Rangers Transfer Rumours 4

16 May 2026 11:09:15
Not sure if already been posted but apparently we're after akpo victory. Nigerian centre half from a club in Hungary. 4.3 million the figure quoted with teams around Europe also interested.

16 May 2026 11:41:21
Hopefully he can lead us to victory.

16 May 2026 12:06:13
After doing more digging, it seems the 19-year-old is of a similar mould to Fernandez. At 6'5 he's dominant in the air, has a calmness on the ball, and is able to read danger early. Benfica also interested and has had scouts from clubs in Germany, Spain, and France all monitoring his progress.

16 May 2026 15:06:56
Sounds too good to be true, Dio, so that means it likely will be, esp if Benfica & teams from Germany & Spain are loitering.

17 May 2026 01:09:23
Looks great on YouTube but don't they all.

16 May 2026 11:07:08
Anything in the renewed apparent interest in Finn Geragusian at Sunderland. Mind we were linked previously.

16 May 2026 11:26:24
Don't know much about this player, Fork.
What's your thoughts, any good?

16 May 2026 11:47:32
Some reports this morning saying we're showing interest again. 18yrs old, yet to make his first senior appearance. 25 goals and 10 assists in 60 matches for U18s and 21s. Out of contract this summer, but they're keen to keep him. Plenty of suitors apparently.

16 May 2026 12:46:52
Same here bud, apparently doing OK, called up at 18 to Armenia squad (I know), but kinda in the dark though, a few others looking at him.

16 May 2026 14:34:18
Nice one.
Will have a look when I get a minute at any vids on line. 😊👍

16 May 2026 15:18:42
No worries. 👍

17 May 2026 09:57:52
We don't need 18 year old project players, we need proven journeymen.

16 May 2026 06:05:55
Just heard McClean and Patterson are confirmed for next season, hearing we have also secured our key midfield target for next season from a club in Scandinavia

Can anyone else ITK confirm this?

Also reaffirming my previous post regarding Raskin and Chermiti, the club have multiple big teams interested in both, min combined fees will be at least £36mil

The club have already started talks with Fernandez regarding a new contract

All great business IMO

16 May 2026 08:44:05
If we somehow manage to keep Fernandez, at least we're doing something right somewhere.

16 May 2026 08:44:58
Must be about a £25M sale for Chermiti then, Raskin's buy out clause can't be over 10-15?

16 May 2026 08:46:33
Mclean, yes, he's the type of player/profile we badly miss (a proper Rangers man from a proper Rangers family), also a scheme kid from the circuit in Cambuslang, something every Rangers team needs, ie Ferguson Ferguson Ferguson. 🤣


Patterson, no thanks, he's injured more than Roofe.

16 May 2026 08:57:17
Patterson is not good business, it's complete madness to get a right back that's never fit.

16 May 2026 08:57:46
Chermiti 25m
Raskin 15m. He's worth more, but won't sign a new deal, so it's sell or value starts going down.
Fernandez 20m
Diomande 8m

That's the bones of 70m we are rumoured to be bringing in for these players alone. I would imagine 40m from this would be added to funds to rebuild the squad again over the next 2 windows, but it needs to be spent more wisely, that's last season.



That's without Aasgaard and Gassama being sold, who are both apparently available as well.

The 49ers do this at Leeds, sell a load and bring in others with half that money and do it again the next season. Seems that's what they want to do here.

16 May 2026 09:19:41
AK, how do you know Raskin has a buy out clause?

16 May 2026 09:21:22
Correct, John, it's lost the site a lot of info over the years.

16 May 2026 09:24:53
It's 2 early in the morning.

16 May 2026 09:28:41
That key midfielder may be Hjerto-Dahl or Silas Anderson, hopefully. 🙏🙏🔴⚪️🔵

16 May 2026 09:35:29
Really hope your right mate, but can't see us getting anything like 25m for Chermiti. He's not even worth what we paid for him. And with awful PSR rules in England now, apart from the really top clubs, who's going to pay that?

Top clubs in Europe will pay top dollar for players under 22 who hit double digits for goals in any league in Europe. In the modern data driven era, it draws the attention of big clubs, so 25m isn't too much to ask considering his deal was 11m total to join us.

16 May 2026 09:42:04
There is absolute zero chance of 25mill for Chermiti. Zero! imo.

16 May 2026 09:47:54
There was a midfielder being shown round the other day, wasn't Hjerto-Dahl or Silas Anderson?

16 May 2026 09:55:24
MuscatIn, actually in the modern data driven world goals scored isn't actually a priority metric for most recruitment teams when identifying developing strikers.

16 May 2026 10:02:59
Not a priority, EHL, but under a certain age, scoring over 10 goals alerts some of the bigger teams around Europe could be why Porto and Benfica are being mentioned in regards to Chermiti now.

16 May 2026 10:06:34
20m Chermiti 15 Raskin. Let's do it.

16 May 2026 10:09:09
I can't get behind any rumour/link to Patterson. I get, as a club, we make horrendous decision making, but imagine going into a season with Sterling and Patterson as your two RBs, you may as well start every game with 10 men and save the wages on two less players in your squad.

16 May 2026 10:22:08
Honestly, MuscatIn, it wouldn't, and I'm not saying I agree with it BTW.

They'll be monitoring his XG stats more than anything else, as they are more interested in his ability to get into goal scoring positions than how many goals he scored.

It's a weird quirk of the modern game, but as bonkers as it sounds, but putting the ball in the back of the net has become a secondary consideration when scouting young strikers.



There's some good interviews with Matthew Benham, the Brentford owner, where he explains it.

If I remember, he picks out Beto at Everton as top striker because of how good his XG is, even though his goal return is terrible.

16 May 2026 10:29:05
Chermiti has had a very good season if u ask me.

I think he's a cracking player, he'll have some season next season if we can keep him one more season. I'd say right now his value is EUR20m.

I'd say Raskin is the same.

16 May 2026 10:31:53
If that's the case, considering how many chances he gets, his xg must be very high, which would push his value way up. 25m definitely isn't over the top.

16 May 2026 10:32:51
Ehl, so would Chermiti score well in data driven stats?

Might just be a fan's way of looking at it, but the eye test v data slot of fans would say he's terrible, but in xg per 90 he outperforms Shankland on

g/per90
Xg/per90
G/A/per 90.

16 May 2026 10:37:01
Yeah, that's why he's moved for big money already, MuscatIn, and why he's on a lot of clubs' radars.

16 May 2026 10:42:38
I wouldn't say uh e is terrible. He is young and learning his trade.

I think a lot more to come.
I would like to hold onto him.

Unless a stupid bid of over 20m comes in.

16 May 2026 10:47:21
Burt, How's Chermiti terrible, deary, dear man.

Hope that was Dan Neil, Drew.

16 May 2026 10:54:41
My star, I never said I think he's terrible. I said a lot of fans do or have, until the last few months. I like the big guy, just wish he would have had a Shankland to help him, but hindsight's a wonderful thing.

16 May 2026 10:58:10
Chermiti has every attribute to become a very good striker.
The truth is, the service to him has been shocking most of the season, and most of the time he's up there with nobody near him to help him out at times.

We have wide players who can't cross a ball, and midfielders who like to sit in behind the defence as a sweeper, near enough.



Give him better service and options on the park, he'll score more goals.

Never thought I'd say it, considering how he started the season, but he's actually a very good player.

16 May 2026 11:05:47
Sorry, Burt, never read it properly. Did now.

16 May 2026 11:06:26
Maybe after another season he could be that, but currently don't think he's anywhere near making us that. I hope I'm way wrong.

16 May 2026 11:25:34
No worries, My star, it's hard to get my exact point across in text form. 😅

16 May 2026 11:31:30
Sell before buying will be the plan.

16 May 2026 11:44:43
Muscat, your valuations are a bit of the top you do also know we wouldn't get all that money upfront either? We will not get 25 mill for Chermiti this summer, that's for sure.
We wouldn't get anywhere close to 70 for those.

16 May 2026 12:08:31
Like you, My star, I hope the midfielder that was getting shown around allegedly is Dan Neil. 🙏

16 May 2026 15:14:20
Think Chermiti definitely has potential & I often forget how young he is, but agree he's fallen victim in a similar way Dessers did, poor service from midfield & wingers. I feel most strikers could score goals for us if the service was spot on.

16 May 2026 17:28:04
Strom, you guys also told me last summer, I was talking nonsense and we would never spend 30m in a window or anywhere near 10m on a player and we done both things 😉 😉 😉 Have a little faith.

17 May 2026 11:07:32
I would now goals out for Shankland.
Maswanhise from. Well.
Spittal at Hearts.
Lewis Ferguson.

We need guys proven n tested from here who will hit the ground running.

15 May 2026 19:51:00
Danny Rohl will leave by mutual consent at the end of the season.

Steven Gerrard is favourite to take the reigns back!

15 May 2026 20:00:41
I beg that's true. 😭

15 May 2026 20:06:00
Fingers crossed, Ayrshire.

15 May 2026 20:06:15
Gerrard going to Burnley. He's not an option.

15 May 2026 20:06:32
Gerrard would need a good tactical coach alongside him. Gerrard good front man, but footballing side of the game, I think he struggles.

15 May 2026 20:08:08
Ayrshire, a victory for Falkirk tomorrow, and AC is ready to pull the trigger.

Don't forget who was his no1 choice after RM.

Expect it to be fast tracked.

15 May 2026 20:10:20
Where are you getting this from, Ayrshire? Source of yours? Or are you hoping?

15 May 2026 20:12:39
Probably be Sean Dyche. 👀

15 May 2026 20:14:15
I've not seen one credible link saying Gerrard is going to Burnley btw, seen more saying Eustace to Burnley.

Could obviously be wrong, but not one credible outlet or journo is saying Gerrard to Burnley is on.

15 May 2026 20:19:58
Isn't SG going 2 the Championship with Burnley? But in football things can change in a heartbeat.

15 May 2026 20:22:46
That's good for you, Beef. We all hear and see different things. 👍👍

15 May 2026 20:23:39
we should have public flogging if not true Ayrshire 🤣🤣🤣

15 May 2026 20:38:50
Daniel Cousin Loyal, I'm sorry, but I just don't buy that. If we lose a dead rubber away to Falkirk tomorrow, that will tip AC over the edge, and he's going to sack Rohl. Not for me.

That would be a mad way to run the club. If I'm understanding your post correctly, that would mean the flip side is, if we beat Falkirk in a dead rubber, then he gets to keep his job!

15 May 2026 20:39:33
I honestly think I'd stop watching us if Gerard returned.

So the Mrs would be happy the DIY list would get some attention.

15 May 2026 20:46:14
Ayrshire, sorry to doubt you, mate, nothing personal and just my opinion but I'm absolutely convinced Andrew Cavanagh likes and rates Danny Rohl and will give him time to build his own Rangers team. 🤔 Rohl is liked within our board. 🤔 However, I do think changes are coming within his backroom team and coaches within our academy. 🤔

15 May 2026 20:46:27
Keep posting but it's not showing? I think a lot is going to happen tomorrow,
Good bye DR. and a few players.

15 May 2026 20:47:05
Much prefer John Eustace to Steven Gerrard.

15 May 2026 20:50:12
Please not Gerrard.

15 May 2026 21:03:00
Would welcome SG back and say a big cherio to DR. Let's face it, SG is the only manager to win us a title, you can't get away from that. I'm not convinced SG is even in the frame but would welcome him back with open arms, he raised every standard at our club.

EHL, why the big no?

15 May 2026 21:04:16
Really don't want Gerrard. Think we need experienced man. A Bielsa, Wilder, someone that's been down road with a few teams.

15 May 2026 21:18:19
What we need to remember is that he's held 4 rounds of talks with Burnley, he did that with AC and PM and still walked away from us. Think we need to look forward if DR leaves or is told to leave, not backwards.

15 May 2026 21:18:27
Der Hammer, 5 split games, 5 defeats.

Circa £17m spent in January.

6 wins in 16/17 games against the top 6.


Tomorrow isn't the reason, it's the final nail.

15 May 2026 21:20:07
Jesus, is this last summer again. I can't go through all the Gerrard rumours again.

15 May 2026 21:25:19
His position is to be reviewed this summer.

A win means it will be reviewed, a defeat means it will be fast tracked.

15 May 2026 21:26:30
Wonderful first post at one of the most respected posters on here, what a numpty.

15 May 2026 21:28:17
I'm deciding to trust A Cav & board, we need a statesman like headliner leading us forward, If that's Gerrard so be it. 🥰😍

15 May 2026 21:30:18
SG is the only recent manager with the gravitas to keep the press crowd quiet, the pundits on their toes, get the best out of players, challenge everyone. He is a winner, and we need a winner's mentality back to Rangers. He brought that back and that has slipped back.

15 May 2026 21:31:15
Lol, u took the post away, was answering 001. 😉👍

15 May 2026 22:16:56
Beef, Alan Nixon, who's pretty accurate with his English reporting, not so much Scottish reporting, has confirmed Gerrard has held multiple talks with Burnley. Keith Wyness also mentioned he is Burnley's favourite but not the only option.

Burnley have massive plans to finally establish themselves as a Premier League club and believe Gerrard could kickstart that journey.

15 May 2026 22:24:49
Rohl may stay or may go.

I've had a shoe in last two times Gerrard was wanted and he decided not to take up the offer.

I haven't heard anything this time around, and he may well be AC first choice, but I don't think he will take it this time either.


Burnley look to be offering him the terms he wants, and it could be the stepping stone he needs and wants.
Look how it worked out for Vincent Kompany.

15 May 2026 22:35:21
EHL, what's your reasoning for not liking Gerrard? Is it anything personal from when you worked together? As he's the last manager to win us a title, I don't get the dislike for the only manager to win the league since Walter.

15 May 2026 22:46:22
Wishy, there's plenty reasons, but the main one is he simply isn't good enough and wouldn't change anything. But, you know, I'd like us to get Gerrard back and buy Scottish born Rangers supporters and continue to win absolutely hee haw. It would mean we could put this mad notion behind us.

15 May 2026 23:11:33
Gerrard definitely wouldn't be my first choice as manager.

I 💯 think a change is needed, as Rohl is simply not working, and honestly, I can't go into next season knowing full well he's going to get sacked and it's another pathetic season on the cards.

Be that, Gerrard I'm unsure, but no doubt the links to him will continue.

15 May 2026 23:21:39
Would love to see Stevie back tbh.

15 May 2026 23:46:11
Bee82, was going to say exact same.

Gerrard / Muscat / McInnes, that's all we're going to hear.

We're stuck in an infinite loop of pain. Same potential managers / players thrown up all the time.

15 May 2026 23:52:25
Not Gerrard, not Muscat, not McInnes, and definitely not Ferguson. If Rohl goes, it needs to be a proper, proven manager, not an old boys appointment.

16 May 2026 04:06:25
Want Rohl gone. But we did not spend 17 million in Jan. Let's not just make figures up.

16 May 2026 06:19:22
Ok, who would your choice be, Trd? 🤔

16 May 2026 06:40:07
At least Rohl is away, that's the main thing. 4 defeats in a row, possibly 5, is sacking material.
You should never be rewarded for absolute failure, which is how this season ended.

It's heartbreaking stuff. However, another new manager is required. There's many good managers out there. Oneil came into a team playing awful and completely turned it around.
So it can be done.

16 May 2026 07:17:37
Peter Pan loyal

£3.5m for Rommens
£5m on Naderi
£4.5m on Chukwuani
£2.5m loan fee for Skov Olsen

We definitely spent minimum £15m.

16 May 2026 07:24:32
Wishy, I wasn't at the club when Gerard was there, I joined under Clement.

So it's nothing personal.

Just feels like another example of the desperate short term decision making that's crippled us for over a decade.

16 May 2026 07:54:56
EHL, so if SG were appointed and you unfollowed us, then we went on to win the league next season, you wouldn't be back following on? You do know we won the league weeks before the end of the season, so where is it written that he couldn't do that again? imo there was a big problem with Thelwell and Stewart before.

This issue has been removed. Is he not worth a chance, given he has won it before?

16 May 2026 08:11:19
How's about the Kilmarnock manager? And that lad Curtis, well worth a look inall, is he no? Some daftie sent him out on loan and persisted with non triers non scorers and wasters.

Sterling can't play on plastic, so will the superstar Aarons play v Falkirk, you know thinking long term. Like till Monday?

16 May 2026 08:12:25
Seeker, I think you missed the flipancy in my throwaway comment.

I assumed it'd be obvious that I'd be back once I'd made a mess of the first DIY task.

It's not written that we couldn't do it again - but it's my opinion that we wouldn't.

16 May 2026 08:14:32
Honestly, SWS, I'd go for Dyche at the moment. It might not be pretty, but think he'd do the job. There may be others on the continent, but not that clued up.

We'd all love silky high scoring football, but that's not a priority.

Hate to say it, but when you look at what Mon has done, they win games and tight games too. We need that.

16 May 2026 08:29:51
We need to be hard to play against first and foremost, it's how titles are won.

My choices would be:

McInnes. Knows the league, has done well on budgets way under what he would get here and is a Rangers man, also isn't afraid to call out the refs.


Muscat. Fast, attractive football. Has won titles in a couple of countries.

Knows the club and expectations.


Robinson. Knows the league, gets his teams hard to beat & well organised, won a cup with St Mirren, is a Rangers man and knows what the league requires.

We need managers/head coaches who know the game here and know what is required at a club like ours, no more project Championship super coaches.

16 May 2026 08:45:14
Ehl, fair enough. 👌

16 May 2026 09:31:16
Ehl, your knowledge of coaching, tactics, analysis, sport science, fitness training etc are unsurpassed on this site.

I would say, with all the courses, exams and training you have done, and I, like many others, really value your opinions on these matters.

The one subject I would say, all your knowledge does not come into play, is who constitutes a good choice of Manager/Head Coach at Rangers.

At the time of Rohl's appointment you loved the idea of him getting the job instead of Gerrard, which you based on their respective coaching abilities, which would be a fair point in isolation.

However, a lot of fans like me of an older generation grew up with great Managers like Bill Nicholson at Spurs, Shankly, Busby, Clough, Paisley, Ferguson and at Rangers Souness, Smith.



They all had an authority and presence about them that gave fans and players alike a belief in them. They were all figureheads, leaders, motivators, man managers, etc.

While you championed Rohl as a highly regarded up and coming coach Ehl, I would contend he is so lacking in the personal qualities that the great Managers of the past had.

In short, he is unsuited for the Rangers job, as he lacks so many personal qualities, and so far he has often been found wanting tactically in both SPL and in Europe.

Can I ask Ehl, do you think he should be given another season, and if so, what be your reasons?

16 May 2026 09:44:25
Gd post n gd question, be nice to hear your take, Ehl, as you have probably more insight than most bud. 👍

16 May 2026 10:09:32
Once a Ranger, yes.

In recent years I'd say the following.

GVB & PC, sacked far too soon in reaction to off field pressure, as both were experiencing short term pain with a view to long term gain.

MB should never have been appointed, and every minute he was at the club set us back.

BF & SG both great leaders, but both so driven by the need to win that they leave a trail of collateral damage that we aren't in a position to sustain.

Look how quickly Villa pulled the plug on SG and how quickly UE recovered - Villa could see what was happening and knew they needed to act quickly.

DR, I'd bracket with GVB and PC, although I would say PC has a considerable edge in terms of experience. Given time, these guys can build the foundations that we need to be successful in the modern game. Will that automatically translate to on pitch success? Probably not.

16 May 2026 10:28:26
Well explained Ehl. 👍

16 May 2026 10:51:41
Tjbb, on the manager front, he is not a winner. Failed at last two clubs. No one else has shown until last month or so any interest.
Effectively still unemployed.

Covid title against a poor Celtic side who never strengthened.


How many years to win title?

Not my idea of a winner.

If I was to put his manager credentials in front of you, without the name. Would you honestly say that's the guy for us?

16 May 2026 11:01:03
Good post Ehl.

16 May 2026 11:16:49
Gerard's not for me either. He's a figurehead manager. I want to see a manager at Ibrox whose team plays with intensity, pace and guile. I know it won't happen overnight, but we need stability, continuity and consistency.

16 May 2026 11:37:58
Let's enjoy this final crucial cup final from our 45 minute team. Will Dans 2 big signings get on the park today? Will the Falkirk left winger rip us a new one, absolute shambles and becoming even worse than the Martin, Thelwell and the wee alien CEO time.

I feel sorry for real triers like Barron, Moore, Rommens having to play with these assorted chancers.

16 May 2026 20:44:31
You speak a lot of sense, to be fair to you, Ehl, always good to read your insight on things. I loved Gio and wish he got more time, and more of a say on transfer targets. It was shameful the players he was given after that Euro final he took us to.

15 May 2026 18:33:38
anybody know who the trialist is in u17 game tonight

15 May 2026 21:42:37
It was me, Trueblue. I played great.

15 May 2026 22:37:41
Pleased for you, Mols. 🤣🤣

16 May 2026 10:09:14
He said under 16s Mols not unser 71s. 😎🤣

15 May 2026 13:54:57
Just heard that we are currently looking at a young German striker playing in Denmark, Youssoufa Moukoko. I remember when he burst on to the scene at Dortmund a few seasons back. My friend says would cost us between 7 and 8m and he think we would make a mint if he reaches his potential

15 May 2026 14:22:42
He was the next big thing at Dortmund, mate. He was a wonder kid on FM. Would like us to go and get a more experienced striker if he were to sign him.

15 May 2026 14:37:09
Yes, a striker, as we don't really have one, not since Dessers.

15 May 2026 15:09:29
Is he a goal scorer because that is what we need? Age doesn't worry me, just track record in scoring. A 20+ a season goal scorer may (and a big may!) have got us over the line.

Any more info on the guy?

I understand there are a good number of posters that support Chermiti, but for me his goal output isn't good enough, so we need someone to do that for us.

15 May 2026 15:29:22
Not a prolific striker. Although he has had a very good season at Copenhagen. Would probably be a good foil for either Naderi or Chermiti.

15 May 2026 15:41:08
I'm a keen admirer of Dortmund (Been over to watch quite a few games over the years), so I know a little about this boy. He's the one that they can't pin his real age down. He's 21, but there's a claim he is actually 24 or 25.

He was a goal machine at youth level, but hasn't hit the expected heights. Could do a job for us, but I'd steer clear with the drama that's involved around his age and birth certificate etc.

15 May 2026 16:22:33
Prolific, experienced striker who will get us 20+ goals a season is what we need to sign?

15 May 2026 16:27:18
Was Liverpool and Chelsea not tracking him a couple of seasons back, valued at 60 million if same lad? 🤔

15 May 2026 17:09:31
An interesting player. He played in the World Cup for Germany v Japan. That alone suggests he has something.

Although we could do with a striker, we are top goalscorer in the league. We need three starting defenders, all an upgrade on what we have.

15 May 2026 17:14:49
This lad broke all sorts of records at youth level and even played for Dortmund, scoring for them at a young age. I'm not sure how he had his fall from grace or why he failed to live up to the early promise.



But if he can live up to that promise with us, then we would make an absolute fortune on this lad, just not worth the risk at that value though.

15 May 2026 17:19:58
Scored 5 in 5 this season.
Scored 9 in 21 games last season, or something very similar last season, read it not that long ago.
Wonder kid a few seasons ago and only 22 years old.
Tied up until 2030, will Copenhagen sell him? Only signed last season.

15 May 2026 17:42:52
Think he was a wonder adult in a kids league, as said he was meant to be 24 when he was apparently saying he was 20.

15 May 2026 18:12:38
Copenhagen and Koppen have had a worse season than us, so this player will be looking for European football next season, which we can offer.

15 May 2026 19:47:12
This is when we miss A. Sorry, can't remember his name, from Norway he could give us a thumbs up or down.
So come back, we all love your inputs. 😭🤞

15 May 2026 19:51:09
Probably what we need a small fast foil to one of the 3 big guys we have. I personally think Chermiti will be sold, and Miovski and Naderi will do a lot better for us next season, maybe more hope than anything else. What we really need is wingers who will get numbers and help the defence.

I think a solid right back who can actually defend will make a massive difference to us next season. I've never been a fan of Tav defensively. He's always been prone to a brain fart or 3. 🫣

15 May 2026 20:10:24
Still have Danilo to come back, Mustcatin. 👀

15 May 2026 20:14:21
How do u know he's not here already, scrambled, a few new names appearing. 🙄

15 May 2026 20:15:48
Club legend Danilo 👀 can't wait for him to light up the league again.

15 May 2026 20:22:09
I think we could do a lot worse than bring Robbie Ure back to Rangers he has started this season on fire our in Sweden with his club Sirius sitting top of league out there due to his goals. No idea how much it would cost to get him but would imagine 5m euro wouldn't be far away from what Sirius would expect.

15 May 2026 21:05:16
Rehab FC. Again.

15 May 2026 21:40:59
I said, "No, no, no". 👀

16 May 2026 09:07:41
We had an experienced 20+ goal striker and for the life of me can't remember what happened to him, oh wait, the majority wanted him out for not being good enough. 🤦‍♂️

15 May 2026 11:25:06
More to come out in the next few days on Tavernier not playing last night. All is not well with Danny Rohl and the squad are unhappy and at how last nights events transpired. They all back Tav. 🫡

15 May 2026 11:47:56
They certainly don't all back Tav and unfortunately the truth won't come out, as the club are better than that.

I'm sure there will be plenty of spin being spun though.

15 May 2026 11:49:53
Same year problems, a split dressing room once again. These players have a lot of balls considering they've done heehaw for our club.

15 May 2026 12:01:29
I don't believe all the players back Tav. Actually, I think it's less than it's portrayed. They can respect Tav and disagree with the manager's decision without backing either side.

15 May 2026 12:02:52
Do people genuinely think it's acceptable as the captain to throw a strop like this given the end to this season? 2nd place isn't acceptable, never mind 3rd.

Yet we have a leader/captain kicking off because he's not starting as he wanted, applause and recognition. You wouldn't do that to your boss in any other workplace, so why should it be acceptable here?

It's disrespectful to the club, the manager and the fans.

Wholly unprofessional too.
The manager picks the team, the player himself admitting an injury.
It's poor form and probably reveals more to us about Tav that only those behind closed doors would see.

15 May 2026 12:06:42
Danny wanted what was best for the team. Tav wanted what was best for Tav. Simple as that.

15 May 2026 12:20:28
Danny Rohl wanted what was best for the team. We lost our 4th game in a row.

What Rohl is doing clearly is wrong, otherwise we'd be winning.

15 May 2026 12:21:14
Moore's interview gave more detail than Rohl's today. Get behind our players instead of blaming them. Now we all know Tavernier is a blamer, blaming other players for him not making a simple pass or mistakes.

15 May 2026 12:22:33
If they don't all back him, why are they all liking and reposting his insta post, Ehl?

15 May 2026 12:24:20
Ehl, I get the impression you're not a Tav fan. Is Ego the issue with him?

15 May 2026 12:28:29
What was to stop Tav leading out the team with his kids, then taking a place on the bench to get game time at some point? He wanted to play. That's not his choice. He's been childish.

15 May 2026 12:29:04
Never said he got everything right, Chasni, but he was thinking about the team. Tav was only thinking about himself.

15 May 2026 12:29:39
Interesting. I have heard similar.

15 May 2026 12:45:57
Wishy, I obviously can't answer on behalf of those players. However, what I would say is that a large portion of those Insta accounts are managed by third parties, who use software like FollowLiker or PhantomBuster that are configured to automatically like posts from fellow players.

15 May 2026 12:46:15
Agreed, Ehl, and what's being said about all the players backing Tav is mostly stemming from the fact the social media post has been liked or shared, that doesn't automatically mean they love Tav and hate Rohl.
Another thing to note, and what most people forget, these accounts are not their own personal social media.

Some players run them, some don't.
Another season passes by and I don't know about anyone else but I just want this season finished.

15 May 2026 12:50:01
Rohl is trying to orchestrate his own sacking. He told Tav he would start, then changed his mind. This nonsense Rohl is doing, what's best for club, is simply that, nonsense. Absolute dead rubber on Wednesday. No need to do what he did.

15 May 2026 12:52:12
You've answered the same time as me there, Ehl, but yes exactly as I was saying.

15 May 2026 12:55:38
Great minds think alike, Wullie - literally posted something similar.

Heard a few things I can't share, but one thing that did interest me, that I can, is that the club did not sanction Tav's announcement about leaving and had specifically asked him not to announce it at that time.



The sooner this season is over, the better, but there's a lot needing done within the club before we can start to feel optimistic again.

15 May 2026 12:57:10
That's a good point, to be fair, mate, I didn't think of that. Surely the players will be havin a word with the people running it, as it's basically in open defiance of the manager liking and reposting it.

15 May 2026 12:58:53
Why start Tav against Celtic in a game that means something and then not start him in a game that means nothing if he thinks Sterling is the better option. Also, the final game against Falkirk is on Astro, so Sterling probably wouldn't play.

15 May 2026 13:01:55
I knew that he went rogue with that insta post announcing he was leaving EHL. It was very strange, and the wheels seem to have fallen off since. Is there a big split in the dressing room since?

15 May 2026 13:05:52
Blue, you've missed out Tavernier's injury.

15 May 2026 13:11:25
Wishy, the two biggest issues we have at the moment are fitness. I have said a few times that we don't actually have 11 players who are regarded as fit to play for 90 minutes, and also motivation, as between 12-14 players have been told they do not have a future at the club.

The later usually happens at this time of year and has probably caused a bigger issue for us, as we are so short on numbers that we're then having to ask players we've advised aren't wanted to put their bodies on the line.



That's why I said pre-split that I suspect we'd limp towards the finish line - which seems optimistic, as we are apparently crawling towards it.

15 May 2026 13:20:39
Nobody has answered the real issue over all this, if Tav hurt his ankle against Hearts why was he asked to play in the Celtic game? Sterling was sitting there having a rest as he does more often than not. Why wasn't he playing in that game? Tav is now "too injured" according to Rohl to play the Hibs game. Well, playing with an injury can't help.

I just hope that, as well as Tavernier leaving after 11 years of good service, that Souttar and Sterling are also booted after a couple years each of very little service.
There's even talk now of having to play Aarons against Falkirk because Sterling won't be risked on the plastic. What is he saving himself for now, his holidays?

15 May 2026 13:31:45
Well that's been answered by EHL, wsl. Very few of the players are fit, and very few want to play. Sterling is injury prone. Chances are he wasn't fit. Sterling, also at fault for goals against Motherwell and Hearts, could have been a reason for dropping him.

15 May 2026 13:51:19
EHL, I take it you think Danny Rohl will still be our head coach for next season, mate. 🤔

15 May 2026 14:05:09
Just a wee observation, but things have appeared to go downhill since the passing of Jimmy Bell. I know he was only the 'Kitman'; however, he was always available to advise both Managers and Players on everything Rangers. I feel the club are missing that type of character around the place.

15 May 2026 14:36:42
For 1, all the players don't back Tav. Supposedly, Tav has been an issue in the dressing room for some time now. For me, tho. Tav was told he was leading the team out with his kids as mascots, and then his son going on afterwards for ball boy.

Think it's a bit dirty from Rohl telling him that, then changing it, truth be told. I get it's not the Tav show, but why would Rohl tell him that in the first place to take it away from him?

15 May 2026 14:44:24
He was injured for the Celtic game, so that argument won't wash (a game he shouldn't have started in). As for dr doing best for team, come on, it was a dead rubber game and he could have changed the full 11.

Not been Tav's biggest fan, but a thought he would get the first hour of game. First time I've seen large Qs for programmes as well, and a think slot went to the game to see him off or attendance would have been a lot lower.

15 May 2026 14:53:38
I look at the previous seasons and similar things happened. What is the one thing broadly the same?

The core of the squad and the senior players.

They chucked it for Beale. They chucked it for Phil when it mattered. Barry Ferguson couldn't really get success out of them either. Forget Rm because he couldn't get a tune using an autotuner!

I know this sounds drastic, but I'd put every single one of them on a list to get rid of over the next 1-3 transfer windows no matter if they are good or not.

I've got the point. I don't trust any of them - harsh, I know. It will take time, but it needs a clean broom, everything else has changed and the core of the squad hasn't.

As for Tav, I was a supporter of Tav until now. The manager chooses the team full stop. Real legends like McCoist and Durrant weren't selected to play by Walter to show them who the boss was - they didn't like it, but it was accepted.

This will have impacted the result for sure too.

15 May 2026 15:00:12
There's been one constant during the last 4 managers who apparently lost the dressing room, and he spat the dummy the other night. I heard that the club were caught unaware with Tav announcing he was leaving on his social media. He was offered a new 1 year deal on reduced wages, was told he wouldn't start and wouldn't be captain - Tav refused this and told the club he was leaving.

The club asked him not to announce it, but when he did, it seems to be a case of what is good for Tav and not the club.

15 May 2026 15:51:03
The initial post is made out to be an ITK post, but all it is is 3 things put together into one post that they have seen on here. Utter drivel.

15 May 2026 16:02:00
Interesting take away from Moore at press conference.

He said results are down to players. Mikey suggested that the players didn't have each other's backs when the going gets tough, more drive required, and not got together as a team enough! That to me suggests senior players and captain could do a lot more.

This is the core group we are talking about. He spoke very well imo. Just a pity we can't afford him as he gets it.

Was also critical of himself and reminds me of Graeme Souness talking as a pundit at the World Cup a few years back when he said something along the lines of the difference between top players and good players is that good players will blame the tactics, the formation, the weather, the pitch, the hotel the night before i.e.

blame someone or something else. Top players look at themselves in the mirror and also assess what they could have done better. Mikey will be a top player in time. I wish him all the very best.

15 May 2026 16:31:53
Hoth, I don't think Moore suggests it. He is very clear: backing, support is poor.

He spoke very well imo.

15 May 2026 17:52:55
I agree, John. I haven't listened to the full presser with Moore, but he has an old head on young shoulders and seems more emotionally mature than some of our senior players.

We haven't played like a team the past 4 games. It's disappointing to see.

15 May 2026 18:27:15
Moore has the attitude required to go to the top. Just don't know if his lack of pace will hold him back. Not often I love any loan players his age, but he's been a breath of fresh air and always gave his all. He will leave with my best regards, and I'll always hope he does well wherever he goes.

15 May 2026 19:37:16
James Tavernier has been at the centre of every revolt against managers, every split dressing room, every team downing tools over the years. 👍 I don't like Rohl, but Tav was captain through years spent at the club, not leadership skills or attitude.

15 May 2026 20:09:45
You make an interesting point, EHL 2020

" 12-14 players have been told they do not have a future at the club.
The latter usually happens at this time of year and has probably caused a bigger issue for us, as we are so short on numbers that we're then having to ask players we've advised aren't wanted to put their bodies on the line."

I'm glad whoever these 12-14 players are going. It just shows their characters that they'd down tools because of this.

It's bad patter imo. At the moment, they are still employed by the club, there was still a title to play for- I'd have thought they'd have wanted to leave with that on their CVs, but looks like their over inflated egos have got the better of them and it's been harmful for the club. Seems they only think about themselves! Good riddance I say! Forget who pays their astronomical wages!

15 May 2026 21:06:49
Ehl, sorry but taking blue tint glasses of the club is not better than that and has not been for some time.

15 May 2026 22:07:39
No player is bigger than our club, including Tav. He is a legend. He will always be remembered for what he has done, but questions need to be asked if he should have stayed as captain multiple times throughout the seasons gone.

I don't pretend to have inside information, but from what I have heard, there are some who think others are a better choice for captain and have for a while.



Tav also will get to walk out as captain, at Ibrox, with his boys as mascots, when he has his testimonial, so his petulance was not needed and his support behind the team was.

Hopefully, this summer clear out will be what turns this ship around, as we have been heading towards the iceberg for years now.

15 May 2026 22:56:06
Super72, is Tav getting a testimonial?
