Rangers FC Rumours

24 Nov 2025 15:52:14
Does anyone know if Thelwell's son has been shown the door as well? @John.

24 Nov 2025 16:01:28
He has not, at this moment he is still an employee.

24 Nov 2025 16:02:29
Baxter not yet. Purdy needs to be next.

24 Nov 2025 16:14:28
No he hasn't.

24 Nov 2025 16:29:17
So far I've read that him and Purdy won't be sacked.

24 Nov 2025 16:31:49
100% John. Purdy and Thelwell Jr away and they need to look at the upcoming appointment of our head of academy in January.

Anyone with previous ties to Thelwell should be booted. Get Koppen back.

24 Nov 2025 16:32:38
It is interesting how many people want him gone. He only arrived last month and has had no part in the disastrous recruitment that took place with Purdy and Kevin Thelwell.
Is he to be sacked simply because of who his father is. Seems a bit of a witch hunt. Happy that Thelwwll senior and Stewart are away.

24 Nov 2025 16:37:46
Would we take Koppen back if Purdy goes?

24 Nov 2025 16:44:28
I think it will be a cause of get the New CEO in the door and then he will create a structure for what Director he needs and also what current staff need to go. Its a shame this was not done earlier as we missed out on a great man for one of the Roles in Davie Weir.

24 Nov 2025 16:58:08
I'd imagine there's quite a few sweating.
We need more sackings.

24 Nov 2025 17:28:09
Jfm, for me it's how the recruitment process was handled.

24 Nov 2025 17:29:08
Bro I would Weir not have needed to want the job.

24 Nov 2025 17:48:04
We spend more money and negative energy on back room staff and directors etc at our club, shocking!
Would hate to know how much money all this restructuring costs us each year! Payoffs and severance fees.
Should be more money spent on the squad than the suits! Worlds upside down!

24 Nov 2025 17:59:04
Mark why more sacking we need to get the right people in the building then stability or we're done for. Got to say I think there's more to this than meets the eye.

24 Nov 2025 18:08:38
Nils koppen would be offers to be a part of the new k set up if it was upto me. Is ask him his ideal position and title and give him that. Let him run the football dept.

24 Nov 2025 18:09:22
Yes from me Bee82 but can't see him stepping back to help us out.

24 Nov 2025 18:10:38
Koppen has started a new job in the last few weeks. can't remember who, a Swedish team maybe? Something like that. So unlikely he'll be returning. Davie Weir?

24 Nov 2025 18:23:17
Good move from Daddy Thelwell bringing in his son
2 pay offs for the family inheritance!

😡.

24 Nov 2025 18:38:17
Bee - would Koppen want to come back?

Anyway, he's just joined Copenhagen.

Thought the guy did a v. good job in difficult circumstances.

24 Nov 2025 18:40:19
Does anyone really think he got the job fairly.

24 Nov 2025 18:51:03
From what i got in the Cavenagh interview, everyone has the chance to prove their worth in their jobs so, that tells me that neither Thelwell jr or Purdy will be sacked unless they do something that would merit them getting sacked.

24 Nov 2025 19:20:33
We shouldn't assume everyone appointed by Thelwell is useless just because he appointed them. They will all stay until the new guys takeover and then what will be will be. The new Head of the Academy hasn't started yet and can't be blamed for anything except wanting to work for Rangers and even Thelwells boy had nothing to do with the disastrous recruitment.

To be honest even Thelwell and Purdy can only be partly blamed as a lot of the players were wanted by our manager at the time.
Glad they are both gone but no need for a night of the long knives just yet.

24 Nov 2025 19:48:59
The last thing we need is more upheaval just as DR getting results.

24 Nov 2025 19:59:48
Mac it was Purdy who brought Chermiti to Rangers, Thelwell then signed off on it.

24 Nov 2025 20:09:54
Wsl my issue is there was no shortlist for many posts unless u can name anyone who was interviewed.

24 Nov 2025 20:35:25
Wls look at the state of Thelwell jrs summer business at Norwich before he left. There's no way him and purdy are going to be leading recruitment in January if they have sacked Thelwell.

24 Nov 2025 20:47:39
That's a sackable offence right there and then John.

24 Nov 2025 21:50:57
Well it won't be koppen then.

And what people are saying here then is … Stewart and Thelwell were saying right we need this job filled and giving it to someone without doing interviews etc?

While I'm against those 2 I can't say I'm against that type of way of working.

If u give someone the job, ie Stewart ie Thelwell then they are entitled to run it the way they choose.

If they think giving the job to someone they know and feel will help good at it then Thata uo to then.

The problem lies with giving them the job, the reins and the keys in the first place.

If u want someone to run it via interview panels and so on then pick someone that will work that way.

24 Nov 2025 21:51:17
I don't think there's any basis to terminate Thelwell junior's contract at present, would possibly be opening ourselves up to unfair dismissal?

Would imagine there will be certain metrics/targets that Stewart and Thelwell have fallen demonstrably short of so there is justification to sack them?

24 Nov 2025 21:55:17
Dado, there gone, it's not fault of people employed imo.

24 Nov 2025 22:14:49
John 2575, I can't as I don't pretend that I'm in the know, I'm just a fan looking in from the outside like most. I can comment on players because I can see what they do in front of my own eyes but not staff. We don't just bin every player that were signed by a manager that we sack. Raskin was signed by Beale who has only just been beaten out of the two worst managers we've ever had by Martin. I've worked for a good few bad bosses but they occasionally hire good people so everybody deserves to be judged on their merits.


As for Thelwells boy, he wasn't in charge of recruitment at Norwich so he may not be qualified for the job he has with us now but its certainly not because of that. Personally I have no idea what the recruitment process was in the summer and whose idea it was to sign who. I have heard that most signings were at Martins request so others may have been guilty of making these moves happen. Not saying some shouldn't be binned but just that we shouldn't assume everybody brought in is useless. Currently its guilt by association.

24 Nov 2025 22:31:08
Will, Thelwell jnr is just in the door. We can get rid easily if we want to.

25 Nov 2025 01:04:15
Id assume unfair dismissal would be non existent due to the payoff they'd get?

25 Nov 2025 05:11:57
We had plenty time to go back in for Koppen, he was available for months after we stupidly released him,
Stewart and Thelwell should have been sacked earlier, Koppens joined Danish Champions League club FC Copenhagen now as head of 1st team scouting and recruitment, given his track record of spotting and signing quality young raw talents that sell for good money, he is an excellent appointment for an ammbitious club like FC Copenhagen, who will benefit greatly from his recruitment and scouting knowledge and contacts, without spending too much for new young players, could have been us but we shut that down just as his signings were increasing in talent and value and will never know how much he would have benefited us given a few more years, just look at how average PSV were when he joined, now they are top quality side as Koppen was given time there as he was with Genk.


Good luck to Nils he deserves a club that both want him and believe in his abilities to bring in quality talent and build a skillful side while scooping big money from his reccomendations, he is one of top talent scouts in Europe for a reason, he is very good at his job.

25 Nov 2025 05:37:24
I think Seeker under employment law that his contract can be terminated without reason within the first 3 months but notice period would need to be given. Maybe he's working that notice.
I think he's getting it tight because of his father but I don't belive he's qualified to do the job he was given.
Horrible position to be in.

25 Nov 2025 13:56:01
Jfm09… you know the old saying about the apple eh.

25 Nov 2025 14:22:27
Yes I believe that's correct jfm 👍.

25 Nov 2025 17:00:00
Camoo I'd say Unfair appointment (Nepotism) in the recruitment of Thewell Jnr by Purdy, his dad's mate. You're not trying to tell me there's not better and more experienced options out there than the inexperienced 27 years old old son of the Director of Football? Have a look at his summer recruitment at Norwich.

It's as bad if not worse than his dads, as is Norwich's league position.

24 Nov 2025 12:07:12
Thelwell and Stewart both gone, Thornton acting ceo until replacements found.

24 Nov 2025 12:48:51
About time, great to see the owners taking decisive action to sort out issues which have been building for some time now.

24 Nov 2025 13:10:42
What we now need is an investigation into Director of footballs transfers 👍.

24 Nov 2025 14:18:59
We started the season full of hope.
These 2 boys have been a huge disappointment.
Its a relief to see them away.
Good luck to young Danny.

24 Nov 2025 13:24:16
excellent news and the next appointments need to be the right fit with the right background and experience.

24 Nov 2025 14:44:05
Bobby, why do we need a second investigation.

24 Nov 2025 15:02:18
John, agreed.
We need to close the book and Stewart /Thelwell and simply move on. Errors have been made, action taken and seems to me we should now be looking onwards and upwards. So long as lessons are learned I say let any further action rest.

24 Nov 2025 15:13:09
Just got to hope Thelwell comes in for Chermiti, in his next job!

24 Nov 2025 15:20:21
It's maybe just my bad mind, but has there have been some underhand business been conducted by Thewell? Maybe there has already been and that's the real reason for his summary dismissal? nothing to do with alignment of values.

24 Nov 2025 15:38:53
Really positive news. I wonder if this was expedited by Danny's 'traffic light report' where majority of summer signings sitting at Red or Amber putting the nail in the coffin?

24 Nov 2025 15:45:24
Said day one there was something not right with Thelwell.

For a director of football to come to a club without a dossier of potential signings when recruitment is what you will be judged on said it all.

Prooved correct but hurts that its set us back so much however this is a good day for the clubs future and don't think its any surprise it was done before transfer window

We just need to make sure and get right man now.

Id maybe put someone with Rangers results on pitch as their main goal as an overseer of what next director of football does someone with a football backround.

24 Nov 2025 15:45:59
Wonder if we will now get truth on Chermiti deal and other appointments at club.

24 Nov 2025 15:38:26
Leeds fans now hoping that mess gets sorted too, I know a few and they are far from happy. that's normal really but they seem even worse the now.

24 Nov 2025 15:58:49
Cause he squandered 10 mill to his mates at Everton? on a complete no hoper John

Deal screams aof shadiness
Lots a folks calling Thelwell out for it
Stuart let it happen

Both thought they would get away with it as Owners in America?

24 Nov 2025 16:03:39
Bobby need to be cautious re these type of posts pal.

24 Nov 2025 16:17:27
Blue u totally miss the point. Cavanagh instigated an investigation into the role of both this has resulted in both being SACKED.

There is no point in another investigation, what would u do sack them again.

24 Nov 2025 18:16:41
Bluedreamer, But you don't play at every level for Portugal if you're a no hoper, rated highly by many that knows better than us, his only problem was the fee we paid and that shouldn't be his problem.

24 Nov 2025 18:43:30
John if that's the inside info and accurate then fair but if other posters don't know that how can they know what the pair have been sacked for.

You need to be a little fairer on posters

Just because you have inside info shouldn't mean you put posters down.

24 Nov 2025 19:23:47
Don't you think Cavenagh and co have already done an investigation before making these decisions and if there was anything underhand, as is being implied, they would have done something about it. After all its his money.

24 Nov 2025 19:25:08
Bobby was asking questions not making statements.

24 Nov 2025 20:02:40
Forevever I've written several times about the investigation and who was actually interviewed for the jobs, never ever put any one down

Going back on today's posts alone I've said it six times.

24 Nov 2025 21:08:45
Thelwell's transfer dealings at Rangers have been shocking. Paying 10million for a player who hadn't scored in 2 and a half years and bringing in friends and family to important roles. Not to mention being responsible for our worst ever manager.

Patrick Stewart, brought in from the basket case club that is Man United. Done nothing for our club but hang loyal supporters out to dry. Backed Clement after Queen's Park, Backed Martin to the hill an absolute disaster of an appointment. I am glad my club is rid of them 🫡.

25 Nov 2025 10:40:45
Mystar,

He's a no. hoper. Everton no goals - thelwell signing 8 mill. Rangers - 1 goal £10 mill. To me that's a no hoper, so he's played with Portugal, no help to us. Certainly no reason to waste 10 mill.

Yes both sacked, John, But there has to be an investigation into:
1. wages they inflated for themselves?

2. money squandered to other team on over inflated player?

Yes they have been sacked at Rangers
But if any wrongdoing money wise, John. That's a totally different investigation.

25 Nov 2025 12:39:48
Florida Bear, just wish Stewart had the guts to stick with his backing of Clement, we wouldn't be in the mess we are now. We gained nothing during Ferguson's tenure and if Clement had been given the backing Martin got, I'm pretty sure we would have been challenging at the top of the league and have 9 points in the bag in Europa League.

We threw him under the bus at the start of the season then talked about continuity and sacked him months later.

25 Nov 2025 14:10:32
Blue, that is the investigation that was just completed.

24 Nov 2025 11:20:32
Thelwell and Stewart to be dissmissed. today, announcment at 12 noon.

24 Nov 2025 12:40:13
Its done.

24 Nov 2025 12:41:52
I saw that about bloody time 😁.

24 Nov 2025 12:50:31
Best news iv had all season n9w we must get this next appointment right.

24 Nov 2025 13:37:15
That came out of no where for me as much as I didn't like them in the role i'd have thought they would have got the rest of the season.

24 Nov 2025 15:01:08
Get Davie Weir.

24 Nov 2025 15:47:03
Glad its done but for cavenaugh to continue to allow them to hire staff for so long does not bode well for him either.

24 Nov 2025 18:44:10
And would he have not needed to sign off on deals like Chermiti.

24 Nov 2025 20:07:05
Forever simple answer no. The structure as explained by him and Stewart

Recruitment i'd players, Thelwell negotiated fee and salary, Stewart pays from the allocated budget

The owners stated they did not wish to micromanage executive people, I think that needs to change, but does Cavanagh have the knowledge

Imo we should have a ceiling on player cost, certainly lower than 8 million.

24 Nov 2025 21:00:02
I wouldn't mind paying 8 million for a player that was worth it and delivered for us.
How or why we paid that amount for Chermiti is ridiculous.
A striker that hadn't scored in 28 months prior to joining us just doesn't make sense.
Strange they both got the boot with immediate effect.
I'm impressed with the Americans lately.

25 Nov 2025 05:21:40
Chermiti was out with long term injuries during the no score period, plus his injury rehab, see Danilo, was scoring for fun in Brazil, at Ajax and Feyenoord before coming to us, not so much now since his long term injuries and rehab, still the best CF we have right now, he's scored more than the Miovski and Chermiti combined.


None of our current CFs are Rangers quality on current form and a fit in form Morelos, Dessers, Igamane could outscore all of the current 3 combined and barely break a sweat doing so.
We don't keep proven strikers we release or sell them then squander millions buying multiple duds to
Replace them lol.

23 Nov 2025 15:43:27
I see we're allegedly interested in hearts left back harry milne 🤔We should have signed james penrice from hearts before they eventually sold him to the greek club 🤔.

23 Nov 2025 15:50:11
Walter it's been said a few times now that Penrice didn't want to stay in Scotland.

23 Nov 2025 15:55:50
Walter smith, looks like another season hanging in there, Tav extended deal, Milne god help usb.

23 Nov 2025 16:19:52
I can't see it. he's 29.

23 Nov 2025 16:39:07
I think the Aberdeen ch is a very good defender.

23 Nov 2025 16:49:20
Were Did you see it mate a can't find it on line.

23 Nov 2025 17:25:55
We are not interested in a 29 year old playing his first season in the SPFL after playing the rest of his career in the lower leagues.

23 Nov 2025 22:42:18
Just need 4 competent defenders at the back, like I've said a million times to get 3 points you need to score goals, too much is made of defense. Attack, aggression, fitness and quality costs money though.

24 Nov 2025 07:21:51
"should have signed" if only it was that easy.

24 Nov 2025 08:34:40
Have to disagree TJB we will win nothing shipping silly goals. As much as I agree goals win games and fit aggressive play is what we need, you build from the back a solid core to the side. We lose goals that would embarrass Sunday league teams.

24 Nov 2025 11:57:15
John which centre half u referring to mate.

24 Nov 2025 12:42:20
Stevie, Jack Milne we r closely watching him.

24 Nov 2025 13:27:38
John cheers mate I'll try have a look at him.

24 Nov 2025 13:28:33
Is it perhaps a case of people mixing up the surname here?

Thinking we're after hearts left back and it's actually a younger Aberdeen player eith the same name.

24 Nov 2025 13:32:02
Sure it's not Jack Milne of Aberdeen?

24 Nov 2025 15:48:33
Don't think so Walter very clear he had heard it's the heats lad.

22 Nov 2025 23:42:54
John was the ex player that the board have said no in any uncertain terms to Defoe mate?

23 Nov 2025 07:11:26
Stevie no. But was nor in equation.

23 Nov 2025 11:19:05
Stevie was not in the equation.

23 Nov 2025 11:46:29
Cheers again John. Popped into ma head last night for some reason lol.

23 Nov 2025 12:29:32
Stevie I won't name him.

23 Nov 2025 16:50:24
Hi John is it can't or wont.

23 Nov 2025 17:15:03
More can't than won't. Would be inappropriate to do so.

23 Nov 2025 17:46:21
Fair enough mate. U will have your reasons. It just came into ma head Defoe made sense. Obviously not.

23 Nov 2025 17:48:09
Cheers mate 👍.

23 Nov 2025 20:52:00
I have Peter lovernkrands in my head for that position.

23 Nov 2025 22:02:52
Boggles I think that would be a good appointment.

24 Nov 2025 01:27:37
Yeah a also like lovenkramds as a coach it's a good shout.

24 Nov 2025 11:58:38
Boggles 😂 sorry. Made me giggle.

22 Nov 2025 21:00:16
I know some of our trusted lieutenants on here had touched on this last week, regarding our club captain james Tavernier being offered a new 2 year deal to stay at Rangers beyond this season 🤔I heard at Ibrox today that he has already been in talks to stay beyond this season and a 2 year deal is the offer 🤔So very much looks like tav going nowhere and staying with Rangers after his 11th season at Rangers already 🤔.

22 Nov 2025 21:10:25
No a problem. with that but we need to bring in a Right Back that's as Robust and up to the job if taking his place. End of the day it s not James Tavaniers fault countless managers have failed to Address Having a back up to Replace James Tavanier.

22 Nov 2025 21:14:30
No he hasn't mate.

22 Nov 2025 21:46:51
Wouldnt have liked this before but recruitment has been so bad i now jave no problem with it less players Thelwell recruit the better.

22 Nov 2025 21:39:12
Slip nearly cost us again today. He needs replaced. he's 34 and his attacking threat is waning.

22 Nov 2025 22:11:54
And therin lies our problem we cannot replace an aging fullback who best days are behind him. Our club will never move on making this kind of decision and recruitment in genersl has held us back fir years. Deary me tsv another 2 years.

22 Nov 2025 22:17:44
He needs to go.
No room for sentiment.

22 Nov 2025 22:40:29
I heard weeks ago he was going to be offered one more year and that's barely acceptable, but this doesn't mean it very much looks like he has agreed to anything, or indeed that offer has actually been made.

22 Nov 2025 22:55:59
Lot of negativity for the guy who had an assist for the first goal and played the through ball for the second.

23 Nov 2025 00:12:40
Its not sentiment when he's our best player week in week out. He makes one slip and you all moan yet we have midfielders who can't pass 5 yards, wingers who can't beat a man consistently and strikers who can't score. Tav is not the issue i wish for the day when i can say he's the worst player in the starting 11.

23 Nov 2025 06:35:56
Ok Thornton, you'll be correct and everyone else is wrong pal 🤔We all have different info and that's why we post on here 🤔You or i or anyone don't know anything 100% 🤔.

23 Nov 2025 08:07:27
I hope this is utter bs as he should have been away 2 seasons ago.

23 Nov 2025 08:29:31
64% out of 258 voted on here not to offer a new deal, wonder how many of them are right.

23 Nov 2025 09:02:04
CAPTAIN LEADER LEGEND
JAMES TAVENIER.

23 Nov 2025 09:06:22
Walter how is Thornton wrong posting he heard a one year deal,

23 Nov 2025 09:25:09
God help us.

23 Nov 2025 09:31:17
He needs to go been by his sell by date for a few years, we need better.

23 Nov 2025 11:19:06
SWS how are your sources correct and Thorntons wrong? Genuine question.

23 Nov 2025 12:15:16
Obviously Thornton is not one of his trusted lieutenants.

23 Nov 2025 12:29:14
One thing Tav can never be called is a leader one of the weakest captains we have ever had.

23 Nov 2025 13:39:09
Tavs slip DID nearly cost us today but his corner created the first goal and his well judged clipped pass over the defence set up the winner. He also put over a great ball that Miovski headed over Maybe he should be playing in midfield or up front, nobody else is creating chances like he does and that would keep him out of the defence.

23 Nov 2025 15:47:34
Trusted lieutenants. You or I don't know anything 100%.

Brilliant SWS. 😂😂😂.

23 Nov 2025 16:41:51
Don't know anything for definite Foolmonty, read the room pal 😲.

23 Nov 2025 16:53:45
Read the room think you should read mate you the one that started on a other post because it was different from what u heard.

23 Nov 2025 18:08:12
Cal nobody said he's the worst player but doesn't change the fact he is getting on a bit and we need to move on.

23 Nov 2025 20:14:54
When one guy doesn't learn, nightmare after nightmare after nightmare.

23 Nov 2025 21:10:23
I read plenty on this forum SWS.

I'm only quoting what you said in an earlier post pal which, tbh with you, was a load of nonsense as usual.

24 Nov 2025 06:44:51
Bigdado my point is people are saying sentimental contract extension.

Yes he's getting on. Yes he's lost pace. But without his impact we'd be lucky to have 10 points. He's week in week out our best or second best player on the park offensively.

Created more chances than Raskin/Baron/Dio combined.

Created more chances than Gassama/Antman/Moore combined.

If I could watch a game and say we could have won that without Tav then I'd be happy but the fact is that happens in 10% of our matches.

24 Nov 2025 12:01:41
CalB that's some great stats re the chances he has created. Throw in the few goals he has too.

Honest to god see the ones who are against Tav ots just became a habit for them now, they're not coming at it from a thoughtful process atall. The facts are they're for all to see.

Can I also add he's probably been our best defender this season as well.

21 Nov 2025 23:58:20
Serious interest in Connor Barron from two Italian clubs.
We also have an interest in Cheikh Niasse.

22 Nov 2025 01:36:54
What's the names of the clubs mate?

22 Nov 2025 08:28:12
There was interest from Bologna in the summer, maybe their back in.

22 Nov 2025 09:05:04
Bologna definitely back in fork.

22 Nov 2025 10:07:20
Cheers John👍.

It's not just Baron that the Italians are interested in - we are facing a bit of a battle to hold on to a few of our brighter prospects from the academy.

22 Nov 2025 10:15:28
Big mistake selling Barron. He's a cracking wee player. he'd Excell in Italy.

Niasse the ex Everton player?

Didn't rate him.

22 Nov 2025 10:44:43
If the price was right and we could use the money to try and fix Thelwell mess from the summer than it might not be a bad option.

22 Nov 2025 11:15:21
So sell scottish trained player buy a senegal international what's going to happen to European squad if we lose another domestic trained player.

22 Nov 2025 11:51:12
Is there any interest in Chermissi ?

22 Nov 2025 12:07:12
Ehl, that's normal and has happened for years, Rangers also sign players from many academy, no one complains

Problem is till we create a decent pathway in Scotland players will always leave, look at mebube brothers Wilson Lovelace Steven's et al.

22 Nov 2025 12:08:49
Dado I reckon we may be able to get couple off million for him with addons and sell on.

22 Nov 2025 12:59:34
Stevie not that Niasse, he signed for everton alomst 10 years ago.

22 Nov 2025 13:01:46
I wouldn't classify the level of interest from Italy as normal John.

Due to the success of a number of players in recent seasons the Scottish League has become a priority market for the Italian league - this week alone there have been development scouts from 5 Italian clubs (that I know of) actively at Hearts alone - no doubt they would have been in conversation with Hibs, Celtic and ourselves also.

22 Nov 2025 13:04:07
Barron was getting rave reviews in the Italian press after the game v Roma. Wouldn't be surprised if they're one of the teams with an interest in him.

22 Nov 2025 13:16:47
My reference to normal, is your statement number of academy players r proving difficult to hold onto.

22 Nov 2025 13:18:19
Selling Barron for a couple of millions would just be daft imo.

22 Nov 2025 13:26:29
I understand why these boys might leave us for more glamorous clubs or leagues especially as the money will be more than we will be offering to turn pro but apart from Gilmour it generally is not a good career move. The Mebude bros. have done nothing since they left us, don't think Lovelace is playing first team football, Wilson seems highly regarded at Villa but never gets near the first team and I would bet money now that Stevens doesn't make it at Arsenal.

Its not a criticism of the boys but from a footballing point of view they would be better pushing to make it here first before they move on, if they are good enough.

22 Nov 2025 13:38:36
I wouldn't let Barton go. Would rather keep him for a few more seasons.

22 Nov 2025 13:39:01
Would suggest developing Barron, Cameron and Curtis whist selling Raskin. The model needs to be rotating and constant.

22 Nov 2025 13:46:48
Barron is a great player n warrior for us definitely a player we should be keeping.

22 Nov 2025 14:30:57
Rangers should hold onto Barron for at least another season, especially with Raskin likely to move on imo.

He's valued around £2.1–2.5m now, but a big year, World Cup exposure, and two years left on his deal could easily double that.
If Italy comes in with a serious bid later, selling makes sense until then he's more valuable filling that midfield gap and developing as part of Rangers' Scottish core, even though his style looks tailor‑made for Serie A.

22 Nov 2025 14:32:55
Baxter - Aye - I hear Largs Vics are sniffing around 🤔😁💰.

22 Nov 2025 14:56:53
He is as well being sold if he is not going to a regular starter. Once again only on the bench today.

22 Nov 2025 14:58:17
We will continue to hold on to any young players we produce as we don't give them game time and we have proven this season with one of our own that even when given a chance and you impress, this regime would rather develop other teams youngsters.

So we will continue to lose players a Thelwell was full of it when saying we needed to show these guys they have a chance here.

22 Nov 2025 15:20:44
Price for Barron would be £5m.

22 Nov 2025 16:59:30
He's never worth £5m.

22 Nov 2025 17:39:21
Selling Barron for 2 mil is daft he's far more useful to us than 2mil so if he's to go we should be looking for a lot more.

22 Nov 2025 18:18:36
Wsl, mebube struggling, Wilson had an operation and played last game in cl youth scored 3. He will play for Scotland the lad is 19, so give him a chance

Least Steven's went to a decent club

Lovelace has just returned to second team after being out since February with serious injury.

22 Nov 2025 18:35:38
Barron is not a great player he is a good honest pro that's about it. He can improve tho.

22 Nov 2025 18:38:12
Aye u think that now mate. Ferguson went for what we thought he wasn't worth. he's now worth £25-30m

Mctominay too. £100m possibly.


We don't want to sell him so it needs to be more than we think he's worth. £5m would be my number er.

22 Nov 2025 18:47:30
Your probably right John, I'm not sure he's worth selling at that price.

22 Nov 2025 18:48:28
Agreeed 100% Stevie.

22 Nov 2025 20:23:56
On current form i'd play Barron before Raskin and Diomande.

22 Nov 2025 20:44:45
Wilson will make it, such a natural finisher and I expect him to be at a bigger club than villa in time. Has potential to play lots of different roles as a 9.

22 Nov 2025 21:48:34
Barron should go nowhere assgaard or as I've been calling him assgaurd need to do hell of a lot more or he should be moved on pronto. can't see him making norway cut either.

22 Nov 2025 21:49:03
Curtis would have done more than Antman today.

23 Nov 2025 01:20:42
I wouldn't trust Thelwell with £1 in a sweetie shop the guys a total clown couldn't pick a decent bogie if he tried.

23 Nov 2025 09:26:29
Dado issue is the lad wants to leave due to lack of minutes, stays at Rangers i'd be surprised if he makes World Cup

His best chance if fifa go ahead and increase squad to 27/28:

23 Nov 2025 11:08:26
If we're serious about player trading then we would sell Raskin and make way room for Barron?

23 Nov 2025 11:23:13
Foreverroblem re Curtis is he does not put in the hard work away from the pitch on match day, imo another Lowry.

23 Nov 2025 11:55:44
A players ultimate dream is playing at a world cup, could be Barron last chance, but I wouldn't be selling him for a couple of million though, at least double it.

23 Nov 2025 11:57:00
We can't be getting rid of Scottish player anyway, unless the replacement is there.

24 Nov 2025 01:30:59
A swap loan til the summer for Barron with someone that suits us and is attractive not just a squad filler?

We can then discuss perm fees or swaps thereafter the World Cup.

This makes sense at least.

Barron gets what he wants we get something we need more than him.

He comes back in the summer or we make a bigger fee than we would now.

24 Nov 2025 12:05:28
Beale I agree we can't get rid of a good young Scottish player she's of being an international.

If it's the case yhe boy does want away simply to try make the squad, I'm not so sure Italy offers him that chance. It look Ferguson a while to crack on internationally

Barron would have to adjust to the league and lifestyle forst and Jan to may probably would t help him make the squad as much as staying here would I don't think.

Maybe a move to a hearts or a loan down south would do that for him. Not Italy.

20 Nov 2025 11:28:50

Talks between Kenzhebek’s camp and Glasgow Rangers started several days ago, although both sides remain some distance from reaching an agreement.

20 Nov 2025 11:47:45
I was talking about him the other day Copeland, he was very good against Belgium, lightning fast lw, he was skinning the rb easily, plenty tricks up his sleeve, 22 year old and read he's out of contact next month.

20 Nov 2025 13:31:09
A low risk punt like this is something we should be taking a chance on.

20 Nov 2025 16:16:45
Allegedly the stories linking us with kenzhebek are wide of the mark 🤔.

20 Nov 2025 17:13:37
Bet Raskin was very impressed with him, Scottw he'll will be on a minimum wage as well.

21 Nov 2025 01:54:07
As far as I can see, only the Daily Rhebel claims that reports are 'wide of the mark'.

21 Nov 2025 04:40:01
Probably read mystar (Beale) on here and tan with it.

21 Nov 2025 19:23:41
Stevie but I wasn't saying Rangers were interested, think it was someone talking about that game or similar, just mentioned he was very good mate.

22 Nov 2025 00:24:18
3 Free transfers in 12 months, odd wonder why?
has a good record in the Khazakstan league, which is a pretty corrupt league and way below our league level, Gassama is a much better LW, and i'd even say Curtis if given the chance would turn into a better home grown talent, we should be focusing on a natural RW, another position we have been lacking in for too long, only Cerny who we could not afford - nor did he want to stay at Rangers has stood out in recent years.
Cortes should have been given a full season as RW it's his best position as his pre Rangers form proves, lad was never a LW although he can cover there, he is a gifted RW and needed games, not punted out the minute we bought him, don't even think he is getting games where we loaned him out, and in my opinion has way more potential than Antman, who has a decent assist record, but not a consistent enough goal scorer, flaps to much when opposition defenders start closing him down, instead of using some ball trickery and cutting through to take the shot, he just shells up and gets easily dispossessed.

The most potent front 3 we own and should be playing right now
as 1st choice is

LW - Gassama
CF - Danilo
RW - Cortes

Those 3 have the speed and skills to hurt defences and score goals but we have not even tried that combination yet.

its the best option we have until the winter window opens and we.

22 Nov 2025 08:31:02
3 International goals in 10 games LH, you ever seen him play? clearly you must have.

22 Nov 2025 11:17:31
Lol newspapers definitely lazy and use posts from this site temember they ran with my elghazzi post that a friend had said to me.

22 Nov 2025 12:08:05
A low risk punt would have been shankland on a free lol

When has our club done sensible things.

22 Nov 2025 13:05:32
Oh u say best option we have available is gassame Danilo and Cortez. Play the till the window opens in winter

One flaw Cortez not at Rangers.

22 Nov 2025 19:05:08
Danilo will never be our number 1 either. I get the fans love him I do too but he's just not got it to be our number 9. we are struggling to get a striker on the park that gets into the space/channels to get shots away. today it was hit on the head we have no one.

22 Nov 2025 21:13:31
Danilo was one of our better players today.

23 Nov 2025 04:28:53
Of Course John2575, i'm well aware Cortes isn;t in our squad, why we loaned out a player that is perfectly suited to RW and a bigger goal threat Than Antman will ever be, makes no sense to me.
not like we are dominating the league with a RW who had 1 good game then melted away to nothing, while we paid 5 mill for a guy that has far more potential and then punted him oot first chance we go,
apparently to develop his skills, problem with that is he isn't being played much if at all where he went on loan, going to be a massive help to his confidence and form re discovery that loan, especially after his long term injury lay off.

24 Nov 2025 12:06:39
LH Cortez is crap. He's not better than Antman mate. That's as far fetched as I've heard.

His loan club have indicated they want to return him in January. That's how good he is.

20 Nov 2025 10:55:24
Rangers have had enquired about harry milne at hearts. Not sure this still the case now Rohls in. Anybody any info?

20 Nov 2025 11:02:09
Don't know much about him Paul, lb? big pity we never moved for lb James Penrice from Hearts.

20 Nov 2025 11:27:59
Left back or left of the 3 mate. Late bloomer really going by his career.

20 Nov 2025 11:49:19
Cheers Paul, EHL, what's your opinion on him mate?

20 Nov 2025 11:49:21
A good mate of mine is cousins with Harry and he hasn't heard anything yet. Although that could very well just be because it's just with the clubs at the minute. I personally really like him and so do a lot of hearts fans.
I'll update if I hear anything further.

20 Nov 2025 12:32:55
Like Penrice another one that we could have had for free only a year ago but we ignore him, let him join Hearts and now would have to pay out a couple of million if we want him.
We should be identifying these guys earlier as they are pretty low risk signings. I hope we don't make the same mistake with Watson.

20 Nov 2025 13:08:53
Can't see this being true at his age.

20 Nov 2025 14:55:54
Wsl it's the experience of playing week in week out at hearts, the slightly bigger than before crowds slightl bigger expectations and so on that help these type of lads progress.

If we signed them at the time hearts did they probably wouldn't be ready. That's how our own youngsters don't make it here.

20 Nov 2025 15:39:16
We won't be buying any one from hearts is they win the league they get £40million in champions league money I think they will strengthen in January if hearts win the league and get the £40 million it would make them a contender for the next 3/4 years.

20 Nov 2025 16:57:43
wsl, we can't identify and sign everyone early

this boy may not have shown any great signs earlier, there's hundreds slip by, how on earth should we have got him earlier, in that case so should Celtic, or everyone else for that matter, he plays fir hearts, what right do we have to take him earlier.

20 Nov 2025 17:17:55
MyStar, based on how negative our fanbase is towards Souttar, I hope this is just a rumour.

As Souttar is a couple of levels above Milne.

20 Nov 2025 17:18:37
Rfc, So you think Hearts would qualify for the Champions league? really can't see that mate, because it will be a few qualifiers and our last years Champions only had one and failed, but really don't believe Hearts will win the league anyway, still thinking we finish in front of Celtic it's ours.

20 Nov 2025 17:34:01
EHL, Cheers mate 👍.

20 Nov 2025 18:47:32
Tom Thumb we don't identify anybody early, these two guys didn't improve that much in a year at Hearts so either they were worth signing then or are not worth signing after one season at Hearts and in Penrices case a struggling Hearts. We've not had a decent left back since Borna was at his peak, so why didn't our scouting set up identify one of these guys as one we could develop.

We could have picked them up relatively cheaply and if it didn't work out then no harm done, where as now to sign them will cost is a bit of cash and there is still no guarantee that they will cope with being at Rangers. Seems a pretty brainless way to run a recruitment strategy to me.

20 Nov 2025 20:17:04
wsl he's having his first full season in the spfl and he's almost 30. He's having a good season yes but so are all of the hearts players.

It's also pretty common in all leagues around the world for teams to buy players for cheaper, perform well in the league and then the teams with more money pay more for them.

Why did lile sign igamane for 11 million when they could have just bought him for 1.5 million the year before?

20 Nov 2025 20:50:16
Wsl agree with penrice should've been signed.

20 Nov 2025 20:59:39
As far as I know we expressed an interest in Penrice and were told from the outset he had no interest in the move.

20 Nov 2025 21:00:51
Dont know much about him mystar tbh. This came from one of his good mates. Both Rangers and millwall been in contact apparently only passing on what i have been told. Rfc hearts won't win the league and if they do they will need to go through hard qualifiers. Only Rangers get direct entry this season for winni g league in Scotland.

20 Nov 2025 22:28:57
My star is it not automatic qualification and if they win the league they have proven they are better than Rangers and Celtic so yes I believe they have a chance.

20 Nov 2025 22:44:04
Ehl, any idea why? Was he perhaps set on Celtic and then it fell through?

20 Nov 2025 22:55:43
Rfc22, No mate, Celtic and Hearts a few qualifying games I'm sure.
Paul is it guaranteed now though? definitely the play off if we win it but think something can stop it from being guaranteed, read something not long ago, I'm maybe wrong and it wouldn't be like me with this kinda thing.

21 Nov 2025 07:58:42
Stevie, no idea I'm afraid.

I do know that for a while we've not been viewed as an attractive opportunity from within Scottish football.

However my guess would be that Penrice wanted to play outside of Scotland.

21 Nov 2025 09:50:21
Ehl u r correct penrice and Taylor wanted to play outside Scotland, we nor east end mob showed any interest.

21 Nov 2025 11:15:34
massive difference in Souttar to Milne, Souttar is a very decent defender who has had to play beside loan players who aren't very good imo, Souttar's game is suffering because of this. Djiga is a scary player, big John is a nervous wreck sometimes.

20 Nov 2025 20:29:30
and young footballers can improve vastly in a year. their entire physiology can change, everything in fact.

21 Nov 2025 13:24:26
Tav 123, you miss my point. I'm not saying we should sign Milne what I'm saying is that IF we are interested in signing him now why weren't we interested last January which is when Hearts signed him. So, when he was 28 he wasn't good enough but at 29 he is, just because he has played 6 months first team football for Hearts. That would indicate to me that he is having one good season rather than being somebody who we should be pursuing.


Your stating of how transfers work is true however I still say we should be prepared to spot players in our league before they move rather than getting them afterwards. We don't have money to waste and identifying guys like Penrice, Milne and Mulligan before they move to other Scottish clubs should be something we are doing, if they are good enough. Its called backing your judgement.

21 Nov 2025 14:10:19
Souttar isn't playing bad because of others he is playing bad because he isn't very good and never has been.

21 Nov 2025 19:34:20
Wsfgersforever, very well put sir.

22 Nov 2025 00:27:01
we are giing to need to buy about 5 or 6 decent defenders once the season ends and all the OOC and Loans end, we have 3 defenders left, Sterling, Nsiala, Fernandez and that is all.


3 guys that are not even getting a game, looks like a bigger mess is looming for start of next season, unless we can fix some of that in the winter window.

22 Nov 2025 11:18:45
How do they get 40m do they not need to qualify first.

22 Nov 2025 12:10:43
Also is Souttar not free to talk to other clubs January

And if rumour of Barron out to italy true we will have a pretty big lack of scottish domestic trained player problem.

22 Nov 2025 13:07:53
Forever no Scottish club has got 40 million from cl qualification not even them.

24 Nov 2025 12:08:18
Cheers Ehl and John.
