Rangers FC Rumours

15 Dec 2025 10:48:59
Rangers Review article today stating that Rothwell will leave and that Rangers are prioritising a "metronomic" number 6 as they think it will make a massive difference to the side and a wide playmaker who can come centrally similar to what Moore does but also solid out wide.

Also expected to go after a LB and players who have been getting minutes are not expected to leave (Aasgard, Chermiti, Danilo, Gassama, etc). Matondo, Dowell and Rothwell the main ones expected to leave and it's "believed" we're unlikely to go for a CF or CB and that 3 or 4 will come in.

15 Dec 2025 11:14:49
Really hope they reconsider both CH and CF, surely they're the most important.

15 Dec 2025 11:49:55
Also mentions if a wide playmaker comes in then Curtis may leave on loan and none of our loan signings will be terminated early.

15 Dec 2025 11:59:39
Guess Miovski isn't a long term injury, I'd still get another striker as Danilo is a 10 or a second striker and would only work as a false 9 by himself but we don't have goal scoring midfielders or wingers.

We need a CB unless Nsiala will get game time or the 6 will sit in front of the defence or drop into make a 3 similar to how Gio played. We desperately need a CM player who can spot and make a pass or dribble past players as we've lost all creativity with Hagi and Cerny leaving.

15 Dec 2025 12:12:01
We desperately need a new CB at minimum. Arguably a whole new defence but that will take a couple of windows. Agree about wide men, what we have at the moment creates nowt!

15 Dec 2025 12:46:23
So the logic on the CB situation is Souttar is expected back in the next fortnight, Cornelius will be back in the new year as well, Sterling, Tav, Fernandez and Djiga can all play there.

As for the CF position we have 3 and it appears unless interest mounts in one of them then we aren't going to go with 4 strikers. The main issue is chance creation and decision making hence the 6 and wide playmaker being prioritised.

LB is for competition with Meghoma.

15 Dec 2025 12:59:26
I mean what they say and what happens could be 2 totally different things. I'm actually surprised by this as I'd make Raskin or Barron our 6 and get a midfielder that likes a goal in as we lack this massively and don't see either of those 2 adding this to their game.

I agree we need a winger but not a drift inside playmaker as our team needs more goals.

I'd also say that if we get bids for Aasgaard, Gassama then we would sell.

15 Dec 2025 13:14:23
All those positions mentioned would be nice to have but if we don't go and get a decent centre half and even more importantly a decent striker as a priority the second half of the season will be as bad as the first half. Miovski looks as if he has found a bit of form but Danilo is hopeless and Chermiti is worse.

We have four centre backs that can't be trusted and the other with a long term injury so we need experienced cover.
What is a wide playmaker anyway? What we need is an attacking midfielder with a wee bit of devilment in his game like Cantwell showed when he first signed.

15 Dec 2025 13:18:20
It's their opinion thou … they know nothing for certain. We can only hope that it's done early and we're not scraping around as the window closes.

15 Dec 2025 13:32:20
While I agree that we should be looking at a rock solid centre half, it's interesting to note that our goals against column shows we have conceded 13 goals in 15 games, the same as the league leaders and only two more than the scum. That doesn't point towards a leaky defence at SPFL level to me!

15 Dec 2025 13:35:32
BBJ I agree with what you're saying to a degree re Barron and Raskin but it's claimed that Rohl sees them as more of the 8 type and they've been described as "hybrid 6's".

Rohl is looking for a 6 that dictates play and can win his duels whilst protecting the back 4.

L-Mac it is their opinion some of it and I'm sure I read others they say are from sources in the club.

I do think every player has their price in this squad but unless we get silly bids for Gassama, Raskin etc they will all stay and unless we're at least making our money back on the likes of Antman, Aasgaard they will stay as well.

15 Dec 2025 13:40:08
Wsl a wide playmaker is basically a player similar to Mikey Moore. Who starts out wide but drifts in field allowing a wing back to overlap but is technically strong and creative.

So not necessarily your traditional winger that is a great crosser and pacey. It's more about intelligent positioning and creating opportunities to assist and score.

Basically a 10 that plays wider to put it simply.

It's just another way of over-complicating football and probably comes from football manager lol.

15 Dec 2025 14:12:38
I agree we have let in 4 goals since Rohl has been here in 7 games; 4 clean sheets and 5 wins from 7; undefeated. scored 14 also.

so why is it always claimed we have a poor defence and we need new strikers as we don't score. yes our defenders make individual mistakes and our forwards miss chances but that happens everywhere.

15 Dec 2025 14:14:44
The logic on cb and cf is that we currently have 3 strikers that cost us 20m between them, the logic on cb is that we currently have 4, one will be back at the end of december and the other will be back at the end of January. January window is not the window to sell and buy 4 or 5 players each way.

15 Dec 2025 14:53:49
Can someone translate for the layman please?
What in is a metronomic no6?
😂😂😂.

15 Dec 2025 14:56:40
Stevie i believe it is in reference to a No6 who can dictate the play and set the rhythm of the team.

A Rodri type 6.

15 Dec 2025 15:10:03
Yeah Stevie so a metronome is the thing used to keep songs time with the tempo. So basically a metronomic 6 is a tempo setter.

Think as aphelion says a Rodri, xabi Alonso, Busquets, etc type midfielder. In terms of a Rangers comparison its a more defensively accomplished Steven Davis basically.

15 Dec 2025 15:51:23
Metronomic is fancy woke football talk!

I think Steve Davis is an example of this type of player.

15 Dec 2025 16:25:25
Calmac that's the 2 thing we seem to do correctly. business done sharp n snappy just few n far between it's the right business.

15 Dec 2025 16:26:12
Aphe, ayreshire thanks lads…

These people who use these type of words really do just over complicate the game don't they?

15 Dec 2025 16:27:27
6 8 10 11 32 44 my lottery numbers, need info on these numbers feel free to ask me. Generally 6 comes after 5 and just before 7. After eights are mints but you can eat whenever you like at no risk.

15 Dec 2025 16:42:31
Were after the cb from volendam 6,5, perfect partner for Fernandes.

15 Dec 2025 17:04:11
Didn't cost 20million. 8m for Chermiti, 5.5m for Danilo and and 2million for Miovski.

15 Dec 2025 15:48:20
Sorry but our far weakest point is centre back even with souttar n Cornelious back

Djiga ain't good enough n the other we have is prone to injuries.

16 Dec 2025 02:29:50
Easy to say harder to find.

16 Dec 2025 20:30:25
Having players that can play Cb and having players that are good at Cb is two completely different things, suicide if we don't go and get one.

14 Dec 2025 20:06:14
Is there any truth in the rumour that we are considering putting a bid in for Shankland?

14 Dec 2025 20:58:27
I would doubt it when they're in such a strong position. Maybe in the summer?

14 Dec 2025 21:12:43
Hope so but as Kaiser said doubt they will entertain us. Should have signed him for free there.

14 Dec 2025 22:18:25
No chance they will sell to us as it would weaken them for the title push. Who can blame them. If anything they'll keep their top players and build a stronger foundation in January.

14 Dec 2025 22:34:28
I honestly think we will big for him in January I do.

I'd rather we went in for braga.

Anyone have a clue how much either would cost?

I'd say £3m Gets shanks. I'd say £3-4m braga

This isn't my opinion that's what I think hearts would sell at.

Remember they're a selling club, same as us.
And they can buy a replacement same as we have to.

14 Dec 2025 23:08:55
Stevie you thinking that's why hearts sell for is your opinion.

We will not be getting Shankland in Jan. the rumour is not true in my opinion.

14 Dec 2025 23:20:00
Had our chance. Let it lie no way are you paying for him now.

14 Dec 2025 23:23:50
Shankland boat sailed in summer, mind you I've never seen a club waste money like us.

15 Dec 2025 00:41:33
Storm no you have misunderstood or misread my post.

What I'm saying is that those aren't my personal valuations of those players.

That's what I think hearts would sell them for.

15 Dec 2025 07:15:05
That is your opinion though, you think that's what Hearts would sell them for. So that technically is your opinion.

15 Dec 2025 07:19:54
It's not my opinion, just what I think did make me laugh StevieG. 😂. Out of interest what would u value them at realistically?

15 Dec 2025 08:44:46
Stevie, do u partake in mind altering substances, asking for a friend 😉👍.

15 Dec 2025 09:05:33
The lawrence shankland ship has now sailed for us 🤔We had our chance to sign him for nowt but for whatever reason passed that chance up 🤔We won't pay over £3million minimum, that hearts would now want if they were to even contemplate selling him, as he's on the wrong side of 30 years old for to pay out that sort of money 🤔 God we sold Dessers because he was hitting 30years old, so absolutely no danger will we now sign shankland for the same reason we sold big CD9 🤔.

15 Dec 2025 09:55:15
Sitting here chuckling away😂. Stevie you need to say where you got the evaluations from.
Ship has sailed, don't believe we will bid.

15 Dec 2025 12:13:37
Heard they have targeted a 31 year old CF that plays in the Greek league, scores 1 goal per 10 shots and has eyes bluer than the sea 😂.

15 Dec 2025 12:25:33
No chance.
As said that ship has sailed.

15 Dec 2025 13:19:39
We wouldn't pay the money for Shankland when signing him might have won us the league two seasons ago then we wouldn't sign him when he was on a free last summer now we are thinking about bidding again when it would take big money to prise him out of Hearts.

Also Hearts have a genuine chance of winning this league and they know how important he is, pretty sure he missed some of they games that they dropped points recently. Can't see him joining Rangers.

15 Dec 2025 14:59:44
Fair enough lads 🙌 lol

What I mean is it's not my valuations, it was to avoid the whole debate over who's worth what I couldn't be bothered with it.

I'd value shankland at £2m and I'd value braga at £4m.

15 Dec 2025 15:30:47
Is that your 👀 opinion? 😉👍😇.

15 Dec 2025 16:29:43
Fork that's is my opinion of their valuation compared with my own valuation, at least in my opinion 😂😂.

15 Dec 2025 16:30:11
Shankland would want to come so if we want him it will certainly upset Gorgie sour faces and sun bed McInnes.

15 Dec 2025 17:05:20
Lol no worries bud😉🤣🤣👍.

16 Dec 2025 02:12:10
Anyway. Back to the mind altering substances lol.

16 Dec 2025 02:31:24
They would be mad to sell when chasing title. even finnishing second would be huge boost for Europe for them.

14 Dec 2025 19:54:50
The story about Gassama valued at £5 million is not true. It will take significantly more for us to consider selling in January.

14 Dec 2025 20:14:21
If that's true we have a bit of a cheek asking for more than that. Looks more like a player of half that fee but will welcome any profit on him.

14 Dec 2025 22:20:07
Cuillin u jesting? Look at his form the start of this season. He was red hot. Like most of our players they're not performing collectively. Hopefully with a few new additions in January, it'll push them to hit top form.

14 Dec 2025 23:09:43
France he wasn't red hot he done well at the start. That is all.

15 Dec 2025 09:43:58
Scored 4 in the champions league qualifiers out of 6 games for a winger what would you call that storm.

15 Dec 2025 10:01:31
Gassama all in has been poor. Moments of magic and good.
Being consistent every week is the key and he is not.
Franco a few games at the beginning of season. We are half way through December.
The boy is lazy at times. Does not track back when he should. It doesn't matter what the rest of team do.

You only can control what you do on pitch, run, chase, defend. Work hard. He does not do enough of this for me.
He plays like an individual at times. Poor decision making, not passing when he should. Etc
I would be happy to see him go.

15 Dec 2025 12:16:20
Gassama has become Matondo in disguise.

Not sure Matondo dived about as much though.

Gassama spends more time on his arse than in the box and he's now got the divers reputation.

He has a had a couple of decent games, that's all.

if an offer of £5m came in for him, i'd be taking it.

15 Dec 2025 13:23:54
He's not Matondo in disguise, for a start he's a young guy that hasn't come from the level that Matondo did and he hasn't spent most of his time with us on the treatment table.
The boy was instrumental in us even making the Europa League, maybe we should show him some support rather than just wanting to dump him because he's struggling a bit.

15 Dec 2025 16:30:30
Here here wsl. That's the issue with fans. Soon as players go off the boil then their barry white. Be different if he looked gash from the off set then it's understandable.

15 Dec 2025 16:47:01
Theres a difference between struggling and just diving about

looked to be a real player at the start. then just went no where

The Matondo comparison is valid though. both are fast and tricky wingers that score the odd worldie but the rest of the time have no end product. Matondo scored in Europe to get us through a stage (Betis i'm sure)
Matondo i'm sure used to track back though.

16 Dec 2025 02:34:18
Kevin Thelwell should be sued by club for horrendous job he did

Camara no scoring well in portugal we had him for nothing passed

Shankland could have had for nothing passed

Mullin on the cheap passed

Then he buys Chermiti ooft wow will be interesting to see what is the next mug to sign him up.

16 Dec 2025 11:22:27
Wsl / Franco. He will get support when he starts earning the big money he is on. Perfect example last night when he almost cist us a goal in the last few minutes.
Yes he young but should know the basics.

14 Dec 2025 18:40:04
We were actually talking about this on here last night ie. the hopeful possibility of Mikey Moore extending his stay at Rangers beyond the end of this season and signing another season long loan deal for another season after this season 🙏Now Mikey Moore is actually saying this in a daily record interview this afternoon. 👍🇬🇧 Would love this to be the case, as he's a talented boy 👌🇬🇧.

14 Dec 2025 19:18:29
And only a few weeks ago some were wanting him sent back to Spurs in January.

14 Dec 2025 19:25:52
hes going to be a star.

14 Dec 2025 20:01:27
Fifepl that's why people shouldn't be written off too early, I have every faith that Oliver Antman will be a great signing.

14 Dec 2025 20:11:53
You'd like to think so, Aphelion.
Top assists in the eredivisie last year, he's definitely a player. No idea what we did to him unless its the pressure.

14 Dec 2025 20:48:11
Aphelion and many wanted Bajrami sold in the summer, some players take longer but they're not giving that opportunity at Rangers mate.

14 Dec 2025 21:05:01
Mike Moore is saying what you want to hear and playing the Academy taught game!, he is hardly going to say ' this is a nightmare and I want out if here, ' is he?

14 Dec 2025 21:34:06
Yes my Star I know you have always urged patience in terms of players. Personally i wanted to keep Bajrami and believe he is our best CAM.

14 Dec 2025 21:58:09
Fife but surely you know he has had a good game since then. also still 2 weeks till January so if he plays badly we will want his loan cancelled again 😂.

14 Dec 2025 22:16:15
I also thought we should sell Bajrami. Although unconvinced he is someone I want to be starting for this club next season he offers us something tik the summer.

Are his nation going to World Cup? Albania is it?

14 Dec 2025 22:19:25
And Gassama,

He frustrated n. showing it. But will get better. With better around him.

There's one who are way worse in the team. N have been for seasons n woeful many times. But I don't see folk calling them out.

15 Dec 2025 01:47:05
If 'It's not down to me' means 'I'd like to stay for another year' then maybe Moore will be back, but I doubt it. He'll probably be sent abroad for a season to play at a higher level.

15 Dec 2025 01:57:44
Just like to add this. We've already paid £2m to have money Moore come the summer, if they want another £2m that's £4m we could've spent on a player of our own.

That's not good business.

15 Dec 2025 06:06:36
Stevie, it would be still regarded good business if keeping mikey Moore helped us win the league in get into the group stages of the champions league, would you not agree mate 🤔 Hypothetical just now i know, but possible when you look at and consider all scenarios 🤔.

15 Dec 2025 08:54:17
I'll have some of what you are drinking this team needs a complete overhaul they are winning **** all this season.

15 Dec 2025 10:06:49
Angus the point I was making how things changed quickly for him over a couple of weeks, think everyone is aware that he has improved recently and long may it continue.

15 Dec 2025 10:20:42
Fife, there's no doubt that Moore was a talented player who obviously took a bit of time showing it at Rangers, which he's now doing of course 👍🇬🇧 He's a very highly rated young footballer down there in england.

15 Dec 2025 11:06:33
Fife I was actually agreeing with you in that opinions change so quickly in just a game so by January he will not be wanted again.

btw Stevie the prices named for fees and loan fees are 'rumours'. no-one knows what they are. that is the issue here though it suddenly becomes gospel and are used to beat a player with.

15 Dec 2025 13:28:45
Can't compare new players taking time to settle to Bajrami who has been here for over a year and shown nothing. This summers poor signings still don't make guys like Bajrami and Danilo good Rangers players. They have had long enough to show what they have got under various managers and failed to contribute on a consistent basis.

15 Dec 2025 16:33:21
Coops, the thing is mate it would be good idea to keep him next season if he continues to improve come the summer.

We may be wise to negotiate his deal for next season sooner farther than later though as if he has a storming 2nd half to the season there will be more attractive offered than us on the table and spurs could make more money.
It's a judgement call really.

When u thinkn we could get a sima or cerny for £5m and we spend £4m on laim fees for Moore it's really not good business maye.

15 Dec 2025 21:11:42
Mikey Moore in the role best for him Antman has been carrying an injury which has worsened, he will be fine.

16 Dec 2025 02:35:25
I hope not would rather try find and develope our own players.

14 Dec 2025 11:56:54
Kurt Zouma the latest Rouma.

14 Dec 2025 12:08:39
What, the guy who is currently on £45k a week yet can't get a game for Cluj because both his knees are so done that according to them he can 'barely walk' and has only play 1 game for them this season? Yeah sounds like a great plan!

14 Dec 2025 12:09:17
Two dodgy knees and hasn't been fit enough to play for Cluj this season, sounds like the perfect player.

14 Dec 2025 12:13:13
That's putting the cat amongst the pigeons ….

14 Dec 2025 12:26:39
Sounds perfect for us, nae legs on £45grand, sign him up.

14 Dec 2025 13:24:16
He's a cb big Filip Helander had no pace a cb does not need to be quick if they can read the game well a loan deal would be decent t cover half his wage.

14 Dec 2025 13:29:14
He's an absolute helmet, no thanks.

14 Dec 2025 13:33:20
Purrfect🦿.

14 Dec 2025 14:23:25
For solely the way he treated his cat absolutely not …. Vile individual….

14 Dec 2025 15:05:59
Hard to believe due to the fact our CB position is full of injuries and I doubt Rohl would be wanting him as he's got a lot of mistakes in him too. If it is true there's plenty around his age and wage range in the Premier league that would be better options.

14 Dec 2025 18:39:58
Tom Lawrence welcomed by many on here drink driving and left his team mate at the crash but no to a cat beating guy glad to see they are some morals we have.

This guy should be nowhere near Ibrox.

14 Dec 2025 19:51:05
Cb from volendam is already on the cards, younger.

15 Dec 2025 03:50:03
Could someone elaborate on this cat thing yous are in aboit?

15 Dec 2025 08:47:48
Zouma abused his cat stevie, was all over the papers a while back.

15 Dec 2025 08:56:59
Google him stevie, guy is a banger.

15 Dec 2025 21:12:22
Zoomer aye.

13 Dec 2025 15:32:02
Looks like Rothwell going to championship

Also we r aiming to sell Gassama for about 5 million.

13 Dec 2025 16:03:59
wonder if that is a Danny Rohl decision as he's not happy with Gassama or if Gassama is wanting away.

13 Dec 2025 16:11:34
Tav I understand it's a Rangers decision.

13 Dec 2025 16:14:15
I know he's went off the boil a bit but are we just going to sell anyone to raise money even if its someone you can work with and can clearly be a good player for us. We have no options on wings as it is.

13 Dec 2025 16:21:20
John £5m for Gassama is fantastic business, we should bite off the hand that offers that.

Any idea on a few for Rothwell?

13 Dec 2025 16:27:47
Are we getting anything for Rothwell John?
Even tho I'd be happy to just have his wage off the books.

13 Dec 2025 16:36:57
If we got 6m for the 2 of them and the chance to reinvest then seems decent business. There's others I would prefer to go before Gassama but we need to consider offers if they come in. Tav123 might just be a deal that suits everyone, Rohl has started him in nearly all his games over the last few seasons.

John i am sure you mentioned some players potentially had precontracts agreed to join us, are these still on, were they Thelwell targets and do you think we might pay to get them in Jan?

13 Dec 2025 16:43:39
I imagine Rothwell, although the fee will be undisclosed, would be a half a million deal. Just feels like that kind of deal. Dowell I imagine we could get £200k or sumfin.

13 Dec 2025 16:48:13
John do you know if it's a loan or permanent transfer? Shame it hasn't worked for him up here, had high hopes for him.

13 Dec 2025 17:07:02
Take the money for Gassama. Never seen someone with such lack of effort. Be well rid of that boy.

13 Dec 2025 17:13:22
No brainer selling Gassana for £5 million.
Great business. Reinvest and go again.

13 Dec 2025 17:14:21
Agree dado. He needs a lot of coaching but at least you can see the boy has something, couldn't say as much for the rest.

13 Dec 2025 17:15:24
Good deals 🫡.

13 Dec 2025 17:47:32
Shame how it's gone with Gassama. Looked at first we had real potential and esp with Rohl coming in thought he'd kick on. £5m would be a good profit though I'd prefer others out before him. Think club are just happy to clear any out tbh so they can start to rebuild again.

13 Dec 2025 17:59:29
I would have thought Danny Rohl would have been wanting to keep Gassama, as he always rated him highly at sheff wednesday 🤔.

13 Dec 2025 18:01:22
Gone off the boil abit? He has fallen off a cliff and done nothing since the first few weeks of the season. If we get £5m for him and reinvest in another winger then that's brilliant. Honestli if we are looking at getting rid after half a season then there are reasons we are not privvy to.

Great news John thanks for sharing.

13 Dec 2025 18:13:50
Possibly jim. But if you could name me many other players who have been 'on the boil' then i'd like to hear them. He may well be a wee c@nt but to me it smacks of - sell any asset to try undo the mess we have made while another 7 or 8 diddies get kept and will get used.

The defence should be priority not selling wingers mid season when we have none.

13 Dec 2025 18:17:09
At Sheffield Weds he was in open games. No one put 10 men behind the ball! He had plenty room to run into and stretch defences. His best performances for us have been IMO in Europe where the above is applicable. He's rotten in tight spaces, a head down runner, and if you deny him space you take the one thing in his armoury away, pace! He's not suited to our league.

He's no better than Matondo just more available, both good for a screamer but consistently poor all round.

13 Dec 2025 18:35:54
If we can double our money take it, looks to have a bit of attitude and not the kind that's productive. Build up that kitty.

13 Dec 2025 18:45:55
John,
Are we actively looking to move him for £5million or simply pricing him at £5m?

13 Dec 2025 18:52:50
gassama hasn't agreed to go anywhere yet all rumours spoke to someone who speaks to him constantly but if they get offered good money Rangers will more than likely sell, Rothwell told Danny Rohl he was yer to go in january as soon as he came in and asked not to be picked he's a coward glad he's away.

13 Dec 2025 18:59:19
Lmac, that's a nail on the head assessment for me 👏.

13 Dec 2025 18:59:59
Get rid!

13 Dec 2025 19:14:50
Supernova I'm told we are getting what we paid, 400k re Rothwell

Huey I said we r trying to get three in on pre contract, not aware if any signed yet,

Big dado 49s very good at getting rid off assets
Sort out Gassama attitude, final ball, laziness u have a very good player worth ten million.

13 Dec 2025 19:28:36
I think it would be a mistake selling him for such little amount.
What's 5 million in today's game it's literally pocket change in England and Spain.
Also need to remember the full team has been struggling not just Gassama.
Get him better quality players beside him and he could be a real asset who we could sell for way more than that.

13 Dec 2025 19:33:45
Great assessment lmac of Gassama.

His attitude is stinking.

How much did we pay for him John?

13 Dec 2025 19:36:33
Gassama has to be worth more than £5m! Only way I'm accepting that is if they taking Chermiti too else I want at least £7m!

13 Dec 2025 19:47:49
Thanks John 👍.

13 Dec 2025 19:50:55
Lmac, very few teams now park the bus v Rangers due to how bad we are. Most teams even at Ibrox play an open game as there confident they can get something from us.

13 Dec 2025 19:55:07
I read online Sheffield United for Rothwell. He likely go back there and do very well under Wilder. Good luck to him if he goes.

13 Dec 2025 19:58:56
Selling Gassama and being stuck with Antman makes me ill.

13 Dec 2025 20:05:26
Gassama another who looked great in the champ, brutal up here. There's a pattern here.

13 Dec 2025 20:20:39
Storm just over two million, we have allegedly said that's the fee he's available for.

13 Dec 2025 20:28:58
Agree Gassama seems to just be an upgraded Matondo.
I would honestly take Kent on lower wages than before as a rotation option and spend money on Daramy.

13 Dec 2025 20:36:57
I don't think many teams park the bus, play 10 behind the ball, or whatever we are calling it, against us anymore. I feel most teams now are confident of getting something from us so have a go knowing we are likely to crumble.

I don't believe he plays even that well against the European teams, as evidenced the other night after getting hooked for having a stinker. So for me, Gassama just isn't that good, and no harm John, but that's an awful lot of things he needs to fix to be worth 10m. Think we paid about right for him so anything north of that and bite their hand off for it.

13 Dec 2025 20:45:20
They might have been good at getting rid of assets at Leeds John but clubs are loaded down there so can get big moneu. If they want to sell players for 5m first sniff of interest they won't be very good at anything up here.

13 Dec 2025 20:55:21
Gassama is far too greedy with the ball and always looks to shoot when there's options plus he goes down far too easy and dives too much and when things don't go his way, he doesn't try and goes on a mood. Dundee United is a prime example got into fantastic positions then instead of a pass or a cross, he looked for a shot and eventually gave the ball away, he should be more like Saka and getting into the box by the goal line and causing havoc but he stops.

13 Dec 2025 21:05:36
If we sell those few players, we can put the money together and buy mikey Moore in a permanent deal 🙏.

13 Dec 2025 21:26:23
Dado we have none on the boil and I agree there are others we should prioritise for sure but if someone offers the £5m we take it as I don't see him kicking on in our league as L-Mac is right, he isn't suited to playing against the set ups in our league and certainly doesn't suit him as he is a headless chicken 99.99% of the time.

For me it's honestly no issue as long as the money we get for him is invested back into that position.

13 Dec 2025 22:10:46
perhaps if our old board had been as willing and able to get rid of assets we wouldn't have been under pressure financially and close to going bust again 🤷.
2 1/2 times profit for a player some fans don't rate is surely good business after 6 months to then reinvest and get the next 2 1/2 times profit but hopefully this time we can get the players who drive us forward on the pitch as well.

I like Gassama as a player but it just hasn't worked out yet.

13 Dec 2025 22:12:22
Sws that's dreaming mate.

13 Dec 2025 22:23:56
SWS, You are having a laugh?, please confirm?

13 Dec 2025 22:36:08
I think Oumar Camara might have been the pick of PSG kids over Gassama. He scored the winner today. Think he is four in last 5 games for Vitoria Guimares out in Portugal now. A goal and assist last week to evict Porto in a QF cup tie in Porto in a 3-1 victory. After a slow start breaking his way into starting line up, he looks to be making a real name for himself even at only 18.

Pity that deal was cancelled as that must have felt like a a real coup for Koppen at the time. Another one with a bright future that could have been. What were they thinking?

13 Dec 2025 22:45:57
Guys that was tongue totally in cheek regarding signing mikey Moore in a permanent deal 🙏We all know there's absolutely no chance we can sign this talented, young footballer permanently ☹️ The best i think we can hope for is an extended one year loan deal after this original loan deal ceases, at the end of this season 🙏.

13 Dec 2025 23:51:49
Would like that sws.

14 Dec 2025 07:53:49
Decent profit if money reinvested I've no problem with it and just because Gassama was at sheffield with eohl doeant mean he rates him.

Sorry but if we always sell for profit then we will win long term.

14 Dec 2025 09:39:25
John, also hearing that Dowell and Matondo have good offers from the Championship

Nsiala from Belgium

Dio attracting interest from France again.

Could be an interesting window.

14 Dec 2025 10:33:36
I think Gassama could be a good player for us, but is being brought done by the lack of quality in the team as a whole. I would keep him.

Perhaps we should try to cut our losses with Chermiti. We may be better to sell now rather than wait until the add one are close to being triggered, depending on what they are.

14 Dec 2025 11:13:58
EHL I really hope so. But can we please be patient and selective. No need for re-build number 24. My Christmas wish is that the club source a new captain. Someone who the club knows will deliver and will lead from the front.

I am not bashing Tav. Butcher, Gough, Greig, Ferguson all had their time. Tav has had his. We don't need a re-build, we need a sign of intent that allows us to move on from that disastrous summer.

14 Dec 2025 11:31:23
Don't think there is anyone that I would want to keep now. We've got to remember that the players that were here prior to Thelwell weren't good enough and joke is they are the ones that look the better options in the squad.

My view on Gassama is that £5m is good profit now on a player that I'm not convinced will become a £10M+ player. Hopefully some of this will help off-set Chermiti loss when it comes as we will struggle to get £1M nevermind £8M.

I had high hopes for Rothwell but if we can make our money back then free's up a wage to help invest in a new defence I'd bite your hand-off.

14 Dec 2025 11:31:52
Dowell rumoured to be going to hull.
Rothwell derby and Sheff united.

14 Dec 2025 11:35:35
I honestly think we should be asking for a fair bit more for gasama. i'd be disappointed at less than £7.5m given we've only recently bought him. Then again, I agree he's not lived up to the early hype yet so maybe I'm being overly optimistic.

14 Dec 2025 12:06:55
Windy of the 6 players mentioned in this thread, 4 have had zero involvement since Rohl came in - so not sure their departure constitutes a rebuilt?

14 Dec 2025 12:29:01
The question is Unionjack1, where's lyndon dykes going in january mate 🤔EHL, do you think dykes is possibly coming to Rangers on loan in january 🤔.

14 Dec 2025 12:45:49
Agree on that point. So if 4 aren't being used, get rid but don't bring 4 in. Especially squad fillers or loans. What we are doing isn't working. So build a team for long term not a season then sell at a profit hopefully. Gough etc better captains than Tav had their time, so move him on.

No one in that team deserves to be Captain. Ferguson had Abertz, Reyna and Gio, Amuruzo, Numan, Klos to deal witth. So some intent about a serious rebuild instead of constant quantity over quality. Some want 7.5 for Gas man. Man I'm seriously out of touch. 😳.

14 Dec 2025 14:15:58
Need to keep Gassama but play him on LW his form and attitude was better when he was playing LW I would play Curtis on RW. I would play the below structure.

CAM - Moore
RW - Curtis
LW - Gassama
ST - who ever is scoring goals.

14 Dec 2025 18:42:42
Agree Ibroxstorm.

14 Dec 2025 18:43:13
Yeah coops let's bring dykes in who barely scores that's just what we need.

14 Dec 2025 19:30:11
I would definitely keep Gassama, to at least summer.
5 million is selling him short, what Rangers have been doing all to long
Gassama is easily worth upwards of 8

N I believe in a better Rangers
With more coaching from Raul
He could be a vital asset
There's a player there
We can get way better from him
N way more after a decent season n a better euro run.

15 Dec 2025 06:12:08
Storm, i never said to bring lyndon dykes in mate, i merely was responding to an earlier poster called Hoth, who had heard we were interested in him 🤔.

15 Dec 2025 15:07:05
Most teams still play the low block, what they do is quick at counter attack. Unfortunately we are too slow to transition into an effective counter attack when theirs breaks down allowing them to get back into their defensive shape.

16 Dec 2025 02:39:47
Ehl i agree don't think we would miss any of them.

Also some of them on decemt wages to free that up for some scottish league players on less would be a no brainer.

13 Dec 2025 13:43:54
just read a story that Leeds are poised to make a significant offer for Raskin and spurs reported to be interested what is acceptable as a significant offer.

13 Dec 2025 14:10:25
January-£15 starting I'd say and say 'no' see where the bidding war goes, if serious…obvioulsy 15-20% sell on.

13 Dec 2025 14:10:46
15m, not on form though, due to his international games.

13 Dec 2025 14:52:12
aye £15 million upwards plus a sell on clause seems about right.

13 Dec 2025 14:58:19
We need to keep Raskin until he has played at World Cup. A strong showing there and his value goes up 🫡.

13 Dec 2025 15:06:41
Florida don't think we'll have anything to worry about Raskin with leaving in January.

13 Dec 2025 16:23:33
I'd be looking for £25m for a Belgian starting midfielder

His form doesn't back that up just now so I'd look to get that figure through add ons and sell on, that way by the end of it all we get that number. Happy with £15m upfront with £5m in add ins and 15% sell on?

13 Dec 2025 17:39:12
I like that way of negotiating, Spurs bid £15million but we manage to get them to lower the price by saying he's not worth it, is off form and only plays well for his country. Maybe that's the reason the other mob get better money for players than us, they bum up all their players as being better than they are, not worse.

13 Dec 2025 17:50:39
Being realistic anything north of £10m and he's gone. Again a shame but that's what the trading model was about.

13 Dec 2025 18:39:50
He is a Belgium international, so £15 m and add ons would be a fair price even though he's off the boil, yes he may have a good World Cup, but he may not, don't think we would miss him that much if replacement could hit the ground running.
Need to freshen up this team.

13 Dec 2025 19:17:18
All u guys who want 15, 20, 25 million, what u going to say when someone meets his asking price 12 million euros, would that be an igamane type melt down or jefte price.

13 Dec 2025 19:35:20
Wsl no player Celtic have sold for good money has got that because of fans bumming them up.

13 Dec 2025 20:52:30
John an igamane style let down.

We'd be as well keeping him tik after the World Cup when his stock may be booming.

13 Dec 2025 21:26:18
12m euros for Raskin is absolutely fine for me. I don't think he's irreplaceable by any means the role he plays.

13 Dec 2025 22:27:18
Think Raskin, has part of any deal in his pocket, so we need to set the deal 15-20, by the time him and his agent get their share we will get 10 if we are lucky.
Personally I'd go 20 mill, no add on, maybe a % on future sell on.

14 Dec 2025 00:37:42
15 mil we are 4th in the league. 10 mil and a sell on is best we can hope for Belgium not the team they were.

14 Dec 2025 07:58:24
Match bassey offer and sell on.

14 Dec 2025 09:41:28
I'm not sure Raskin will move in January, if he moves and doesn't get first team football straight away it may jeopardise his chances of going to the World Cup.

14 Dec 2025 11:35:05
Fairpoint re Raskin EHL, he may not want to go at the minute. I wouldn't be adverse to selling him though. £12M+ euros with a sell on would be decent.

14 Dec 2025 12:10:42
I doubt Raskin would agree to any move in January possibly putting his world cup place in jeopardy. He's a starter for Belgium and I'm presuming Belgium will get at least to the quarter finals of the world cup. Rangers should reject any offers for Raskin.

He still has another year left on his contract with an option of another year. We're in no rush to sell. Rask8ns stalk will only rise at the world cup if he plays. Would be criminal to sell in january.

14 Dec 2025 13:46:17
If Leeds stay up and that's doubtful.

14 Dec 2025 18:02:16
If you take 10m for Raskin your off your head look who he keeps out the Belgium team.

14 Dec 2025 18:44:15
Raskin is NOT leaving in Jan! That risks his WC hopes.

14 Dec 2025 23:25:35
Shota, he might not have a good World Cup, his repayment might not hit the ground running,

16 Dec 2025 02:45:25
There are no bidding wars anymore people are not daft if 15 starting fee then everyone will just offer 15 and then compete on wages and conditions

We set the price for me same as bassey same level of player and if anything belgium more of a chance of doing something good and driving up his value than nigeria.

13 Dec 2025 13:03:32
Heard a bit chat from a good source that we've been watching Sevelj and Dolcek at Dundee United.

Actually liked the look of Sevelj the couple of time I've seen him.

Dolcek I don't think I recall at all.

13 Dec 2025 14:14:19
Should be watching the Motherwell rw.

13 Dec 2025 14:39:11
Fatah is the one I'd be looking at from DU.

13 Dec 2025 15:08:42
MyStar, from what I've heard, we've got scouts attending Killie, United, Hibs, Aberdeen and St Mirren games.

Not heard anything about watching anyone at Motherwell.

13 Dec 2025 16:23:44
Cheers EHL, Motherwell player Maswanhise.

13 Dec 2025 16:24:45
The Zimbabwean lad at Motherwell just won player of the month. He looks a decent player. We'll worth watching.

13 Dec 2025 17:35:43
Dolcek scored a few goals at the start of the season and was getting rave reviews now he struggles to get a start. Signing players on the back of a few weeks or even months of good form is just going to make things worse not better.

13 Dec 2025 22:14:18
correct wsl but seems to have a bit of an attitude problem and work rate issues which is why he was dropped,

14 Dec 2025 11:36:52
When you whack those 2 boys into the Tony B magical AI machine are they any good? ;-)

12 Dec 2025 21:10:32
Apparently we're interested in Daylam Meddah 23yo CB, plays for Pau FC.

12 Dec 2025 22:12:03
We need an experienced centre half 🤔.

12 Dec 2025 22:38:56
just looked at his profile again, primarily plays as a #6 but can play CB.

12 Dec 2025 23:04:42
Strong tackler.

12 Dec 2025 23:21:31
Id be happy just having a centre half that can defend and not make so many mistakes.

13 Dec 2025 05:03:37
We do need experience but we can't just stop looking at other players.

13 Dec 2025 05:22:52
Ger88 you will never find that cb, certainly not for the money we could afford, big struggle finding one of them for any amount mate, maybe defend well but mistakes will always happen, just the same as world class cf's will miss sitters.

13 Dec 2025 06:08:57
We have 2 experienced ch out injured they don't make us much better in defence. We still make those silly mistakes.

13 Dec 2025 07:58:18
Correct mystar, experience doesn't necessarily translate to concentration but finding a player that doesn't switch off and can do the basics of defending correctly surely can't be that hard to find? We'll see what Santa brings us 😂.

13 Dec 2025 09:13:26
Doesn't necessarily need to be an experienced CH but it needs to be a dominant one that just deals with situations and takes charge.

13 Dec 2025 11:48:08
Fabian Scharr is out of contract in the summer. He's 33 granted, but he's highly experienced, knows the game, isn't mugged off often in the Premier League. He'd bring lots of exactly what we need. Captain material as well. Solid addition. Might have better offers but if you don't ask.

13 Dec 2025 12:57:11
Schar would be an outstanding signing for Rangers L-Mac, but that won't happen though.

13 Dec 2025 13:33:29
Great shout. He is a leader and is pretty handy in both boxes. Also seems to sray fit and available. If we can afford him he would be an excellent addition.

13 Dec 2025 13:40:50
I was thinking of Lascelles of Newcastle, doesn't seem to be involved this season although I don't know if he's injured. He could do a Davie Weir for this team, win headers and tackles, lead and organise. He's in his thirties but we do need experience at the back.

13 Dec 2025 16:25:27
Wsl lascles would be a class act up here I think.
