Anyone heard anything about us talking to Xavier Mbuyamba in a pre-contract deal i know he is a free agent in the summer and we have looked at him before. I think this would be a great deal good solid CB.

Aaron's and Djiga are horrific defenders. I would prefer it if club terminated both of those loans right now. But in order to do that the club would need to bring in another CB, and another RB, in this window. I don't think that will be viewed as a priority.
Rangers have one of the best defenses in the SPFL. 17 goals conceded which is the same as both Hearts and Motherwell I believe. Not to mention, most of the goals and assists are coming from Tavernier and Fernandez. The defense have done most of the heavy lifting this season.

reports of him saying he's in discussions with other clubs at the moment, but nothing more definitive that I've seen linking us to him explicitly. This is one I'd like to see happening. Can only hope.

Ibrox we have met him re a move.
15 Jan 2026 11:03:32
The rumour is he was over here in the UK other day and club held exploratory talks to get a better understanding of his heart condition and any barriers it could cause.
Not sure if it's one we will pursue.
15 Jan 2026 11:25:31
Hearing the club are not actively perusing him now.
15 Jan 2026 11:42:09
We 100% spoke to him and his representatives.
As things currently stand, the club have not made him an offer and I'm not aware of an offer being planned.
Suspect we have moved on.

Aaron's is a better defender than what we have but doesn't fit the team, Dijga is what a 13m player?
You're the same guy who said we overspent on Chermiti, you don't know whether a player is good enough or not you make instant judgements and make sure to put them under pressure so you end up being right
13m > 8m and more than 12m spent on engles, but the fans know best, the old 'you don't get time at Rangers' that's claimed to be historic but has only existed as long as modern clubs have been sacking managers instead of giving them time, don't forget its a club standard of why people think this way, not an inability to think for yourself
Look at Celtic are you going to tell me they also randomly have a 'you don't get time at celtic' mentality that only existed after 2009
Both teams gave players time to settle and managers time to implement a style until recently
Its the classic say it over and over again until its true it has no basis in history
Are you guys going to give Thelwell credit if we win the league and accept you can't spot a player as well as the professionals?
15 Jan 2026 12:12:16
Thelwell won't get any credit from me mate, He's the guy who vouched RM. Full credit has to go to the current manager if he win 56.

My Point Made, Both Aarons and particularly Djiga have been rotten in a Rangers shirt and weren't exactly shining at their parent clubs, hence why we got them. To say that a right back doesn't fit a team when he is being asked to play right back is strange and Djiga has been error strewn his whole time here. You mention Chermiti, I would still say for that kind of money he hasn't been good enough, he is showing some better signs now but two goals in an OF game doesn't make you a good Rangers striker.
Thelwell won't get any credit because his appointment of R. M and his signing of too many players who took too long to settle put us miles behind in a season that a good start would have had us in front. His overall strategy was flawed and left to him we would have struggled to make a Europe place never mind win the league.

My point made, us spending our second highest ever transfer fee on a untested player with 2 goals in 2 years is a risk, chermeti seems to be coming good now but end of the day he's a striker, meant to be a 9 and then judged on goals scored, I'd say get off your high horse.
If chermeti comes a good signing then yes we'll done Thelwell for signing him but he also failed at most other signings so pipe down eh.
15 Jan 2026 12:41:45
My point made what are you rambling on about lol credit Thelwell who hired Martin? Who nearly decimated our season by holding on to him for how long? Who spent millions on loans that are no where near the required level? Who left us with a 18 year old loanee as our only left back? He might have made a couple decent signings but with the money he spent rightly so doesn't mean he deserves credit for it after the disaster he left us in.
The only credit he gets from me is wanting Danny Rohl in to fix the mess he created.
15 Jan 2026 12:57:31
Maybe point made is Kevin Thelwell 🤣.
