Rangers Transfer Rumours

26 Sep 2026 14:28:31
Got talking to an old friend I knew when I worked at Hearts and he says we are looking at their young striker James Wilson. I have seen a bit of the lad and I liked what I saw. Think he could develop into a decent player.

26 Sep 2026 15:15:12
As far as I'm aware we've been watching him for nearly two years.

26 Sep 2026 16:09:35
The pipster yes, not sure how McInnes being at Rangers will impact on that, Wilson is an outstanding player, I think EHL rates him.

26 Sep 2026 16:16:15
I think it would cost us £6-8m to buy him from them.

He's an exciting young striker and we're a rival club.

If they value braga at £7-8m I think he'll be 6-8m tbh.

Is he worth that to us I'm not so sure.

26 Sep 2026 16:16:21
I heard that McInnes basically told Wilson that he wouldn't be part of his plans and his best option would be to go out on loan.
Now, this could have been down to the form of Braga and Shankland.

26 Sep 2026 16:34:31
I don't think there's a hope in hell we sign Wilson - which is a shame.

Our only slight chance was in January, but even then it was but a glimmer.

Hope I'm wrong though.

26 Sep 2026 16:56:04
Thanks for replies, when he was on loan at spurs they decided against option to buy at 2 million pounds.

26 Sep 2026 17:36:57
Has a year left in 6 months can sign a pre contract Hearts ain't getting 6-8 million.

26 Sep 2026 17:44:31
6-8 million? Currently valued at 1 million and out of contract in the summer so can sign a pre-contract in January.

26 Sep 2026 19:51:08
I didn't know how long he had left.

He's worth more than 1 or 2 million even with a year left.

25 Sep 2026 17:46:59
Hello folks,

Delighted with the last few results and finally having a team with an identity.

One of the plans we are looking at and I was hoping it would have been out by now is we are exploring "safe standing".

Very early stages however the club will go out to season ticket holders I believe in the new year to engage on everyones thoughts.

We are looking at our match day experience with VAR also, on how the club can bring live time moments to the fans in the stadium. I may add we aren't the only club in Scotland, there seems to be a lot of feedback regarding match experience for those inside the stadium compared to those at home. This across all of SPFL.

25 Sep 2026 18:52:56
Rangers have been exploring safe standing for at least two years, is in fab minutes

Great update from fab papers released today re var.

25 Sep 2026 20:21:21
Would be better if it was displayed like the TMO in rugby internationals. No faffing about with the refs on that.

25 Sep 2026 20:40:38
That would be excellent way forward fork.

25 Sep 2026 20:53:08
I'd like that too John as it let's the crowd hear what's happening in real time 👍.

25 Sep 2026 21:13:53
Fork, football fans and commentators aren't the same in rugby and football. Rugby accepts the decision and moves on. Football will never b happy by nature.

25 Sep 2026 21:30:39
I'm aware of that like everyone else, it's the process I'm talking about, it's not hidden it's in the open, unlike var.

25 Sep 2026 22:42:18
I get what you're saying fork and that's exactly what I'm saying fans wouldn't accept ref explaining things. Football fans see things through their own microscope and explaining things only makes an impossible job worse.
Unless football fans change to accept the refs decision explaining it will make it worse.


The biggest thing that needs to change is football fans you see the same behaviour at kids football towards refs who in their right mind would do it.

25 Sep 2026 22:44:38
John I have tried to be professional with you however your tone and the way you try to mock anything I write is unbelievably naive.

I have never known someone to have so much knowledge and respect from others but the minute another poster has a bit of credit or praise you shut them down.

I have always had the up most respect for anything you have posted and on 6 of my previous posts you tear into it.

I thought the green eyed monster is a term to describe the other side of the city not a fellow Rangers fan.

Have a bit more respect.

26 Sep 2026 02:08:19
WATP891

I think the issue with John and many others on here was when u started to take credit for information already out in the public domain or posted on here previously

From my perspective that's when comments towards u started to change

Appreciate all your posts, but not the ones where u were doing a lap of honour, and IMO resharing information already published

The great posters on here, and those with the most credit in the bank, share what they know and leave it there

Keep posting, just be mindful of they I told h so posts.

26 Sep 2026 07:30:15
Watp acknowledge the source or block me

I'm stating where it can all be read.

26 Sep 2026 08:29:32
I had a good chat with a ref who made the most obvious point about VAR, something I've never heard discussed before.

The onfield referee should have control of when VAR is used, so it's only involved if they ask for a review.

Made so much more sense.

26 Sep 2026 08:43:49
Great info ehl. Rangers 56 you're correct, mb if it changed we would become over Tim more understanding and receptive.

26 Sep 2026 09:24:05
Agreeable in principle EHL, yes, if he's unsure then I'm all for that, but what if he misses, say, some skullduggery after the play has moved on.

26 Sep 2026 09:44:25
John, not sure you can block someone on here 😂.

26 Sep 2026 09:50:41
Possibly would John but Its the balance between football being football. It's tribal and it's what makes it a cauldron the side the rugby doesn't have. Used to play rugby at an ok level different person watching and playing both can't remember discussing too many ref decisions possibly 2 in my life time in rugby.

Last Old Firm I've discussed tons.
Personally I'd do away with VAR it was there to help but it's actually hindering the sport. SFA should be nurturing better Ref's and FIFA needs to simplify rules that used to straight forward hand ball off side.

26 Sep 2026 10:00:35
Good response 56, I also would do away with var. refs don't give the decisions anymore and rely on var imo.

26 Sep 2026 09:03:14
I agree with you WATP. John can't be giving out ultimatums 'acknowledge the source or block me'.
It's a community John, respect the post or scroll on instead of tearing into the OP.

26 Sep 2026 10:17:29
I have also said this before and totally agree with you WATP 891. 👍 John hates someone to challenge him and sometimes he's got to realise that others from time to time get better info than him and does need to show more respect. 🤔 I've stated this for a wee while now and others like i said the other day, beginning to see what John is like from time to time by showing his true colours. 🤔 There's absolutely no need for this sort of jealous behaviour because John is a good poster most of the time 🤔.

26 Sep 2026 11:04:11
Thanks for this information WATP, many of us appreciate it. The response you got from an alleged respected member is out of order.

26 Sep 2026 11:18:28
Sws, you also have many sly wee digs at John. People in glass houses comes to mind.

Coopsleftpeg of course you can block/ignore someone.

26 Sep 2026 11:43:27
Always thought safe standing was a no brainer, everyone stands at euro and Celtic games as it is, getting on myself but always preferred standing at games, to what extent I don't know, front of Copeland, enclosures, bottom of every stand and enclosures, can't see anything happening soon right enough.

26 Sep 2026 11:44:24
Thats football Fork, but with 4 officials with the ability to call on an external review, hopefully they'd be few and far between.

26 Sep 2026 12:40:20
JFM how do you block someone on here, which is different from ignoring?

{Ed033's Note - Ignoring/blocking on this site is the same thing. On this site, it means on the main pages, you don't get to see the ignored/blocked users' posts/replies.

26 Sep 2026 12:55:28
Fair do's EHL👍

26 Sep 2026 12:56:18
Put them in your ignore list in your profile

26 Sep 2026 13:06:53
Refs calling for a review sounds good in principal because on the whole that is how the Rugby system works, however they still allow the off field officials to intervene and inform the ref of something he might have missed. That should be the whole point of VAR as well.

If we look at it from a neutral point of view, Beaton missed the Makhanya hand ball on Sunday and as much as we would have loved that finish to stand , it was right to disallow it. If it is allowed then its all we would hear about after the game and not our teams fantastic performance and I would rather win with no excuses. Ultimately the ref gets the chance to look at incidents again unless its a matter of fact.

I do agree though that fans in the stadium should be told what happening like they do in England. The penalty for Hibs earlier in the season is a prime example of fans having no idea what VAR was looking at and that can't be acceptable.

26 Sep 2026 13:10:56
Click on your own username, select my profile, scroll down and type in the username you want to block. They can still post replies to your posts, you just won't see anything they post. You can block up to 20 posters.


Easier just to ignore them if they annoy you. It's a site for debate and different opinions. Most people can debate in a civil manner. Apart from Fork who's just a nightmare. 🤣🤣

26 Sep 2026 13:51:53
They’re a surprise Walter. U join in against me quite often now. Obviously in your head.


Watp brings no new information,, sorry but it’s posted on here by others or stated in press conferences by manager.

Jfm I get frustrated when Watp comes on inferring new info,, final straw and why I called him out was final day of the window.

He reminded we should listen to him as he is always right and 99% of posters are clueless.

26 Sep 2026 14:35:22
EHL, could you imagine the chaos if our refs decide what to ref with tech and why not to?

Not for me. I wouldn't trust any one of them with this process mate.

26 Sep 2026 14:38:13
I know that John, I had read the info he posted as his own elsewhere before he posted it. I try to just take it as useful info that some may not have seen as not everybody searches for Rangers info.

Not sure why he posts it the way he does. It doesn't bother me right enough. My comment was in support of you and I hope you read it that way.

26 Sep 2026 14:53:08
Wsl it's difficult to compare because of the advantage rules and time the officials are allowed to make the decision.
I'd retrospectively apply yellow cards and red cards after games is my only use for var. Especially for diving.

26 Sep 2026 14:53:22
Jfm, I should do the same and will, yes I know u were supporting me, but I know for a fact 99% of posters on here are not clueless as was stated.

26 Sep 2026 14:39:38
Why does anyone need to be called out? Why?

If you don't like what anyone posts ignore it. But everyone on here can post whatever whenever provided it's acceptable behaviour!

John, I like your stuff, but it's not your site.

So many on here think it's their site, their rules. Proper clique.

26 Sep 2026 16:12:20
Gdog, correct not my site but if posters and their wee lap dog want to keep having snide diss well I'm not lying down.

26 Sep 2026 16:20:03
I don't like the ignore function tbh. I think it's a bit silly. Just scroll on or don't engage.

No need to block people imo. Of course others like it and that's up to them.

26 Sep 2026 17:38:25
I used it once Stevie, a poster called Cammy devlin who got banned. He then tried a new username and got banned again.

26 Sep 2026 18:40:51
"Nightmare" mmm that's remembered😉🤣.

26 Sep 2026 19:15:57
You know your my favourite poster Fork.

26 Sep 2026 20:15:03
Lol sweet talker 😉🤣🤣.

25 Sep 2026 13:51:14
I have heard that there is a strong possibility that we will sign Lewis Ferguson in January, initial 6 month with obligation to buy in the summer, part of the fee will be paid as a loan fee in January.

25 Sep 2026 14:26:39
Don't think we need him, especially at the numbers quoted.
But hey ho, here we go again.

25 Sep 2026 14:44:37
No chance we're buying him after our outlay!

25 Sep 2026 14:47:43
Bring back the football, I cannot bear to read another 3 weeks worth of Lewis Ferguson to Rangers chat.

25 Sep 2026 15:02:50
As tedious as this is, wouldn't a perfect resolution be we sell Raskin and buy Ferguson. Given one wants to go and presumably, the other is open to coming. Raskin has been excellent recently but I think Ferguson would be a considerable upgrade.

25 Sep 2026 15:28:01
When is Dahl arriving. Sorry Stevie couldn't resist.

25 Sep 2026 15:36:35
Come next summer he'll have a year left on his deal with an option of a year's extension so I don't think that the numbers quoted will be as high as they were this summer and given that Lewis wants the move and that he is down the pecking order at Bologna, he's less likely to sign a new deal so it makes sense for all parties if a deal can be done. Derek and Lewis want this to happen.

25 Sep 2026 16:19:07
Our private jet is already in a holding pattern over Hull.

25 Sep 2026 16:31:23
Ferguson has started every league game and finished every league this season, captain in a couple, don't know where he's down the pecking order is coming from.

25 Sep 2026 16:37:00
Vladimír Weiss Is on the same jet . Being him home.

25 Sep 2026 16:56:19
Raskin and Neil will do for me at the moment.
Has J H Dahl even started a game for Hull?
Time to move on and concentrate on the players currently at Ibrox.

25 Sep 2026 18:38:33
Would rather keep nico. I was one calling out Nicos performances, but tbh since he's came back into the team we've been so much better, he's thd glue of our team.

25 Sep 2026 18:53:57
Even if we lose the league this season, I think it's fair to say we won't need a big squad rebuild next summer. So we will or at least should sign quality only unless squad players leave, and need replaced.

Ferguson would come under first 11 quality for me. I still see him as the Raskin replacement in a 2 in midfield. We will again expect Raskin to leave.

25 Sep 2026 19:53:10
Raskin out for £15m ish and Ferguson in for similar give or take 2m and I'd say that's an upgrade.

25 Sep 2026 20:07:14
Has Dahl played for hull yet?

25 Sep 2026 20:22:49
Where is Slim Jim when u need him? 🙄.

25 Sep 2026 20:40:08
I believe Jardel is also signing with Ferguson.

25 Sep 2026 20:53:07
Dahls has one or 2 sub apps so far.

Really hadnt been given a chance at all yet.

I think there is a chance they'd let him out on loan.

25 Sep 2026 20:46:32
He's started because of injuries. Prior to injuries in the squad he was on the bench and was stripped of the captaincy.

25 Sep 2026 21:55:00
Anyone for John Eustace haha.

25 Sep 2026 22:31:25
Don't forget Jordan Rossiter. He's only ten days away.

25 Sep 2026 23:41:07
So our midfield started performing & now we'd want to break up that partnership? I'd rather Drago get some real minutes than blow £17 million plus on Ferguson. Didn't spend that money on the winger from Serie B so I don't see it & if Bouanani ends up being a superstar for would we not sign him? At least there's a chance to make money on him.

26 Sep 2026 00:49:11
So he's played every minute in the league this season, he was returning from an injury last season, why he didn't play as many games, Del or whatever you're called now, season before his injuries, voted best player in the league, down the peaking order is so far from the truth.

26 Sep 2026 09:45:56
He was down the pecking order, that's why he was stripped of captaincy. Club no longer saw him as a first pick. Status changed due to injuries in the squad. It happens. Also why Lewis camp was trying to get move in the summer and club were happy to move him. Fee was agreed with Lewis camp that would allow a move.

26 Sep 2026 13:11:41
Not saying I don't want Ferguson but if the team keeps playing the way it is and Raskin is happy to stay until the summer I would rather we do that. Even if Nico were to leave I think we would need at least one more to go before we would bring another midfielder in .We currently have 3 who are not getting many minutes and Barron likely coming back in January.

Come the summer we will be in a better position to sort out what we want in this area , because we also have to consider what we are going to do with Rice and Nsio especially if they have good seasons in the SPL.

26 Sep 2026 14:30:48
For me, we only move for Ferguson should anything happen with Raskin or Neil.

26 Sep 2026 15:28:50
I think Ferguson will be Raskin replacement either in January or in the summer.

26 Sep 2026 16:36:26
Why did we bring in Drago for 4m if Ferguson is going to be Raskin's replacement?

26 Sep 2026 19:52:15
Lisbon, because you need more than 2 midfielders, mate.

23 Sep 2026 10:32:03
What's the contract situation with Cortes? Is it an option to buy for Huracan as he starts every week he actually scored a free kick against river plate last week.

23 Sep 2026 12:33:08
Hopefully we can get back what we paid as he cost £3.2m or something like that did he not?

23 Sep 2026 12:51:19
He's scored a few goals this season, seems he didn't settle in Europe, he's still only 22 years old, started off well before injury, think it was a big chuck of his fee Stevie, can't remember fully, but read a bit about his loan deal at the time, sure it was around 3m but a good sell on.

23 Sep 2026 12:52:14
I think his loan run until January. There is a buy option at every window which increases £500k each window. Huracan cannot afford to pay any fee so will not make the move permanent. He is contracted to us until 2029 so we will be able to loan out to another club and hopefully they take him off our hands.

23 Sep 2026 13:23:16
Looked to have bags of potential prior to his injury. Pity he hasn't fulfilled his early promise. I don't think he has any sort of a future with us. I doubt we'll get anything much for him. Injuries happen to most players, just really unfortunate (for the player & us) in this case.

23 Sep 2026 13:33:05
I look at the difference on Gasamma with the way DM wants him to play and I think Cortes could benefit from it too, he looked excellent when he first came in, I know it won't happen but I wouldn't mind him sticking about for a few months to see if he could do a job, it'd be no lose for us.

23 Sep 2026 16:24:18
By all accounts he has done really well for them so hopefully they take up the option.

23 Sep 2026 16:25:38
Earn, injuries didn't help him at Rangers, but he's still only 22 years old.

23 Sep 2026 17:43:46
Just checked him out, he's actually played in all 10 league games this season, 2 goals 1 assists.

23 Sep 2026 20:09:30
Bougherra.

23 Sep 2026 20:50:47
Young preforming in a league better than our I would look to make a small profit.

23 Sep 2026 21:42:50
Cortes is a simple, take what you can and accept the loss.

Shame, but it happens. good luck to the lad in his future!

23 Sep 2026 22:03:12
we are, according to Huracan, only selling 50% of him so a 50% sell on fee; and of total price, not just profit. Cortes wants to play in Europe so around £1.5M upfront in the deal and then profit later seems a good deal by the recruitment team again for a player we don't want.

23 Sep 2026 22:20:10
Angus, read something a while ago, that's probably where I'm 3m from, but did see it was a good sell on.

23 Sep 2026 23:19:57
Well let's assume come the summer he's had a good season and his team can't afford him, he could get an offer from a club who can or. And a big or. He comes back to us and is gave a chance in preseason.

I'd be happy with him being gave a chance, everyone deserves one.

24 Sep 2026 02:31:43
2029? WTAF.

24 Sep 2026 03:05:43
I posted roughly a week ago that cortes form at Huracan has been excellent, he has played nearly every game for them,
Predominantly as a RW and occasionally on the LW, he seems to excel more on the RW
The same position he has played at most clubs since his qualities got him a move from Millionarios to Lens in the French Premier League at 17/18, a quick check of his highlights at Huracan anyone can see he is playing the best football of his career since his break through seasons at Millionarios, his loan ends at huracan in time for the winter break,
He is a very direct attacker which suits McInnes style perfectly
And he tall and has superb pace, ball control, skill, seen him take overhead passes down on his chest ( while surrounded by 2-3 opposition players)
Chip the ball back up in the air over the player blocking the his attack channel and dummy the players in the opposire direction of his chip, then collect his own chip over and strip the defence cut in and score from outside the box, far better than Yokota whis out injured for a while, would be daft to throw away a quality young player with his abilities, can do it in a league that better and harder than ours, 3 mill would be a bargain for any buying team, bring him home and unleash him on the spfl as a RW and you will all see his true qualities.


EHL will be on to shoot me down again like last week, but the proof is there for all to see.
Personally i hope he returns to us, and tears the the spfl a new one to silence all his doubters, we have seen players in the current squad that were mince at the start of the season that we wanted rid off before the window closed, now they undetstand McInness style and ayatems they are now spoken of highly,
Cortes deserves the same chance, get him back in and watch him excel for us, his injury and form issues of past are long gone.
Boys a real talent now and would kick arse for us on the RW, can also play CAM / SS / LW.
Crazy we may spend 15 mill upwards on a loan to buy player, yet we may let a player whos form is much better leave for 1.5 to 3 mill.

24 Sep 2026 07:37:52
We've got to have a look at him when he's back McInnes might think he's good and maybe get a tune out him as he has done with Gassama I would definitely keep hold of him before trying to give him away for pennies.

24 Sep 2026 08:01:06
Star the way I read the fee for the deal was confusing as it slightly increases every transfer window for the 3 he will be there. initially I thought we got it all which amounted to just over £3m but reading more closely the max we can get is somewhere over £1.8 (I think).

24 Sep 2026 10:29:53
Cortes loan ends in December, I'd bring him back and see what he brings.
Agnus, I just had a quick look mate.

24 Sep 2026 10:30:46
Locher, he only signed last summer.

24 Sep 2026 11:27:12
Beale it could be like a whole new signing mate and would allow Curtis to go out on loan for 2nd half of season.

Makes more and more sense when u talk about it.

24 Sep 2026 11:53:07
Curtis is contributing just now why would we get rid of him in the hope Cortes delivered?

Not against Cortes getting another chance but shouldn't be to the detriment of Curtis, who only has a year left and isn't likely to sign again if we pap him out on loan to get Cortes in.

24 Sep 2026 12:26:33
Wishy I take you're point mate, from where I'm coming from mate Curtis loan would be for his benefit not detriment.

6 months starting every game as a forward would have him raring to go for next season and we'd have a better player than having him as a sub every week.

Once yokota is back he's going to struggle a bit for mins so my thinking was Curtis on loan, after signing a new deal, and let the yokota / Cortez and Gassama/ minsu battle it out

I do take your point however mate and it would be one to weigh up.

24 Sep 2026 12:27:06
Amd buonini is still to find his feet at that price meeds mins.

24 Sep 2026 13:17:07
Stevie if he hadn't been playing at all I'd agree but he's playing and doing well mate so can't see him wanting to sign a new deal to go back the way and go on loan when he's getting good minutes.

24 Sep 2026 14:34:23
Bouanni isn't looking like a 18 million player just yet when he came on the other day he didn't look interested whatsoever maybe that's just his personality but he needs to get serious if he wants a transfer to us.

24 Sep 2026 16:20:38
I really doubt Cortes will be back, I just hope he continues his recovery and retains his fitness.

24 Sep 2026 16:47:50
See Bouanani mentioned above. Just passed him sipping coffee outside the Tennis club on Hyndland Rd. Is he bunked up at 1DG for now? 🤔.

24 Sep 2026 16:57:25
Parlane believes he is still there, due to move during international break.

24 Sep 2026 17:17:51
He's not really had much chance to impress yet, let's remember how negative we all were a few weeks ago when we are judging bounini lads eh?

Let him find his feet as hell struggle to break into this team for at least a few weeks after the break.
The break will do him good and he can settle in and learn the weather and culture and get to know his way around the city and training ground and stadium.

I'm sure he'll come good.

24 Sep 2026 17:50:38
Cheers, John 👍.

25 Sep 2026 05:42:10
Cortez looked great first 3 maybe 4 apps. Then fell off a cliff after he came back.

I think tactics and manager has to be looked at as a possibility for that.

I'd give him a chance again in new year definitely

He can't be worse than Mccausland and the Scott Wrights and Matondo dof the world who got a chance.

25 Sep 2026 13:55:52
Parlane I understand ranger pay up to four weeks for a player to stay there, on signing they are assigned an Individual to help them find a property.

Some players do extend a stay at their cost for a variety off reasons.

25 Sep 2026 20:25:17
Gassama? Aye he's improved I'll give him that, but his decision making is still needing work, he's in too many minds when it comes to the final ball, imo.

22 Sep 2026 21:14:44
Nsiala away to UAE for 300k. Shame. Thought he looked like had real potential to begin with but never pushed on. Wish him well.

23 Sep 2026 07:27:11
Kaiser liked him, wish him well.

23 Sep 2026 08:18:50
I wish young clinton Nsiala all the very best 👍.

23 Sep 2026 08:50:09
The boy made a couple of mistakes never to be seen again, whereas big manny is making them every game, it's strange. I liked him as well. I know manny had money in the bank with some quality games, but I felt for the boy young players always Going to make mistakes, it's how quickly they learn from them.

23 Sep 2026 09:04:44
Dont think we've seen him since Barry took him off that day.

23 Sep 2026 09:50:43
Wish him all the best, I don't think he got a real chance, but I guess I didn't see him in training as he may not have showed enough there to get more of an opportunity.

23 Sep 2026 10:02:53
Barry was vindictive and simply found a target.

23 Sep 2026 10:11:58
Not really sure why so many seem to rate Nsiala🤷. He looked ok on the ball, but his defensive abilities and positioning were pretty dreadful. Clement, Martin (ok not saying much), Rohl, McInnes all obviously didn't rate him. Even when he went on loan to Belgium he only made 3 appearances I believe (2 as a late sub) so he clearly wasn't rated there either.

I also remember someone saying on here that when he was playing for the under 21's numerous players that came up against him commented on how poor he had been🤷. Clearly he just wasn't anywhere near good enough.

23 Sep 2026 10:46:51
John, the boy shipped goals that game and looked a nervous wreck, any manager would've had him off.
I agree with many though he had something about him. First few games he was really good.

23 Sep 2026 10:48:55
I think it's a little unfair on Barry, I really liked Nsiala and thought he'd go on to be a great player for us. The reality that day is he was completely schooled and battered.

He had a mare and was rightly subbed. It was then on him to bounce back and learn from that, he didn't or certainly didn't appear to under a number of other managers.

23 Sep 2026 10:49:22
Cool Gers.

23 Sep 2026 12:05:39
Can we not throw digs at Manny every chance we get.

Love affair for a player who we have not seen for a while now Vs a guy actually playing for us is always wild to me.

23 Sep 2026 11:12:20
Nonsense John, umpteen managers didn't rate him. We could all see for ourselves he wasn't good enough or at least had the potential to make it at Rangers.

At Rangers we live in a bubble where we don't have the time to nurture players, especially the defence where any team will stick to the centre backs during the entire game. In a more forward role he may have got more chances, but as others have said he went away to Belgium and failed there also.

Good luck to him, hope he is a success and that's all it needs, one team with luck and hard work and he makes it on the bigger stage but it was so apparent that team wasn't going to be us and nothing to do with Barry Ferguson!

23 Sep 2026 11:49:29
If Barry was "vindictive" how come none of the other managers listed above, from Clement right through to McInnes, never played him but there is no comment on them? It seems to me like one person is vindictive about Barry!

23 Sep 2026 12:12:15
I liked the look of him but that's 3 managers since Barry that didn't play him so can't be doing it in training.

23 Sep 2026 12:29:51
I liked Nsiala, but Fernandez shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence, far greater player right now with far greater potential.

23 Sep 2026 13:01:53
I felt that the boy was thrown in before he was ready due to injury problems in defence. He did OK until that home defeat by St Mirren when he was outmuscled for both goals ( I still say he was clearly fouled at the first one ). That game highlighted his weaknesses and he never recovered.

I would have thought " toughening him up" is something that could have been worked on in training but it never happened for whatever reason.
No manager since Big Phil seemed to rate him so its probably best he moves on. Good Luck to him, I hope he does well.

23 Sep 2026 13:39:39
Coopers killie game Barry shafted him. Mi opinion, if it's aloud.

23 Sep 2026 14:33:53
Cal a love in for a player no longer ours? What you on about? I've said many, many times about how much i rate Fernandez, I was giving an example of what happened with one of our young players, Fernandes just happened to be the player that's made the most mistakes recently, the one that came to my mind. That much of a love in I've not mentioned him on here for over a year and a half 😂 that makes sense.


Mystar what are you on about as well, did I rate them technically, ability, potential, as football players, no! Only you done that, why you twisting my words? Did Nsiala make a couple of mistakes, never to be seen again, yes! Has manny been making mistakes in nearly every game, yes. All true, absolutely no mention of potential, ability.

23 Sep 2026 14:56:17
Boy got rag-dolled in a couple of matches.
His gers career never really recovered thereafter.
He was decent on the ball though.

23 Sep 2026 15:00:08
Everyone has their opinion but I'm delighted Nsiala leaves on a permanent deal. Pretty good on the ball. Lovely technique, but a poor defender who didn't suit the Scottish game. Quite weak defensively and physically. I wish him all the best.

23 Sep 2026 15:42:41
Boy blue there's this constant romanticising of players who really did nothing for us. Truth is Nsiala was part of one of the worst defences we have had in recent years.

Him and Propper where both ragdolled on multiple occasions.

Manny has made mistakes yes but not any more than Katic did who is constantly talked about here.

23 Sep 2026 16:38:04
Cal god forbid Rangers fans talk about Rangers players past or present on a Rangers fan page.

23 Sep 2026 17:57:09
Not sure what kind of wage he was on but could have been worth keeping and loaning out to see if he becomes a player. Hopefully we've put a sell on clause at least.

23 Sep 2026 17:33:52
Cal who's romanticising mate? My post wasn't about how good he was, it was more to do with a young guy getting a chance making a couple of mistakes, not being seen again, felt for the boy. Your talking about romanticising, love affair, while mystar is comparing manny and Nsiala, what is that about.

Your both Totally taking my post out of context. What has Katic and propper got to do with anything, have I had a love affair, or romanticised about either? No! Btw proper, katic, or Nsiala never finished 3rd, so that's up for debate if they were the worst, just saying.

23 Sep 2026 19:34:41
John, everyone is allowed an opinion..thats what this site is for. But blaming one manager for a players failed progression is wrong!

He wasn't good enough!

23 Sep 2026 20:05:21
He got subbed and we won the game John. He was having a mare at the time wouldn't call that shafted but i think he had potential. Weve got makanya who is the same age so its all about levels.

24 Sep 2026 00:44:03
Stevie we can talk about players without having constant digs at the ones currently playing. Hope that helps. :)

24 Sep 2026 03:12:28
Best game Nsiala had for us was at LB when Clement played Jefte as a LW.
They paired up nicely and Nsialas passing was superb.
Think he's better suited at LB, he doesn't have the direct strenghts of a CB on the levels of Bassey, Fernandes, Makhanya
Remember Bassey was viewed by SG as a backup LB to Barasic,
We seen how that worked out once GVB came in and we were short of CBs for the Europa group, Bassey not only excelled at LCB but went on to perform as one of the the best CBs in Europe and the best CB in the entire Europa league Comp, with Goldson in 2nd position.

23 Sep 2026 23:49:52
Barry was vindictive towards him and who were these three great managers that overlooked him were are they now?

24 Sep 2026 00:48:43
Boyblue you are deeping this way to much bud.

I am speaking about a generalisation of our fanbase not you specifically. I never even mentioned you in my original comment.

24 Sep 2026 08:48:18
Sorry gentlemen I'm intitited to my opinion re treatment off Nsiala., don't like it scroll on.

Big dado its nothing to do with killie game. Subbing him was 100 he was treated after that

Something EHL spoke about when he was at club.

24 Sep 2026 12:30:41
I agree with John that Nsiala wasn't treated properly by the club in terms of being given a platform or chances.

I can't speak for the Barry situation as I know nothing of it.

22 Sep 2026 20:18:59
Nsiala signed 2 year deal for Sharjah. Off to UAE.

22 Sep 2026 15:32:35
Not sure how interested anyone on here will be to here this but here goes😂 a friend who's a Celtic fan(don't judge😅) told me there's a consortium involving Rodgers, McStay and Lord Willie Haughey trying to buy out Desmond. And players such as Duran and Hogh aren't happy about being occasionally dropped while McGregor keeps his place in the team, O'Neill has handed in his resignation not just because of recent results but with their summer signings also(or lack of).

He was expecting more midfield and defensive options to be bought rather than the loan signings(who he had no input in bringing in). All in all not a very happy camp at the moment, unlike ours! Oh and there was more to Roy Keane being at the match than just spectating. Majority on here won't really care what's going on in the other side of the city but I myself found it quite interesting (and funny) to hear. May the meltdown continue 😅.

22 Sep 2026 17:20:20
Rwn Duran has only been sub once for them, and Hogh twice so although I suspect they would be unhappy, as would any player, they have rarely been dropped. Hogh has been injured for more games than he was sub.

but I suspect like earlier this season when we were playing poorly there were all the rumours of McInnes being unhappy with our recruitment and the recruitment team and this is the same. so probably like the story below just a lot of people making lots if assumptions whilst the other side are having issues.

if they go for Roy Keane, then very good as he hasn't managed for 15 years and wasn't particularly successful then if memory is right, although that is stretching my old mind a bit 😉.

22 Sep 2026 17:48:18
Angus, he won the Championship with Sunderland in his first managerial job, mate, were in the bottom 3 I'm sure before he came in, think it was October, but wouldn't mind him as Celtic manager though.

22 Sep 2026 18:07:10
Would much rather O'Neil was staying tbh. No wonder their signings were so many loans as surely they didn't view him as a long term solution. Whoever comes after him whenever that happens will want their own players.

22 Sep 2026 18:22:51
My star. just shows how bad my memory is but if they take him after 15 years out then that is probably best for us if O'Neill does go. although I suspect that is just a lot of noise around his comments right after the game.

If our manager wasn't disappointed then I would be unhappy. didn't Gerrard say something as well about walking away; so just an instant reaction to the disappointment.

22 Sep 2026 20:09:24
O'Neil's resignation will be announced tomorrow with them apparently looking at Eddie Howe to replace him.

22 Sep 2026 20:17:59
Really hope he stays. Nicholson statement tonight backing O'Neill.

22 Sep 2026 20:19:52
As long as McGregors playing they will have major issues. he's finished.

22 Sep 2026 20:38:52
Oneill's going no where according to sky sports.

22 Sep 2026 20:52:29
They're backing him 🎉.

22 Sep 2026 20:23:28
Yip they've released a statement saying he'll be backed to the hilt.
And rightly so he's just win a double and is still in Europe and 2 points clear at the top of the league.

What is wrong with Scottish people that we think that's a sackable offence or worthy of resigning.

22 Sep 2026 22:01:29
Angus, that was 20 years ago mate.

22 Sep 2026 22:52:32
Have already fired Howe into the reckoning, but they might have to wait till January.
He has a huge pay off from Newcastle will need settling.

22 Sep 2026 23:15:36
No chance Howe will go there. I can see McKenna going though.

22 Sep 2026 21:18:10
Listen I'm not a fan of Martin O'Neil for obvious reasons but I think he needs to stand down for his own health's sake. Other than that I care not a jot about them or who's unhappy.

Duran has bags of ability and I was concerned about him for both games but he acts like a sulky little petulant child. Reminds me of another Colombian we know.

23 Sep 2026 00:19:45
Howe I don't think will go there, there will be EPL jobs coming up soon enough and would think he'd be top of many lists.

23 Sep 2026 00:54:24
Canter, he's scored a couple of crackers and done very little since, only going from what I heard from men following them.

23 Sep 2026 08:07:52
Roy keane will know getting money out of Celtic board will be hard, he will have seen how much Celtic have to do to stay at top i personally think he is quite happy with his pundit work also would eddie howe be happy to join another team where getting investment in players is a stuggle not so sure not like lennon would probably jump at the chance.

23 Sep 2026 08:51:06
From what I've heard Mckenna is first choice however they need to wait til July 1st or pay £8m in compo that was the reason they were keeping O'Neill for another year unfortunately I work with loads of the unwashed so I do get snippets of what's happening over at the dark side.

23 Sep 2026 08:59:13
I have total confidence in our manager, Derek McInnes and don't care who that lot have as their manager. 🤔 I believe we've now got the right manager who'll take us to where we all want us to be and be a successful Rangers manager that's all i care about and not perturbed who Derek McInnes comes up against as our rivals manager, i trust McInnes 💯% 🥊🇬🇧.

23 Sep 2026 09:18:02
My niece works for haughey and she said that Brendan Rodgers and some guy from the Saudi team that Rodgers manages was in haugheys office in his city facilities building last week having a meeting, what for who knows, but they were definitely there.

23 Sep 2026 11:04:37
Anyone who thinks Roy Keane will give up his extremely lucrative punditry work to come and manage at the scaffold-dome I feel is misguided. Let's just hope they do as they did with Nancy and hold their fire, until we gather further momentum.

Have to say, a game v bottom team of SPL at home on 10th October may well be our biggest match before Christmas- no slip ups - foot down and then we can enjoy the chase.

23 Sep 2026 11:56:33
A whole lot of guess work and possibly made up stories coming up here. While I have no love for them, or indeed for St Martin, it must be said that he did unbelievably well to get them over the line at the end of last season. Our collapse and Hearts s******* themselves helped of course, but it was still a job well done. Right that's enough praise for them.

O'Neill is clearly unwell, the pressure he has chosen to put himself under is not helping his clearly fragile health, and I fully expect him to walk around Christmas if not before.

I have no information on any meetings or potential replacements - my take on it is from seeing the guy talking on TV before and after the game where he basically made an arse of himself by trying to belittle a pundit and then claiming there was nothing between the teams! His voice seemed strained at both ends of the game and he is looking his age.

25 Sep 2026 14:42:27
TBH I'm just enjoying watching the circus while we march on. Most enjoyable viewing watching the Timothy melt down.
