Rangers banter 3

03 Feb 2026 13:51:04
We never got our creative 10 most wanted but looking at our squad could Curtis slot in there. He would certainly run with the ball and take his man on to create an opportunity for someone.

03 Feb 2026 14:17:19
We have too many so called 10s, and keep trying to play them on the wingers.

03 Feb 2026 14:18:00
Curtis is a no.10 for me, however, he plays for Kilmarnock.

03 Feb 2026 14:19:47
Play Chermiti as a 10, Davie. He likes dropping deep, has a good range of passing, and let's see if he can create playing slightly deeper than the cf.

03 Feb 2026 14:19:54
I'd have kept him, but the general consensus is he wouldn't get a lot of minutes. Personally, I'd play him before Moore n develop our own player.

03 Feb 2026 14:22:54
Davie, he went on loan to Kilmarnock.

03 Feb 2026 14:38:27
Hi, ye, I realise he's at Kilmarnock for now. I should have said in the future. I personally believe he would thrive in that position.

03 Feb 2026 14:46:03
Spot on, Fork!

03 Feb 2026 14:46:44
Couldn't agree more, Fork.
I've said that from the start.

03 Feb 2026 14:48:10
Fork, I would have as well, but meant we were technically paying Moore for nothing. Couldn't send him back without paying a fee (I imagine), and Curtis might still only have been back up to Gassama or Skov Olsen.
He will get more starts for Killie than he would for us. Sounds like Rohl rates him, so he will be back.

03 Feb 2026 15:08:16
Definitely, Fork.

03 Feb 2026 15:16:15
That's a good shout, Star, regarding Chermiti with Naderi in front. Could be the recipe we badly need.

03 Feb 2026 15:30:31
Get what you're saying, but I wouldn't have taken Moore on loan to develop for Spurs when we have a cracker to develop in Curtis, and he's ours. Although Moore is not too shabby, I would still prefer Curtis.

03 Feb 2026 16:22:10
Fork, and there you have the decision making of Martin, which is why we are probably where we are with that. 🤷

I agree, I like Moore, but don't really see much he offers that Curtis didn't; perhaps more first team experience at his age. And we moan when our young lads leave. Perhaps the stance with Kyle Glasgow signing might change that.

03 Feb 2026 17:05:29
Mikey Moore is easily the best no.10 at Rangers, and I would love us to be able to keep him for a second season loan deal. 🙏

03 Feb 2026 17:14:34
Maybe Antman or Diomande could play as a so-called 10, especially if Aasgaard is not performing. Maybe its the system Rohl plays, or its the kick and rush of Scottish football that doesn't suit Aasgaard, but there is a player there.

03 Feb 2026 13:16:36
I was reading an article there about Danny Rohl saying our new German striker Ryan Naderi is a cross between the two German striker's Fredi Bobic and nick woltemade 🤔 What's our thoughts on this guys and who was the better striker do you reckon between bobic and woltemade 🤔I always rated bobic highly 👌.

03 Feb 2026 14:18:58
Early doors for Woltemade, also fallen a bit out of favour lately since making a brilliant start to life at Newcastle.

03 Feb 2026 14:22:16
Fredi Bobic for me, sws.

03 Feb 2026 17:17:51
Hopefully a cross between Rudi Voeller and Jurgen Klinsmann, but joking aside, obviously Danny Rohl sees something in the boy.

03 Feb 2026 13:14:28
I believe Naderi is 100% Rohl's choice. Other signings would have had outside influence. I hope the boy hits the ground running for Rohl's sake.

03 Feb 2026 14:22:49
Butland
Sterling
Souttar
Fernandez
Rommens
Raskin
Diomande
Olsen
Chermiti
Moore
Naderi
Plenty of choices now.

03 Feb 2026 14:25:38
Davie, I think the same, but in his presser he is talking about how 'we' have been watching for the last few weeks and months. Might just be the royal we he is using, but it sounded more like the club, or perhaps him and Stig have been watching.

03 Feb 2026 12:58:04
Looking like we're building a team of giants. Most of our signings are 6ft plus and look physically strong hopefully the days of get too easily bullied of the ball is ending.

03 Feb 2026 13:40:58
Prefer bigger more physical types personally however at 6ft2 Scot Olsen is in that category however he looks a bit timid borderline feart. I hope he comes good and starts to get stuck in a bit more.

03 Feb 2026 13:44:28
Martin O'Neill did this with that lot when he first came. Recognised its a physical league so bought tall physical players. I think Rohl relises this as well. Will also help a lot with our set piece coach giving us options on set plays.

03 Feb 2026 12:24:48
Well that's the window closed, only free agents available to sign, as the saying goes "Let battle commence " think it's going to be a very interesting end to the season no doubt points will be dropped by the main contenders but I honestly feel that we have the squad to go on and win the title 🤞🤞🤞.

03 Feb 2026 12:58:43
Are U21's still on the table

03 Feb 2026 14:26:53
No to U21s. Let's settle for, we have our squad now.

03 Feb 2026 14:35:44
Scotty, no, certainly not as incoming. However, players classed as academy, under 19, can still move from Rangers, example Chris Eadie this morning.

03 Feb 2026 15:09:57
John, was that within the cooperation agreements, or to someone else?

03 Feb 2026 12:23:47
Its funny how both sets of fans think. I've looked at the Celtic site over the last week and the similarity of posts to on here is remarkable.
Both sets of fans saying why are we not just going and getting the boy from Motherwell? (Maswanhise)
Both sets of fans seem to think either Rangers or Celtic can just bring in any player they want.


The parent club need to be willing to sell, the player needs to be willing to go to whoever is interested in him.
Neither was true for Maswanhise.
Would I have liked him, yes. Its just not as simple as some make out.

03 Feb 2026 13:17:34
Should Rangers and Celtic expect to sign any player playing for any other club in Scotland. The answer is of course yes as we offer these players a much bigger platform.

The issue now though as to why it's more than likely no happening is more and more clubs are looking at the talent in the league and making moves which in general is pushing the prices up but also offering said players another platform that years gone by wouldn't have happened.

We didn't sing the lad so who really cares, we move on. Shades of Shankland all over again.

03 Feb 2026 14:01:57
If Shankland is that good, why is he still at Hearts? The boy from Motherwell didn't want to move to another Scottish team.

03 Feb 2026 14:28:35
Geesa, I don't know, but I think the saying is he would score goals for fun, so surprised he hasn't been picked up by an Italian team, especially as they took Bowie.

03 Feb 2026 11:04:52
Have we or are we going to sign Dahl? It's on Ibrox news and transfer feed that we're close to signing him? Anyone know anything? A know window is closed but is it possible?

03 Feb 2026 12:20:20
No we can't sign anyone until the summer window now Char.
We could only sign free agents now and he contacted until 2027.

03 Feb 2026 12:24:34
Not true according to the Daily Record.

03 Feb 2026 12:30:01
It would need to be a signing for the summer now that the Scottish window is closed I would think.

03 Feb 2026 13:00:55
If a club cancels a players contract outside of transfer windows, does that mean player is classed as free agent & can sign & play for any club this season.

03 Feb 2026 13:31:15
I'm only asking because I genuinely don't know, can we have a transfer arranged for the summer if the player still has a contract until Dec 2027. Surely that wouldn't be of interest to a selling club. Hopefully someone can answer.

03 Feb 2026 13:46:10
Jasp only if he was a free agent the last window.

03 Feb 2026 13:46:52
Freed today need to wait until the summer.

03 Feb 2026 14:40:11
JFM, I did a quick search of FIFA rules and, whilst I can't be 100% sure as they are confusing, it would appear it is possible. It needs both clubs (and the player) to agree, a transfer fee to be agreed, and the pre-agreement can be signed. However, the player cannot be registered with us until the next transfer window opens.
I think this is what Liverpool did with Jacquet this window. I thought they had signed and loaned him back, but it appears as if they have signed a pre-agreement with Rennes.

So can't be sure, but yes, looks like it is possible.

03 Feb 2026 14:43:35
Star, like you, I thought those were the rules, but did a check as wondered how that would apply to Matondo. It seems if the contract is terminated by mutual agreement, he would be counted as a free agent and, as long as he hasn't played for 2 clubs, he can sign again. I think it is to do with preventing a player from being unable to earn a living, or similar.

Also, I was aware that leagues have a timeframe, usually end of March, when they can still sign for clubs if they are free agents.



Again, can't be 100% sure as rules are written so laymen can't understand them, otherwise we would all be agent. :)

But let's be certain we haven't signed a free agent in recent times, so it isn't going to happen. And for Dhal, they aren't going to cancel an 8m player contract.

03 Feb 2026 14:44:34
No, Jasp, example we free Matondo today, he can't go anywhere in Europe, could go to us South America though.

Your question, Jfm, we can sign a player anytime, however we would not be able to register him until next window opens, 1/7;

Also, as u say re interest off selling club, imo the biggest risk is the buyer.


We buy example Dhal, leave him playing in Norway until 1/7, what happens if he does his cruciate in June? We still pay for him and his salary from 1/7.

For me, a scenario fraught with danger, imo we get everything lined up for a move when window opens 1/7.

03 Feb 2026 15:03:57
What if some1 comes and gives him double the wages we do, John? Then he goes elsewhere. You just need to tae the chance, and if the boy is worth it, get it done and dusted pronto.

03 Feb 2026 15:27:38
John, I think from reading he may be able to go to a club in a country where the transfer window is still open. Registrations (rather than transfers) are based on the buying club, so I think, for instance, he could sign for a Dutch club until midnight tonight, possibly, as he was freed during the 4 weeks of their winter transfer window.

Also, Saudi may be possible. I can't see why he would want to leave if he can't go anywhere; train and possibly play.
Had a check as your post made me think my initial thoughts were correct. Still not 100% sure as rules are lengthy.

03 Feb 2026 10:42:06
Think it's been a relatively decent window, we have added in departments which make us stronger. Yes we would have liked a creative 10, but it's not materialised.
We need to concentrate on what we have and push forward.

It's up to DR to get us playing in a way which allows us to create more for our forwards and its down to the players to show they have the desire and will to go and win a league title which is there for the taking.

Time to show what we are all about.

03 Feb 2026 12:32:01
I've not seen much of him playing but I was wondering could Skov Olsen play as a 10 or does always play wide?

03 Feb 2026 14:44:07
Wsl has always played on the right. Likes to cut in, but can use his right foot as well.

03 Feb 2026 09:40:30
Me personally don't consider Hearts favourites to win the league, I personally think us or them will win it. Both of us strengthened this window. Hearts are playing well beyond their mean while Rangers and them have been shockingly poor.

03 Feb 2026 10:07:24
They're beaten old firm 4 times out of 5 drawing the other and are 6 points clear at the top

In what planet are they not favourites for the title.

03 Feb 2026 10:36:19
Personally I think it will be foolish to write off hearts, they beat us twice took points off them, will be interesting next 5 games to see where we are, hopefully new players in and up to speed quickly.

03 Feb 2026 10:56:42
If they beat us on 15th and pull even further away then there clearly are better than is having beaten us 3 times in the league and will then be 2 far ahead to catch.

03 Feb 2026 11:37:14
Yeah Stevie, I've got to agree that Hearts are most likely to win it.

03 Feb 2026 11:57:41
Beat us and them twice and they are beating the rest you can't rule them out.

03 Feb 2026 12:29:48
Hearts ain't going anywhere, I thought they'd have started dropping more points before now, three way fight, just get 3 points tomorrow.

03 Feb 2026 12:36:58
I thought losing Shankland and Devlin might be a problem for them but a battling draw against Celtic and a comfortable win at Tannadice has kind of put that idea to bed, granted both results were against teams that were down to 10 or even 9 men but they still got the job done. They have to be favourites at this stage because they are mostly beating the rest of the league comfortably and they have the points in the bag.

They have three games left against the OF which will decide things I think, but let them be favourites, it means nothing but it carries a bit of pressure.

03 Feb 2026 13:05:00
yes they have got 2 wins and 1 draw against the old firm, which is 14 points of a swing. and yet they are only 6 points ahead. so despite both OF clubs managerial issues this year we haven't let them get miles ahead and both OF are starting to get results.

however if Hearts do win then they will have deserved it as they have led from tape to tape. 10 games to play so lots of time and all 3 will lose points as well in the run to the finish.

03 Feb 2026 13:54:31
The fact the Old Firm have dramatically cut the lead at the top while still playing way below the standard, that's why I think either 1 of us will win it. I'll say it 1st, Hearts will finish 3rd..
