Rangers Transfer Rumours 4

01 Sep 2026 10:45:13
Sorry it's been a while since I posted folks

Met up with my friend this morning, not great news and I think we are going to be a disappointment fan base come Thursday

Kelsy and 1 loan is what he has heard (winger) & possibly a LB. If Raskin, or Barron leaves then another will sign but it will not be Lewis Ferguson.

Rommens injury is worse than expected and we are still enquiring if a suitable LB becomes available.

My friend is adamant we have only ever made one enquiry for cerny. He strongly believes this hype is poor typical journalism from Turkey.

As much as there is still a lot of time, our outgoings we are struggling with.

No bid officially for Raskin since Rennes
No bid for Barron officially as of yet

Cameron could go out to another SPFL side 2 teams have asked.

McCausland could be heading to MLS or league 1 England

Miovski is the only player with concrete interest with dutch and French interest.

Souttar wanted to leave under Rohl, the club expected him to move early in the window. He was very vocal that he wanted to leave. Even though Derek is in charge and I was told Souttar done a 360 on his decision he has burnt his bridges. This is all from Tav leaving.

I love our club dearly, I always try to bring as much information as I can but what I am hearing I actually feel sorry for Derek, we have a lot of toxic individuals who should not be at our club.

01 Sep 2026 10:52:54
Not in the slightest bit surprised with Souttar being toxic - guy always cared more about playing for Scotland. then was posing for pics in Kitty O'Shea's with the Scotland team last year - was vice captain of Rangers at the time.

Absolutely should not be happening.

01 Sep 2026 10:53:03
Brilliant WATP. Excellent update and all rings true.

01 Sep 2026 11:00:05
Outwith Souttar, who else is toxic WATP?

01 Sep 2026 11:09:53
Wishy, wouldn't normally comment on individuals but bear in mind this is just murmurings from the TG.

Miovski - wants out, terrible attitude in training.

Aasgaard - Brat. Thinks he's better than he is and not happy at not being a starter every week.

Raskin - what he perceives to be in the eye of the fans isn't what is seen behind closed doors.

Look back at BF comments from his time in charge. This is the biggest one that people don't see and is hard to believe for some. Hence the drop in price.

When we're playing matches with 6, 7 maybe 8 guys who either want to leave, or know they aren't wanted, it filters down through the team. Soon as we're rid, the better.

01 Sep 2026 11:12:12
If I'm honest, I think we've signed far too many & mostly for CDM/CM, RWs was really needed & defence. Whilst our midfield wasn't brilliant, they weren't the worse & all we needed was a creative & goal scoring midfielder. I really hope we don't sign Ferguson as he's the complete opposite of what is needed in midfield imo.

As for Souttar, he can leave for all I care, as he's been here long enough, paid well & hasn't been anywhere near as good as people think.

He was rightly dropped by Rohl & instead of getting head down & improving, he went into a sulk. Tav too was rightly not started as he was injured. No one man is bigger than the club & if Souttar did make a fuss about Tav, then it further adds to the rumours they tried to get Rohl sacked & who knows if they done the same with Clement, Gio, & Beale.

Don't know how you can have a completely new team, got rid of the old leadership & have toxic players already.

01 Sep 2026 11:22:21
The misinformation that is spread about Souttar on here is verging on ridiculous, and it's something I've never been able to get my head around.

01 Sep 2026 11:35:57
Ehl, why not clear it up then mate?

01 Sep 2026 11:38:50
WATP, Kelsy, any only one loan signing? Certainly not what I'm hearing.

01 Sep 2026 11:40:19
Watp, good update off what's in papers, and I'm here for weeks.

01 Sep 2026 11:40:46
I'm just interested to know if Souttar has done a 360 or a 180. 😂

01 Sep 2026 11:42:54
Obviously, if EHL could, he would, so he has his reasons for not doing so.

01 Sep 2026 11:44:17
On Souttar, can we get our weekly murmurs to clear up the situation.

01 Sep 2026 11:44:19
That's absolute pish about John Souttar. We should start up a new section in this page for BS.

01 Sep 2026 11:47:06
Probably cause it's private, Stevie, but genuinely at a loss as what it could be as if it was health wise he wouldn't be training.

01 Sep 2026 11:47:21
Maybe because it's no one's business?

01 Sep 2026 11:55:44
Thanks for the info. I hope it's not all true, but we definitely have to try and get rid of surplus players so that we can strengthen in the January window, as I think it's too late to bring many more in now.

I'd actually come to an agreement with Souttar to end his contract. Better for all. We wouldn't be getting much for him anyway.



I'd also consider a bit of end of window sale for the fringe players and compromise on the fees to save on wages and trim the bloated squad. e.g. McCausland, Cameron etc.

Probably same for Aasgaard, as long as we get our money back from what we paid last year - save the wages.

As for Gassama, if we get £10 to £12m then sell.

01 Sep 2026 12:02:13
Aren't most of the transfer windows closing today?

01 Sep 2026 12:02:22
Souttar would take half an hour to do a 360.

01 Sep 2026 12:17:32
Good info WATP. Thanks mate. Don't listen to negative comments. 👍

01 Sep 2026 12:10:57
Why would him posing for pictures in kitty o sheas rule someone lol. Please don't tell me it's because it's an Irish boozer?

01 Sep 2026 12:22:41
Brilliant Big Dado.

WATP. Think most of what you have stated is transpiring. I know nothing of the claims against individuals' character, but having spent many years in dressing rooms, it's common that there are cliques who form when not part of playing squad and seek to disrupt the manager's plans - it's not just a Rangers thing, hence why most managers can't wait til window shuts.

As I have stated, we are using the fact our window is slightly extended to see what happens at close of window today in the top leagues. This will allow us to assess - firstly who is still here (including Raskin, Barron, Miovski and Aasgaard in terms of potential outgoings) alongside a few we seek to move on (McCausland, Cameron, Souttar, Nsiala) and also who may be available in terms of loans IN from big 5 leagues, should we have gaps to fill (from that first list of potential outgoings).



You will not be surprised that once tonight's window shuts across Europe, other teams have players surplus to requirements and their agents will be keen to offload them to teams where the window is still open. Therefore, let's not panic until we see what transpires, as there may yet be a couple of surprises to come.

It's just crazy to think we have brought in 13 new players and yet seem so far away from where we need to be, but we were never going to turn this ship in one window.

01 Sep 2026 12:23:43
Don't remember Barry Ferguson ever saying anything bad about Raskin, just that he tried to do too much at times, and that he had to have discussions with him about his best role. I'm a know nothing, but I just don't believe Souttar is toxic.

If that's the case, why did we offer him an extension when his deal was running out, and why did 2 managers give him the captaincy, or did he just become toxic in the last couple of weeks of last season? I do agree that he seemed to put Scotland before Rangers, but he's not a dyed in the wool Rangers man so that's not really surprising, and didn't Ryan Jack do that once or twice too, so was he toxic?

01 Sep 2026 12:27:22
Ehl, I always respect your thoughts and insight but I can assure you the Souttar one is spot on.

Rohl wasn't impressed with this legacy of leaders such as Tav and Souttar. I ain't going to go into it in full but Souttar made a few remarks about Rohl.

Rohl spoke to him and he informed Danny he would like to leave as soon as possible.

The club would not stand in his way and he was free to speak to clubs all summer.

When Souttar found out it was Derek, he informed that he was willing to play for Derek.

However, the club told him it was best for all parties that he found a new club.

Now I personally think this is completely unacceptable for a player to act in this manner, and I feel for Derek that instead of getting to build bonds, he's had to deal with this rubbish.

I am not going into a list of who's been naughty and nice, but I am certainly not impressed with Raskin either and I personally hope he goes.

Trust me, there are reasons why Raskin isn't getting bids, his reputation has caught up with him.

01 Sep 2026 12:29:06
Some people OT, bonkers mate. 👍

01 Sep 2026 12:30:16
Out of all that has been posted here, I don't care about the transfers as the club will deal with it, if and when they can, but.

Stating we have many toxic players is a huge concern, as I thought we had got rid of the majority of the so-called problem players.

So, that is my major concern, as toxic players tend to make the whole place a toxic environment, and that isn't great when we have just added loads of new players.

01 Sep 2026 12:31:14
What a strange post. At so many levels.

01 Sep 2026 12:31:57
Any info is gd info, even if it's out there, keep it coming WATP appreciated. 👍👍

01 Sep 2026 12:32:05
I don't listen to the negativity, I am long life Rangers fan with a building business.

My friend is in the club, and I am very, very grateful that he allows me to share information. Don't get me wrong, I have overshared the Souttar situation, but I am disgusted about individuals at our club.

I am a newcomer to this page, and I think almost everything I have stated has come true, if papers got there first on some occasions, big woop.



I just try my best to give you what I have, I strongly believe there is only 1 person on here that has unbelievable information and that's Wullie.

EHL, Wishy, Mystar, love reading your stuff.

01 Sep 2026 12:33:32
Re Souttar, no chance there's anything wrong with his attitude. Say what you like about his ability, but he flings himself in front of absolutely everything. I can see him falling out with Rohl over how he treated Tav, but in my opinion that's fair enough. It was a disgrace.

The Kitty O'Shea's thing is pathetic. Absolutely embarrassing, a grown man has typed that. I've had a season ticket in the Copland Road all my days. If I'm out with my mates and they want to go into Kitty O'Shea's, then who cares.

And I'm not celebrating going to the World Cup. I used to work the odd shift in an Irish theme pub because it was owned by the same company as the pub I worked in - if you name any Scottish Rangers player from the 9 in a row era, right through the 00s, pretty much every single one of them had a pint in there at some point. I reiterate, absolutely embarrassing comment.

01 Sep 2026 11:55:01
Amo, explain to me how you know for definite Miovski has a poor attitude in training mate because none of us knows that imo. 🤔

01 Sep 2026 12:40:10
"I am not going into a list of who's been naughty and nice." tells us he won't be Santa, but then lists Souttar, Raskin and Tav as behaving badly.

This place is weird sometimes.

01 Sep 2026 12:40:11
Next he'll be smuggling stuff in his coffee beans, then needs a physio from all his illegal smuggling giving him a bad back when he has to pick up his wedge£ in London off the Barron.

Connor Barron is in no way affiliated with any wrong doing. 🎣😇😉😄

01 Sep 2026 12:40:16
It's actually wild, Fork. Bet they don't ever try Guinness either. It's utter nonsense, just to make out you are so staunch, it's not even funny. Boring.

01 Sep 2026 12:48:28
Why do Irish bars or having friends with Celtic players always be brought up?

You would be shocked how many players join the Old Firm and have friendships.

Souttar's problem was with Rohl, and he wanted to leave the club. He changed his mind, and the club think it's best he moves on.

Nothing to do with Irish bars.

01 Sep 2026 12:49:09
Are we signing a left back then Watp891, and if we are, who do you reckon, mate. 🤔🇬🇧

01 Sep 2026 12:50:33
If we were trying to sign another left back I'd like either Will Ferry or Manny Longelo. 🤔

01 Sep 2026 13:03:51
Sir Walter, we have made an enquiry to Coventry, Jay Desilva. Out of contract soon. We are going in with an offer of around 4 to 5 million.

01 Sep 2026 13:06:45
Orange, can't beat a pint of Guinness.

01 Sep 2026 13:14:48
Laughable OT. 👍

01 Sep 2026 13:19:42
Jay Da Silva is a good player, WATP, but he has been starting for Cov, surely they won't be selling him to us.

01 Sep 2026 13:25:03
Guinness is stinking. Don't know how anyone can drink it.

01 Sep 2026 13:25:35
Wishy, I was told that Coventry are looking to bring in an LB and therefore he would be allowed to leave.

I think it would be a fantastic signing mate.

01 Sep 2026 13:25:58
Jay Da Silva for 5 million, surely you're at the wind up.

01 Sep 2026 13:43:43
Regarding the Raskin attitude, remember how he downed tools at previous club before joining us, Barry Ferguson / Neil McCann said very candidly he is "very opinionated", which to me translates as a very polite way of saying he answers back, thinks he knows better than his coaches and probably just in general has a bad attitude.

I hope to see the back of him.
Also think about the last 2 games he hasn't featured. People speculate it's because the Chermiti incident has put an air of caution around him in case there is an offer. But it has been said there are no offers. So maybe there is something deeper.

01 Sep 2026 13:50:33
Raskin is still a Rangers player after the window shuts, he better get it into his head he ain't no 6.

01 Sep 2026 14:15:37
Yeah agreed WATP bud it woud be a top signing.


Gerrardout, spot on it is an embarresing comment but nearly as embarrassing as your name.

01 Sep 2026 14:46:58
SWS, read my post again. Then ask a sensible question. 👍🏼

01 Sep 2026 15:03:47
Fork, you're a very opinionated individual. Relax. The most sassy replier ever, man.

01 Sep 2026 15:23:51
Why thank you Lovenkrands, very kind of you. 😉👍

01 Sep 2026 15:32:45
Wishybear, Gerrard was backed to the hilt with money, and he won one trophy out of nine available. He let St Johnstone win a cup double in a year when Celtic absolutely fell to bits. He was a terrible manager, people just couldn't see it because his name was Steven Gerrard.

01 Sep 2026 15:45:50
Am I the only one who would give Raskin a new contract to tie him down if he is still here on Friday?

01 Sep 2026 15:48:24
Backed to the hilt?
We spent 3m after winning the league.
He got round about 10-12m each of his 3 summers to take us from the likes of Jason Holt and Josh Windass to winning the league.
Look at the money we have spent since, 30m nearly this summer, without adding Kelsey, round about the same last summer.

Beale spent more in a window than Gerrard ever got in one window.

The disrespect the guy gets on here makes my skin crawl.

01 Sep 2026 16:35:56
So there we go.

Derek has come out and said what I said a few hours ago. My understanding, after Kelly, is they are still looking for a loan or a purchase for a winger.

Raskin has had no bids.

Cameron off to United, the other club was St Mirren, btw.

I expect news about McCausland tomorrow.

01 Sep 2026 16:57:11
WATP, we all enjoy your fact filled posts, but there's only so many Crackerjack Pencils we can hand out.

01 Sep 2026 17:17:33
Ignore the slaggings, WATP, your posts are always the first I look out for.

01 Sep 2026 10:28:43
As it stands, Club is optimistic about one more signing after Kelsy.
I'm not 100% convinced that this is Cozier Duberry but it's fair to say it's a winger.

Aside from this, any other additions would be depending on who goes out the door and whether their role within the squad needs replaced.

01 Sep 2026 10:57:15
Need a cb massively - a statement cb signing at start if McInnes reign should have been number 1 priority imo.

01 Sep 2026 11:08:46
Given the state of play, keeping Raskin would be a priority for me.
Getting Barron, McCausland, Aasgaard and Miovski out, sold or on loan would also be important.
Having an experienced CB would also be important, given Manny's form and Godfrey's injury record.

01 Sep 2026 11:13:16
Raskin going nowhere - no one wants him fr price were wanting.

01 Sep 2026 11:17:46
I don't see Barron being sold, as McInnes rates Barron and said the only reason he has not featured much so far is he has just returned from a slight injury and played 76min on Thursday night, so did not appear against Aberdeen.



Aasgaard was one of our best players at the start of the season and expect him to stay as cover for number 10, as this is his preferred position.

01 Sep 2026 12:02:22
You could be right, NewIbroxStorm, but I'd rather trim the number of midfielders and they aren't going to sell players that they have just bought. Devlin, Neil will play, and Barron will have limited time, so it's better that he goes.



I don't think anyone will meet our valuation for Raskin, which is beyond me - just don't understand why.

Assgaard just doesn't do it for me; I'd rather recoup the transfer fee that we spent on him and move on. He is not what we need.

01 Sep 2026 12:25:35
I still expect Raskin to leave today. That said, I would be happy for him to stay and sign a contract extension. A couple of clubs are very close to our valuation. 👀

01 Sep 2026 12:29:57
If Raskin goes then Barron must stay to give us cover in C.M, Neil hasn't settled yet, Devlin is limited, Chukwuani is erratic, and Dragojevic is just a youngster settling in. I'd rather see Aasgaard go and then there is no danger of him fooling McInnes into starting him in a biggish game.

Looks like Miovski is going to go but that would concern me, numbers wise, even if we sign Kelsy. Shankland and Naderis form so far has me worried about what would happen if Kelsy got injured. It would be nice to find a younger backup who maybe wouldn't mind being 3rd or 4th choice. Possibly a loan?

01 Sep 2026 12:51:55
Devlin is class in the midfield job he does, wslgers4ever. 🤔

01 Sep 2026 09:35:45
All stuff online this morning.
Feyenoord have no interest in Miovski and there's been no contact.
Besiktas are willing to sell Cerny and may reduce asking price by 1.5mil down to 7mil.
Longelo interest isn't there, no contact made.
Celtic interested in Connor Coady(just thought I'd throw that in there).

01 Sep 2026 10:04:58
Funny as there's numerous reports regarding Miovski and Feyenoord coming out of the Netherlands, especially Rotterdam.

01 Sep 2026 10:16:28
Reports in Turkey saying Cerny and Rangers far apart on wages, and Besiktas happy with his start to the season, so aren't pushing him out. Think it's time to admit defeat on Cerny.

01 Sep 2026 10:55:12
Maybe true, Jasper, but there's also reports this morning from Rotterdam's top newspaper Algemeen Dagblad that no contact has been made with either Rangers or Miovski's representatives. They have other targets, and have said there's no interest in Miovski.

01 Sep 2026 12:33:52
Cerny seems to be playing every game for Besiktas and scoring regularly, I don't think they would be in any hurry to let him go, so why would they reduce the price. I think we can file this alongside Dahl, Moore and Ferguson as was never going to happen this window. Never mind, at least we didn't have to read all the Shankland rumours this window.

01 Sep 2026 14:10:20
Walter, I have written it on many occasions, it has been discussed many times on here. A very lazy player is Miovski, three managers can't all be wrong.

01 Sep 2026 15:05:54
John, he doesn't seem lazy on the park. He runs at defenders every time I seen him play. Always pressing. Maybe he is lazy in training, that's why he doesn't get picked. Another waste of money then if he's getting sold. Why o why do we keep having these problems, makes you wonder if they just throw money at stuff without actually thinking about outcomes.

And where we will be at in 12 months time. I think only half of our signings this season will make it.

01 Sep 2026 07:34:25
Just passing on something i just heard, we may see a quality attacking midfielder/10 come in on loan after the top 5 windows close

This dependent on players moving the other way, maybe Cameron or Aasgaard or maybe both, know there is last minute action surrounding Aasgaard

01 Sep 2026 09:20:37
Fingers crossed, mate.

01 Sep 2026 09:41:14
Had a Dufc supporting mate say yesterday that Dufc want Cameron on loan.

01 Sep 2026 12:12:22
Being reported, deal for Cameron to Dundee nearly done.

01 Sep 2026 01:00:32
Heard we are after Lenny Joseph the striker that's been widely reported but to play right wing and striker if needed

01 Sep 2026 09:37:24
Already been denied, mate.

01 Sep 2026 09:39:57
His name is amongst the confetti of names being thrown about by Ibrox News.

31 Aug 2026 22:47:10
Adam cruizier Duberry loan with obligation to buy for £10m is what it will take to get him.
Gassama asking price £12m with sell on clause is Rangers asking price and €10m from Salzburg only concrete bid with Monaco also keeping tabs on situation.


Rangers hoping to keep if they can get Duberry on straight loan with no obligation.
If Gassama is sold Duberry will be his replacement albeit on opposite side out wide he has played both

31 Aug 2026 23:18:54
French window is closed, is it not? So Monaco would be out the running if that's the case.

01 Sep 2026 00:32:42
We should move on in all seriousness, too much money for a League 1 player so far & we haven't exactly been selling players for over £15 million to make much of a profit. I'd rather keep Gassama tbh.

01 Sep 2026 00:34:59
French window shuts on the 1st 8pm.

01 Sep 2026 00:49:53
I've read in a few places, Brighton only want to loan him out, they don't want to sell unless they get silly money.

01 Sep 2026 02:53:11
They want about £12m, I think, and I think we went as high as 8-9m. Looks like he's signing a new contract now.

01 Sep 2026 05:04:12
Mugs if we pay it. Viera Arsenal Portugal international 7.7 and we are looking to pay more for a guy with not much top level experience.

01 Sep 2026 05:48:54
Weneedahero, it's the wages that are massively different though.

01 Sep 2026 07:17:27
Monaco are in real financial trouble and need to generate in the region of 150 million euros before the window closes.

01 Sep 2026 07:34:51
We should be trying for Tawanda Maswanhise. Knows our league and scores goals.

01 Sep 2026 08:04:04
McRorie knows our league, but isn't good enough, knowing the league is well below the attribute required to be good enough for Rangers.

01 Sep 2026 08:05:27
Maswanhise is vastly overrated within our support in my opinion.

Boys barely kicked his own arse since January.

01 Sep 2026 08:19:42
No way we should be paying that for Duberry, not a chance. Over inflated English market, leave well alone and move on.

01 Sep 2026 08:40:30
EHL, that's a lot of cash to raise by window closing, so no way they are coming back in for Gassama.

01 Sep 2026 08:57:56
If that's correct on Monaco, maybe explains why they haven't completed the deal for Fares Ghedjemis - maybe we should go back for him if we can get Gassama away - he looked a player.

01 Sep 2026 08:58:55
Found this on AS Monaco.

While the football club is not in immediate danger of collapse, it is navigating a highly restrictive financial environment.

France's football financial watchdog, the DNCG, has imposed strict wage bill controls on the club for the 2026/2027 campaign. Monaco must clear any new contracts with the regulator to ensure they fit under a hard, predetermined payroll cap.

Monaco's fiscal tightrope is exacerbated by a league-wide TV rights revenue drop across Ligue 1. The club has needed aggressive player trading to balance the books. In the final hours of the August 2026 transfer window, they structured a major EUR50 million deal to sell striker Folarin Balogun to Everton to maintain compliance and inject immediate liquidity.



Majority owner Dmitry Rybolovlev (who holds a 66.67% stake) initiated a process via The Raine Group to explore a total or partial sale of the football club. While Prince Albert II indicated the sale process was temporarily put on ice, unsolicited investor interest remains active.

AS Monaco FC is operating under a total projected club budget of EUR125 million for the 2026/2027 season, heavily restricted by the strict financial guardrails of French football's financial watchdog, the DNCG.

01 Sep 2026 09:13:17
Gassama won't be going to Monaco.

Very likely he now remains.
Chance of Aasgaard going.

Wouldn't get hopes up on anyone else after Kelsy. Being priced out of a right winger still.

Midfield being neglected again is just criminal. Hell mend us.

01 Sep 2026 09:21:57
WTS your spot on. We will sign Kelsey and that will be it imo. For how long it takes us to get deals done, we will not get anyone else in. Really hope we keep Raskin now, cause if he goes without anyone in, our midfield is nowhere near it.

01 Sep 2026 09:38:17
Raskin staying is probably for the best for us now.

We wouldn't have a replacement lined up.

01 Sep 2026 09:52:25
Agreed, his age has probably gone against him getting a big money move.

01 Sep 2026 12:00:20
Sky Sports reporting Cozier-Duberry signing a new contract and going on loan to someone in the Championship.

31 Aug 2026 20:52:49
Just thought I'd share the Rangers Review article points as it contradicts a few things being shared on here.

So Kelsy medical done but not yet in Scotland.

Feyenoord approached Rangers for Miovski on loan today.

Nothing in the Cerny deal due to wages and fee.

Cozier-Duberry still of interest and confidence growing in the club but may only be a loan as we have spent 20m after Kelsy deal.

No centre half is expected to join and no central midfielder is expected to join either.

Sterling and McCrorie seen as back ups if needed for CB and we're expected to go back to 2 cm with Shankland playing off Kelsy.

Longelo is not a target.

Fringe players are expected to leave and no replacements for them.

Raskin has 3 clubs in talks with Rangers, one from England, one from Italy and one from Spain.

Barron still has interest but nothing concrete and remains to be seen if a bid will come.

Gassama also expected to stay and highly rated by McInnes.

So in summary Raskin in talks with 3 clubs, Miovski to Feyenoord likely, Kelsy to be announced soon, Cozier-Dubbery on loan possibly, no other incomings, more outgoings hopefully.

Fgs, Murph ruined my day, Shanks playing off Kelsy. I really hope that's BS as that means 442 and we are awful playing that.

31 Aug 2026 21:11:16
Apparently it will be more of a 4-2-3-1 or 4-4-1-1, bbj.

Ruined my day as well, as it means it will most likely be Kelsy and only one more.

31 Aug 2026 21:11:58
I agree Bbj, 🤔 we just can't, imo, go one light in the midfield playing a 4-4-2 and are handing other teams the advantage in the engine room. 🤔 I think the 4-3-3 is a much better system, along with the 4-2-3-1 for me. 🤔

31 Aug 2026 21:13:18
Ayrshire, that is similar to what I have heard; however, should we lose both Barron and Raskin (also Cameron heading out), we will bring one in - but our main option has a hitch due to loan/selling club struggling to get their target over the line.

The CH I have shared would only be considered as a development loan; left footed CB is preferred.

Discussions could break down as would require player to play certain amount of minutes, but that could be tricky given Makanya, Fernandes and Godfrey form.

I posted very similar update to your original post last week re staff feeling they could cope with Sterling and Mccrorie as backups.

31 Aug 2026 21:15:21
I hope this isn't true as we are still a couple players away from what we need, but thanks for the info regardless, Murphy, always appreciated even if I don't like it. 🤣

31 Aug 2026 21:20:43
I'd expect most of that to be completely true. I was highly doubtful we'd be bringing anyone else in after Kelsy, so even one more winger on loan would be decent. Also, think that other than Raskin we are now at the point where most outs will likely be loan deals as well just to try to get some of the 'unwanted' fringe players out of the building to stop them being a 'distraction/poor influence' around the training centre.


Also, don't see Gassma going. He's probably been our best player so far this season (although I know that's not saying a lot), but what would be the point in bringing in 2 wide men due to being so short in those areas just to let another one go with little to no time to bring in a replacement. 🤷
And all the rumours/whispers around Cerny and Ferguson again were never more than wishful thinking at this point.

31 Aug 2026 21:21:33
We really need better in midfield or we won't win anything, unfortunately.

31 Aug 2026 21:22:32
If we sell Barron and Raskin we will surely have to sign a CM. Absolutely crazy if they don't.

Drago, Neil, Devlin, Chukwuani only CM options are nowhere near enough, and it's absolutely negligent from the board if they go into the season with that.

31 Aug 2026 21:37:23
Dubberry, one I've heard about for a while and really hope we get him.

31 Aug 2026 21:39:53
Not long to wait, let's see what unfolds. The Mhob across the city have secured deals to bring in 3 centre mids and a keeper, according to Sky Sports News. Now, I know we can't react to what they do; however, if anyone expects DMc to challenge for domestic silverware with Drago, Neil, Devlin, Chukwuani, they are delusional.

31 Aug 2026 21:47:13
Bears, not the ones they were interested in until very recently though.

31 Aug 2026 21:57:25
Bears, nobody is psychic, it's just fear & pessimistic feelings, same as every other season. Back the team and let's see where we are come April/May. 🤘😁🤘🔴⚪️🔵

31 Aug 2026 21:57:59
Interesting Bearsbear. There is a certain Serie A side currently struggling with getting a target over the line. 👀

31 Aug 2026 22:00:37
Hope we manage to shift Aasgaard, he will want game time, I don't see him as a starter. Think a move would be best for him and us. If we are going to play with a 2 in midfield, I don't see where he plays.

31 Aug 2026 22:06:24
I will add that Chris Jack gets a lot of info from the club, so this could be what the club wants out there, that we're not looking for a cm or cb, to save clubs driving up prices, but I'm going to take it as truth for now. Not quite a fact but definitely believable. I also think that once Drago, Neil, Devlin and Chuk hit form, we'll be fine. My preference would probably be a two of Neil and Dragojevic, as I think Neil is tactically disciplined, and allows players like Devlin and Drago to go be terriers.



Just need to wait and see, folks, as I'm sure if something interesting becomes available the club will act.

Also ok, the mention of that lot, nobody knows if any of these players they are signing for cm are even good or how they'll handle the league. Just need to wait and see how it plays out.

31 Aug 2026 22:26:28
Murph, even doing a 4231, I'd not want Shanks dropping deep. He lacks mobility for that role, and his touch at times is honking. I hope he sticks Kelsy up top, Min-su behind, and Gassama left. Curtis and Yokota rotate, or the new RW if we get one.

31 Aug 2026 22:30:01
Think Dm will change formations, but not as much as no European football. Let's see how we line up over next month.

31 Aug 2026 22:33:51
Aye, I know what you're saying, bbj. Just need to wait and see. It does say in the article that they've been told McInnes still favours 2 strikers on the park and 2 midfielders, before going on to say that means a 4-4-2, but it would look more like a 4-4-1-1 or 4-2-3-1, with Shankland off Kelsy, and a combination of either Gassama, Minsu, Yokota, Curtis and any new winger off the sides, but the good thing is Minsu is clearly capable of playing that role off the striker.

31 Aug 2026 22:55:34
If we're judging it by formations, we'll need to come up with a brand new one because we've been rotten at 442, 433, 4231, 4321 and 352 at times. Maybe now he thinks we have the players to make one of them work now.

31 Aug 2026 23:20:52
Based on the Aberdeen match, I'm a bit more hopeful the 2 midfielders can work, as Minsu wasn't exactly involved in a lot of defensive work as a 10, and we did look threatening on the attack without making the right choice with the final ball. If Kelsy comes in and those choices click, we could be a very dangerous team.

A lot of ifs though.

31 Aug 2026 23:21:52
3-4-3 next Kaiser. 😂

31 Aug 2026 23:23:18
If we don't sign a new CB or AM we can forget it.

01 Sep 2026 02:29:41
Spot on Bearsbear.

Likewise and unfortunate, we will not compete with Barron/Raskin/Cameron/Aasgaard.

Maybe highlights more than a few issues, imo we need all above out and a high quality CDM who can dictate play and a more attacking CM/CAM.

01 Sep 2026 09:19:29
Ayrshire, maybe go back to old WM or 235 formations. 🤷🤣 Tried everything else and they say football is cyclical.

01 Sep 2026 11:23:26
Rangers need to sign a solid no nonsense combative centre - back it's a total necessity,

Our defence is lackluster at best
We are constantly making silly mistakes n passbacks costing us dearly



The defence we have just now bearly held against an average Aberdeen side

That mob, hearts, and Hibs will steam roll us aside, sometimes it's woeful to watch, we need another experienced centre to help keep a level head, as constantly relying on Sterling isn't enough
I think Sterling is great but we need more help
As Fernandez is a weak man just now
At Times it feels tomboy has flicked a switch n turned him off

Godich at St mirrin would be ideal, could do us a massive turn, help fill in the gaps
Cheaper option

As we stand just now
We ain't strong enough to win anything
Will be out the cups by Christmas

I'm not being all doom n gloom

Defensively not good enough
We can bearly create at times -or score

We need better
