Hearing this one weekly at the moment Olwethu Makhanya is attracting major attention from the top 6 clubs in the EPL. Murmurs in the club that should he continue his form we could be looking at a club record sale.
A lot said about our recruitment over the last few years but IMO they have nailed it with this boy.
05 Nov 2026 14:37:33
Hopefully doesn't pick up an injury, Rangers have been really unfortunate with injuries, Yilmaz has barely missed any games since Rangers, and his valuation is only going up, same with Cortes, Danilo not valuation but they hardly missed any games before Rangers.
Makhanya could be doing staying another season after this one, lad has the potential for playing for anyone, he stays on the road he's on now and fulfills his potential, he will.
05 Nov 2026 14:40:19
Absolutely no rush to sell imo the boy oozes class, some players I'd happily move on quickly when they show some promise but big Mak is different he's not going to regress he's only going to improve so no need for us to jump the gun on him.
The old saying everyone has their price but imo I wouldn't entertain any offer for any key player in January no matter how much it as winning the title should come before anything at the club just now, our biggest rivals are in a spot of bother and we are building towards being the major force in Scotland once more.
05 Nov 2026 19:05:03
Don't think we are in a position to turn down a silly offer tbh!, but you never know, I might be surprised.
05 Nov 2026 19:55:55
I think even though i rate makhanya absolutely a quality centre half, i think it's too early for him to go to the english Premier League as that's a big step up 🤔🇬🇧I think for the benefit of his career would be to stay with Rangers at least a couple of seasons and continue his climb and improve even further and make sure he's ready for his big move which i've no doubt will come 🤔 Gaining more experience playing for Rangers in the Scottish premiership for a few seasons will absolutely have him more primed/ready for his eventual big move imo 🤔🇬🇧.

Sir Walter the big 6 sign 30/40 million pound prospect all the time they will look at him as a prospect.
05 Nov 2026 22:40:59
I think wolfs payed like 30/40 million for fabio at the time.
05 Nov 2026 23:24:02
One of them may look to sign him and leave him here to develop another year.
06 Nov 2026 00:40:18
Why can't we as a support just enjoy having these players without looking to big them up and tbh exaggerated their worth.
Question if you were in charge of a big 5 club on England would you really be looking at makanya or would you look towards basset who has already shown his worth at top level.
06 Nov 2026 01:00:21
Jam, not talking about 5 big five clubs right now, well I'm not, talking about in another 4/5 years.
I not interested in Rangers selling him just now either.
06 Nov 2026 01:19:54
Totally get mystar btw.
👍
Think the laddie has potential but as you rightly said maybe in few years.
06 Nov 2026 03:11:38
Jam if I was in charge of Liverpool the now or Arsenal yes I'd sign him in the summer and loan him back to Rangers for a year. I'd then look at a stronger league for following year on loan. France Germany or Spain for me.
I'd then look to bring him into the fold aftet that if all went to plan.
So yes mate I do rate him that highly.
06 Nov 2026 03:54:11
So Stevie
You obvs don't think he is ready to start for a top team then.
Not yet anyway
Good clarity.
06 Nov 2026 12:23:49
Do I think he's capable? Yes.
Do I think he's better served building mins and learning on the job for a mid range team? Yes.
Not everything is black and white.
Hes good enough for me yeah but he could do better by staying here and then a stepping stone.
06 Nov 2026 13:09:10
I know these rumours float around but we need to get real .We've heard all these stories about our players going for huge money to other clubs and it rarely happens. We've had it on the past with Morelos , Kent and even Igamane and it just didn't happen .Bassey and Patterson being the exceptions.
Now we're hearing it every week about Fernandez , Raskin, Chermiti, Gassama and now Makhanya and even Minsu but let's see what happens when he window is open, I suspect , nothing and that's a good thing for us . Until then read and laugh at the prices being quoted , that's what I do.
06 Nov 2026 14:03:53
He is playing well for us but it's all about levels. He is playing in SPL I will l hold judgement until Europe. He is our best player just now. He is young and it's only November.
Potentially could go onto to bigger and better things.
06 Nov 2026 14:14:29
To be fair wsl i truly believe if Chermiti hadn't got injured against Hibs after us knocking back a £22million bid from galatasaray, i think he would have been sold possibly to galatasaray for over £25million🤔i absolutely have no doubt about that as they would have been back with a bigger offer 🤔.
06 Nov 2026 14:36:23
Coops absolutely agree mate he was going to be off
And also lads this group of young players are the most talented we've had in decades so we're aloud to be excited and we're aloud to expect a high valuation for them.
06 Nov 2026 14:42:37
Honestly, Maka is a good player and he is playing well, but he's 22 and has played a handful of excellent games in the SPL.
There are a host of younger centre halves across Europe already playing regular minutes in the Top 5 leagues.
Spain, even if we ignore Cubarsi and Huijsen - Sociedad have both Martin and Sarr who are tipped for the very top
Italy, Ramon at Como and Helland at Bologna are absolute mega stars in the making.
Gadou at Dortmund is only 19 and is already valued at 30m and tipped to join Barca or Bayern
The French and Portuguese leagues are full of 21 and 22 year old centreback who are performing week in week out and already have a much deeper CV than Maka.
Again, this isn't aimed as a criticism of Maka, just trying to highlight that we are a very very small pond and we have a real tendency as a fanbase to get a little excited about players and their values.
06 Nov 2026 15:23:12
To be fair I agree that he has potential but as ehl says there is an immense level of talent out there already producing numbers / performances in higher level football.
Let's just enjoy whilst he is here.
