Rangers rumours 4

04 Sep 2026 12:05:11
Anyone hear anything about Raskin going to Saudi?

04 Sep 2026 12:34:22
There was a vague story yesterday that it could still be an option as the Saudi window doesn't close until 12th Oct. But it was not a rumour and no club has enquired as far as I know.

04 Sep 2026 14:59:51
Not exactly the Top 3 leagues he was aiming for? But the money out there could sway a young mind.

04 Sep 2026 16:18:50
Think these stories will continue until every transfer window closes. Here he has been chosen by league champions of their Lower Toganese Premier League. 😉

05 Sep 2026 02:55:38
Rubbish stag weekend?

04 Sep 2026 08:08:37
Scout department have been looking at South Korea midfielder Kang Sang-yoon talented midfielder could be one for January.

04 Sep 2026 09:33:42
Watched Hearts last night. Wee McPake had good game, another one who drops down leagues to come back up.

04 Sep 2026 09:47:38
Got buyback clause?

04 Sep 2026 09:52:53
I think McPake will play for Scotland this season and rightly so. Great wee player. Plays football the way I like to watch it.

04 Sep 2026 10:38:32
Wilkins, no, he refused to sign a deal, left ooc
Went to Stirling St John Hearts.

04 Sep 2026 10:42:30
Always been a big fan of McPake.

Delighted to see him settling in the SPL, and wouldn't be surprised if he kicks on another level or 2.

04 Sep 2026 10:46:03
Ehl, what u think, Wilson at Hearts now, McInnes not involved.

04 Sep 2026 10:54:32
Ehl, I wouldn't be surprised to see him in the Premier League in 2 or 3 years, mate.

Similar pathway to Snodgrass.

04 Sep 2026 11:04:00
John helps that their main striker left. He was never going to get a chance with Shankland in front of him.

04 Sep 2026 11:41:49
Good to see some of our ex players doing well now. Think the step away to build careers has helped. Similar with Lowry now at Motherwell looking good. Going south may be a reality check.

04 Sep 2026 11:49:47
Now McPake is at Hearts, we would never get him unless OOC. Hearts would want like 6 million, they always overprice players.

04 Sep 2026 12:24:54
John, not sure it's got anything to do with McInnes not being there.

He wasn't physically ready last year, and really benefited from the loan down south.

He has come back much bigger and stronger.

Suspect he'll be in and out of the team a lot this season, but the team at Hearts know how to manage their young players.

04 Sep 2026 12:44:14
Cheers for reply, Ehl. I think Wilson is a top top player.

04 Sep 2026 13:01:41
Good to see McPake doing well. He seemed to be destined to drift out the game until St Johnstone gave him what looked like a final chance, and he woke up and grabbed it. He's been away from Rangers for around 5 years now, so it's taken him a while to get a grip of himself. Likewise, Lowry, a boy I really rated as a talent who failed to take his opportunities.

I don't know whether finding himself in the lower leagues in England was a reality check for his ego, but something's changed. I have to say though, I hope he has a stinker on Saturday. I don't blame the club for either not making it here; they both were on the verge of doing so, and by all accounts wasted it themselves.

04 Sep 2026 13:04:51
I agree, John. Have said a number of times how much I'd love us to sign him - I even had the audacity to claim it'd be as good as a marquee signing if we could get it over the line.

Really hope to see Wilson, C.Miller, McPake and Mulligan get call ups from the new Scotland boss, along with both L.Miller and Curtis.



Add to that McCraken.

Needs freshened up with a bit of energy and drive - move on from the staleness of Clarke.

04 Sep 2026 14:04:19
Good post. Sadly, I've lost interest in Scotland football team. Hope new guy changes everything.

I spooked to someday Spurs, and they were amazed at his ability.

04 Sep 2026 14:06:55
EHL, Interesting re Curtis. I know he went to WC etc, so must be rated, but I'm yet to be convinced by him in a Gers stripe.
What are your thoughts on his ability?

04 Sep 2026 14:46:40
Broste, Curtis, at 20, should probably be a little further ahead in his development than he is - but technically he's very good.

He needs to find his position and start to own it. Think having depth of squad this year will help him develop, as he'll learn a lot from the variety of attacking options we now have.

04 Sep 2026 14:55:15
James Wilson is a player. Can see him at Ibrox one day.

04 Sep 2026 15:22:28
Fun fact, Ehl, I played boys club footy with McCracken.

03 Sep 2026 22:54:14
Any news on a CB atall?

I feel we might bring in an experienced free agent aftet window closed today.

Always move Nsiala Souttar onto countroothat aren't closed yet

Anyone any credible knowledge on CB situation.

04 Sep 2026 08:47:58
Diogo Leite and Mitchell Bakker, I would sign both as we don't know how Rommens injury is and we've only got 1 natural left back, also we don't have left sided centre back two free transfers.

Bakker, obvs coming back from injury, but I would take the chance on him as he could make us some money in the future if we can get him fit and playing well. Both got bags of experience.

04 Sep 2026 09:51:13
I think we have what the club are happy with and we won't be buying any free agents. The same conversation happens every year as fans are never happy with transfers even though we signed 14. Also fans not happy with Fernandes, so think we need one to replace him when we don't.



Following the Rommens logic we would need 3 players for every position. Sterling covered LB this season already, so we are covered.

04 Sep 2026 09:56:28
I don't know a lot about those 2 players, Wallace. I know of Leite, but I would be a liar if I said anything more than that.

I'd like Smalling, but happy as long as we bring another in.

04 Sep 2026 10:11:24
Why would fans be happy with Fernandez at this current time, he is out of form for whatever reason happens to all players at some stage.
But at present he should be removed from team before it gets worse. He has to accept responsibility for errors as first thing he does is look around to blame someone else.

04 Sep 2026 11:13:38
That's the worst of it for me mate, players make mistakes, but when a player makes the same mistakes frequently and looks for someone else to blame, is my pet hate. 👍

04 Sep 2026 11:15:52
Jasp, did he not hold his hand up & apologise for the terrible pass at Falkirk? He did. Other than the pass, he didn't do anything else wrong that game, & the pass wasn't completely his fault as no one gave him an option to pass to.



I don't think our defence is the problem, it's more the fact that the 2 CDMs don't seem to help defensively, always too far away or want to receive the ball off them or help going forward. Midfield seems invisible most of the time.

04 Sep 2026 11:45:06
Some go on about this Celtic squad, I'm telling you right now, if we had their CBs this site would have a meltdown, I'm very happy with our CBs.

04 Sep 2026 11:53:26
Even if Manny comes good, we still only have 3 CBs available, with Souttar and Nsiala unwanted. Please don't seriously include Sterling and McCrorie as options for there. Got dumped out Europa having to resort to that.

04 Sep 2026 12:06:21
Vickers, Trusty, Scales, Murray, meltdown, I'm telling you. 😁

04 Sep 2026 13:02:55
But last year people were shouting for Sterling when they weren't happy with Tav and Souttar. Does the agenda matter as to whether a player is good or not? As people say, we are only in the SPL and not Europe, so 3 starters should be enough, and if one gets injured then the other 2 can play there.

Club seem to think it is enough. 🤷

04 Sep 2026 13:04:56
It will be interesting to see what happens with Souttar if he doesn't leave, which seems very likely. Is there any way back into the squad for him, or has he done something so bad that we just want him gone. I saw talk of freeing him, which I find incredible, although I'm not itk about anything, unlike some others.

04 Sep 2026 14:06:39
Absolutely not looking for any chs till January at least.

04 Sep 2026 14:30:36
Where does this idea of an agenda come from? Of what possible personal benefit does it do if we rate some players but not others? Cb is an important specialist position that should have specialist cover, not just someone who fills in just to do a job, that's all.

Neither Sterling nor McCrorie has done particularly well when asked to play that role either, and even Tav was used there ahead of Sterling last year.

04 Sep 2026 19:18:06
They still won the league with these centre backs.

03 Sep 2026 17:19:27
Kelsey confirmed

Bouanani signed to and to be revealed later.

I wonder if the club have managed to to pull off a masterstoke and get the midfielder over the line too.

03 Sep 2026 18:25:24
Hopefully Gazza. 🇬🇧

03 Sep 2026 18:58:00
Swapping out Souttar for any centre half wouldn't go a miss either.

03 Sep 2026 19:03:54
Gazza, my info rejected Scotland re a move.

03 Sep 2026 19:59:05
Seems to be good info Gazza, well spotted.

03 Sep 2026 19:40:15
Winger confirmed, No mention of an option to buy on the clubs website?

03 Sep 2026 20:33:38
Look like a straight loan, unfortunately.

03 Sep 2026 20:48:50
Diogo Leite is still a free agent, 6'3" LCB. Leeds, West Ham and Torino are sniffing about him. He'd be a real coup.

03 Sep 2026 21:39:38
He would be Mck, but Leeds and others are all after him, and he's on a free. Would be 60/70k sadly.

03 Sep 2026 21:48:40
Forget that question, John, just seen on other page you mentioned Chelsea but couldn't get a name. 👍

03 Sep 2026 21:43:11
Just out of interest John can you give us a name now that it isn't happening due to not wanting to play in Scotland, did I see earlier you said it was an EPL player? cheers

03 Sep 2026 23:06:42
Awe well John, it wasn't meant to be.

04 Sep 2026 06:42:58
Me2, Sky Sports reporting we have an option to buy with the loan deal.

03 Sep 2026 17:00:50
Club now confirm signing of Kelsey @5pm. Everybody breath ah that's better

03 Sep 2026 18:05:35
Where's Bouanani but. 😂

03 Sep 2026 18:05:42
I want the winger confirmed as well. 🤞🇬🇧

03 Sep 2026 18:16:46
Winger was confirmed 1st on BBC website.

03 Sep 2026 18:25:14
Great Kaiser. 🇬🇧

03 Sep 2026 15:06:08
Bahraktarevic touch n go, short on time apparently.

03 Sep 2026 15:39:16
Assumed it was a one or the other type situation.

03 Sep 2026 15:50:44
Read a PSV reporter saying it's not happening, as no time to complete deal.

03 Sep 2026 16:07:00
I couldn't imagine us signing both right wingers Bouanani and Brakejevtic anyway. 🤔 It would be one or the other, I would think. 🤔

03 Sep 2026 16:35:14
Good to see you back on SWS.

Did you see Aasgaard is away, not to Bodo Glimt, but away nonetheless.

03 Sep 2026 16:42:15
Not happening, we ran out of time.

03 Sep 2026 17:22:30
Doom and gloom the recruitment department.

03 Sep 2026 17:40:33
I'm crossing everything that we've brought in a CB?!?!?! 🙏🙏🙏

03 Sep 2026 20:51:27
Diogo Leite is still available, a free agent, valued at 12 million. 6'3" LCB. Leeds, West Ham and Torino are sniffing about him. He'd be a real coup.

03 Sep 2026 14:48:00
Outgoings -
As I've said further down we are looking for a solution for Souttar, that doesn't necessarily have to be concluded today with a couple of other windows remaining open.
I know some might think it's crazy but I've heard a option if nothing else is agreed upon is to release John.

McCausland - lovely fella but its acknowledged that he isn't up to the level overall required. There is interest but again if nothing finalised in the coming days then he may also be released.

Nsiala- again some interest but heard nothing more.

Kelsy posts going up soon.

03 Sep 2026 15:05:11
McCausland doesn't deserve that. Boy bleeds blue and is a good back up. Nice payoff for Soapy. Whoever gave him a new deal needs sacked. They've cost the club a fortune.

03 Sep 2026 15:17:32
Why are we so desperate to get rid of Souttar that we would release?

03 Sep 2026 15:17:46
McCausland is a decent player and better than almost any player in that position in our league. Shame he doesn't get the game time.

03 Sep 2026 15:18:34
That seems wrong to me. What's going on here?

03 Sep 2026 15:30:15
Wullie you hearing anything about a midfielder?

03 Sep 2026 15:35:39
How do you know McCausland is lovely? I think he looks sound, but just wondering if he's ever given you reason to believe he's actually lovely.

03 Sep 2026 15:51:30
Good information, Wullie.

03 Sep 2026 15:52:46
McCausland isn't going to get game time. We have the 5 wingers that was the number wanted, no Europe, so he might bleed blue, but he's not going to play, so if a move can't be agreed upon, getting released is one of the options.
As for Souttar, that is just what I've been told, that terminating is an option.


These would both be last resorts. I believe McCausland might be on the move, but far from guaranteed.

Goram, no, just Bouanini.

Glasgow, because I have spoken to him on more than one occasion, really nice guy, has a lot of time for fans and not heard anything bad about him from others. Strange tone to your post.

03 Sep 2026 16:10:00
Wullie, you're not allowed to know Rangers players personally. 😂

03 Sep 2026 16:15:51
Grg, what are you on about? What a strange comment.

03 Sep 2026 16:38:22
God forbid a Rangers supporter would actually talk to one of our players.

03 Sep 2026 16:48:03
Agree, Stig, not sure why Souttar not considered as although not long term answer probably better than Fernandez in current form.

03 Sep 2026 16:00:52
What's the advantage of releasing Wullie?

03 Sep 2026 17:07:45
Rumour with Souttar is that he was the central figure in the physio scandal in February. Doesn't explain why he got a new deal two weeks after that, though.

03 Sep 2026 17:25:38
Not really football related, but I came across the squad walking through Glasgow airport last year. Asked McCausland if I could get a picture for my boy and he refused. Other more seasoned pros like Butland were happy to grab a quick snap (wish was great for my lad, him being a GK). It's put me off McCausland ever since. 🤣

03 Sep 2026 18:10:19
Wouldn't take that to heart, YoJimbo. The boy McCausland used to get pelters off Tims for being 'ugly' etc online, maybe he just doesn't like photos. Sad really.

03 Sep 2026 19:29:41
Aye, Big D, they called him the Sloth off Ice Age the film.

03 Sep 2026 20:16:34
What's the physio scandal?

03 Sep 2026 22:11:59
OrangeT, can find it if you google "Rangers physio scandal", but basically the club was booking hotel rooms for players for physio appointments, and apparently some players were using them to take women to.
