Here's everything transfer wise that I've tried to piece together using a lot of guess work.
GK:
New GK done and dusted for the summer. If Kelly can find a move before the window closes, we can bring this forward.
Def:
Tav not signing an extension, but will remain beyond this window.
Souttar extension done and dusted.
Nsiala will leave this window if Cornelius and Rommens fitness levels improve.
Deal for new CB done and dusted. Will cost a little to bring in this window (both salary and fee), so would be reliant on a significant sale.
Mid:
Deal for new 6 done and dusted, same situation as new CB.
Rothwell has interest from multiple clubs, holding out for his preferred move, which is dependent on a player being sold. - likely.
Dio, interest from France - likely.
Raskin, Interest from EPL - unlikely
Att:
Matondo, has interest but wants 100% pay off - unlikely
Gassama, interest from France - unlikely
Chermiti, interest from Portugal -50/50
Danilo, interest from Denmark/ Holland - likely
Curtis, interest from SPL. Clubs preference is abroad, looking at potential loan to Germany.
27 Jan 2026 08:50:33
Dio leaving this window would be disappointed summer can understand,
I also assume Matondo will never get a wage like he's getting at Rangers ever again so he's wanting his money I understand from his position i'd do the same.
27 Jan 2026 08:54:44
EHL is Nsiala getting sent on loan or sold mate?
27 Jan 2026 09:01:08
I get Matondo signed a contract, but that's just a pure riddy ? made a fortune n not kicked a ball, looks like more interested in money than playing.
27 Jan 2026 09:07:02
Great info EHL thanks very much.
27 Jan 2026 09:13:04
much appreciated EHL ???.
27 Jan 2026 09:17:49
Great update EHL. Some interesting prospective moves and cryptic clues on inco. i is, got to love it!
If we achieve a couple in this window we will be well set for the title run-in. ?.
27 Jan 2026 09:21:05
There'll be a 6 in by deadline day.
Club have agreed a deal with Kilmarnock for Curtis on loan. He will move there after the Porto game.
Danilo looks like he will be away to Cyprus, again after Thursday night.
27 Jan 2026 09:21:37
Thanks EPL. Interesting few days ahead.
27 Jan 2026 09:30:14
Thanks EHL.
The things for me I know he has a contract and entitled but BLOODY MATONDO.
Chermiti if we don't get our money back keep him.
Dio I would keep to Summer.
27 Jan 2026 09:35:01
Whats happening with that young striker we reportedly put a bid in for?
27 Jan 2026 09:36:47
Any names of the no6?
27 Jan 2026 09:40:49
Nobody can blame Matondo for wanting his contract paid up, it's a contract of employment and he is entitled to full payment. While we can all shake our head at it, it's fully understandable and he knows he's not going to play, it's his own career that he is ruining!
While I am not claiming to have inside knowledge, I don't think we will see all of the outgoings listed above. We will need to keep players for what will be a difficult run in.
27 Jan 2026 10:16:17
that I've tried to piece together using a lot of guess work.
So how much of this have you had confirmed from your Rangers / inside sources?
Curious what you can confirm so we know how much of it is actual guess work that you've pieced together, not a dig mate just asking for a iot more insight to get a better idea of what's what.
Is the CB Doekhi? seems likely as it would cost a fair few bob to bring him in now, and would take a significant sale to do just that.
then we would have the 2 top scoring CBs in all of Europe in the same defence, barry tarry.
27 Jan 2026 10:16:57
The move for the German striker has stalled.
27 Jan 2026 10:37:00
Doekhi is in talks with Aston Villa for a summer bosman.
27 Jan 2026 10:54:05
I think most of this is common sense. I think Raskin will be playing his football in Germany next season. Diomande in France.
27 Jan 2026 10:54:25
Surprised they would let Kelly leave especially if he happy with his position in the team, as need the home grown quota players for the European squad, and it's not leaving Cornelius and Rommens much time to prove there fitness for Nsiala to leave with the window shutting in less than a week now.
27 Jan 2026 11:08:56
German striker hasn't stalled, it's just at the stage where we have declared an interest but no formal bid has been lodged.
As many fringe players need to be available for Porto game due to not being able to use any of the new players I expect a lot of transfer activity from Friday till window closes.
I think the German boy is 1 of a number of targets but depending on who leaves and for how much etc will dictate what players we sign in this window or in summer.
27 Jan 2026 11:11:28
EHL great info but what about a striker?
See we are linked with a player from Germany according to X.
27 Jan 2026 11:22:16
Romano - Kelly is looking for first team football ahead of the World Cup.
Copland - haven't heard anything on a new striker.
27 Jan 2026 11:54:13
Not decrying your post as it is a rumour site after all but I would wonder about a couple of your points.
We can't be thinking about letting Diomande go this late in the window especially with Barron injured so if that is likely it would concern me.
As someone has said, with a week to go how do Rommens and particularly Cornelius prove their fitness enough to let Nsiala leave? Not sure why we would prefer Curtis to go abroad or why we would let Kelly leave at all at this stage of the window.
We should be looking to shed Danilo, Rothwell and Matondo (even on loan), but first team players should be untouchable at this point.
27 Jan 2026 11:55:13
Asa, what your opinion of Bodo Glimt's Kasper Hogh?
27 Jan 2026 12:05:44
EHL, thanks for the reassurances.
27 Jan 2026 12:16:43
Great info as always EHL.
I'm surprised we are looking to bring in another goalkeeper in the summer but would understand if Kelly wants to go. He seemed happy in interviews but I guess that could just being professional. Do you think the new goalkeeper would have a real shot at #1? e. g. is this backup or likely new #1?
I think we look more dangerous with Dio than Assgard but everyone has their price I guess.
Any further info on Chermiti? Is there more than 1 club interested? Why 50/50? Is it the player or price that would be more likely to stop a transfer? Apart from the Rothwell's etc, this is the one I'd really like to see happen.
27 Jan 2026 12:18:55
Can't see Dio going.
27 Jan 2026 12:20:11
Great summary EHL thanks for the updates. Think need to wait till after Porto then things will happen. Doubt any of the first team going anywhere apart from Danilo.
27 Jan 2026 12:24:26
Wsl,
What if we've previously given Dio assurances that if a club matches our valuation and they are in the UCL then we'd let him go?
On Rommens and Cornelius I'm pretty sure the medical team will have the means to test the fitness levels of the players.
Curtis, maybe our coaching team think it'll be better for his development to play in a more competitive league within a club that is structured in a similar manner to ours?
Kelly, maybe we're willing to let him go to play first team football in order to fulfill his dreams of making the world cup squad?
What if selling Dio for example created the financial capacity to bring in a new CB and CDM and the club thought this would make us more competitive?
Lots go on behind the scenes at clubs that influence decision making.
27 Jan 2026 12:28:52
Worrying thing is we only have one CM on the bench right now. Even when Barron gets back, I think we need 1 or 2 more cause Injuries will happen, Rothwell isn't the answer and can't be selling Dio with having a replacement done and in before hand (Toichi maybe that) plus he's finding form again.
27 Jan 2026 12:43:38
Cheers for summary ehl. Is the 6 and new CB pre contracts I take it with them being done and dusted?
LH not hard too understand as he has said 6 and CB done and dusted so I very much doubt that's guess work.
Fork would you give up 27k a week roughly when you know you have no chance of getting anywhere near that again? I know I wouldn't.
27 Jan 2026 14:27:30
On Kelly if he goes out on loan and makes world cup squad we get a fee for him at world cup feom national association di we not also we would get loan fee all monies could go towards a replacement.
27 Jan 2026 14:28:08
And maybe our young keeper ready for the step up to second choice.
27 Jan 2026 14:41:29
I doublt the Nsiala stuff as he's been nowhere near team evwn with injuries to corn/ Souttar/ Djiga afcon we still rather play tav cb or a midfielder further back i'd bet.
Also with only days lwft in window doeant make sense
But think mostly everything else sounds very very plausable.
27 Jan 2026 14:58:28
He might want first team football - which I doubt - but the 3 goalies will be Bain, Gunn, and Gordon.
27 Jan 2026 14:59:20
I did say I know he has a contract, yes he's entitled to it but still think it's a redneck.
27 Jan 2026 19:02:24
EHL, a lot of what ifs and maybes in that response. Not worried about Rommens but what if our medical team declare Cornelius as nearly fit and he breaks down again right away, alongside our two sicknotes Sterling and Souttar that could leave us exposed. Curtis would be better getting experience playing in the league that he will be expected to play in when he returns to Rangers.
Kelly doesn't need to leave, to play to get into a Scotland WC squad that has no first choice keepers in it. Maybe Diomande has an agreement like you say but we would be mad to let him go unless that's the case. We'll see how many come true.
27 Jan 2026 19:19:42
Okay dokey WSL.
