Rangers Transfer Rumours 4

07 Jun 2026 19:46:09
According to Alan Nixon we are still interested in Joe Gelhardt and would like to sign him from Leeds. Maybe this is what Marathe was eluding to. Gelhardt played 45 games on loan at hull and scored 15 goals with 6 assists. Mainly played on the RW but can play in the 10 or as CF.

Valued at €14m on transfermarkt which isn't particularly accurate and notes us as interested on the site also.

07 Jun 2026 20:19:46
It does also say in the article Hull are favourites to sign him, and he has a significant contract at Leeds, but one year left on the deal.

07 Jun 2026 15:25:48
I see Rangers Review are running a story that the fitness camp that Bailey Rice is at are helping him get fit in time for pre season at Rangers. Does anyone know it he's agreed to a deal?

I thought I'd seen something that he'd signed for Nottingham Forest.

07 Jun 2026 15:43:33
Hopefully not, he isn't good enough for us.

07 Jun 2026 15:53:00
The Forest thing was an AI generated image and was false.

As far as anyone is aware, just now nothing signed, and multiple other clubs have been linked, including Prem sides, Championship, Dutch and Italian.

07 Jun 2026 15:57:07
Chris, He's 19 years old, fgs man.

07 Jun 2026 15:58:52
Fans like Chris are exactly why Bailey Rice should leave for a fresh start elsewhere.

07 Jun 2026 16:07:45
I think we expect him to sign the deal and go out on loan next season.

07 Jun 2026 16:13:22
If Rice could stay injury free and get a season of game time he'd be a better player than Barron. 🤷

07 Jun 2026 16:14:16
Chris, he was better than Miller when they were at Motherwell. He hasn't developed with us because he doesn't play games. Sign him on a new 4 year deal and loan him out for this season somewhere he plays every week.

07 Jun 2026 16:17:57
I disagree, Chris. The boy is a talent, a season on loan playing regular football is what he needs.

I think if he left now for free we would regret.

07 Jun 2026 16:21:58
Rice has suffered injuries that have affected his development, but he's still young enough to have a future as a good player. He's a player who now needs to get game time. The best move for all would be for him to sign on for another year, with the club having an optional extension, and go out on loan.

If he's successful on loan and stays injury free, then take on the extension and bring him into the fold. If he picks up further injuries, or shows signs of his development having stalled, then we could let him move on next year.

07 Jun 2026 16:32:24
Don't agree with you, Chris, whatsoever. 🤔 Bailey Rice is a talented midfielder and is good enough. 🤔 Yes he's lost his way a bit with us due to injuries and lack of game time, but hopefully now get him fit and his chance to show Rohl what he's about/got. 🤔 🇬🇧

07 Jun 2026 16:47:12
Chris, an example why players struggle at Ibrox.

07 Jun 2026 16:50:23
Better than Barron heard it all now. 🤣🤣🤣

07 Jun 2026 16:56:08
I like Barron, Skins, but Rice has the capabilities to be a much better footballer, hopefully signs a long contract and gets loaned out for a season.

07 Jun 2026 16:58:58
Can 100% guarantee Baily Rice gives much more in determination than the majority of our other midfielders, other than Connor Barron. To win games of football, we need players willing to give their all. Would personally love to keep him as part of the squad.

07 Jun 2026 16:59:34
Skins, he ain't completely wrong. Technical ability & reading of a game, he's above and beyond most his age and above.

Barron isn't anything special when it comes to footballing ability, but his work rate and attitude counterbalance it. A mix of the two and you'd have an unbelievable talent.

07 Jun 2026 17:19:48
He's played about 5 games, Chris, so how can you make that assumption? He needs to play football and develop. He won't get that at us. If he signs a new deal, he must go on loan for at least two seasons. Fans should be far less critical of young players and start supporting them more.

07 Jun 2026 17:42:53
We need to keep him, loan him out to a decent side where he can play with a bit of freedom and get his confidence and experience up. Either that, or we let him go to Europe and have to bid £15m for him in 4 years. 😂

07 Jun 2026 17:50:21
Skins, sorry didn't mean to offend your love for Barron. 🫡 Forgot you aren't allowed to say anything about his ability on Rangers pages.

07 Jun 2026 18:17:13
Rice hasn't played enough games because whenever he has got a game he hasn't done enough to keep his place. He's now had 4 managers, they can't all be wrong. No doubt he's talented, but as a midfielder he needs to do the other side of the game too, and he's never shown a willingness to do that. He may have more skill than Barron, but he's not as good a midfielder as for him giving much more in determination to win games than other midfielders, that's just a joke.

I'm quite happy to give him another chance if he wants it, but he needs to step up and show what he can do so that others can stop making excuses for him.

07 Jun 2026 18:53:16
Yeh Chris I wondered why I never palyed for Rangers had a fleeling it was you all along. You need to take a back seat for a while and see if the youngsters can make it, no more going into that board room with threats, no more turing up at the mgrs house on a sat night, no more orginising protests at the trg ground.

Just no more Chris, go back to the UN.

07 Jun 2026 19:13:43
He's better than Barron, but he does not play, what a load of s***. He might have the potential to be better, but as of right now Barton is better, and that's why he starts before him.

07 Jun 2026 19:14:39
Wee Bailey Rice is the sort of player we should be giving game time to this season, and he'll come on leaps and bounds, and was miles ahead of Liam Miller when they were coming through at Motherwell together. Think a loan to a spl team is what he needs. It helped Curtis. It's a Scottish core we need going forward.

07 Jun 2026 19:17:16
Chris, I'm sorry, but you're well off with that comment regarding Rice. He most definitely is a talent.

What Rice does need is a good loan move, similar to what Curtis had this season.

If we were to lose him on a free, I would bet a lot of money that we would regret it in 2-3 years. Also, we need to remind ourselves he is still only 19.

07 Jun 2026 20:06:33
The lack of reading comprehension at times is wild. No one said Rice is better than Barron, but after a full season under his belt, he most likely would. Genuinely so hard to post on here at times, man.

So many people just looking to cry.

07 Jun 2026 20:09:30
I think he was meaning Gelhardt.

07 Jun 2026 20:12:13
I think chris isn't really a Rangers fan or a proper football fan 👍 bailey rice one of the best players on the pitch against man united isn't good enough?? Please watch some football

07 Jun 2026 22:51:34
From what I have seen and heard about Bailey through the years, he was a bit ahead of his station. A lot of technical ability, and the club hoped he could be like Davis, but he's struggled to get physically ready to play 60+ games a season. I think it's best for both parties to go separate ways.

07 Jun 2026 23:22:48
Think we must get guys like Rice, Curtis signed on long term contracts & loan them out every season until they are 20-21 for regular game time, experience & development, & then integrate to 1st team. Only exception of course would be if we ever had a young superstar like a Rooney/Dowman/Moore type player, but they are very rare.

07 Jun 2026 23:39:32
Rice is 19 and has 11 under 19 caps and 2 under 21 caps. If he can be written off just like that, then there is no hope for any young player at our club.

08 Jun 2026 03:04:58
He has other offers, but we have put a good plan forward to him and his team, both financial and development/playing time.

Rohl wants to see him in Pre season, but the expectation is that he will go out on loan. This may include a recall option.

08 Jun 2026 09:10:30
Give our youth a chance, we gave Curtis away, only to be landed with that Olson joke, one thing our young lads will give is heart, we must start to believe in our kids, also a lot cheaper!

08 Jun 2026 12:36:09
Curtis is a talented young player who needs nurturing. He needs to play. We should ensure we keep him and Lian him out. He also needs to play his part to fulfill his potential.
With his skill and raised his efforts like Barron he'll be a prize.

07 Jun 2026 15:06:21
Hi guy, first time poster here. Go easy please.

Was in the pub last night and got talking to a few guys about gers. And one of the guys was saying that his missus cleans Ibrox. She has told him that we are looking too loan get this ( ben ganonn-doak ) to me a loan deal would be great. But we sell nico and youssef £25+ for each we could possibly buy him.

Anyone else heard this?

07 Jun 2026 15:34:12
Good post, Dev, and welcome.

07 Jun 2026 15:37:00
Not a hope in hell is he leaving EPL football to come to Rangers. Zero.

07 Jun 2026 15:37:49
A cleaner at Ibrox has inside knowledge of Rangers transfer business? I'm not convinced, mate. This club last year was pulling players out of nowhere that no one had mentioned in any rumour.

I think the same will play out this year. BGD would prefer the other side of the city, I think, if he was to go out on loan, but I think Marco Rose will want a good look at him in pre season.

07 Jun 2026 15:54:48
Bgd definitely is a fan of the other mob. His family are known by my in-laws. We don't have any inside info, but can confirm he is one of them.

07 Jun 2026 15:59:06
Just saying what I was told. But I think him and Curtis down the wings in Scotland would terrify teams.

07 Jun 2026 16:01:10
I don't see him coming back up to Scotland. Also, he was at Celtic before he went down south, so be surprised if it was for us.

07 Jun 2026 16:03:17
If Rangers sold two players for a combined sum of £50m they could go and buy Celtic fan Ben Doak?

07 Jun 2026 16:15:36
Would rather go for Moore than Doak.

07 Jun 2026 16:37:45
So John, I'm assuming with your response and answer to DavRFC that you have the same info regarding Ben Gannon-Doak as a possible loan deal to us, mate. 🤔

07 Jun 2026 16:40:19
Why are people fixated on him being a Celtic fan? Look at Kenny Miller, played for both sides. Those days are long gone about what team you support. It's about the game you love and the club that pays your wages.

But great post Dav.

07 Jun 2026 17:11:33
Dkt, I didn't know Ben Gannon-Doak was a Celtic boyhood fan. All I knew was he was in their youth teams, and you're correct, mate. If he was, it doesn't matter to me as long as he's prepared to come, and obviously he's a good player into the bargain. 🤔

07 Jun 2026 17:12:41
Ross McCormack was and is a big Celtic fan, never stopped him playing for us.

07 Jun 2026 17:42:24
An old style rumour. I love it. Welcome, mate. I don't care who a player supported when he was younger, as long as they do the business on the pitch for us.

07 Jun 2026 17:51:58
U must be some man, Walter, what u know.

Rally simple have respect for a new poster, his first post pile on, I'm sure he won't post much more.

07 Jun 2026 18:10:38
So John, is your info the same as DavRFC regarding Ben Gannon-Doak. 🤔 What kind of question is that you asked me. 🤔

07 Jun 2026 18:16:13
Michael O'Halloran was a Celtic fan and would go to Parkhead to watch the games when he wasn't playing for Rangers. Antony Stokes was a Celtic fan, and he absolutely hated Rangers with a passion.

There are levels of bitterness and hatred to this. I don't want Celtic fans playing for Rangers, because you can never trust them to give everything.

I don't think Scott Allan gave Celtic everything, as he sat on their bench for 3 years, taking every penny they had, and he isn't even a bitter person.

Is Doak the type of Celtic fan that hates Rangers? Only people closer to him would know that.

07 Jun 2026 18:26:42
Agree, RohlWithCheese, there's levels. Calvin Miller in the Stokes bracket. As you say, others can make the switch. One of my mates actually grew up a Rangers fan and signed for Celtic at 16 and was there for a good few years.

07 Jun 2026 19:02:36
RohlWithCheese, there's been plenty who were fans of the other side & all gave 100%, Scott Allen was overrated & never did anything after Celtic (think he was injured during his time too). The ones that hate us will never sign for us & they'd be the ones who'd not put in the effort.



I think he'd be brilliant for us but Doak is a Lw & something we don't need unless Curtis or Gassama are leaving, we need a Rw or 2.

07 Jun 2026 19:11:12
Djb, I think Allan would have been great for us. Struggled battling his health for years. Good to see him still involved in the game.

07 Jun 2026 19:16:41
Would a cleaner be directly told? Probably not. Could a cleaner be told 2/3rd hand or overheard something? Absolutely. Don't think it will happen though. Welcome Davrfc. More people should join. It will only make the site better.

07 Jun 2026 19:26:15
Think John was just showing some good manners and not ridiculing a 0 0 poster.

That's how it should always be. And, from a well respected poster like John, who always has good info, that's how it should do lads.

Well done John.

I really don't see that move happening either lads, but thanks for sharing the info to the OP.

07 Jun 2026 20:59:15
I'd assume that someone who works at the stadium in any capacity probably knows more than those of us who aren't ITK.
Also, why would it matter if he was a Celtic fan? Neil McCann was a Celtic fan. He's not anymore, I can assure you of that!

07 Jun 2026 21:53:53
Souness, have you heard McCormack telling the story of his 1st Rangers goal? Done the Larsson celebration, totally forgetting. Said he got dogs abuse for it.

07 Jun 2026 22:45:00
Neil McCann was a massive Celtic fan growing up and look at him now.

His family are all still Celtic fans.

07 Jun 2026 22:55:48
I think, if Doak was the type of fan with a hatred towards Rangers, he wouldn't come in the first place, would he?

08 Jun 2026 01:12:01
My mum was high up in education,
She cleaned the 9th floor of a college

08 Jun 2026 12:41:27
Welcome Dav. I appreciate it's your first post, however, that isn't going to prevent me from saying, I regard your cleaner post re Doak as absolute mince.

08 Jun 2026 19:52:21
Walter, how many times do I need to tell, u re rumours, I was told all my info is available in newspapers.
So I'll leave it to papers.

Guys, how many believe Rangers would meet Soaks value of circa 25 million?

07 Jun 2026 13:50:09
Youssef Chermiti Looks to be heading out the door at Rangers £22.5M with add ons up to £26m

Rangers are looking at bringing in Joel Piroe as the replacement.

07 Jun 2026 14:04:50
Where's this coming from?

07 Jun 2026 14:09:45
As much as I would like to see what he achieved next season, that would be good business all round for us.

07 Jun 2026 14:17:08
Piroe and Shankland would be the most immobile strike force I've ever seen. Hope this is not true.

07 Jun 2026 14:37:47
Wishy, Shankland is in no way immobile, mate, and his clever movement and game intelligence more than makes up for his lack of genuine pace. 🤔🇬🇧

07 Jun 2026 14:40:16
Have you info in which club Chermiti is possibly going to, AyrshireTattooist? 🤔

07 Jun 2026 14:49:19
Some of Rangers' best strikers and players had no genuine top end pace, all about game intelligence, composure and decision making.
McCoist
Boyd
Novo
Cooper
Dodds.

07 Jun 2026 14:54:52
The strongest reported interest appears to be from Galatasaray, Porto, Feyenoord, PSV Eindhoven and Besiktas.

To me, if any of the clubs mentioned, I reckon it would be Porto or PSV.

07 Jun 2026 15:04:18
I wouldn't be selling him.

07 Jun 2026 15:50:20
I would happily keep Chermiti another year, but I reckon we simply can't turn down that sort of money for any player. If we sell, we will need another young striker of similar profile.

Piroe will not be joining us. He literally turned down the chance to stay with Leeds and not play.

07 Jun 2026 15:57:41
If Rohl wants to play the pressing game, which is reported, then Shankland and Piroe are not the forward line we will have. It is the weakest part of both their games. So, if we play Shankland, then the other player needs speed to play the press.

07 Jun 2026 16:04:50
Chermiti is probably the best striker in Scotland. Yet, many of our fans are desperate to see him leave. Strange stuff.

07 Jun 2026 16:09:28
If it's a Scottish record fee, he will go this summer.

Good luck to him if he does. 22.5m won't be a fee that would see us sell. Higher.

07 Jun 2026 16:48:38
If true (not doubting but nothing is official), I would like to see a 20% sell on, as he is only going to improve with time. I think if we kept him until next season, and he continues the progression he has been doing, we could easily get a Scottish record fee north of £30m.



However, we do need money to strengthen some areas and if it means we need to, then okay.

07 Jun 2026 17:21:53
Walter, it's not a criticism of Shanks, it's just a fact. He's got many many attributes that make him a great striker, speed and ability to press aren't at the top of the list, mate.

07 Jun 2026 17:31:20
If it's the price OP posted, then 100% he goes, for far too long we've held onto players when their stock was at their highest and came to regret it.

07 Jun 2026 18:04:14
If true, then he isn't going to PSV or Feyenoord. PSV would have to pay double their highest ever purchase of 15mil euro, and Feyenoord would be paying 3 times their highest ever purchase of 9mil euro! Can't see that happening. Which leaves Porto, Fenerbahce, Galatasaray, and Besiktas as the other interested parties.

I personally think he'd play in Turkey, but the opinion of most on here is that he'd never play in Turkey and is too good for the Super Lig. Which then would leave only Porto as his destination.

07 Jun 2026 18:31:10
They'll be laughed at for that price. £30m is the valuation.

07 Jun 2026 19:18:20
He's 21 and still developing. £25 million and £5 million add-ons, 10-20 percent sell-on would be good.

07 Jun 2026 20:45:24
No probability about it, Rohl, Chermiti clearly is the best cf in Scotland.

08 Jun 2026 06:37:09
Chermiti is an extremely talented striker with more to come. 👌 If he starts scoring, shall we see the easier chances then, imo, this young striker could play in any Europe's top leagues with some of the top clubs within those leagues. 👌 I just hope we can keep him for one more season. 🙏🇬🇧

08 Jun 2026 12:44:56
Keep Chermiti until he's called up to Portugal. We will have the benefit of another season and top top price on sale. No brainer.

06 Jun 2026 22:14:47
Seen reports on the Rangers New page that Silas Andersen is supposably on his way for a medical in a deal that is in the range of 6.5m does anyone know if there is any truth in this.

06 Jun 2026 22:29:59
I thought the deal to Sporting was pretty much done deal.

06 Jun 2026 22:32:06
He's in Lisbon for a medical with Sporting, was pictured yesterday.

06 Jun 2026 22:33:35
Looks like he's off for a medical in Portugal, mate, unfortunately.

07 Jun 2026 01:54:07
Think you've misread the article, mate. Cause it says Andersen is on his way to Sporting for a medical and Rangers are suffering heartbreak as a result.

07 Jun 2026 11:31:40
Pity we missed out - thought he'd be a very good signing.

07 Jun 2026 18:18:20
I get the feeling we'll bring Dan Neil and Elliot Watt here. Both of them. Such is our need for a number 6.

07 Jun 2026 18:38:25
If Chermiti goes for those kind of figures, personally I'd like to see us go for Dion Beljo from Dynamo Zargreb.

06 Jun 2026 15:16:57
Any news on pierce Charles think we should sign this lad at any cost.

06 Jun 2026 16:35:24
Said it many times. We don't sign Pierce Charles now we'll never get any other chance, BigjBear.

06 Jun 2026 17:10:01
Sheffield Wed wanting like 10m for him. Likely won't go that high, but his old club Man City are interested also now.

06 Jun 2026 17:23:01
Can't risk spending £10m on him if that's the price.

06 Jun 2026 17:34:15
25/26 - 34 games lost through shoulder injury (2 occasions) - possibly a risk, imo, especially at a big price? 🤔

06 Jun 2026 18:32:11
Both Manchester sides are credited with an interest. If true, we can't match what they offer, but could maybe get him on loan should he go to either.

06 Jun 2026 19:24:19
I've not seen anything of the guy. Is he that special? Honestly, have no idea. No way a League 1 player is going anywhere for 19 million, surely.

06 Jun 2026 19:30:50
The shoulder stuff, he recovered well on both occasions and it was different shoulder each time, also can be quite common for keeper to injure shoulder, hand or wrist.

Like I said before prob one of best I've seen with ball at his feet, handling a bit weak, tends to put ball back into danger area but he's one of best options, certainly better than Patterson.

06 Jun 2026 19:34:55
Forever Rangers, who's Patterson the goalie we're linked with?

06 Jun 2026 20:28:59
Anthony Patterson, Millwall.

06 Jun 2026 20:35:52
Forever, so he has two bad shoulders. Better hurry and sign him.

06 Jun 2026 20:39:00
Patterson was on loan at Millwall from Sunderland, who are rumoured to be looking for £8m - £10m.
Wrexham, Millwall, and Wolves are reportedly interested.

06 Jun 2026 20:46:59
I thought we'd already sorted a new keeper, to be announced? I assumed he'd be our new number 1 whoever he is.

06 Jun 2026 20:52:17
Woodman would be a good signing for Rangers, he's out of contact, but not sure if Liverpool offered him another contract. Always impressed me when watching him playing for Preston.

06 Jun 2026 21:02:07
Well, one thing's for sure, we need a keeper who can use his feet. Butland is, or at least was, an excellent shot stopper, but is unpredictable when kicking the ball oot, tends to go anywhere. Think a top end keeper is a shot stopper who can play with his feet and organise a defence.

06 Jun 2026 21:12:51
I don't think Charles is the answer tbh, two injured shoulders in one season isn't a good look, especially the second one, which kept him out for 24 games. Might be good at the ball with his feet, but it's a goalkeeper for a reason. No point in bringing him in to sit on the treatment table for half the season.

06 Jun 2026 21:23:06
Strong Rumours that we are all in for a German keeper (Ernst?). I would be happy with that - first and foremost I want a keeper who commands the 6 yard box and organises the defence in front of him.

06 Jun 2026 21:35:39
Angus Gunn on a freebie. 🤦‍♂️🤣

06 Jun 2026 21:45:12
Timo Horn is a name that we have been linked to recently.

06 Jun 2026 21:59:56
And when you are in your seventh decade, three years ago is recent.

06 Jun 2026 22:01:06
Aphe has posted Tjark Ernst (GK) a few times, but don't know if Rangers are remotely interested in signing him.

06 Jun 2026 22:04:58
John 2575 your trying too hard i made an assessment of the player a fair one. mentioned his flaws and his attributes as i seen them having been a keeper myself just my opinions

But! You make stuff up at which point did i say we should sign him i said if the club sign him i'd keep Butland or Kelly around him to learn.

At no point did i say i wanted to sign him.

So your cheap shot dig failed i'm really trying to be more considerate of people but your not making that any easier maybe you should look at your own behaviours also.

I respect you as a poster. But reapect can be lost or earned

07 Jun 2026 09:13:41
I ain't seen much of the boy, but the injuries worry me, and we would be stuck with Liam Kelly for a good part of the season. On the flip side, he may never get another injury again, like any signing, it's a gamble.

07 Jun 2026 11:15:45
Forever, I make nothing up. I don't know what u mean by cheap dig. I'll make unhappy and scroll past in future.

Myposghurry and sign him is my view given our history of signing players with an injury history, most recent examples Naderi and Rommens.

Not once do I mention u said we should sign him.

07 Jun 2026 12:08:23
Rommens had missed 6 games in his career so far before he joined us. Not sure I would call that an injury history. Are we only going to sign players with no injury history? Just as well we weren't offered Messi then, who has 49 different injuries across his career. 🤷

07 Jun 2026 12:28:14
Timo Horn (Germany, 33), GK, currently playing for VfL Bochum in Germany, and also played with FC Koln.
Can't say it's a name we have been linked with recently, but might have missed the post.

06 Jun 2026 09:09:59
Any news of deals? Names? Positions? I get the window isn't open, but feels like everyone is announcing people apart from us 🤣 maybe i'm Just impatient 😅

06 Jun 2026 09:39:55
Working on Akpe Victory.

06 Jun 2026 09:44:45
Window opens on 15th, and not back in for preseason till 19th. Still plenty of time.

Some o/o/c players' contracts won't finish till the end of June or July in some cases.

06 Jun 2026 09:47:08
I think we're just a bit impatient just now. I'm sure a ton of work is going on in the background.
Just hope we get recruitment better than last season.
What I will say, though, is we're back for pre season soon enough. It would be nice to have players in to get up to speed asap.

06 Jun 2026 09:52:40
Made some inquiries on Dan Neil during the week, told he's on holiday and won't return until Tue/Wed next week.

06 Jun 2026 09:53:05
Did same thing not happen in January window? I was concerned myself at the time, then we had a flurry of activity.

06 Jun 2026 10:07:23
My star


I think DN will be coming. Likely, as you say, just getting that holiday out of the way, then the announcement, and gives him time to sort out personal stuff before training starts back on the 19th.

06 Jun 2026 10:09:43
Copeland, I seen we had a bit rejected? Any idea if this is true? Fingers crossed he is another Fernandez. 😆 Yeah, Coisty, I know, always the worst part waiting on everything falling into place. Definitely Alex, everyone just wanting to see the improvements, the sooner the new season starts the better, hopefully more luck and more trophies this season! Thanks my star, hope we get Dan Neil over the line, looks decent! Yeah, think you are right Forever.

Here's hoping it's good business! Thank you everyone.

I was playing 7s with a few ex players and some of the coaching team during the week.

General consensus is that a lot of work has been done and it's just about giving the players time to enjoy the off season before we start to make announcements.

There's also a good deal of work getting done at the training centre - which is much needed.

06 Jun 2026 10:32:12
@ Copeland, Basel pushing to sign Akpe Victory according to a lot of journalists and media outlets.

06 Jun 2026 10:43:03
Sharing what I know, being in and around the club, but more so around some of our players' sports management teams.

I think I have shared all this previously.

We have deals done, but I have not heard a whisper as to who those deals are with. I would suggest even our guys ITK have not heard those names either. Those players will be in the door come the first day of pre season.

I can talk to the talks we have held with Graham, Watt, Longelo, Braga, Nathan Patterson, Olly Burke.

Been told Mikey Moore will not be coming back, the club want a more experienced player to compete with Finlay Curtis.

Ashton Scally and Zebedee Lawson will be full members of the squad this year.

The club have pushed the boat out both financially and a competitive game time plan to Finlay Curtis.

Pretty confident he will sign that deal as he loves the club as does his family, although I have heard there have been a few enquiries as to his availability. His team are good, so they will use that to get the best deal for him.
Bailey Rice has an offer on the table, and looks likely he will go out on loan within the SPL from what I was told.

Antman, Bajrami, Butland, Raskin, Nsiala, Macausland, Dio, Danilo; some have deals lined up, others have their management teams busy looking for new clubs for them.

Barring Danilo, the club will only sell those players at their asking price. We will get top dollar for every one of those players, have no doubt.

Fernandez is close to signing an improved deal.

Chermiti has the most interest, I feel he will go, but for big money £20mil plus maybe more.

06 Jun 2026 10:49:47
As I've posted a few times.
Heard Dan Neil will happen.

Still think we will get Skoglund and Victory.

And the Swedish boy Casper Widell.
Along with interest in Amar Fatah.
Luke Graham, Elijah Just, Tyrese Campbell, Deniss Melniks.
Cozier Duberry loan option possibly.
James Penrice doesn't go away.
And also Oskar Fallenious.

06 Jun 2026 10:56:19
I think the talk is Fernandez could well be away. Bundesliga interest, and talk of his agent having an agreement with a side over there on personal terms.


I'd expect Mikey Moore to be back also.
Penrice will sign.

06 Jun 2026 11:04:33
Chermiti has reported interest from Galatasary. I put the post up in sightings. However, all talk of Turkish clubs being interested is usually like a fart in the wind.

06 Jun 2026 11:17:19
AR32

Good post, mate.

That now makes me think the rumours around a few strikers were linked with will have merit then.
If Chermiti goes we have to replace him with another big striker.

Striker names I've seen were linked with.


Tyrese Campbell
Finn Geragusyan
Lorent Toraj
Joe Piroe
Cameron Archer
Braga.

06 Jun 2026 11:58:45
If we let Chermiti go we are making a huge mistake. 1st season of full time football with 20 goal contributions. He will only get better and better. If we sell him for 20million the club we sell him to will ask 60 and get it the next year.

Barring injuries, he is destined to be a great striker. I can see him in Spain, Germany, or even England in 3 to 4 years for crazy money. We under value our players all the time.

06 Jun 2026 12:06:56
Making a profit on Chermiti would be wise.

06 Jun 2026 12:11:49
I have heard rumours that we might have missed out on Akpe Victory, and he is heading to Basel for talks, but these are just rumours, so might not be true.

06 Jun 2026 12:17:59
Burghger, Be a very wise move keeping Chermiti, unless the Scottish transfer record gets blown apart.

06 Jun 2026 12:23:19
Based on nothing but assumption from myself, so therefore opinion, not even rumour and definitely not fact, potentially fantasy (wee nod to MPH). If Chermiti goes, I could see us go for Joel Piroe, but I have a feeling Chermiti will still be here come the end of the window.

The Piroe thing is purely based on previous links and what Marathe said recently.

I'm sure I read somewhere as well that Chermiti has no interest in playing in Turkey, but could have been nonsense.

06 Jun 2026 12:25:04
Stig, as for Skoglund, I see the Hammarby director has come out and said there's been no contact from Rangers.

06 Jun 2026 12:27:03
Read something earlier from Hammarby SD saying there's been no contact for Skoglund from Rangers.

06 Jun 2026 12:29:55
I would be surprised if we sell Fernandez this season. We barely have any defenders as it is.

06 Jun 2026 12:47:22
Olly Burke, jeezo.

06 Jun 2026 12:48:00
Brad, there's a ceiling price in the Scottish league. A mansion in a council estate is nt that desirable. 20mil and a sell on is very good business for him.

06 Jun 2026 13:39:34
I don't think we'll see £30 mil broken in Scottish football for a long time.

06 Jun 2026 13:49:55
Rangers56, I have to disagree. The other lot get better value for their money, and I do not think their players are any better. We must put higher values on our players than maybe haggle down a wee bit. If the first club bids 20, what will clubs bid later? Making the quick buck isn't the way to go.

We complain we don't win titles yet we're talking about selling our best players after one season. The value on Scotland football is only that low because the clubs accept it. I'm not saying demand 50 plus million for players, but being happy with the first bid is why we don't get more.

06 Jun 2026 13:55:16
Good posts guys,

Rangers56, you make a good point there. It is likely that there is a ceiling for Scottish football that clubs will pay, as it is the Scottish game, which has a very poor reputation. imo £20-25m is the ceiling at the moment. Also, we want to take profit when we can.

We have a history of not taking the money and then players go for free or lower value.

I'd like to see us sign Braga. He and Shankland already have a good understanding, and I have to say I thought he was Hearts' best player this season.

06 Jun 2026 14:09:41
Rangers56, completely agree with there being a ceiling price on Scottish based players, however, £25mill of O' Riley and the rumoured £25mill for Engels should be the ceiling. Not £20mill.

I wouldn't be overly keen to sell Chermiti for less than the £25m, even with a 20-30% sell on.

Might be wishful thinking, but in terms of a future & natural talent, he's head and shoulders and we should be digging our heels in more than we have in the past.

06 Jun 2026 14:10:30
Very interesting, the players you name we've had talks with AR. 🤔 I'll start with Longelo, the Motherwell left back mate, as I was also told by a Motherwell youth coach that Rangers are interested in him and if we did sign him that would surely rule out signing James Penrice, and I definitely want us to sign Penrice. 🙏 Always have done. Regarding Olly Burke, I just can't see for the life of me that we've been talking to him and trying to sign him mate. 😲 I also don't think we're trying to sign Braga from Hearts as talking to any of these players who are under contract is a breach of tapping up a player who is under contract with another club. 🤔 I hope we can sign Motherwell midfielder Elliott Watt and have also heard we're most definitely interested and for me he'd be a very good no.6 for us, which we all know we're crying out for.

🙏 Regarding Nathan Patterson, again doubt we'd be trying to sign him because of his horrendous injury issues and would think there's more legs in us after Ross McCrorie as right back. 🤔 I honestly don't know if it's possible that we can get Mikey Moore back on another season long loan deal and that will be decided I would think close to the transfer window closing, but we definitely do know that Danny Rohl definitely wants him back for another season. 🤔 So what's your thoughts overall to my post in response to yours AR. 🤔 I'm not for one second doubting you've heard/been told these things mate, but it's just my opinion with some I just can't see happening TBH mate, not having a go whatsoever here mate. 🤔

06 Jun 2026 14:11:10
The club is in no rush to sell Chermiti so a huge offer would be needed. Think he will still be here as the bigger clubs that could make those big offers will wait to see if he keeps improving and shows more consistency into next season.

Saw Deniss Melniks signed for Falkirk.

06 Jun 2026 14:39:39
Braga for me would be a right good signing. He could be the hybrid forward? Shankland, Braga, Naderi and Chermiti would give you a lot of versatility, goals and potential.

06 Jun 2026 16:16:02
What's getting done at the training ground Ehl?

06 Jun 2026 18:39:45
He's not heard from "any clubs" including us.

06 Jun 2026 18:40:56
Just passing on what I have heard, Walter, I've heard a lot more, but what I've laid out previously is the talks I know of personally.

For instance, I've been told we have been talking to Lewis Fergusons' management team, but I haven't heard of any talks from his management team directly!

I was also told directly that we had signed Kenny Maclean, but he ended up signing an extension.

The club do a very good job of keeping the finer details of all this stuff in house.



I can say with certainty, we are talking to Longelo, Patterson, Burke, Braga, Graham, Watt etc.

But they will be one of 3/4 players in each position we are talking to, so u may also be right in the players u have heard and mentioned on here.

We would both be right then, if that makes sense.

Sure John or one of our ITK posters can clarify all that for u better than I can.

06 Jun 2026 19:10:56
My info not talking to more than Han these players.

06 Jun 2026 19:32:33
Also, do people still forget that you don't need to wait for a contract to expire to sign a player. Last 6month of deal, they are free to sign for whoever they wish.

06 Jun 2026 20:35:41
Sorry, John, not talking to more than what, mate. 🤔

06 Jun 2026 20:57:04
If we sell Chermiti Fernandez and Raskin, I imagine that's close to 50-60 million. I don't want to lose any of the players, but that's some cash we can use towards getting in the 10-12 players needed.

06 Jun 2026 22:37:59
Agree with most, Amo, but it's not happening, we're not getting more than 20 at best. Longer we go, the more we lose.
Just a wee thought experiment though, what do you think Curtis is worth? International, scoring goals, fantastic season in the Scottish Premiership?
Same as Chermiti has potential, but what would you pay for it?

07 Jun 2026 06:44:47
If we are trying to sign Motherwell left back Longelo, that would rule us out of signing James Penrice for me. ☹️ Like I previously said, I was told we are interested in Longelo who has looked good against us, but I'd prefer us to sign James Penrice to compete with Rommens as our left back. 🤔🇬🇧

07 Jun 2026 09:14:46
Rangers56, Chermiti will have some career playing for the best clubs out there. His ability is unreal. Not a chance does he get sold for under 20m. That would be a truly massive mistake selling him for under that fee. Unbelievable talent.
