Rangers Transfer Rumours

16 Oct 2025 07:35:57
Deal with Muscat being finalised - Chris Jack. I'm actually delighted with this appointment and if we have to wait a few weeks so be it.

16 Oct 2025 07:51:50
I wish him ever success, I expect he will not be frightened to tell the players a few home truths and I'm specifically looking forward to seeing what he brings in the January transfer window 🤫😜.

16 Oct 2025 07:53:08
He said the same about gerrard so until we get the official line from the club I won't be getting excited lol.

16 Oct 2025 08:00:33
Would be delighted if we get Muscat tbf! would rather wait a few weeks than bring someone in now for the sake of it!

16 Oct 2025 08:15:56
Delighted isn't one of my thoughts MW.

16 Oct 2025 08:48:12
Time will tell my star.

16 Oct 2025 09:26:03
It really feels like all the media are guessing at the moment. This has got to be massively embarrassing for the board. It feels like no one wants the job.

16 Oct 2025 09:27:07
Think he's the only candidate left, everyone else has knocked it back.

16 Oct 2025 09:34:39
Wrong deal for the wrong manager at the wrong time, waiting for him is just wrong. If he wants this job he should be told to come now. This appointment has disaster written all over it.

16 Oct 2025 09:39:59
If Muscat is the one chosen then i'm happy to see how it goes he has won things will know those markets well too so has the potential to come good but like Martin if things don't improve very soon we will be back here by xmas.

16 Oct 2025 09:40:27
Deal with Gérard was finalised a week or so ago as well. Until it done and confirmed by the club then it isn't done.

16 Oct 2025 09:48:37
I wanted muscat before beale, clement, martin, its a great appointment if it happens.

16 Oct 2025 09:54:52
Paying £1.5million in compensation.

I would gave rather they tried to get Mcinnes.

16 Oct 2025 10:03:07
Why not my star?

16 Oct 2025 10:11:11
Musky needs a certain type of player to execute his tactics, we don't have them and when would he be able to build his own team to play the way he wants? He'll be sacked before he gets to implement his style with his players.

16 Oct 2025 10:21:06
Whoever it ends up being I just want them to get it done, it has once again taken far too long to appoint someone.

Succession planning? They should've been able to contact their preferred candidate on the Sunday evening/ Monday am and established if it was a goer and then a couple of days to agree/ get the deal done or immediately move to next in line. No need to wait until targets jet in.

16 Oct 2025 10:33:51
Thelwell running the show on Saturday?

16 Oct 2025 10:38:48
If the media are guessing then why would it be embarrassing to the board?

16 Oct 2025 10:44:35
My star probably best candidate that was on shortlist. Only down side is waiting a month on him coming. But yeah long term best we could have hoped for.

16 Oct 2025 10:51:12
Great appointment. Agree. Who i wanted before SG and clement also.

16 Oct 2025 10:54:01
Shakypeg because I'm not very keen on Muscat, good few worries about him but he'll have my backing.

16 Oct 2025 10:58:24
Paul maybe for you not even close for me mate.

16 Oct 2025 11:00:41
Just wondering My star and this isn't having a go mate. What is it that makes you not keen on the appointment of kevin muscat mate 🤔.

16 Oct 2025 11:04:38
They have messed around but if it's Muscat I think they have eventually stumbled over something positive, now all they need is to replace oddball and Thelwell with 1 genuine football man to help the coach where and when required.

16 Oct 2025 11:30:54
Few things Sws, losing a couple of goals like his team do regularly, that happens in our league we drop a great amount of points because we ain't scoring 3 against these teams in Scotland, they'll just lock the door, he only plays the game one way mate, punishment in Europe, our owners want a man that takes Rangers deep in Europe, where the capital is, think we'll be on our third manager 18 months in, right now am only looking for trophies in Scotland, thinking our owners are thinking the same and appointing him gets more of the fans onside, he's got 100% my backing though.

16 Oct 2025 12:21:07
I can't believe our club has fallen so low that we have to wait weeks for a manager to join us, and let's face it we're not talking a Klopp or Guardiola here, By the time Muscat gets here the league will be completely over, we will be out the league cup and probably lost another couple of European games. Season over.

What a shambolic mess those four guys in charge have made since they took over and the two who are employed by the club should resign immediately. No compensation, they should be so embarrassed they should just hold their hands up and go.

16 Oct 2025 13:52:32
Don't worry about Muscat only worries are Thelwell and Stewart as they can continue to cause damage.

16 Oct 2025 13:53:17
After the Gerrard and Rohl withdrawals likely due to Thelwell?
We have finally succeeded in plan C after almost 2 weeks of interviews / meetings, how long do we have to wait for plan C to come?
If its once he completes his initial contract on the 31st of Dec 25, that's 17 games, then its a baptism of fire in the new years old firm game as his first test with little time to get the squad ready, this has got desperation and disaster stamped all over it, like Star i believe we will be looking for another manager in 8 to 12 months, chinese, japanese and australian leagues a nothing like the SPFL, underwhelming decision if true.
Zero experience managing in europe, wins in faily easy lower level leagues, Muscats perfect for the job, martin 2.0 coming to a stadium near you, soon (ish)

16 Oct 2025 13:21:51
Mystar (again not having a go) I think it's more down to the players/ league concerning the goals against. If you look at the league there's a lot of very high scoring games, teams regularly being beaten by 4/ 5 goals. Port only last 2 games last season and 3 this season so far. Scoring an average of 3 per game last season and only 1 goal against.

Personally I think he'd be a great appointment, if it's not him then like yourself I'll get behind whoever takes over. Fingers crossed whoever it is they get this team up and running and winning matches. After what we've all had to go through in recent seasons we deserve it! WATP!

16 Oct 2025 13:23:10
Been offered it looks like but will he accept or will this farce continue for a while yet?

16 Oct 2025 15:00:49
He will have experienced assistants and none of those leagues are worse than SPFL not much is. maybe Bangladesh or Greenland but not much else. LAUDRU PHAGI.

16 Oct 2025 07:31:57
Morning all,

Chris Jack and Rangers Review reporting this morning that Rangers are finalising deal for Muscat to become new Head Coach. Looks like the saga is (hopefully) about to come to an end with a manager that most of us will be able to get on board with from the get-go.

16 Oct 2025 07:51:27
Let's hope Muscat can convince the club to start bringing in some quality East Asian players. There are so many talented players in Japan and South Korea – who can be signed for relatively low fees – yet we continue to ignore those markets.

16 Oct 2025 07:52:21
I think he'll succeed as long as Thelwell is gone.

16 Oct 2025 07:55:41
Think the Asian market is a bit of a lottery, if you look across the city then only 3 players signed from Asian leagues have been a success out of 7/ 8 signings? Strike rate is pretty low. Granted, the 3 who have been successful have made a huge contribution for them.

16 Oct 2025 08:04:43
Not over the moon with this call, but it is what is it.

16 Oct 2025 08:06:48
Japan and South Korean have some talent but Chinese league is very poor. Best players are mostly the Brazilian mercenaries. Other teams also tried the market after Celtic to very little success. It all stinks of just trying to follow Ange.

16 Oct 2025 08:07:31
Never got that correct lol 🤪, what it is.

16 Oct 2025 08:13:11
That's a fair point, SounessesMowzer, but the fees involved make it low risk, in my opinion. We usually focus on the English market which means we often have to pay over the odds for mediocre players because the player values down there are overinflated.

16 Oct 2025 08:14:46
He is my first choice, but that goes for nothing. He could be a hit or a miss. Time will tell.

16 Oct 2025 08:16:21
It's not popular, however the industry benchmark for successful signings is around 40%.

When you look at the spend banding within that measure we'd typically be looking at just over a third of our transfers being successful.

So although Celtics venture in to the Asian market appeared to have been sensational - it was actually pretty average.

The good news is, that when you spend over £10m that increases to about 50% - so there's a 1 in 2 chance of Chermiti being a success.

16 Oct 2025 08:18:46
Celtic signed about 12 players from asia since ange came in, 3 have been a success.

16 Oct 2025 08:22:51
Kaisercaillaud, why should we limit our options just because we're fearful of looking like we're copying them?

16 Oct 2025 08:31:22
I think Chermiti will be a success. Supply him, hell score once he's settled.

16 Oct 2025 08:59:13
Tend to agree Colonel👍.

16 Oct 2025 08:59:49
I think it was Arsene Wenger that said three out of five signings don't work out.

16 Oct 2025 09:33:48
Requiem I'm not wanting to limit options, I'm looking for better and not being blinded by a one off success. A bit like after Mourinho everyone went daft for Portuguese football and ended up with AVB instead, just that this is at a far inferior level.

16 Oct 2025 10:44:14
Totally agree Walters Guitar i think we will be fine in the attacking areas with plenty goals. Just the defence need sorting.

16 Oct 2025 12:23:16
Signings will still be from England until Thelwell and son and Purdy are gone, as he himself said its the only market he knows.

16 Oct 2025 12:29:41
My star think you got it right first time. I've been thinking 'what is it ' all week and I still don't know.

My worry at the moment is that Muscat might slide tackle or elbow a linesman, could he bring in big Dunc to calm him down? Anyway think he will be fine and not talk pish like Russell.

16 Oct 2025 14:16:24
Chinese league is awash with money, huge market still reasonable and should be watched closely I think they have much better than Peterborough or Luton town level.

15 Oct 2025 22:44:11
I vowed not to get involved in this managerial carry-on, but events made me change my mind. This is a long story so bear with me. An old friend moved to the USA west coast 50 years ago. He built up a chain of small boutique hotels and sold them for £185million.

He had a business connection with Cavenagh and the York dynasty. He had also a business thread with Bill McGuire, who owns Minnesota Utd. Now, Cavenagh and McGuire are also acquainted through a business thread. Minnesota's head coach is a Welsh lad called Eric Ramsay, the youngest ever head coach in the MLS. Cavenagh seemingly indicated to McGuire that he and Paraag Marathe would like to take Ramsay into their group and bring him back to the UK, whether with Leeds or us in some capacity, who knows.

I don't know if this has any genuine bearing on our managerial search, but it would mean another project coach rather than someone with experience. Ramsay has taken Minnesota to third place in the MLS Western conference and is very highly thought of.

16 Oct 2025 02:13:36
New name is always interesting, But I'd be severely shocked if we hire any project manager after Rohl has ruled himself out.

16 Oct 2025 02:34:53
Fans would feel like the owners were now ripping it if that happened.

16 Oct 2025 02:39:43
Jesus, well 12th place with Sheffield Wednesday in the championship looks a lot better now then 😂

The owners know which way they have to go now after the Martin debacle. I can guarantee they leaked Rohls name to the press to gauge the response of the fans which is why they then moved on to Muscat. If they wanted Rohl he would've been in not long after Gerrard said no.
If they have any sense whatsoever they need to appoint someone who has buy in from the fans because then they can say "well it was you who wanted him" if things go Pete Tong.

16 Oct 2025 05:48:41
Ted lasso!

16 Oct 2025 07:51:05
How would you be getting "involved"? How is posting on a Rangers forum you getting "involved in this managerial carry-on"? Are you not being a tad over dramatic there? I do love a bit of the old hyperbole.

And by the way. What a post, that's a whopper! 🤣🤣🤣.

16 Oct 2025 10:47:17
Unless they are a bit dim it was clear for some time Martin was getting sacked so why did they not prepare for it and not end up in this shambles.

Also clear Thelwell and the oddity are not what they thought but looks like they haven't noticed yet. but everyone else has except 1 or 2 pretend ITK melts.

16 Oct 2025 11:04:44
"ITK Melts"?

What are you 12? And think you've been watching too much Danny Dyer!

That'll be fellow fans that share with us all what they've heard.

Sometimes it pans out, sometimes it doesn't. Rather them than a "dry lunch" like you 😅😅😅.

16 Oct 2025 11:17:50
Athole that one is best ignored.

I wonder what the site would be like if no one posted what they heard and no one had an opinion.

These clowns would have nothing.

16 Oct 2025 12:32:46
Exactly Asa.

16 Oct 2025 12:51:09
Athole ok I must stop watching those movies, point taken. I accept that dig no problem fair enough.

Rumours all good as you say no harm whatsoever.

15 Oct 2025 21:51:19
German media saying that Rohl didn't withdraw. He said no.

15 Oct 2025 22:31:22
Don't believe that - I think he wanted a decision made. To be fair, they interviewed him in the summer, then again recently, and still they kept him dangling. Not exactly a vote of confidence in him.

Don't blame him for withdrawing.

15 Oct 2025 22:57:36
Would rather stay on the dole.

15 Oct 2025 22:58:29
No much difference haha.

15 Oct 2025 23:00:59
We will never know.

15 Oct 2025 23:30:29
Saying no is withdrawing?

15 Oct 2025 23:35:16
Well he would say that wouldn't he.

16 Oct 2025 01:18:03
Withdrawing is when you remove your application before an offer is made, while refusing is when you decline a job offer that has already been extended to you.

16 Oct 2025 04:46:18
Teds let's not be kidded here my friend, danny rohl withdrew/ said no whatever, because he realised he wasn't getting the Rangers job simple as that mate 🤔🇬🇧.

16 Oct 2025 05:27:11
Most pundits journos are saying same as you Sir Walter and I agree, face saving from Röhl and I don't blame him tbh.

16 Oct 2025 08:19:32
How can you refuse a job you were never offered? He got an interview like the other dozen candidates.

16 Oct 2025 09:33:12
Ok RDB, i'll rephrase it for you pal.
Danny Rohl withdrew because he realised kevin muscat was the preferred choice, hows that mate 🤔.

15 Oct 2025 21:50:24
Steven Gerrard was using us to flush out Wrexham.

16 Oct 2025 00:56:59
Could you please go a bit more in-depth. I am intrigued.

16 Oct 2025 02:45:20
I thought he was using us to keep his name in press so other clubs think of him when tax year finnished.

16 Oct 2025 04:47:57
I'd be gobsmacked if steven gerrard became the wrexham manager anytime soon mate 😲.

16 Oct 2025 07:08:40
No, no, no. Gerrard couldn't take the job because of the tax issues. 🎣🎣🎣 Where Fork 😂😂😂😂
Anything to get me through the day. 😭😭.

16 Oct 2025 08:23:11
Nope not saying it, Angus👀 get back on here and answer that⬆️😉🤣.

16 Oct 2025 08:33:48
Dof is getting just about as bad as the tax with Gerrard, worked under two his first time at Rangers, same at Villa, even worked with an ex Rangers dof at his Saudi club, now it's stopping him taking the job, maybe something in it with Thelwell, but this dof is just more made up bull just like the tax situation.

16 Oct 2025 13:11:45
Wrexham are doing pretty well for their first timed in the championship, 18th for a team from the national league a few years ago is a great start. They'd be fools if they sacked their current manager for Gerrard who'd probably get them relegated.

15 Oct 2025 21:13:13
That Luca Chinati on X just posted this

NEW: Rangers make a club record financial offer to Sean Dyche in the hope of luring the Englishman as their new Manager. Dyche considering offer. More to follow. LC.

15 Oct 2025 21:24:07
Wind up account.

15 Oct 2025 21:26:04
Jesus.

15 Oct 2025 21:26:59
He didn't. Someone mocked up a picture of it, spread it on Facebook and gullible individuals believed it to be true, screenshotted it and sent it round daft forums and group chats without actually checking his X account.

15 Oct 2025 21:30:17
That is a wind-up troll account.

15 Oct 2025 21:31:16
Be nonsense, getting a manager fans don't want, am seeing getting Muscat as fans pressure so i can't see that.

15 Oct 2025 21:32:52
I'll be sick as a pig if its Dyche.

15 Oct 2025 21:49:21
😂 Nope.

16 Oct 2025 02:46:17
Think it's obvious from all posts nobody knows anything.
