Rangers Transfer Rumours 5

29 Jul 2026 10:30:32
Bajrami will be a loan with option.

29 Jul 2026 10:43:55
Why do we struggle to get rid of these types of players? Surely someone would pay a decent fee for them, like 1mil or something just to get them off the books, so annoying just seeing them loaned out year after year until they eventually leave for nothing (most likely).

29 Jul 2026 10:58:09
Neilgd, we struggle because, with a lot of these players, we pay them a salary that is well above what most clubs outside the top ones will pay, and they aren't good enough for the top ones, hence why we get stuck with them, like Ben Davies, etc.

29 Jul 2026 10:59:48
They've not been good enough to sell for a decent fee and clubs buying at less than a million or two aren't going to be paying the wages that some of these boys are on.

Also, if it is a club looking at Bajrami that sees 1-3m a big outlay, they absolutely want a try before you buy.

29 Jul 2026 11:02:15
It just gets worse. This was supposed to have been done and dusted ages ago. What happened?

29 Jul 2026 11:07:35
Loan with an option! As predicted. We haven't yet ever had a team exercise such an option. I'd sooner say to the team we will take half or even less of that now than wait on that option. I predict a unicorn will win the Grand National before a team decides Bajrami is worth buying after seeing him in a loan spell.

29 Jul 2026 11:11:26
Would you rather he stayed and not played? We can't make another club buy a player off us.

29 Jul 2026 12:37:56
He'll be back in January, next June at the latest. Another Matondo, Danilo, Cortes, Davies etc etc type deal.

29 Jul 2026 12:41:24
Or we don't play them, so clubs can't see what they are currently like, so they don't want to risk that he isn't the same player he was when we bought him. So, like, what we do will the player be good enough to play for us, and also meet the demands placed on him. So loan with an option works for both clubs really: we get rid of his wages (or part of them) and a player we won't play, and they get a try to see if it works.

We do exactly the same.

It is different with players we play, as clubs normally pay a fee for them as they have seen what they are getting.

29 Jul 2026 12:43:42
The boy's a good player, just don't know his exact position, he's one of the ones who I think would get a perm transfer if out on loan.

29 Jul 2026 12:52:28
We struggle to shift them because they're on long contracts and high wages.

29 Jul 2026 15:51:05
And the reason they are on the long contract and high wages is that we need to offer that to attract any players at all.

29 Jul 2026 10:28:44
Luton are reportedly monitoring McCausland.
Hopefully that one is accelerated soon.

29 Jul 2026 10:44:18
Permanent deal please! Even if it's relatively cut price, just get him out.

29 Jul 2026 11:19:49
I would keep McCausland.

29 Jul 2026 12:03:33
Rfc22, why? He's showed nothing that he's ready to take the step up.

29 Jul 2026 12:30:40
22, You want to keep a player that can't get into the squad. 😂😂😂

29 Jul 2026 12:39:02
He's showed more than Antman ever has.

29 Jul 2026 13:01:14
Ah, that's why McInnes didn't play him when we had no option on the right. Hmmm.

29 Jul 2026 14:34:12
Keep him? For the what? He is nowhere near good enough.

29 Jul 2026 10:15:26
No Mikey Moore in the Spurs squad today, not even a sub!

Could be something, could be nothing.

Anyone any info?

29 Jul 2026 10:42:14
I really wouldn't be surprised if he comes on a permanent basis.

29 Jul 2026 10:49:02
I would be surprised, as his wages, I think, alone would be quite high.

29 Jul 2026 10:50:06
Nothing, he's got a virus.

29 Jul 2026 10:50:52
Stig, how much would that cost us?? Too much imo.

29 Jul 2026 10:58:44
No chance permanent, loan maybe an outside chance, think Spurs would want him at a better league than ours.

29 Jul 2026 11:46:45
Agree, Fork, that Spurs would encourage a better league, mate, but the player will have final say on t, bro. I think he'll choose to return if McInnes wants him.

29 Jul 2026 12:43:58
Not sure player has final say and reckon that would go along the lines of Spurs want him to move. He says no and they dump him in reserves. They aren't like us and need a wage off their books fo
r a while to allow them to pay another player the same on loan.
No club wants the player to have that much power, surely.

29 Jul 2026 13:03:05
He won't return and don't want him on a loan, why waste loan money again for zero return. We didn't win the league last year so no guarantee we would win it this year with him.

29 Jul 2026 13:18:53
I don't doubt he'd want to come back, Stevie, but Spurs may want other avenues, a sterner challenge than our league, bud. 👍

29 Jul 2026 14:10:35
Angus, a player going out on loan, the biggest thing is looking if the player will be happy there, mate. No point sending him to Germany if he's rubbish at foreign languages and doesn't want to leave the country, is there? Simply the player can refuse, then there's an issue.

U then have likely taken a 3rd off their transfer value by falling out.

If he's previously had a successful loan here and that's why top euro clubs want him on loan, then the safe thing to do is send him back and hope he does it again and u can sell at a high value next summer.

29 Jul 2026 14:11:15
Fork, I think that would be best for the lad too, mate. From selfish point of view I hope he gets his say.

28 Jul 2026 23:30:42
Johnny yfeko set to sign for killie

29 Jul 2026 07:10:50
Left us a few years ago. His Mrs is from up here, so I assume that's why he'll be back up.

29 Jul 2026 09:10:10
I liked that lad. Seemed like a versatile prospect, but the merry go round of managers left many young players behind.

29 Jul 2026 09:59:23
That's just the Rangers way and nothing really to do with management changes. The pressure to win every single game doesn't allow us to develop players, just in case we lose and the manager is that hammered for the loss. We never seem to get a comfortable enough lead to then bring on the young ones later.

29 Jul 2026 10:18:34
True, Geesa, but other big teams seem to manage to play youngsters as part of their first team, so it must be possible. Is the issue really that they don't have any place to develop beyond 19? But how do others play players younger than that? We aren't more demanding than Liverpool or Man United, who play their youngsters.

Not sure of the answer, but it is an issue.

29 Jul 2026 11:03:42
I liked the lad. He should've been nursed into the team at left back so he could make some mistakes out wide, then tried in easier games at centre back and took from there. He was fired in at centre back then punted.

I rated him.

29 Jul 2026 11:20:39
I think he will do well.

29 Jul 2026 12:54:11
No idea if he was good enough tbh, didn't see him enough. Hopefully he does well at Killie.

28 Jul 2026 23:29:20
As said and now reported, Antman leaving on a permanent.

£4.5 million to Anderlecht.

29 Jul 2026 05:48:35
Fantastic news!

29 Jul 2026 06:05:15
Excellent news and best of luck to the lad, it just didn't work at us.

29 Jul 2026 06:26:24
I echo that Dado 👍 Antman just didn't work at Rangers and that happens with signings unfortunately. 🤔🇬🇧

29 Jul 2026 06:56:28
Somehow we're making a profit, so that's great news. Wish him well.

29 Jul 2026 06:58:11
After his 1st game for us, I, like many others, thought we had bagged a player. Well, how wrong were we?! I really hoped it would have worked out for the boy, but hey ho. Good luck to him.

29 Jul 2026 07:06:05
Great info, good luck to him, and making money is always a good thing. 🇬🇧

29 Jul 2026 07:23:24
You called it, Bear1986. Great info. Keep it coming.
A tidy profit for a player, it just didn't work out for at Rangers. Chuffed at this one. Now go get Cerny, Rangers, please.

29 Jul 2026 07:47:40
Seemed like Martin ruined him. That first game in Europe, he looked an absolute star, Gassama too, then they were choked of creative freedom by the floppy-haired radge's terrible playing "system". Seemed to really affect their confidence. McInnes may well have been able to turn that round, but cashing in for a profit was probably the right decision. Clean slate and fresh start elsewhere.

29 Jul 2026 08:20:32
Anferlecht would be a good fit. They were heavily linked with a move for Maswhanise, and the package was leaked to media before Maswanhise picked up an injury. They had a bid turned down for Cozier-Duberry, so are obviously looking for a wide option.

Twente Enchede would struggle to match his personal terms. Derby should also be able to meet the demands. A good outcome for the player and club if he can move on and resurrect his career.

29 Jul 2026 08:22:07
Good to move players on who are not in manager plans. Antman clearly a good player who simply didn't work out.

Hopefully, will accelerate his replacement.

29 Jul 2026 08:29:41
Martin ruined him with his possession mince at all costs. First game he was excellent, then coached the part when he went by players out of him.

29 Jul 2026 08:38:40
Record saying Derby County also in for Antman.

29 Jul 2026 08:42:16
Martin was a cabbage, but we really need to stop this excuse of him "ruining" Antman. Martin was only in charge for 17 games, which Antman played less than that under him, so please.

And this is from someone who absolutely despised Martin and called him out from before he signed.

29 Jul 2026 08:47:41
Your thoughts vinegar ti#s not mine. 😉👍

29 Jul 2026 09:07:09
Seems like it's a good move for him if that's the case - he looked off the pace on Sunday. Granted, he's barely kicked a ball in 6 months. His injuries since the start of last season seem to have knocked the wind out of him, such a shame after his first few games.

29 Jul 2026 09:09:59
Totally with u on this one, Fork. Martin bizarrely slated him after that 1st performance and u could visibly see how his confidence was shattered almost immediately. So, can definitely blame Martin for 1st half of the season. Major injuries stopped him having the chance to regain any confidence afterwards. Wish the lad well in the future. Sad it never worked out here.

29 Jul 2026 09:13:18
The ability that Antman came with wasn't ruined by RM. He just hasn't had a chance to play regularly in the role he had in Holland. He's still got a bright future, I reckon.

29 Jul 2026 09:37:16
Actually, really liked the look of Antman but he appeared to be a player really struggling with confidence.

Always wanted him to get at defenders or be positive, but too often seemed to play the safe option.

I have no doubts he will most likely flourish in a less pressured and scrutinised environment.

Reinforces how you need to be much more than a talented footballer to play for Rangers. Character and mentality are so important.

29 Jul 2026 09:48:08
Antman will be on fire over there in a harder league than ours.

29 Jul 2026 09:59:47
Great news, Antman is the most timid reluctant winger I've ever seen.

29 Jul 2026 11:24:15
It's all well and good, fans stating good let's get rid of him etc. He is a winger with great stats in the Netherlands, we now have no wingers. Gassama doesn't fit that mould, and Curtis, in my opinion, doesn't need the pressure and should be "loaned out again".

Hopefully, the board etc aren't as inept as many fans suspect. It's in their interest to have a successful team. We must win on Friday. No excuses, just get it done!

29 Jul 2026 12:45:29
Good luck to Antman, but after that first game he was terrible. He rarely beat a man or got a decent cross in. Maybe for a few games he couldn't cope with the imposters tactics, but after that it was purely down to himself.

Just couldn't cope with the pressure of being at Rangers and being expected to win. Just like Bajrami and one or two others, there are no excuses, just not good enough.

29 Jul 2026 13:28:40
That's a rather salty reply there, Forky. Triggered?!. 😁🤣

29 Jul 2026 13:41:47
Lol it's me remember. 😉 😄 👍

29 Jul 2026 16:20:21
I think if we had loaned Antman out for 6 months or even better a year that he'd come back and be one of our better players.

However, the present is most important, and if we make a profit of EUR1.5m in 12 mintha then we take it and go again.

28 Jul 2026 22:37:40
I see Olson is away on loan to some Turkish team never heard of option to bye 4 mill

28 Jul 2026 23:09:03
I think he'll retire within 2 years, mate.

29 Jul 2026 00:12:42
Can't see him doing much in Turkey. I'm so glad we never signed him, mate.

29 Jul 2026 04:58:47
They finished 5th in the league last year, so are no mugs. I do hope he can get back on track, but he didn't look interested with us.

29 Jul 2026 06:07:45
Reminded me a bit like Kent. Football is just a means to make a lot of money in a short time, but for me both of them don't have their heart in it.

29 Jul 2026 06:28:31
Skov Olsen's career over the last few years has gone south big time. 😲 He's a talented player who's lost his way, and confidence shredded big time. 🤔

29 Jul 2026 06:54:11
Olsen is a mouse! He is the true definition of a player with bags of talent, but no heart, who goes into hiding when the going gets tough.

29 Jul 2026 08:31:31
Skov Olsen to me looked like a guy who has completely lost his way in football.
Guy seemed so disinterested on the park.
This could also just be because he was on loan and knew he wasn't staying, so thought why risk an injury.
I mean, good luck to the lad, I hope he gets back to the player he once was.

28 Jul 2026 20:30:53
Antman permanent transfer and Bajrami exit (unsure if permanent or loan yet) are very close.

28 Jul 2026 21:23:55
Good to hear mate.

28 Jul 2026 21:26:37
I think both have quality, but it hasn't really worked out for them. I think Bajrami suffers from playing a position we don't really use in Scotland. Antman, I thought, might prosper under DM if he was going to use more orthodox wingers, so I'll be sad to see him go.

Still a young guy too. Given how light we are out wide, surely we wouldn't sanction a sale unless there was a new signing imminent?

28 Jul 2026 21:29:47
We need quality out wide. Would like an established player with a few seasons of goals behind him.

28 Jul 2026 21:39:34
We must have replacements lined up as we're miles away in these areas.

28 Jul 2026 21:45:39
If they were as close, they wouldn't have okayed the weekend.

28 Jul 2026 21:51:19
Surely we can't be letting Antman leave, whether on a permanent deal or not, and then only bring in the Coventry winger on loan? Bigger moves for Crozier-Duberry or someone else must be lined up.

28 Jul 2026 21:53:51
1872rez, Antman was an established player in a better league with goals and tonnes of assists behind him, look how that turned out. Fact is, we don't know how someone's going to get on here as soon as they walk in the door, regardless of what they've achieved before. Only thing that matters is how they perform for us.

28 Jul 2026 21:54:47
They didn't even do okay that weekend, Storm. 😜

28 Jul 2026 21:59:42
Let's be clear, both have been atrocious, and we will really struggle to offload their wages, so I see the usual loan with an option about to happen.

28 Jul 2026 22:15:35
BillyHrfc, he had a great season prior to joining us and I expected more from him. I'd be looking for a seasoned winger with a few years on Antman. Just my opinion, mate.

28 Jul 2026 22:18:11
Wonder if Bajrami is moving to team in Italy?

28 Jul 2026 22:20:03
We'll see Ntam sold and Curtis out on loan with 2 brought on n for rw, probably one buy and one loan.

I think, on the left, we'll bring Moore in on loan.
If Gassama leaves, Aasgaard can play that position.

28 Jul 2026 22:23:34
Article on Antman leaving now up.

28 Jul 2026 21:39:15
This is not live in any online news that I can see.

28 Jul 2026 22:43:51
Back to Holland it looks like.

28 Jul 2026 22:55:31
FC Twente reportedly interested in Antman but also have eyes on another winger.

28 Jul 2026 23:03:06
Just wish that Berjrami had been given more time in his correct position, and not fitted into a team. Certainly a good player in there.

29 Jul 2026 00:58:37
Being reported it's Anderlecht for Antman (4.5mil).

29 Jul 2026 01:30:21
Yep, Antman is due to have a medical this week at Anderlecht for £4.5 mill, which is some business by the club in fairness.

29 Jul 2026 01:40:13
Making 1.5m on him and he hardly kicked a ball. No bad.

29 Jul 2026 01:04:39
Great info pal.

Stromtrooper1 you've had a stinker.

29 Jul 2026 06:30:03
Totally agree with you, 1872 👍 step forward Vaclav Cerny without a doubt for me. 🙏 🇬🇧

29 Jul 2026 07:49:37
Sooner we get them out the better. Neither have been good enough. I don't know why people hold out hope for these type of guys, zero consistency, sometimes looks like zero effort.

Bajrami plays lm for his country when he gets called up. He has been played there and in the 10 at times. Both have had similar times at Rangers, good debut games then nothing much of note.

29 Jul 2026 08:14:31
Cerny doesn't want to play in Scotland. has he even been contacted by the club?

29 Jul 2026 09:30:57
Antman and Bajrami on list I published in May. Bajrami also looks like permanent deal, we r also close to agreeing fees Nsiala, McCausland, Cifuentes.

Had three offers for Gassama, bit short on our prices.

29 Jul 2026 10:01:59
John, that's fantastic if we can get rid of Antman, Bajrami, Nsiala, McCausland and Cifu, getting fees for all.

Removes so much deadwood from a bloated squad.
I'd personally keep Gassama to be an option off the left, so it's good that the club are holding firm on their valuation of him.

29 Jul 2026 11:12:47
These things happen.

29 Jul 2026 14:23:22
Yip, John, if we can get fees for McCausland £1m. Bajrami €2m, Cifuentes? Nsiala €1m, Ant. €4.5m, that's good business imo.

Throw in Raskin at €20m and Gassama at €7m, Souttar for £2m, that's about €40m, not too shabby.
