't the scouting department having a kick up the backside. Maybe it's people actually listening to the scouting department.

People don't appear on scouting reports then in the club overnight. These lists/reports will be curated over many months and years.



I'm also not overly concerned about previous injuries, especially these kinds. Could happen to anyone. Yousef hadn't had any and now he's got an ACL and is out for a year. I'd be more concerned about 30 minor muscle issues than 3 bigger mechanical injuries.

18 Aug 2026 08:46:38
Just a bit of info as I did a bit of research into the boy last night after mentions of injury prone etc.

This info could potentially be wrong, so don't take it as gospel, but from what I can see.

He missed 5 games through a back injury last season, as well as 11 games through a "stress" knee injury. 2 seasons prior to that, he missed 18 games with a different issue in his knee.

Stress injuries essentially come through over-use of parts of the body and are common in youth players as their body is still developing. He also went from youth football pretty quickly into the professional adult game, and moving on to the EPL and the demands in that league.

He's also made 11 appearances for the Serbian national side, so the demands placed on his body when he's only 20 could be a reason why the injury happened at RB Leipzig.

Leipzig also had a EUR15m buy option and we've managed to negotiate that down to £4m obligation based on appearances, which is a very smart piece of business.

He's also managed appearances in 6/8 preseason matches for Villa this summer. Not putting him in the injury-prone bracket yet, and he is a very exciting signing.

18 Aug 2026 08:56:03
Ehl, one of your wish list down, hopefully a baldy Czech winger will be the next one. 👀

18 Aug 2026 09:15:48
Good signing, good business by Rangers. Who'd a thought we'd be saying they words?

I actually don't want Cerny back. I'm all for wee Yakota!

18 Aug 2026 09:19:16
What does this mean for Sterling? Will he be used as CB cover, giving our CB 4 as Godfrey, Sterling, Fernandes and Makhanya. Also McCrorie can fill in at CB if needed.

If Sterling isn't sold now then I don't see us buying another CB.


It's now RW, LW and ST we will go for, can't see us doing any more business on incoming after that unless certain players are moved on and positions need filled.

18 Aug 2026 09:48:36
Zungu, why would Drago help him? This lad has been at Villa for a bit, and out of Serbia since being a young lad. Drago has just left Serbia for the first time, so it would also be good for him having a fellow Serb here. That's why you'll have seen it mentioned, I'm guessing.

18 Aug 2026 09:55:13
Can only help Drago and Kosta settle, we live in a right mess of a country, every little helps.

18 Aug 2026 09:58:11
Good for the both of them to help each other, bbj.

18 Aug 2026 10:38:04
Maybe Kosta and Drago don't like each other as both played at rival clubs haha.

18 Aug 2026 11:16:39
Most footballers aren't the same as fans, Rangers and Celtic fan players are all pals at English clubs etc that they play beside each other. They will have played at Serbian youth set up together as well, I'd imagine.

17 Aug 2026 23:03:19
Rangers striker target venezulan international Kevin kelsy who currently plays for portland timbers has interest in him from Nottingham Forest,
como, valencia and an unnamed German club 🤔

18 Aug 2026 06:21:33
Would like us to get this one over the line. Big, physical guy.

18 Aug 2026 06:30:10
If the fee is north of $10 mil, then surely that's too much?

18 Aug 2026 07:20:01
Whatever we are doing, I hope we identify if he is willing to join quickly and don't drag this on too long because we don't want a long drawn out chase to then lose and be chasing our tails.

18 Aug 2026 07:20:11
Neil, think that's going rate for a decent striker in today's market. Chermiti was 10m and never scored a pro goal.

I don't want us spending 5/6m and getting someone that's not good enough.

18 Aug 2026 07:42:26
Think we paid 8 mill for Chermiti. This lad be a touch over 7 mill.

18 Aug 2026 07:56:23
Up against some stiff opposition for this signing.
Quest is, do we have the pulling power to sign.

18 Aug 2026 08:43:56
Valencia won't be able to afford him.

18 Aug 2026 08:54:00
I hope not, Ryan. 🙏

18 Aug 2026 09:57:20
Is Gelhardt still a possible? He did well last season on loan to Hull on sea, was it?

18 Aug 2026 10:21:26
Signed for Hull City ( £6.5m plus add ons).

17 Aug 2026 20:18:03
Heard we have targeted Jonathan Panzo who may have been mentioned on here before.

17 Aug 2026 21:23:44
Oh dear, I really hope not.

17 Aug 2026 21:28:06
Nawww, really hope not. We need an experienced CB.

17 Aug 2026 21:39:55
He's out of contract. If we were targeting him he'd be here.

17 Aug 2026 21:51:57
He's rotten.

17 Aug 2026 22:02:11
Garbage who can't even keep a contract at Birmingham? Pass.

17 Aug 2026 22:30:47
Sorry for posting such an awful comment about something someone said to me. I won't do it again. In fact, like my old friend Thorntonsuite and many others, I'll just let all you experts, gossips, fantasists and sweetie wives get on with it. Bye.

17 Aug 2026 22:41:02
Noone is coming at you for posting the rumour, mate, just giving their opinions on the player.

17 Aug 2026 22:52:29
Jesus folk are getting quite sensitive about potential players not being universally welcomed lately.

17 Aug 2026 23:12:55
You've dived in head first there, Hubby 😂 They're only giving their opinion? No-one's come for you there at all, pal.

17 Aug 2026 23:19:05
Hubby, why are you taking it personally that a CB who has nothing to do with you is? 💩

17 Aug 2026 23:21:12
Nedelijkovic close to signing.

17 Aug 2026 23:23:38
Jesus, get your knickers untwisted, you posted a name and folk gave their opinion. We didn't rubbish your rumour.


Sensitive wee souls, lately.

17 Aug 2026 23:27:37
There's nothing wrong with your comment, it's a good rumour. It's just that we'd be going backwards if we went for him, we need quality.

17 Aug 2026 23:48:49
Nice Marchdale.

18 Aug 2026 06:22:32
Post more, Hubby, find even more unpopular players. 😂😂😂

18 Aug 2026 07:20:58
Maybe he could just name a bunch of former players, Iron lol.

18 Aug 2026 05:17:32
Snowflake

18 Aug 2026 08:38:53
Cheap can play lb at a pinch, he would be cover in case someone else got injured, and could play lb at a pinch, so as long as it's low low wages why not.

18 Aug 2026 10:00:34
A rumour on here? Whatever next! Hubby mate, calm down.

18 Aug 2026 10:16:58
Wow overreaction of the century hubby. Put your tampon back in not one person said anynting negative to you. He is not a good player so it's no suprise people don't want to see him signed.

17 Aug 2026 19:57:26
I'm hearing some right dodgy stories about Souttar, don't want to say in case it's just rumours from Timothy, but they aren't great.

17 Aug 2026 20:31:12
What you classing as dodgy, Andy?

17 Aug 2026 20:34:39
Some rumours or innuendos are better not posted.

17 Aug 2026 20:34:59
Something ain't right, that's for sure, or he would definitely be in the squad if not injured.
With big Manny needing a sit on the bench, he would have been the obvious replacement. My honest opinion, a don't think any of the 2 want to be here.

17 Aug 2026 20:48:00
Not to sound like a dic*, but why even post this then?

17 Aug 2026 20:43:54
If you don't want to say, why bring it up, what an utterly stupid post

17 Aug 2026 20:56:48
Only thing I heard is that the Americans aren't happy at some things he has said, and he's not to play for the club again.

17 Aug 2026 21:07:35
Been at Brechin Boys Club football recently anyway. Seen Rangers fans locally get few photos with him.

17 Aug 2026 21:13:02
Let's supprt the big man whatever his problems may be, he's a Ranger and has captained us, so let's show him that respect back.

He will move on and take his problem with him, and hopefully put it in his past.

Good luck to Big Soapy.

17 Aug 2026 21:22:52
The rumours have nothing to do with what he's said or done at Rangers.

17 Aug 2026 21:41:03
Someone has obviously gone on behind the scenes, however, we could definitely use him just now. Our current CBs know they're guaranteed a start at the minute and that is showing on the pitch.

Players who have earned their spots, or are in competition for their sports are a lot more switched on. What we have just now are CBs who look like they're playing in second gear.

17 Aug 2026 21:46:37
From what I've read from some other posts, we are aware something is going on with Souttar and that there's something 'fans' don't need to know.

He's still training. Clearly it's personal, and I hope that he's OK and whatever decision has been reached is best for him and Rangers Football Club.

17 Aug 2026 21:24:04
You're "hearing"?!

If this is linked to the story that was in a well known gutter rag about hotel hookups, physios, and playing away(no pun intended) then who cares?!

This, I'm sorry to say, is nothing new, and until names are named(Did someone say super injunction), it's only scandalous rumours.

17 Aug 2026 22:20:32
And who's Timothy?

New account, and it seems like you've come here to stir the pot.

I'm not interested in gossip. People have a right to privacy and I actually think Souttar is a decent player.

Puts his body in the line and would have run through brink walls for Rangers FC.

Could be doing with more of those kind.

17 Aug 2026 23:30:49
If it's not all over the tabloids and social media pages already, it's probably not a massive headline. The story I heard was just that two clubs south, and one in Scotland, have put offers in for him. One was out of the question from a very personal level. None of the clubs were offering wages anywhere close to his current salary, with one of them being pretty insulting for an international player.

If he is going to sit on his hands and take the £17k per week, and it upsets his employers, then fair play to him. He still thinks he has much to offer, so it's understandable if he wants to be choosy. They can always rip up his contract and pay him the £700k he is still due?

18 Aug 2026 08:34:48
The cat's out of the bag. Him and Oor Wullie went out and shot Andrew Cavanaugh and Danny Rohl's car windows with their catties after Tavgate, the club are trying to keep it quiet but a display of dissent like that can't be tolerated.

I'll be relieved when he goes simply so we can stop hearing him called "Soapy" but at the minute he's probably a less terrifying prospect in defence than Fernandez

18 Aug 2026 09:30:57
Where are people getting this over inflated idea of Souttar's ability?

He's had maybe 2 or 3 good games for us, the rest of the time, he's a bomb scare and costs us goals.

Personal life is just that, personal, but he's not good enough to play for us, end of.

Cya later.

18 Aug 2026 10:09:02
This does look like talk doon the wash hoose, maybe in the huff the manager doesn't want him, and right now has to make difficult choices who goes and who stays. Ra Sellic have one right now in the huff and can't shift him, happens at every club.

He is a CB that can carry the ball, but defensively a wee bit erratic. We have at least one other similar, defensively, who on here was worth £25m a wee while ago. Aye.

17 Aug 2026 18:43:36
Contrary to other posts. Rangers are in a strong position to sign Kevin Kelsy from Portland Timbers. Player keen on the move and Portland will let him go for right fee. Rangers have tabled a loan to buy however Portland holding out for a high 7 figure permanent deal.

17 Aug 2026 19:24:37
Conflicting reports on Kevin Kelsy as other media outlets saying Portland Timbers not wanting to sell and he's happy where he is. 🤔 Time will tell, but I really do hope you are correct, Deacon, as I really like the look of Kelsy. 🙏

17 Aug 2026 19:27:04
Would rather spend the cash on Cerny and get a loan striker in.

17 Aug 2026 19:32:11
Give the Cerny stuff a break, he didn't want to be at Rangers and time to move on.

17 Aug 2026 19:33:05
We are never going to match the wages that Cerny is getting over in Turkey, that's the only reason half of these players end up out there.

17 Aug 2026 19:36:08
Nope, I will keep it going as I want him as a Rangers player that I know will score goals and create them too.

17 Aug 2026 19:50:04
As much as I would love Cerny back, I think that ship has sailed, they didn't sign Salah and he starts for them so I just can't see it happening at all.

Be happy if it came out of nowhere and was just announced though.

17 Aug 2026 19:57:31
Cerny is on 40k a week. He isn't coming.

17 Aug 2026 19:58:33
Cerny doesn't want to come.

17 Aug 2026 19:58:40
I really hope we stick to a 433, but this amount of interest in another striker is telling me otherwise.

17 Aug 2026 20:10:41
Going for a striker, and fans say don't go for him, go for Cerny 🤦‍♂️. What chance we got. We need an out and out striker and a target man who can run in behind and cause defenders problems.

17 Aug 2026 20:12:13
Cerny has absolutely no sell on potential. Mind you. We don't seem to want to sell players even for a very good fee! It's happened too many times now.

17 Aug 2026 20:18:02
Lm, every chance Miovski moves on.

17 Aug 2026 20:24:55
Cerny is starting for the team in Turkey and scored only yesterday. Why do people think he is coming back to us? It's as delusional as thinking Ferguson is going to sign.

17 Aug 2026 20:31:39
Yes, I'm bored of Cerny name now. Regardless, if the club never wanted him or he never wanted to, his wages are a bit much for us.

17 Aug 2026 20:56:24
Cerny on big wages, think club will go with younger player, less wages and possible big transfer out even if he cost more on initial transfer, if it works it's a big win, if not, well we are Rangers.

17 Aug 2026 21:15:31
Cerny is on around 40/45k a week, and in Turkey they only pay 20% tax. If we were to even try match what he takes home just now, we'd have to pay him 60/65k a week. It's just not happening.

17 Aug 2026 21:24:04
Rfc, you can harp on about Cerny all you want, but he's not coming. He's on huge wages and didn't want to stay in Scotland.

17 Aug 2026 23:01:00
Kelsy has struggled at some clubs, but Portland seems to be the place for him. If we get him, I truly believe he has a far higher ceiling than Cerny does. I have a friend that was involved in a scout package on this lad a few years back, and his opinion is, if we can get him and he hits form, we would easily smash the Scottish sale record.

17 Aug 2026 15:40:52
Rangers 'have £7m bid REJECTED for Amario Cozier-Duberry

17 Aug 2026 15:57:19
They want £10 million.

17 Aug 2026 15:57:52
We should offer £8m EUR10m for Cerny and be done.

We need to do what McInnes pushed with Penrice, and pay the money and get the people we need.

17 Aug 2026 16:22:47
Oh really want Duberry, think he could be one of the game changers we need.
Also be a great asset down the line with being still young at 21.

Think he would be a great addition.

And one I've wanted to happen since I heard we were interested.

The fact the money is there from the failed signing of the PSV winger lifts my spirits that we might now actually get him.

17 Aug 2026 16:31:34
Another good piece of business if we can pull it off. Don't think the signings we have made have been all that bad so far, with hardly any of them getting a few games back to back before you can judge.
New Ch has looked good, same with Japanese boy, wee Serbian Cm as well, keepers have been decent, with a few goals conceded taking deflections en route.


Shankland will be better, but still 2 goals and 2 assists, having only played 1 90 minute game.
Penrice has looked bright so far.
Others, the jury is still out, with probably only McCrorie underwhelming.

17 Aug 2026 16:48:31
Fifty, I don't think Shankland will start much, as I think we're now going to go with the formation we played yesterday, which doesn't suit Shankland at all. He's not mobile enough to play lone striker.

17 Aug 2026 16:55:15
I hope somehow we can get Amario Cozier-Duberry, Thestigno1. 🙏 He plays on the right wing, the same position as our Japanese right winger Daisuke Yokota. 🤔

17 Aug 2026 17:00:10
Fifty 6, where are you getting 2 goals and 2 assists from? Shankland only has 1 goal for us.

17 Aug 2026 17:01:40
Murph, even better that he's English, so he comes here and does well, then we can sell for a premium.

That said, though, I don't really want Yokota getting dropped for him.

17 Aug 2026 17:10:44
Still need a lw, him and Yokota rw, Gassama and other for lw, need a winger for either side, cf, cb, rb, am happy, Raskin is sold, creative cm.

17 Aug 2026 17:14:40
8million plus Ross McCausland!

17 Aug 2026 17:30:43
I'm with you, Stevie, rather pay the money for Cerny. Coming from League 1 is a big leap. Could be another Gassama/Asgaard.

17 Aug 2026 17:32:41
Gazza 8, 1st game V Dundee United where he held off opponent to set us Aasgaard. Yesterday's back heel of the post and we scored rebound. Think he's scored 2 pens, coming to think of it, I think 1 was a friendly.


He is the perfect guy to bring when you need a goal, but playing 1 up is the best way to go and he lacks the mobility to play that role, I think.

17 Aug 2026 16:23:14
Stevie who said Cerny wants to come back? he's also rumoured to be on 45k a week. So are we then going to break our new wage structure to accommodate him? The club have worked very hard to reduce wages structure over last few years.

17 Aug 2026 17:44:52
Fifty 6, must be related to Shankland. Your boy, he has 302 minutes and 1 penalty goal, no assists.

17 Aug 2026 18:30:47
56, clutching at straws there, big man.

17 Aug 2026 18:51:39
Did anyone see much of Bolton Wanderers last season in League 1? I suppose someone must have, but maybe McInnes was too busy to watch them. Yep, would far rather have Cerny.

17 Aug 2026 19:07:05
Fifty 6, I'm not writing anybody off but so far Shankland has been poor despite your attempts to include friendlies in his goals tally. His only competitive goal so far has been a penalty. McCrorie has been terrible, Godfrey has been injured, Neil underwhelming, and Devlin has been Devlin.

I suppose they are the 5 from the bargain bin, brought in as squad fillers, so we shouldn't expect any better, but none of them have impressed so far.

17 Aug 2026 19:34:03
Depends what he's paid in, Peter. If it's lira, it will be a lot less. It's worth one-tenth of its value from about 9 years ago and is still tumbling. Since Cerny signed, it's lost 25 percent of its value.

So, if we take the 45k worth of lira, times it by 0.75, that gives you the equivalent today, which is 33k. Give it another year. It will be about 25k. So, if he's getting paid in lira, he will want to jump.

17 Aug 2026 19:58:03
Very confident this deal will be done.

A left sided winger also to come in.

17 Aug 2026 19:59:44
Likely be euros, I would think. Anyway.
Regardless, he wasn't too happy in Glasgow the 1st time around, not sure he'd be keen on a move back. Even at 33k we're not paying that anymore.

17 Aug 2026 20:09:04
Cerny ain't going to sign for us a wish fans would just move on, it's getting boring the same old names constantly getting mentioned when it's clear we can't afford the wage he's on and also how do we know he's going to be the same player for us, was reading the other day about Sima as well. 🤦‍♂️

17 Aug 2026 20:25:37
Cerny ain't coming back. 🤦‍♂️

17 Aug 2026 20:30:07
Right, that's it, sites finished, Slipper say we're not allowed to discuss possible targets, nothing to see, move along.

17 Aug 2026 20:41:28
WhatsTheStory with a RW and LW coming in hearing much on Curtis going out? Think I would rather see him go out and get experience than be 5th choice winger.

17 Aug 2026 21:13:50
Fork, no need to take the nip, only saying every time someone mentions a possible rumour they always get shot down with the same old boring names that we ain't going to sign. Cerny is on fortunes, and in my opinion it was a non starter from the beginning.

But, by all means, if it keeps you happy then fire away with the same old rumours not going to materialise. 🤦‍♂️

17 Aug 2026 21:53:59
Cozier-Duberry would be an outstanding signing. Think Yokata might even switch to the left if he comes.

Here's a question, guys. 🤔 Hypothetically speaking, if we're lucky enough to sign big Kevin Kelsy, which striker would start the most for us between Shankland, Naderi, Miovski or Kelsy? 🤔 I, hand on heart, think Kevin Kelsy has everything in his locker to be a massive success in Scottish football. 🤔

Living down south, I take in a good few lower league games. This Duberry is someone we should pay what Brighton want. He is an outstanding talent and will also go for big big money in the future. He is two footed and fast, and also has an eye for goal, hard working player. Please go get him, Rangers. 🙏🙏🙏

Honestly, would rather we went for Maswanhise from Motherwell.
