Rangers rumours 4

27 Jul 2026 17:19:28
Paul nsio signs new deal and is off to St Mirren on loan

27 Jul 2026 18:13:42
This boy has great potential, a very good loan move imo.

27 Jul 2026 18:13:43
Happy at that.
Ehl, is it right decision or would you rather see him around the first team?

27 Jul 2026 18:13:51
Gd, hope it helps the boy kick on. 👍

27 Jul 2026 18:15:23
Really good move for the lad. All the very best to the lad.

27 Jul 2026 18:19:20
Good move for the lad, hopefully, he gets his chances to play and not a bench warmer!

27 Jul 2026 18:20:05
John, what's his best position and what's his main attributes? I've never watched him play.

27 Jul 2026 18:24:53
John, I've seen some highlights of him last season and he looks a very promising young mf indeed. Very good on the ball, very good passer and linking up with forwards.
At Mirren is a fantastic move too. We couldn't have picked a better loan for him.

27 Jul 2026 18:33:11
Wishy, he's a centre mid mate, great touch and technique, a forward passer, a lot of 1-2s with forward players at twig last season.

If I was to liken him to someone, I'd say not in the same class, but a Barry Ferguson type when he broke through.

That's my likeness. Maybe John, EHL or others who have seen him can give their likeness too.

27 Jul 2026 18:34:12
Good loan for the young lad. Hope he smashes it!

27 Jul 2026 18:36:29
It's the way we should be doing our business. Buying best young players to add to the QS we have developed from a young age.
Then, allowing a handful to train in 1st team, then loan out to other Premiership or Championship sides to help them progress playing against men.
Removal of reserve league leaves this big hole that the loans should help compensate.

27 Jul 2026 18:53:17
He has great feet, can pass, score, needs more physicality.
He is a very good midfielder, Rangers r playing him as an rb for a while in bounce games and friendly games.

27 Jul 2026 19:00:16
John, I didn't know that, mate. What did u think of him at rb?

27 Jul 2026 19:00:55
Very good move, spoke to him about it and he's buzzing.

If he can stay focused he's more than good enough to make a dent in the SPL.

27 Jul 2026 19:05:35
To toughen him up, John, playing at RB?

27 Jul 2026 19:08:22
Ehl, who would u compare him to in style alone, in modern or past football terms, mate? I know you're not comparing ability.

27 Jul 2026 19:18:56
Love it, guys, at his age he needs to be playing first team men's football. He probably should have had more, but it's a good move.

27 Jul 2026 19:34:08
I'm not sure off Nsio at rb. Will be very interested where he plays at St Mirren. I see him as attacking mid.

27 Jul 2026 19:56:25
He looks technically very good. This will be a great loan if he gets game time.

27 Jul 2026 20:54:28
Cheers, John.

I'd say right of a 3 would suit him at top level but even in a 2 with a more defence minded partner.

27 Jul 2026 15:50:03
Aasgaard did not train today and is to have a scan

27 Jul 2026 16:02:47
Hopefully he will be OK, John, thanks for info. 🇬🇧

27 Jul 2026 16:05:08
A seen that John hopefully be ok for Friday. Also the training video today is on YouTube if any one what's a look.

27 Jul 2026 16:06:24
What about Devlin, he also had a knock and didn't train?

27 Jul 2026 16:07:50
That's bad news, he's being looking like the player we hoped he would be last couple of games.

27 Jul 2026 16:08:17
Think DM is quoted as saying himself and Devlin have injuries, hopefully nothing too serious.

27 Jul 2026 16:23:02
Disappointing to hear. Especially after McInnes saying both he and Devlin would be OK for Friday.

Does anybody tell the truth these days!

27 Jul 2026 16:27:56
You play like Devlin, you're going to pick up knocks. He has no off switch, which is good, but hopefully he stays fit and available.

27 Jul 2026 16:57:00
Gazza, are you saying the manager lied? Maybe that's what he was told at the time of saying it. 🤦‍♂️

27 Jul 2026 17:08:59
Gaza, you are correct. McInnes did say both will be fit for Friday. Only time will tell, I guess.

27 Jul 2026 17:15:26
Storm, he should know the future now too.

27 Jul 2026 17:22:08
DM said Aasgaard shoulder and Devlin calf, but both should be fine for Friday.

And, I quote from BBC interview,

"Thelo landed on his shoulder a bit awkwardly, but we think he'll be okay for Friday and Cammy took a kick in his calf and again will be fine for the weekend."

That's what he said yesterday, but it may well have changed.

27 Jul 2026 17:44:18
Gaffer told me to take a day off, had a few Js and watched the game back.

That Lamadrid haufed us, kneed me right in the shoulder - not even a card from Robertson.

27 Jul 2026 17:58:28
It wouldn't be the first time, Strom.

It was right after the game, without the opportunity to properly assess.

27 Jul 2026 18:04:47
So he gave his opinion at the time, Gazza? Maybe it was worse than first thought? Would you rather he just said don't know or not answer at all?

27 Jul 2026 18:17:42
Nothing wrong with a manager giving a post match view. As we all know, an injury might be worse the next day, and it's difficult to determine the extent of any injury without a scan.

27 Jul 2026 18:19:58
Them missing training today might solely be precautionary. If the aim is to have them fit for Friday.

27 Jul 2026 18:22:02
He just didn't lie though, did he? He said he thinks he'll be fine, which would have been what he was told.

27 Jul 2026 18:39:20
It's not Friday either, so who is to say both won't be available? Silly nitpicking, it's refreshing the manager gave an update on what he expected to happen.
Scan could be precautionary, as he was missing training, which most teams do the day after a game or have a light session. Wouldn't read too much into it.

27 Jul 2026 18:43:31
The player's face when the physio touched him said a lot more to me than what DM said.

27 Jul 2026 18:56:09
Yes, I'd prefer the truth, if it's a don't know, he's taken a sore one and we'll have to assess him in the coming days.

That's just me though.

Maybe it's my past experiences and having been lied to and gaslit all my life. Honesty is very important to me.

It's hard to trust without it, if at all.

27 Jul 2026 19:10:51
Looked sore, but he was rotating it when he came off, hopefully just one of those ones that's sore and stiff for a couple of days but ok for Friday, looks to be our best outlet to play strikers in so here's hoping.

27 Jul 2026 20:00:23
Correct, Slim Jim, seen he was in pain.

27 Jul 2026 20:31:31
Agreed, Slim Jim, I thot the worst.

27 Jul 2026 14:30:16
Mr and Mrs CERNY did not like Glasgow Scotland. This is a fact told by Mrs

27 Jul 2026 16:06:30
No, she didny lier lier pants on fire. 🔥 lol. 😆 😂

27 Jul 2026 16:09:49
I can't blame them, it's fbogging and it's protest after protest in the City Centre that's leading to trouble on the streets.

27 Jul 2026 17:14:53
The 'protests' are embarrassing, man. I hate seeing our colours on absolute helmets.

27 Jul 2026 17:57:50
When people ask me the difference between Glasgow and Edinburgh, I always say Glasgow, you go out with your mates, Edinburgh, you go out with your wife. 😂

27 Jul 2026 18:31:36
I'd much rather go out with my wife 😂 I was born in the wrong City!

27 Jul 2026 19:18:16
Crazy wearing colours at these things, at least in Ireland it's the only thing bringing both sides together, but would be impossible in the West of Scotland for some reason.

27 Jul 2026 13:54:25
Hearing today from a mate of mine who saya he links at Tottenham (reckon he's a supporter rather than ITK, but saying what he said) and basically Mikey Moore wants to come back to us if he isn't going to get the chance to show what he do at Spurs. Mate has mentioned a permanent transfer with a guaranteed buy back if within three years.

27 Jul 2026 14:48:36
Moore is valued around 20 million. Now, if we're not paying 8 million for a 20 year old wonder kid, then we're certainly not paying 20 million for one even younger.

27 Jul 2026 14:49:19
I just hope that we aren't holding onto funds in the hope this is attainable and then being disappointed or missing out on other targets.

Moore is good, but numbers are ultimately what's required.

27 Jul 2026 14:53:52
We don't have the funds for Mikey Moore.

27 Jul 2026 14:59:37
Would people stop with the funds and Dahl as if it's anything to do with money. McInnes sees Assgaard as his main playmaker. He rates him very highly. We don't need Dahl. McInnes has put a stop to the Dahl transfer. We won't sign Dahl unless Assgaard is sold.

27 Jul 2026 15:05:33
So what if Aasgaard gets injured, Twisted? Dahl has far more to his game than Aasgaard. I'm also worried about Aasgaard when the going gets tough on cold nights away from home. We need more creativity in midfield than just him.

27 Jul 2026 15:18:36
Dahl won't be signed for £8m to be a bench player, and both won't play at the same time. Shankland, Naderi, Curtis, Bajrami can all play as a 10 if need be. If anything, a loan signing will be made to cover a position if Bajrami leaves.

27 Jul 2026 15:23:49
Dahl is very much wanted, Twisted, what aren't you getting about that?

27 Jul 2026 15:33:26
If we don't sign Dahl, which I don't think McInnes is convinced by him.
Is he likely to end up at Cardiff, as there don't seem to be a lot of others interested in the wo decking, who could not get in Norwegian squad in front of Aasgaard.
If I was a Cardiff supporter, I would not want him.

If true, he has already indicated he wants to go to Rangers in front of them.
We would be better using money elsewhere. Got disaster written all over it, like Olsen, how many times were we told how great he was.

27 Jul 2026 15:39:15
£20m on the drip over 4 years, those that need shifted out or could be would meet it and that does not necessarily include Raskin.

27 Jul 2026 15:39:28
You can't have only one player in the squad with attributes like Aasgaard.

27 Jul 2026 15:42:02
Dahl is head and shoulders above Aasgaard. 😂
Comparing the 2 is hilarious.

Dahl is out of his league, man.

27 Jul 2026 15:44:26
We're not signing Dahl, I'm not sure of the reasons, I'd suggest down to cash, but he won't be a Rangers player. Well, not sign Moore either, perhaps a loan, but I'll be surprised if we even spend £20m on the rest of the squad this window.

27 Jul 2026 15:45:45
McInnes saying "one in on loan hopefully permanent" has Moore's name all over it.

27 Jul 2026 15:51:03
Hahahahah, some people are hilarious on this. Dahl is out of Assgaard's league is a crazy statement. Which one of them went to the World Cup?

We didn't know who Dahl was before the rumours last year, and let's not pretend anyone watches his league week on week.

I could make a YouTube reel easily to make Assgaard look a world beater.

Dahl has potential, but my word, he's not some world class baller.

27 Jul 2026 16:00:22
Some folk come out with the funniest of statements.

Always a good giggle on here.

27 Jul 2026 16:01:59
Jasper, I was thinking Moore or Cerny tbh, more Moore though.

27 Jul 2026 16:03:58
Even if we could spend 20 million on Moore, I don't think I would. He's been a decent loan, but feel a bit overrated last season, as Dado said. Think we will be lucky to spend £20m on rest of window, never mind on 1 player.

27 Jul 2026 16:07:47
Stevie, out of curiosity how many times have you watched Dahl play to claim he is out of Aasgaard's league? What part about comparing the two of them is hilarious?

27 Jul 2026 16:00:34
Could be wrong but did we not make an offer for him, if we did? Was it just for fun?

27 Jul 2026 16:11:39
Twisted - always look at your posts, mate, you always have good info and the finger on the button.

Any ideas yourself who you think will be coming in this week?

What's your thoughts on Aasgaard staying then?

27 Jul 2026 16:13:29
100% agree Dun, not one person has seen him play apart from online clips. As you say, not even the Norwegian squad. I'm not putting him down, he's a young lad still, by all accounts he seems to have a bright future ahead of him. But I'll remain judging him till I see him play. If he actually comes.

27 Jul 2026 16:18:10
Jasp, Every signing is a risk & could be a disaster, should we just not bother signing anyone then? Feyernood & RB Salzburg have interest in him now, Bestikas before & they'll be others we don't know about looking at him & watching his development. Should we not sign players cause others got picked ahead of them for the international team? Guess McCrorie shouldn't have been signed then.



We need more than 1 forward thinking midfielder, or we'll end with Aasagaard getting injured or drop in. It's also possible he'll be sold too if the offer is right.

27 Jul 2026 16:25:37
Twisted and you know McInnes has pulled the Dahl thing how?

27 Jul 2026 16:45:20
If Moore wants to play at Spurs, he will go to another league. If he scores 10 and assists 15, he probably still won't get a shot at Spurs next year.

27 Jul 2026 16:45:48
McInnes hasn't pulled anything on Dahl.

Love to know how some on here also think McInnes doesn't rate or want Dahl. Where are you getting that BS from?

27 Jul 2026 16:51:28
Just watch Dahl's highlights online, the guys going to the very top. I think it would be very stupid on our part to overlook him. We need forward thinking midfielders, he's one. He's stated he wants to come. It's funny, most of these accounts down playing him, apart from Twisted, are relatively new.

My info is we have agreed personal terms and he's waiting for us, but there's other deals to fall in place. Also Aasgaard is away for a scan, and why couldn't we play with 2 forward thinking 8s at 6, 4 in Dahl and Aasgaard with a deep lying 6 behind them?

27 Jul 2026 16:56:13
Listen, see all yous now arguing with me over Dahl n Aasgaard. It's the same ones who slaughtered Aasgaard last season, the same Wans who argued with me when I said Devlin is a far better player than yous realise on here and yous would all change your tune, yous now have. It's no doubt the same ones who slagged Chermiti and laughed at me after his first game when I said how good a player he was and that he looks like he'll be a great signing.

It's the same all the time. I've not got one wrong yet since joining this site when it comes to judging players, not one.



I'm telling yous now Dahl is head and shoulders above Aasgaard. Wait n see, there's no point debating it, wait and see.

It's the same all the time with people who don't know about playing football, they don't have the same eye to judge a player so people like Devlin or Barron get slagged and people like Aasgaard with a few nice touches here n there get applauded.

Yous can laugh at my statements all yous want but they've all been correct to this date.

27 Jul 2026 16:59:48
This place is mental 🫢 and I love it.

27 Jul 2026 17:10:17
Sam, imo the guy will play for a Bayern. Spain's big 3, or City, Arsenal, United.

He is that good.

The ones saying, oh, he doesn't play for Norway. Igamane didn't play for Morrocco when we signed him, and Chermiti didn't play for Portugal.

Absolutely clueless, some ppl.

27 Jul 2026 17:26:19
Stevie, if you've ever played at a decent level and understand the game to a decent degree, everything about the boy screams world glass in the making, and it's the slightest little things, such as body language when receiving the ball, the way he moves the ball, and his ability to stroll past players at 6, 4 is 2nd to none.

27 Jul 2026 17:30:23
I'm sure u said Rothwell was amazing, Stevie. 🎣🎣🎣🎣😉😇🤣🤣

27 Jul 2026 17:30:41
Aye let's all watch YouTube clips to see how much better Dahl is than Aasgaard. 🤦‍♂️

That's just f****** insane. Aye let's just get rid of one of our best players for an unknown 20 year old, who, like Aasgaard, would take time to settle? Because of YouTube clips.

🤣

He's probably not coming anyway. Get over him. It's getting tedious to even read. Aye, we will see. I'm backing our player in this strange debate.

27 Jul 2026 17:38:06
Gdog, you can talk on and on if you like. We have cooled our interest in Dahl, and that's a fact, he isn't wanted as of now.

He isn't better than Assgaard either, whoever said that.

Player I've heard is Casper Widdel Stig.

27 Jul 2026 17:57:05
People forgetting Aasgaard never showed his full potential last season. He's looked good in a preseason friendly, and had a good game at the World Cup, now he's a world beater? Yes, he has talent, and hopefully he can continue his form into the new season and push on, because we are going to need that from him.
Rangers should always have competition in the squad, and if we overlook Dahl, a lad who has all the attributes to be a very top player, then we really need to have a good look at ourselves.

I really think the club should be pushing to get this lad in, he's the type of player we need, and it makes good business sense.
Anyway, opinions are like bum holes, everyone has got yin.

27 Jul 2026 18:01:35
Yeah, I'm sure McInnes has said no, I don't want Dahl, thanks, I'm happy with Aasgaard. 🙄 We should be signing him for a pure profit point of view! He'll easily double or treble his value.

27 Jul 2026 18:16:45
Fork. 🙈 🤷🏻‍♂️ 😂

27 Jul 2026 18:21:37
Who is Dahl?

27 Jul 2026 18:41:31
See, if we do miss out on him, it'll be the same guys in here in a few years' time moaning we didn't sign Xaxi Simon's lol. Remember that "he was too young," never played first team football, etc. Ended well for us, that. The mob across the road are about to make 3 very good signings that are in a similar mold of Dahl.

27 Jul 2026 17:38:19
When you saw how good Chermiti was before anyone else, what was it you saw? It wouldn't be a few nice touches by any chance, similar to what those who no nothing about football were applauding Aasgaard for as you say?

27 Jul 2026 17:39:37
So where apart from online rumours have you heard we're 100% in for Dahl how do u know McInnes wants him? Works both ways, you question how I know he doesn't so how do you know he does?

27 Jul 2026 18:46:06
There was talk of Aasgaard being sold to Serie A for around £8m, which stalled for whatever reason. Dahl was probably the replacement lined up, we can't afford to have both unless we sell Raskin and either Chermetti or Fernandez.
As for MM, I did state a Cpl of months ago that I didn't expect the fee to be £20m but closer to £12m with add ons and a sell back clause. He may be the 1 Del said we may get on loan, but are looking for a permanent deal.

As for his numbers people complained about, it's not just assists and goals that matter. It's also big chances created and successful dribbles, where he topped both last season. Not his fault if people don't finish the big chances created to turn them into assists. He's still creating them, is young and took time to settle and was 1 of our best players for last 6 months of the season.

27 Jul 2026 18:16:16
Mr Rangers you've probably not even seen the boy kick a ball.
If it's tedious to read then scroll past and don't engage. Nobody asked u to engage mate.
U call Aasgaard our best player? If he's one of our best players then I'm seriously worried for this season.
He was worse than hopeless last season. Few important goals but his on ball contribution was almost zero.


If anyone who has watched Dahl and watched Aasgaard thinks Aasgaard is even in the same league as Dahl then they don't have a clue about football.
Not 1 scooby.

Listen am not going to debate it a minute longer. JHD is playing a different game from Aasgaard. Yous know nothing about football to suggest otherwise.

27 Jul 2026 18:16:49
Stevie for you to go on about people been clueless is pot and kettle.the other day you went on a rant about us looking at a Israeli defender you were called out and rightly so.you said the had been in IDL and was there for 2 years 8 month. You used the war criminal cry about Israeli soldiers. Then it was pointed out you were so wrong he's never been in the army infact he stays and playes in Bulgaria and he's only 20 years old so couldn't possibly have played professionally football for 3 years and still be in the army.

A 2 second Google search shows you all you need 2 know. So calling people names just because they don't agree with you is not Great

27 Jul 2026 19:04:19
Sam of Orange, most people would like to sign including myself, if there has been comments against signing him they are by far in the minority.

I just can't get on board with someone who has never seen him play tell people they know nothing about football because they aren't getting carried away and say that every statement they have made to date has never been wrong 😂 We bow to your superior knowledge StevieG.

27 Jul 2026 19:12:08
12th no I didn't I said all Israeli men meed to serve in the armed forces for that time.
Sports people get a discount, berkovic served. To be an Israelis citizen military service is a must
Woman are 18 months.

This is fact mate not my opinion.

Again sports people get a discount but still must serve.

Son even had to serve for South Korea.

If the defender hadnt already served then we best not sign him as he will at some stage be called up to serve as he is an Israeli citizen according to the op.

I know nothing of him I wouldn't waste my time looking him up

I won't get involved in that debate my longer our of respect for the Ed's and for some of the lads who I annoyed with my views like fork to name 1.

I'll keep it to myself in future.

27 Jul 2026 19:59:06
Never annoyed me, bud, just offering a different perspective on your view, mate, nothing annoying apart from the Borrheid thing. 😳😉🤣🤣👍

27 Jul 2026 21:02:09
Tav, I had never seen him play tik his first game, mate.

I commented after that game about his great touch, technique, running the channels, link up play, and cross pitch pass he made from right to left.

I said he looked a cracking player, again imo, without sounding patronising to anyone.

It's wee things like that which show u a good striker, not just scoring a goal. Feel free to check my archives for that msg. It's literally what I said, give or take a word here n there.

27 Jul 2026 21:07:19
Also, Tav, it wasn't "only me" who seen his quality. I remember my star saying the same as me after that 1st game. I thought was only us 2, but there was 2-3 others who said it as come a few weeks later I said I thought was just the 2 of us, but my star corrected me along with the 2-3 others at the time.

Which of course is fine and I believe.

I'm not being the patronising type, mate, I'm as common as muck lol I'm just telling the truth.

27 Jul 2026 20:09:27
You said he had served that's why not 2sign not the fact he was Israeli.and you were wrong hence clueless 🙈 😕

27 Jul 2026 21:36:37
I didn't say he has served. I said between 18 and 23 or something they need to serve. I have no clue if he has or hasn't. u said he hasn't, so I believe u. But don't put words into my mouth, bro.

I'm as controversial as I am without adding to it.

😂

Let's agree to disagree and draw a line, bud, ok. Our opinions don't make a difference anyway.


Fork I'm begging h to think you're a Neilston man with all these dogs aboit Barrhead mate haha. 👍🏻

27 Jul 2026 21:37:31
Tav, thanks mate at least someone is getting the idea eventually pal. 😜👍🏻

27 Jul 2026 22:32:37
Not even close. 😉👍🤣

27 Jul 2026 22:38:12
I would love to see Mikey back this season 👍

28 Jul 2026 01:54:30
Kidding, bro, u seem a West End type of guy lol, or Bearsden maybe lol.

28 Jul 2026 05:36:46
Lol a bit of a snob then. 😉🤣🤣

27 Jul 2026 08:58:08
A wee bit on Cerny btw,

The timeline for Cerny's departure is directly tied to a massive incoming deal. Besiktas is in the final stages of signing free agent Mohamed Salah following his departure from Liverpool. His agent is reportedly finalizing terms in Turkey. The moment Salah's contract is sealed, Besiktas is expected to immediately green light Cerny's exit to stay within squad regulations.

Seeing 10-12 and 8-10 million euros(£8.5) but may revise to £6.9 million.

Rangers' hierarchy is heavily tipped to match the valuation using funds structured around performance add-ons to bypass upfront wage hurdles.

Just what I'm seeing guys.👍

27 Jul 2026 09:22:04
I'd love Cerny back, mate, but not at those prices? Is a loan with obligation an option? Hopefully.

27 Jul 2026 09:26:04
Fork, in my opinion only, I think we will sign him.

27 Jul 2026 09:29:44
This is a similar situation to Dahl, and something I've been trying to highlight over the last few days on various threads.

The core element of transfer fees impacts the Squad Cost Ratio calculation for the duration of the contract - I used our transfers from last season as an example, where we spent between £30-40m, which means that around £8-10m is accounted for and measured against our turnover for effectively 4 seasons.



The flip side of this is that if we sell Raskin for £20m, we'll get around £18m in profit in our calculation this season - which is awesome, but presents a challenge, as that £18m profit isn't spread across the next 4 years.

So, what the club are trying to do in negotiations is reduce the fee and increase the ad ons, as we can take the hit on add ons in one reporting period.

27 Jul 2026 09:33:11
Sunshine, let the owners worry about his price, mate, I said something similar about the Olsen deal, our owners think it's doable, leave them to them.
I would so love Cerny being our player.

27 Jul 2026 09:36:33
Unsure, bud, never came across that, just outright prices, but aye, might be an option, won't know unless we ask. Don't know if it needs to be a sale, due to Besitkas squad dynamics. 👍

27 Jul 2026 09:41:49
Sunshine, I agree loan with option probably suits us the most. If he comes in and still at the level he was, we buy, if not, we are tied.

27 Jul 2026 09:51:40
Great info, Ehl.

27 Jul 2026 10:02:19
So we didn't buy Cerny for 5million ish last season, but we're now going to buy him for 7million ish this season.

27 Jul 2026 10:07:38
I get people saying it's a large outlay on Cerny, but he's tried and tested in the league, and if he helps win a league title it's worth it.
Who knows, we might sign Fallnious and the lad works out brilliantly.
You never know how a player will adapt and adjust to a league.
Cerny, we do know because we've seen it.


He's not being bought as an investment; he's being bought to improve the team and help us win silverware.
Him with Shanks and Chermiti could be brilliant.
Yesterday, defensively we looked a lot better, but going forward we are still struggling to create chances.

27 Jul 2026 10:11:39
Well explained, Ehl, thanks.

27 Jul 2026 10:16:59
Great insight, Ehl.

It's almost opposite to how some of the big clubs down south and in Europe use transfers to balance the books in season. They sell players for, say, £50m, but then buy another for £100m, but can spread the fee over the term of the contract.

It's why we see a lot of players, especially home grown players, moving, Anderson, McTomminay etc.

We have the issue that we cannot guarantee sales every year, so if we spend too much we could end up with issues going forward, even if we bring in double what we spend.

27 Jul 2026 11:04:39
I would pay 6-7 million anything.

27 Jul 2026 11:06:21
We certainly shouldn't be paying those prices if that's what Besiktas are after.

Would love Cerny back, but this is a guy who we won't be getting money back on if he's here a few years. Would definitely low ball the upfront fee and make it performance-based fees.

27 Jul 2026 11:08:32
Reports in Turkey that Trabzonspor are after him. Probably keep his high salary?

27 Jul 2026 11:13:56
Bigbluejim, I agree to a certain point, mate, but we need experienced players signed that we won't make much back on. The type of players winning us trophies should be our main concern when signing this type of experience.

I did get a bit worried with the Olsen situation, but then was pointed out by others, let our owners decide if it was doable; we're not where we once were.

27 Jul 2026 11:21:48
Excellent post, Fork, brought good info.

Excellent insight Ehl.

27 Jul 2026 11:25:28
We don't have to make money on every signing. For me, Cerny is the type of player the team is crying out. Tried and tested and has the numbers to boot.

27 Jul 2026 11:38:25
How many good wingers have we signed since Gerrard 2/3 max? I'd say Kent, Cerny and Sima. In all that time every other winger we signed has flopped. Clearly it's hard to get wingers that are good within our budget. I'd 100% pay a couple extra mil to get Cerny over the line.

27 Jul 2026 11:46:28
Would love to see Czerny back, and/or Sima. Was gutted to see them both have to leave at the end of their loans because we couldn't afford them at the time. Both made our attack much more potent. As others have said, leave the affordability issues to our seemingly rather savvy owners.

27 Jul 2026 11:48:01
Cerny is tried and tested, and into his peak years, we tried Skov Olsen and it didn't work out, so I'd much rather pay the money and get Cerny back in the door as opposed to the unknown.

27 Jul 2026 11:52:40
Why, thank you, Stiggy boy. 😉👍

27 Jul 2026 11:56:45
Would like him back but he's a player we won't be making any cash on in the future. Genuinely wouldn't be paying any more than 4m.

27 Jul 2026 12:12:25
GMS, we also need experienced players signed that we know we wouldn't get his money back, but trophies is more important than getting monies back for these types of players, Olsen would have cost us more, and we all know Cerny can do the damage in a Rangers jersey.

27 Jul 2026 12:25:36
I don't disagree, Star. I want Cerny signing, just not at the prices being quoted, as we know we make nothing back on him.

Besiktas didn't even pay that price for him, and want to ship him out after a season.

So everyone knows they can't demand those figures as they want rid. Like I said, I'd low ball the initial fee and make the add ons performance based.

That, for me, is win win.

27 Jul 2026 12:38:07
I really like Cerny but I think Cozier Duberry would be a better signing for similar money. Cerny isn't blessed with pace or beating people in one on one, whereas Duberry is, and that's exactly what we need. Someone who can beat their man to open up more space in the final third.

27 Jul 2026 12:46:19
We need to get our head around that. If we want quality, it might cost a bit of money and the player may not have a big resale value. So far, we have brought in 3 frees and 1 loan player, so we should be able to buy a couple of quality players like Cerny or Dahl. If we could have got Cerny for £5million last summer, then that's just another mistake made by that management team, especially when you look at the money we did spend on guys like Antman, Gassama and Aasgaard.

We also probably spent a couple of million for Skov Olsen's loan that we wouldn't have needed if we could have got Cerny then.
Clubs are spending millions on average players, and it pushes prices up on everybody.

27 Jul 2026 12:54:27
Bigbluejim, don't think it will be the fee getting mentioned, I'm letting the owners worry about now, was on my mind a good few times but they think it's doable, I'm cool with it now.

27 Jul 2026 13:13:35
Cerny a bit of a no-brainer if possible, can handle the league and puts defenders s*** themselves when he's running at them. Think he could be better with possible two strikers in box, which should give him a better option of hitting bye line and not cutting in all the time, plus gives manager more options in Europe playing off a striker.

27 Jul 2026 13:14:23
You're most welcome, Mr Fork. 😃💙

27 Jul 2026 13:28:36
Blue, he is playing in English League1. How good would Gassama have looked in that league?

27 Jul 2026 13:32:31
Cerny transfer fee isn't really the issue; it's his wages. He's reportedly on around £60k a week. That's double our top budget.
Nobody is getting near those wages.

27 Jul 2026 13:39:00
Cerny is not on 3m a year, Richy.

27 Jul 2026 13:49:31
He's on EUR60, 192, £ 45 grand a week.

27 Jul 2026 14:23:11
I liked Cerny as a player. Been going on about wide players for about a decade now and him and Sima are the only good ones in that time.

But I just don't like this transfer if it happens for a couple of reasons.

Like most, the cost is too high in wages and fee for a player who will most likely be on a downward trajectory over the next couple of seasons. At 27, I would be all over it, but 29, not for me.

Secondly, I really don't like returning players. Think there is enough expectation and pressure on players at Ibrox without having to live up to a previously successful spell.



My last issue would be that it would be a failure of our scouting system for me. Their job is to find the next successful wide player, not go running back over previous players.

I also am not entirely confident that he will emulate his original success as a player with us as we are a totally new team and manager. Think PC got the best out of him. Not sure if that would be replicated.

27 Jul 2026 14:23:22
I'd have Vaclav Cerny back in a heartbeat. 🙏 Blue, are you thinking of the same player as me, mate? 🤔 Cerny is fast, my friend. 👌

27 Jul 2026 14:32:13
Cerny is not fast, he's not slow either, I think he's direct and can shift direction quickly, good feet, but he hasn't got blistering pace.

27 Jul 2026 14:34:16
Blue89 Cerny scored 19 goals and got a bunch of assists.
For someone with no pace and can't beat a man that's pretty good stats.
In comparison to a lad who's never played in Scotland who could be good or fail in the league which unfortunately we've seen all too many times.

27 Jul 2026 14:58:59
Take Cerny back in a beat. Why are we not looking at Sima again? Another player who was great, still very young and affordable? That's two main wingers of a front three with Gassama and Curtis backing up, rotating.

27 Jul 2026 18:25:41
Fork. / EHL for the last time, stop talking sense on here. I am having none of it. 😁
Let's stick to Aasgaard and Dahl like above.

Priceless. 🍿🍿

27 Jul 2026 06:55:38
Hearing we've just received an offer for Barron

Maybe putting two and two together here, but could that offer be from West Ham

Anyone ITK picking this up?

27 Jul 2026 07:07:33
Barron isn't good enough for West Ham. Yip, even though they are in the Championship!

If there is a team out there willing to buy, Barron, then take the money. Running around all day, and putting a shift in, can only take you so far when you are seriously lacking in any sort of talent.

27 Jul 2026 07:12:48
At this point it's not WHU. They have lots of promising young midfielders like Potts and Orford, who are miles better on the ball than Barron. They will undoubtedly be in the market for a more experienced midfielder now Soucek is out for the season, but I'd be astonished if it was Barron. He's not good enough.

27 Jul 2026 07:18:29
I honestly wish some would give wee Connor Barron a break, so I do. 😡 Barron is a better player in what he does than is given credit for. 🤔 We've all witnessed the start Cammy Devlin has made in his Rangers career, and it's been superb, and Barron is a very similar styled player to Devlin.

🤔 Give the guy a break and support our players. 🤔 🇬🇧

27 Jul 2026 07:28:42
It's all about opinions, Walter. You think he's better than many. That's fine. You're here moaning because other people's opinion is not in line with yours. Seriously, if he's picked and pulls on a Rangers shirt, he'll be supported by all, but that doesn't mean we should change our opinion and give him a break.

Fans, for as long as football has existed, have aired their views on players, good or bad.

27 Jul 2026 07:33:13
I think plenty have given him a break, I like wee Barron, but he's limited, and with the arrival of a few central midfielders, he is one I'm okay at parting with.

27 Jul 2026 07:39:32
I'd love to see Baron move abroad, preferably Italy, think he'd be suited to that league.

27 Jul 2026 07:47:53
I'm sure this will never be happening but:

Barron + £10m = Ferguson. 🙏🙏🤌🤌🤣🤣

27 Jul 2026 07:50:39
Walter, it's about opinions. Remember your view of Jon McLaughlin.

27 Jul 2026 08:00:16
Keep shooting mate, you'll score eventually. 👍

27 Jul 2026 08:14:32
If he's any sense, he would move to Italy.

27 Jul 2026 08:21:21
Just because you rate him, Coops, doesn't mean that others can't give an opinion on him. You're not the forum police, matey, and you'll just need to accept that others on here think differently from you. Such is life!

27 Jul 2026 08:21:37
I don't think Sir Walter was frustrated that people's opinions differed from his; he's more frustrated that fans are on his back, and was asking them to give him a break.

I'm on the fence with Barron, and I think he's a little better than folk give him credit for.

He'll never be a superstar, and we've had worse (and will have worse again) wearing a Rangers jersey.

If we got the right price, then it's probably a good move for everybody. Italy would be a smart move for him.

27 Jul 2026 08:23:24
Totally agree with SWS here. Barron was excellent pre-injury, and significantly better than the much lauded Raskin. If we sell him, it must mean we see better from the guys who have come in, like Neil. As supporters, we haven't yet, but we also haven't played a proper game.



If Barron goes, I think we might regret it. If we win the league and the likes of Neil are brilliant, then we won't.

If he was foreign, I'm certain many on here would be saying how he's the next Gatusso.

27 Jul 2026 08:23:56
I really like him, but with the abundance of CMs now, where would u rank him, SWS, in our team, esp with 3 new ones in his position? I don't see him as an EPL player, tbh, probably more top end Championship, so would maybe be good for a season at West Ham, but then they'd be looking for more.

I agree with EHL. Italy would be a better option for him.

27 Jul 2026 08:33:50
Sunshine wasn't personally having a go at you, mate. Dado's correct, as I was merely pointing out some are on Connor Barron's case constantly, even when pre injury the wee man was playing well. 🤔 🇬🇧

27 Jul 2026 08:36:30
Walter, the majority of this squad are not good enough, including Barron, as proven with last season's disaster. We need to get rid of these duds asap. The big question is who's going to take them off our hands.

Devlin has shown more grit and fight, and won more tackles in 90 mins in a Rangers jersey than Barron altogether. I really don't get this obsession with Barron. He's hopeless.

27 Jul 2026 08:37:40
I don't think he's anything like Devlin.

27 Jul 2026 08:38:18
Welcome Cerny.

27 Jul 2026 08:44:44
No worries, Coops, all good mate.

Look, some on here really rate Barron, while others don't. I do not have an issue with those who rate him. But answer me this. Is Barron the calibre of player we need to get us back to the top? Not a chance! Since we were last successful, during the gaffer's second stint, we have won the league only once since then, and during those times, we have had a lot better midfielders than Barron, and still been unsuccessful.

27 Jul 2026 08:46:38
Barron played well when he eventually broke into the side, which was during an injury crisis, was it not? He then had a spell injured, and when he returned to fitness, struggled for much game time. Rohl was wrong as well then? If you take away his very short spell last year, when he played very well, Hibs away stands out in memory. He's been at best imo bang average. I'm not on his back constantly, but as he keeps getting mentioned with WHU, as I've mentioned before, he's not any better than what we have just now.

The 2 youngsters who got game time last year are every bit athletic and at it as Barron and better on the ball imo. In the unlikely event he is signed for WHU, I'll get right behind him, but I'm pretty sure they're looking for better than Barron. Good luck to the boy. I've said before on here I think he's tailor made for the Serie A and I hope he ends up there.

27 Jul 2026 08:49:46
Barron is not good enough. He is a limited footballer, that is all people are saying. To see he was excellent before his injury is not a good thing. It shows how poor we were as a team that people thought running about giving 100% is excellent. 👌

27 Jul 2026 09:01:45
Agree he needs to move on as EHL said, Italy or somewhere where he's suited, think if he stays he's a bit part player.

27 Jul 2026 09:03:22
Barron will be away if the foreign interest firms up.

27 Jul 2026 09:06:22
Give him a break, he is living the dream & I am sure we won't have to worry about a testimonial for the lad. 😉😉

27 Jul 2026 09:06:35
I always base my opinion of a player's ability by asking myself one simple question. Is this player capable of winning us the title? If the answer is no, then they are not good enough. Unfortunately, the answer no applies to the majority of our current squad. Title winning teams are our standard. Anything below that is failure.

27 Jul 2026 09:17:30
At least Barron could take a corner. 😂

Not sure what they have been practicing the last 6 months, but the corners have been shocking.

Barron is better than a lot of people think, however, is he limited, like every player is.

Some people don't think Messi is the Goat. 😂😂 Opinions are like b-holes, everyone's got one, and most stink. 😂😂

27 Jul 2026 09:27:53
I was one who said Barron was similar to Devlin, but having watched Devlin for 2 halves of football, 😂 I can safely say Devlin looks a far, far better player for what we need.

27 Jul 2026 09:32:22
I thought Barron was getting an operation and will be out of action.

So how can he move on this window?

27 Jul 2026 09:43:14
He was on the bench yesterday, Stig, was he not?

27 Jul 2026 09:45:03
He was on the bench yesterday, Stig, so he may not need op.

27 Jul 2026 09:49:06
Stingo, he was on the bench yesterday, mate, couldn't have been as bad as feared.

27 Jul 2026 09:53:48
There are worse things a player can do than running around giving 100%, granted he is limited but played his heart out. Sometimes you need that. Do we need better? Yes, I'd agree we do, but until we do, I wouldn't be so quick to get rid unless, of course, a good offer comes in & there is the Scottish aspect, we're not exactly bursting with Scottish lads.

27 Jul 2026 09:54:29
Ah right.

Never seen the game yesterday.

Just remember reading a post on here saying he was getting an op and would be out of action.
You know, I didn't even check if that officially came from the club.


I took it someone was posting it after the club had made a statement.

Upon checking just now, I can't see anything official from the club around Barron at all.

So, looks like he'd be able to move after all.

My bad!

27 Jul 2026 10:19:50
I like Barron, but if we can get 5 mil upwards then has to go - not sure we will get that much but seems to be the figure banded about. 🇬🇧

27 Jul 2026 10:44:37
Sunshine, if you don't mind me asking your opinion on how highly you rate Cammy Devlin, mate. 🤔 The reason I'm asking is because imo both Devlin and Barron have a lot of similarities in the midfield style they play. 🤔 🇬🇧

27 Jul 2026 10:46:19
I don't dislike Barron in any way, but he most certainly is not the player some are making him out to be. Running around all the time does not mean he is a good footballer or what we need to succeed. He most definitely is not, has not been and never will be better than Raskin! Right now, if a bid comes in for him, he will be allowed to move if the bid matches the price decided by the club.

Exactly the same as every other player.

27 Jul 2026 11:07:09
Barron isn't poor, and I like him, but we have upgrades in Devlin/Neil. Better for him to play in Italy - it will improve him, and we get funds in to help get some creative players in.

He had a good spell before the injury, but it was exactly that. A spell, and a move will be better for him.

27 Jul 2026 11:10:42
Out of our 355 centre mids, Barron is now ranked a 354.

Agree, he isn't good enough to remain here and for his career he should be looking to move on.

27 Jul 2026 11:23:50
I personally like Barron and think there is space for him in the squad.

Always thought Devlin would be a great addition to have.

27 Jul 2026 11:43:41
I would keep Barron also - I like him as a player and his attitude. Was playing well before he got injured last year.

27 Jul 2026 11:58:32
Imagine Barron and Devlin playing together. Think would be immense with a more attacking minded Midfielder in front of them.

27 Jul 2026 12:27:24
Coops, they aren't similar in my opinion. Devlin is head and shoulders above Barron.

27 Jul 2026 12:30:58
Gms, they'd only end up going for the same ball and tackling each other. 😅

27 Jul 2026 13:05:07
I think Devlin is better than Barron, but I like both. Thing I like about Barron is he's always looking to go forward rather than just give it back the way all the time.

27 Jul 2026 13:20:40
Big Blue Jim, of the 355, where does Devlin come in?

A poor player that couldn't make a poor Australian side, or words to that effect, right?

27 Jul 2026 13:42:35
353 ranking

Let's wait and see if he makes any difference in actual games before you come here trying to justify his signing and belittling other people's opinions eh.

If he helps make us champions, and has a helping hand in it, then I'll hold my hands up, but if we finish 2nd or 3rd again, then I will say I was correct in my assessment.

27 Jul 2026 13:56:51
Devlin got a bit more than just tackling to be fair, seems to read the game to get there in tackle in first place and seems to lay off the right pass afterwards, early days tho.

27 Jul 2026 14:26:35
What I noticed and hadn't appreciated until yesterday was how quick Devlin was across the midfield. He covers the first 5-10 yards rapidly, and that's what gets him into the positions to make those interceptions/slide tackles.

27 Jul 2026 14:31:29
Bbj, if we don't win the league you can't pin that on Cammy Devlin, behave yourself. 😂 Hearts lost the league last season, but Devlin was superb for them and was reckoned to have been the best midfielder in Scotland last season. 🤔 For us to win the league, all our players will have to be at the vast majority of the time, mate, and Devlin could have a terrific season for Rangers and we might still not win the league, so that statement doesn't hold up and is miles off the mark.

🤔

27 Jul 2026 14:51:45
Diomande doesn't sound like he's going anywhere, we need to sell a few, cm's.

27 Jul 2026 16:22:06
Coops, again, where did I say I'd pin it on Devlin? Just said I would be right, in my opinion, on him not being good enough.

I get you, like the guy, like so many others who just don't cut the mustard, but I said we needed upgrades on what we had last season (3rd place finish btw), and if we don't win the league, it isn't just Devlin, but the rest too who weren't an upgrade either.

27 Jul 2026 17:03:26
If we don't win the league, but Devlin is excellent, then your opinion is wrong though BbJ.

Winning or losing the league doesn't make your opinion on one player right or wrong.

27 Jul 2026 17:18:09
Of course it matters, it's the only thing that matters! Jesus, how many people are happy at not winning leagues/cups.

At Rangers, you are meant to be a winner, and I don't care how one individual player does.

He could be excellent, but what does that matter if we win nothing! If we don't win the league, how do we determine if he was excellent? How many tackles he puts in? How many yellow cards he gets? Or if he contributes to us being a winning team again?

27 Jul 2026 18:31:00
If we are going to compare, let's compare Barron and Devlin when they were the same age. 5 years of a difference and experience.
Barron has potential.

26 Jul 2026 21:31:48
Just as I posted that, I get a text 😂
Casper widell my mate is suggesting is going to be unveiled?

And Oscar Fallnious as a loan?

26 Jul 2026 21:52:43
Oh, surely not, there won't be goals in him at all.

26 Jul 2026 22:11:09
Hope not to both.

26 Jul 2026 22:15:24
I think, if we bring him in, it's so Curtis can go on loan.

26 Jul 2026 22:15:39
I'm fine with Widdell unless it's a lot of outlay financially. Not sure about the lad on loan though, if he's purely coverage and we still get Cerny in on a permanent as well, I'm all for it. What needs to happen to get Raskin out the door on a decent fee, btw??

26 Jul 2026 22:17:27
I think that's going to be the 2, mate.

26 Jul 2026 22:29:15
That boy's numbers are shocking! 15 seconds of footage on YouTube as well.

26 Jul 2026 22:33:47
Neither are anywhere near good enough.

26 Jul 2026 22:39:39
ngl, this would be underwhelming at first, that's for sure. Will obviously back anybody that comes in.

26 Jul 2026 22:43:04
Bringing in a loan from Djurgardens would seem a very odd move to me.

26 Jul 2026 22:52:25
Only 6 months on his contract left. Can't be a loan, surely. Del said probably a loan, hopefully permanent. Can't see it being him.

26 Jul 2026 23:27:15
Widdel is meant to be terrible.

26 Jul 2026 23:58:43
He's a poor man's Joe Worrall, Stevie G.

27 Jul 2026 00:15:39
I've got a poor man's Konterman in my head, mate.

27 Jul 2026 00:40:27
I said about bringing quality in and these 2 certainly don't match it. Fallenious or whatever his name is has awful stats and I wouldn't even say he's good enough as back up!

Some of the names being banded about really has me disheartened about our direction!

27 Jul 2026 01:54:46
Guys, all rumours remember at this stage. Let's see how the squad looks start of season.

27 Jul 2026 05:34:03
Might as well shut the doors if that's the level we're being in.

We're needing quality in these areas, not these 2.

27 Jul 2026 06:34:46
Shut the doors. 🤣

I've never seen either play, but this thread made me chuckle.

Poor man's Joe Worral and Konterman 🤣 Wow, that boy must be utter pony.

We wanted Cerny, we get Fallnious. Let's hope it works out, but his stats are rotten.
In the last 4 years he's scored 6 goals and has 11 assists.

I love how many posters on this site are avid viewers of the Norwegian league, Eredivisie, and Swedish league. You guys get through a power of football leagues. Unbelievable the knowledge of players you guys have gained from your varied viewing.

Ayrshire, it works both ways. We are allowed to form opinions on players, otherwise we wouldn't be able to discuss anyone unless they played in Scotland/England.
I can look at Dahl and see experts on X, look at stats, look at highlights and form an opinion that he looks like a good signing.

He might turn out to be rubbish but that's what fans do. It works both ways, I can do the same with Fallenius and form an opinion that he looks a bad signing. He could turn out to be good, you never know, but that's on the people who are making the signings. I'm just discussing a rumour as are many others.

See all you who are saying they're not good enough. What are you basing it on? A YouTube clip? Word of mouth? Surely you can't be judging a player you've not watched at least a dozen times over a period of 3/4 months?

27 Jul 2026 11:16:28
Murph, I've stated this before but unless you're a scout or watch every single game going, then people will base opinions on what info is readily available.

Sure, many did what I did and checked the sites available and looked at Fallenius' stats.

Now, for a RW at 24 in a poor team, in a poor league, his stats are awful and he doesn't even make the starting line up 50% of the time for them. Folk are allowed to form opinions based on such info.

We need better!

Iron, how, as fans, can we judge anyone then? What's the point in discussing any transfers? 😂 Change the site name to Rangers rumours SPFL. Can't discuss anyone else as we don't watch them.

I hear we're also after a less polished version of Filip Sebo, and a goalkeeper who might just have the potential to become as good as Jesper Christiansen for us. I also hear that our scouts are working overtime domestically, trying to identify the next Kirk Broadfoot.

Cheer up, guys 😂 I'm off to watch dear old Bert blooter in his wondergoal again after this display of negativity, pure sacrilege lol.

Wishy, you're discussing rumours on here about potential signings. Tell me, how can you judge a player you've never watched? How can you form an accurate opinion without watching the player? You can't. It's just absolute nonsense! If it was a player who plays in the UK or in the SPFL you've seen every week, or in the flesh at Ibrox, then no issues.

But who has watched the 2 here to form an opinion on them? It's just utter nonsense to suggest a player you've never watched is not good enough. I won't be convinced otherwise.

27 Jul 2026 17:19:34
I just told you why: clips, opinions of people who have watched him, stats. There are many ways to form opinions on players you have never watched in the world of social media.
We aren't in the 50s, mate haha.
