Rangers FC Rumours

08 Jan 2026 20:03:11
Heard anything on Bowie to Rangers, two of my mates saying something is happening….

08 Jan 2026 20:40:41
Be a difficult one unless we got rid of Danilo.

08 Jan 2026 20:45:15
I'll be honest, he isn't for me. Would rather spend same fee on shankland as he actually scores goals. Bowie had a wee flurry but that's it.

08 Jan 2026 20:53:03
He's bang avg.

08 Jan 2026 20:54:24
IMO, we need better.

08 Jan 2026 21:17:48
Stevie Clifford on 4lads mentioned he'd heard a rumour today for Bowie.

08 Jan 2026 21:51:30
Think he has that physicality that none of our forwards has. He has bullied our CBs every time I've seen him play against us. Not sure if that's the type we need though.

08 Jan 2026 22:05:30
Be guess work as nobody knows unless it comes from Rohl or cavanagh, well that's what orangeT says. might as well close the sit down and hope cavanagh make a rumours page 🤣.

08 Jan 2026 22:19:40
Topper Ryan 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

08 Jan 2026 22:35:41
If Danny can get a tune out of Chermiti sure he can out of Bowie, we need more physical players.

09 Jan 2026 06:07:42
I still think people are bigging him up because of the European goal.

09 Jan 2026 08:12:20
We have scouted him and he apparently is very highly thought of.

Personally I haven't ever been over impressed.

09 Jan 2026 09:07:33
When did Bowie bully our CBs?

Has even even scored against us?

The lad is a diver as well

This the lad is still living off that worldie he scored months ago, done nothing of merit since

think everyone is at panic stations the now and throwing names out left and right and hoping they are correct.

09 Jan 2026 11:10:28
Fulham didn't think he could make it and got rid.

09 Jan 2026 13:09:11
AllyMc62, Bowie scored against us at Easter Road last season.

09 Jan 2026 13:14:46
Get C Wilson on loan till end of season - he knows where the goals are - no issue IMHO 🤔then look for another CF/goalscorer in Summer window.

09 Jan 2026 13:45:53
Wilson yep he would do, but Martin O'No appears to have noticed and he has no much to spend as per usual for them.

Hull have McBurnie doing well offer them Dowell, Matondo and a friendly match down there for free plus a few quid.

08 Jan 2026 18:05:15
Connor Barron and Dujon Sterling injuries are long term.

The club will need to accelerate some deals that were maybe planned for later now.

08 Jan 2026 18:22:50
Go all out and get Silas Anderson and get another Centre back in. Tav will need to step up now.

08 Jan 2026 18:26:13
Some OOC targets likely to be accelerated.

08 Jan 2026 18:31:44
Cussing that's why they are bring in the left back and the midfielder we had bids accepted for today then.

08 Jan 2026 18:31:45
Need a defensive minded rb on loan dor 6 months to cover Sterling for me thata a must now.

08 Jan 2026 18:32:03
Wondered how many games Sterling would last, hey ho, no surprises there!
More concerned with Barron, he was just settling in nicely with Raskin.

08 Jan 2026 18:36:15
If Sterling is long term again. Then probably needs moved on.

08 Jan 2026 18:37:56
How is Sterling injured or is it club pulling him out the firing line.

08 Jan 2026 18:39:28
Sterling out again? Seriously get rid. Probably the best RB we have but useless only getting 2 or 3 games every few months. I'll drive him back down south because he canna do it himself.

08 Jan 2026 18:41:07
If Sterling is out again long term he's unfortunately a waste of a wage. Really like the guy and plays for the shirt. but similar to the likes of Ryan Jack, that's not enough if constantly out injured. 😪.

08 Jan 2026 18:48:03
Think we need a couple more, and I would like to see a striker come in, we have a good chance of the league but further injury's could derail us big time. Need to go for it.

08 Jan 2026 18:50:08
Never mind sacking Sterling he needs be moved on regardless guy is fit for 5 games a season.

08 Jan 2026 18:51:48
We need a RB in this window.

08 Jan 2026 19:02:29
Not shocked regarding Sterling it was more of a matter of when.

08 Jan 2026 19:02:31
Mark I didn't believe we did with Sterling but I do now.

08 Jan 2026 19:21:35
Was it stated by the Club or the media that Barron was injured long term.

08 Jan 2026 19:27:46
Kaiser, why can't he drive himself back down south? Serious question.

08 Jan 2026 19:30:58
A like big Sterling but he's far to injury prone a lot of that squad dead wood now take what u can get for them move on honestly a think Danny Rohl can build a team to dominate this league gee him the cash and get rid of the deadwood think we can go on a good run winning trophies and leagues Celtic are done they need a clearout time to capatilise😁😁🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧.

08 Jan 2026 19:56:55
With our record on longer term injuries we probably need at least 5 in. And as many out ideally.

08 Jan 2026 19:58:44
My Star, that's why I wanted a RB in. We can't rely on Sterling's fitness.
I'd seriously consider moving him on in the summer.
At least we have time to bring someone in this window.
I don't rate Aaron's or Tav at RB.

08 Jan 2026 20:02:14
Both will be huge misses, DR has his work cut out now.

08 Jan 2026 20:33:45
As much as I don't rate Aarons I reckon he will probably play more than Tav over the second half of the season. Tav is done been a great servant who we have needed to replace for some time, the fact Sterling is out AGAIN wed be as well going now to replace tav rather than wait until the summer suppose that would be if there is a player available who ticks the boxes.

08 Jan 2026 20:48:12
After a lengthy time out it's not unusual to pick up muscle injuries. Sterling was being managed for this reason and hopefully it's not a tear and just a tweak.

08 Jan 2026 21:30:36
Tav got the voodoo doll out again typical.

08 Jan 2026 21:54:25
I love Sterling, give the lad a break, he is a cracking player, it's common after a bad injury to get a strain, he needed less game time. But he is a top player, give him backing instead of hate.

08 Jan 2026 23:04:14
Dcdel i back my granny but shes still ****ed. 😁 seriously, love Sterling as a player but he's the same as roofe was and we should be looking at a RB now. Aarons and tav at rb will haunt us eventually.

08 Jan 2026 23:19:11
I like Sterling wish he could stay fit ,but I swear he can't go six matches without getting an injury. wasted wages.

09 Jan 2026 09:09:49
Sterling doesn't get injured in a car crash but gets injured playing 20mins of football. good player but need to get rid of him asap.

09 Jan 2026 14:23:08
Xavier Muyamba can play RB as well as CB, OOC in 6 months, valued at 1 mill currently and a big strong pacey lad.

AI Overview

Xavier Mbuyamba is a tall, physically imposing Dutch center-back known for his aerial dominance, strength, and calm ball-playing ability, often compared to Virgil van Dijk due to his elegant style, long legs, recovery pace, and composure in possession, though he's still developing concentration and tactical awareness in high-pressure situations. He excels at winning tackles, reading the game, and bringing the ball out from defense to start attacks, possessing good long passing and vision for his size.

Key Strengths:

Physical Presence: Tall (6'4) and strong, making him dominant in aerial duels.

Composure and Technique: Calm and elegant on the ball, comfortable dribbling and passing, avoiding panicked clearances.

Ball-Playing Defender: Offers as a passing option, steps into midfield, and excels at bringing the ball out.

Defensive Acumen: Good reading of the game, effective one-on-one defending, and recovery pace to cover.

Versatility: Can play center-back or right-back.

08 Jan 2026 15:27:38
Looks like that's three signings done
One ooc. Two for significant money

Appears we r using loppers book on the three players.

08 Jan 2026 15:52:55
I just seen commensurate bid accepted and the boy from storm graz accepted, who's the ooc John? Watson possibly.

08 Jan 2026 16:00:54
Great news John, but what is loopers book? 🫡.

08 Jan 2026 16:01:01
Thanks John. Is the OOC player Xavier Mbuyamba by any chance?

08 Jan 2026 16:02:16
Davie I would like it being Watson, Raskin and Diomande with be off in the summer mate.

08 Jan 2026 16:04:55
Is that Koppen you mean John?

Pleased to see we are hopefully getting these two players in Jan, seem promising players to add.

They should improve the squad, provide cover and good players to have for going forward with potential but do they improve the first team? Meghoma has been good at LB and CM we have been strong.

08 Jan 2026 16:05:27
Davie won't say, it's for his club to announce as he still has six months on deal, I suspect we will try to bring him in late in window.

We want another two signed outwith the two named.

08 Jan 2026 16:10:50
Think it's Mbuyamba Davie.

08 Jan 2026 16:13:55
Mbuyamba is the CB.

08 Jan 2026 16:15:01
Ryan Kent has just become a free agent.

08 Jan 2026 16:18:51
Loppers book.

08 Jan 2026 16:27:23
Makes me question why we ever let Koppen go if we're back using his book of talent.

08 Jan 2026 16:30:15
Florida, Koppen book.

08 Jan 2026 16:31:50
Any idea when these will be announced John?

08 Jan 2026 16:33:11
Good to hear. Ideally another CB and Attacking Midfielder/Playmaker would be grand 🫡.

08 Jan 2026 16:33:37
I'm hoping the OOC is Xavier Mbuyamba, I think he looks a real prospect. IF not would be happy with Watson as likewise. Given we had Dowell and MAtondo on the bench for the Aberdeen game I think it's clear we need bodies in, and it's important we get homegrown players in to supplement wider transfers.

As ever, the hard bit will be moving on those who are taking a wage but not contributing at the present. While Rothwell seems to be wanted, what about MAtondo, Dowell, Rice, Davies, Cifuentes, Cortes, King, McCausland (appreciate some are already out on loan)?

08 Jan 2026 16:38:39
Laudrup1975 why would anyone want Ryan Kent? man couldn't get a game in Turkey and not wanted in the mls.

08 Jan 2026 16:41:47
Ryan Kent can stay a free agent who wants player back that stole a wage for 2 year and last act on a football pitch was to set up a celik goal. There is a reason he free yet again the boy is lazy and abused the gift he was given.

08 Jan 2026 16:44:14
I'd like to see Koppen back.

08 Jan 2026 16:56:30
Always said Koppen was a mistake.

08 Jan 2026 16:59:11
a free Ryan Kent on a small wage. why not?
could do a job and maybe he realises how good he had it at Rangers.

08 Jan 2026 17:02:20
Think Mbuyamba will be signed this window, hopefully Watson pre-contract and arrives in the summer.

08 Jan 2026 17:14:36
Ryan Kent did not steal a wage.

08 Jan 2026 17:24:39
I couldn't wait for Kent to leave.
I don't want him back.

08 Jan 2026 17:31:14
Ryan Kent has not kicked his arse since he left us but he's far from lazy. Outwith that last season he always ran his heart out. Very unfair comment imo.

08 Jan 2026 17:26:47
I believe there will be a couple definitely going out when the incomings confirmed for sure. It would be silly to let them go before when there having to fill our bench.

08 Jan 2026 17:39:58
Just to clarify, Koppens Book isn't a little black book of players that Koppen himself has identified.

It's the list of players identified and profiled by the recruitment team using Koppens methods and the connections he put in place whilst at the club.

08 Jan 2026 17:33:25
I thought we were branching out John.

08 Jan 2026 17:51:39
John is the OOC player Scottish based?

08 Jan 2026 17:58:35
Ehl I disagree. This is a list that Koppen and clement put together, that's where we got igamane and jefte from, followed up with Nsiala.

We looked at the lad playing in Austria before he went there and the ch, when clement was there.

08 Jan 2026 18:17:39
Im thinking Hilgers is the CB and OOC player. i'm sure we looked at this lad when koppen and Clement were here and if my info is correct he is OOC June 2026. Feel free to correct me if i'm Wrong.

08 Jan 2026 18:27:14
Cmac he just signed another contract at Hearts.

08 Jan 2026 18:33:33
Camacho yes u r correct clement did show interest.

08 Jan 2026 18:51:03
Feel free to disagree John.

Igamane, Jefte and Nsiala were all identified using the processes and connections that Koppen put in the place.

The same processes and connections that the current recruitment team are using.

The active of list of players at various stage of profiling and scouting on this list is in the hundreds - of the 5 players we are close to finalising, only 1 was brought to the table directly by Koppen.

08 Jan 2026 18:53:23
No problem John, fully understand, good to see we're really active now, once the ooc signed maybe it will be accelerated for a small fee, read earlier 1 of the signings flying in soon and the other just waiting on the green light, presuming that's to do with were not in the eu anymore and need permision.

08 Jan 2026 19:02:22
Ehl respect your view.

08 Jan 2026 19:03:17
David sky stating the Belgium lad is undergoing medical tonight.

08 Jan 2026 19:27:39
Given ehl worked at the club and knows those involved i'd take it he knows more than most on the transfers. So koppen had a wee book with players only he knew of? Unlikely.

08 Jan 2026 20:24:11
Great post Walter so u r saying I'm posting shi

As head off recruitment koppen knew our targets. Mb it was a computer file or written list.

Do u think a former board member might no stuff

I will keep my views re transfers to my what's app group in future.

Ps how do u know if someone anonyworks somewhere.

08 Jan 2026 21:00:41
Jesus John, you must go through about 100 dummies every transfer window.

08 Jan 2026 22:04:07
actually I think you are both right here possibly. Koppen has a process to identify talent we should be looking at. he used that process before to identify the guys we are signing this window but who we didn't sign when they were initially identified.

so those payers are on a list and not new to us.
that makes sense to me because if it is an actual list Koppen left then it is finite and we need to develop a different scouting model.

08 Jan 2026 22:29:08
Ehl yes I do. But I will not have an attack like that.
My info was accurate.

Good understanding Angus. Many times it's been stated we can follow players from a few years before we make a move if at all.

08 Jan 2026 22:43:15
John, could you add me into that WhatsApp group if you don't mind.
I don't mind if Koppen had a book or an excel spreadsheet.

08 Jan 2026 22:57:26
True bluebgiven most r anonymous u may be on WhatsApp list.

08 Jan 2026 23:57:53
How can I get on your WhatsApp group John? I always look for your input :)

09 Jan 2026 09:52:00
Deary me - an attack? Seriously?

Ed, can you add a cuddle button next to the thumbs up?

08 Jan 2026 14:12:16
Andy Newport on Twitter:

"🚨EXCLUSIVE🚨

✈️Tuur Rommens is on his way to Rangers after Westerlo accepted a 3.5millions euros offer

📝 Belgian Under-21 left back now set to undergo a medical with a final agreement expected".

08 Jan 2026 15:59:16
Excellent.

08 Jan 2026 16:00:16
No seen the boy play but he looks sturdy. A mix a barasic n sasa would be nice.

08 Jan 2026 19:41:23
France, aye mate, would as half look good.

08 Jan 2026 13:54:09
Rommens on a flight to Scotland to complete medical and contract signing according to DR.

08 Jan 2026 13:51:17
First time poster, long time reader. DR reporting Westerlo have accepted a £3.5m bid for Tuur Rommens. On his way to Glasgow. Looks the business in defence, and provides quality service into the box.

08 Jan 2026 15:40:14
Welcome aboard bud, nvr seen him play but looks decent from the clips (i know lol)

08 Jan 2026 16:42:57
I wonder if that'll step up a push for David Watson this window or lyall Cameron being given more game time.

08 Jan 2026 22:09:44
Watson looking for game time importantly and Aberdeen seems to be his preferred destination currently. This might obviously change but don't think he will end up here. Lot of Killie fans been disappointed with him this season too.

08 Jan 2026 13:49:53
Connor Barron looking at 8-12 weeks out minimum.

08 Jan 2026 16:02:00
That's an anti climax. Aww well hopefully he comes back producing the same form. Wee man has been excellent recently.

08 Jan 2026 17:08:45
SW2 That's really disappointing. What was the extent of the injury? You could see in his face that something wasn't right.

08 Jan 2026 18:04:32
Also chat that Sterling is out with a hamstring injury.

08 Jan 2026 13:43:27
3.5m bid accepted by Westerlo for the left back he's expected to be joined by Chukwuani in a 7.5/8m double deal.

08 Jan 2026 15:13:37
🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧.

08 Jan 2026 15:25:14
Lb is just short of 6ft 1, cm just short of 6ft 2.

08 Jan 2026 15:26:14
need to sell some of the driftwood.

08 Jan 2026 15:32:31
Tuur Romens our new 1st choice LB, should tighten up our defence on the left side with big Fernandez right next to him, and add to our attack, now Raskin has a new native speaking 1st team mate.

08 Jan 2026 16:03:42
At last mystar a bit of height in midfield n on the wingback. Been missing that for a while now. Positive positive.

08 Jan 2026 19:45:37
Laudrup, that's good news, Nico will help him settle into life in Scotland and help him settle into being a Rangers player.

08 Jan 2026 13:32:38
Rumours Barron out for a min of 8 weeks and his knee is in a brace. he's 1 who's became important and he'll be missed if this is true.

08 Jan 2026 15:18:24
Time for Raskin and dio to up there game then.

08 Jan 2026 15:38:56
Nae biggie, he can take his tie recovering fully, unjuries are part of the game.

Chukwuani can take his spot.

08 Jan 2026 16:04:24
Exactly Laudrup. Strength in depth is the name of the game.

08 Jan 2026 17:35:48
Nae Biggie? Bit of a cavalier approach to one of our most consistent players this year, actually been a big part in most recent good results, I'm gutted the wee man is potentially injured for one game far less 3 + months possibly, big miss for us at the minute a real big miss, boys not even signed yet Apparently taking his slot?
