Rangers Transfer Rumours 5

03 Sep 2026 13:43:00
See reports saying we're still in talks with the Milwaukee Messi. Surely just keeping that love in case something falls through with Bouanani

03 Sep 2026 12:02:35
Seems a bit steep? If correct.

Rangers may have to shatter the Scottish transfer record if they want to trigger the buy option in Badredine Bouanani's loan deal.

That's because Bild in Germany are claiming the fee agreed between the clubs is an eye-popping €18m (£15.5m).

The Algerian winger, a £13m signing for Stuttgart last summer, is on his way to Glasgow to finalise a loan move to Rangers. He'll join alongside Kevin Kelsy in a double boost to Derek McInnes' attacking options and the Ibrox side have negotiated an option to make the move permanent should he impress.

But reports in Germany say it'll set them back around £15.5m if they want to trigger that – which would shatter the longstanding £12m record fee Rangers paid for Tore Andre Flo 26 years ago.

03 Sep 2026 12:36:50
Just commented on this on the banter page. The boy has talent and potential to be a great player, but has been a failure in Germany. His price should be going down, not up 5.5 million euros. Terrible negotiating on our part.

03 Sep 2026 12:53:23
I just love the comments, they get slaughtered when not signing players and get slaughtered when we do sign players.
@Scotty, what would make you happy? You think the player has talent and potential? Do you want to pay 80s prices?

03 Sep 2026 12:54:33
We're not talking about an established player here though, we're talking about a guy who has only just turned 21, who a few years ago was in the top 60 upcoming footballers in the world. If we get top form out of him and he really kicks on, then that option price suddenly doesn't look so high if it's split into base price plus add ons.

03 Sep 2026 12:54:56
Lot of things can change, hope he's that good that it looks a bargain, see players going for less than the option all the time after loan, maybe just needed him in quick and you can go back to negotiable table at end of season.

03 Sep 2026 13:01:33
Their player doesn't get played and his value goes up.
Our player played in WC and does well and his value goes down.

Never happening if we wouldn't pay that money for Fergie.

03 Sep 2026 13:02:50
I've no bother agreeing to a loan option fee like that on the basis that we can always try and haggle it down later if need be.

03 Sep 2026 13:09:55
At end of day, remember the saying, do not fall in love with a loan player.

03 Sep 2026 13:11:15
I think folk would've paid it for Moore given the choice. He will have to light the league on fire to justify it though imo.

03 Sep 2026 13:13:02
Aww will you all stop greeting for one minute.

03 Sep 2026 13:23:43
I think this would only be triggered if Aasgaard gets his option taken up. £6M towards so outlay would only really be 9ish.

03 Sep 2026 13:29:27
Here's Johnny. Happy we have a rw or am, just think option should have been what they paid or wee bit less. That's what happens in the football world, you sign for a decent fee, you don't play well or many games, you go for less.

Just like every player we've signed for years. Danilo, Lammers etc etc could prob count on one hand players we've made a profit on we've signed for decent money and not been up to much.

03 Sep 2026 13:29:37
Who's greetin?

If the figures quoted are true, it seems baffling how someone's price can increase by £5 million when he's barely played, and we're getting offered less than what we value.

I'm glad the club are still doing business and very grateful for their efforts. All I said was the figures quoted are confusing.

I'll leave it there. Have a good day.

03 Sep 2026 13:29:44
How's about we think this one positively for a change and hope we pay the money.

Would mean we and he have had a successful season?

03 Sep 2026 13:32:09
Well we should expect big things from him then.

03 Sep 2026 13:37:39
Ken, what just sign nobody 🤣🤣 so we can't complain.

03 Sep 2026 13:42:02
Who the f*** actually cares about the values - leave that to the money men at Ibrox who actually know the financial details - just enjoy the signings instead of moaning about the fees - WATP. 🇬🇧

03 Sep 2026 13:42:42
We won't have to worry about the £15.5.

If he's rank, we won't sign him.

If he tears it up, he won't want to stay in SPL.

Either way, it's a loan and it ends there.

Hopefully he can set the league ablaze and he'll have earned his move to a proper league while maybe helping us to some silverware.

03 Sep 2026 13:43:27
Way I see it is. If he turns out to be like Cerny or even better, then would you grumble at £13m for a 21yo Cerny?

03 Sep 2026 13:52:59
Marco and Davie, well said.

I'm just hearing this deal is very much structured similar to Tillman deal.

As someone has pointed out, Aasgaard money could go towards it, same re Danilo 2 m and Bajrami 3 million. Mb we sell Chermiti when fits.

I do think it's shocking the owners r trying to improve us. 😂😂

03 Sep 2026 13:55:08
Bajraktarevic.

03 Sep 2026 14:00:18
If they value him at 15m+, how is that any different toys valuing Chermiti at mid to high 20m. If he's good enough and we make money selling him on where is the issue?

03 Sep 2026 14:02:12
Correct John, 👍 Try and be grateful that our owners are prepared to back Derek McInnes instead of putting doubts on deals we're doing. 😡 This is absolutely the correct deal we're doing in signing Algerian winger Bouanani, because it's a season long loan deal with the option to buy if we like what we see and he does the business.

🤔 Some are just never happy unless they're moaning and want players sign and when we do push the boat out it's negative comments like "that's too big an outlay" etc. 👎😡 I'm grateful our owners are clearly backing McInnes. 😁🇬🇧

03 Sep 2026 14:07:20
Cheers, Walter, for responding.

03 Sep 2026 14:07:28
Let's just be clear here, if he does come here and smashes it on loan, we can trigger any permanent move we want, but if bigger clubs are sniffing about after a fantastic season, he ain't signing for us.

03 Sep 2026 14:08:40
March, Doubt we will go for him if we get Bouanani.

03 Sep 2026 13:04:27
But do we actually know the figures right now, or have we now started believing journalists?

03 Sep 2026 14:14:00
He will be our best winger if we sign him. He has so much potential. Hope he absolutely rips this league apart. Very good signing.

03 Sep 2026 14:16:05
If last season we had loaned Moore with an option to buy for 15 mil, would anyone have blinked an eye? Nope, we would have happily paid it, so Rangers are just covering their backs. If he does turn out to be super amazing and blows up the league, then 15 mil will be a price set, rather than going back to the team and then getting quoted 20 million plus cause how well he did.

If he doesn't, then we don't buy, so I think it's a great deal.

03 Sep 2026 14:22:04
Where's the down side here? It looks like we are bringing in circa 30 mil of talent to bolster our creative positions with 3 players who have significant potential - 2 we own and one that we could if we want to.

Let's hope they all hit ground running. Receiving our business this window - we are stronger in every area of the pitch than we were last season, in my opinion.

03 Sep 2026 14:23:19
Spot on, John.

03 Sep 2026 14:27:50
Cheers everyone for your input and different perspectives.

It's made me realise that I've been bringing the past into the future, and worrying about what happened last time, and concerns over the club's finances.



It's not my job to worry about that. I can't control that. I'm simply a fan who will watch and cheer with anticipation.

I am glad we are being adventurous and proactive, and I will set that worry aside as it isn't mine to carry.

03 Sep 2026 14:40:57
He only played 458 minutes for Stuttgart last season, and that shows he didn't get many chances. He had that Jamal Lewling in front of him in the team, and he was rumoured to be moving to Bayern or the Premier League.

If I'm being honest, I don't care about the transfer fee; if he comes in and helps win things then I'm happy, and if we do sign him we could potentially double the fee, and if he flops he goes back.

03 Sep 2026 14:54:56
Gazza, I was doing the same not long ago, worrying about the finances.

03 Sep 2026 14:58:02
Kim, he played 1341 minutes in 32 games last season, scored a couple in Europa.

03 Sep 2026 15:08:44
As another poster says, it's a win win for us. If he comes in and is poor, then we aren't tied to him. If he comes in and is electric, we can buy him. If he comes in and is good and has potential again, we aren't tied to it, so we can renegotiate.



It's a player we could have only dreamed of being interested in a few years ago, so I, for one, will give credit to the board for their ambition and will not try to find any gripe I can with it.

03 Sep 2026 16:02:26
My star, i think it's his minutes from the league a posted. Ave not got a problem with this signing, as a said it's a loan, so if he doesn't perform, he goes back, and if he smashes it, we have a player on our hands regardless of the fee.

03 Sep 2026 16:23:33
Gazza, you've every right to be worried, mate, after the stuff we've been through over the last 4 years. Don't let it get to you, mate, is what I will say. Hopefully we can pull a team together and have a decent season.

The past few signings look like we are going in the right direction. Gassama, Kim, Bouanni, Kelsey up top should be an exciting front line.

03 Sep 2026 11:45:38
When it broke yesterday about Raskin I was saying it wasn't a loan i'm sure some thought I was wrong with what was being reported but I had been told they had came in with a full offer i'm told they verbally came back yet again, but now they have thrown in the towel.
For the rumours starting up saying Raskin is unhappy I would say he's disappointed he never got a move he thought was going to happen but he will play for the shirt and keep himself in the window the club and player now nee to evaluate the situation in January.

Kelsy is absolutely done.
Bouanani is very nearly done and will be completed today with a option to buy.

And yes Souttar is still here.
It will be addressed what is happening with Souttar one way or another if not today then over the next 2 or 3 days

03 Sep 2026 12:14:11
They tried loan with option to buy for 12 million, then came back in during the game last night with a permanent deal for 14 mil, I heard, which we knocked back.

03 Sep 2026 12:16:51
I'm hoping he gets back in the team because Fernandez needs some time out to get his head straight and I'm concerned Godfrey will stay fit.

03 Sep 2026 12:19:34
Record is reporting some Bosnian winger from PSV is still a live target/option. Got to guess that's back up for boy we're actually signing.

03 Sep 2026 12:38:53
McInnes slipped into his interview that Raskin didn't want the move as well as the club turning down the offer. He turned down Besiktas last summer, so maybe he doesn't want to play in Turkey, that's his right. If Souttar and Miovski don't leave in the next couple of days, they must be included in squads going forward.

They are not world beaters, but they are SPL level players, and that's all we have got to play for this season. If the likes of McCausland and Nsiala don't leave, we should be getting them loans at other Scottish clubs just to keep them playing. What about helping out Morton for instance.

03 Sep 2026 12:39:29
Wullie, are we going to try n get a centreback.
I'm really worried about Fernandez going forward, definitely a weak link.

03 Sep 2026 12:48:03
Willie, I don't believe Raskin wanted to go to Turkey.

03 Sep 2026 13:03:58
Orange, you are correct. When I said he is disappointed a move never happened, he thought it was going to happen. I was referring to a bigger move to a bigger league.

Blue - I'm afraid not.

03 Sep 2026 13:56:50
Blue Dreamer, Emmanuel Fernandez's stats are impressive this season, but prone to the odd lapse of concentration, but what we forget is the average age of the Rangers team.
We currently have an experienced former EPL player, Godfrey, who has returned to fitness and in reserve if need be.

03 Sep 2026 14:15:25
Wullie, r u picking up Souttar contract may be ripped up.

03 Sep 2026 14:20:32
I would bring Souttar back into the fold, and drop Fernandez until he gets his head in the game, and stop believing that he is a superstar and worth the daft 15 20 mil people are quoting, boy needs to be a bench warmer for now.

03 Sep 2026 14:23:33
Yes, John, exactly what I have heard and what I was alluding to. If no solution is found, my understanding is he may be released.

03 Sep 2026 14:44:08
Pretty sure Raskin has in private said he doesn't want to consider Turkey. That was said before this window.

03 Sep 2026 15:03:28
It seems to have significant traction. Wullie.

03 Sep 2026 15:23:33
Raskin didn't want 2 go 2 turkey so there no disappointment in his end

03 Sep 2026 10:40:33
Rumours circulating on Spanish forum I'm on that Raskin isn't happy that he's still in Scotland. He seems professional enough not to down tools though which is good.

03 Sep 2026 11:05:40
Doubt there is any issue.

03 Sep 2026 11:43:34
Spanish forum talking about Scottish football, impressed with that Roberto.

03 Sep 2026 11:46:22
Not our fault that no one wants to pay the money for him.

03 Sep 2026 11:52:23
MyStar, is a Spanish speaking forum only allowed to discuss leagues in Spanish speaking countries?

03 Sep 2026 11:54:57
He turned down Besiktas so he can't be that unhappy.

03 Sep 2026 11:55:23
Can only wonder how Spanish people of a forum would know anything about a Belgium playing in Scotland, maybe just me.

03 Sep 2026 12:15:04
Roberto it was maybe a bit sarcastic but xenophobic, you're having a laugh 🤣🤣

03 Sep 2026 12:15:59
Lmao Roberto stop with the condescending and xenophic rubbish. sound like you are a karen 🤣🤣

03 Sep 2026 12:22:12
I really wouldn't wonder about something I don't have knowledge of, Mystar.

03 Sep 2026 12:39:33
Laudrup, lol. Would be impressed if it happened though.

03 Sep 2026 12:54:10
Maybe Raskin actually enjoys his work and likes his workmates and bosses. 🤷 He'd obviously love a move to a bigger team in a better league, but maybe he accepts it may not happen, and if not he's happy where he is. In recent weeks he's always looked happy enough in training. During matches, when he's not on the pitch, you'll notice he's never sitting on the bench.

😅 He's always on his feet! Cheering on his teammates and annoying the officials. If he's still here at the end of the window, then I think he'll give us 100% until he gets his move, because, like I say, I don't think he's unhappy here, his body language says he's happy. And he's quite right to want to further/better his career, doesn't mean he doesn't love playing for Rangers.

03 Sep 2026 12:55:25
Me too. 😊

03 Sep 2026 13:31:59
Rwn, bang on with that pal, well said!

03 Sep 2026 10:29:41
Following up on my post the other day

I said there was kelsy and one other loan signing which i said was a winger. Bouanani is the winger. That will conclude Rangers business.

As confirmed i said Cameron was away to an spfl team had interest from 2 teams Dundee United and St Mirren now away to united.

I got a bit of stick about Raskin but as i said in May the lad turned down france, I was unbelievably shocked to hear turkey yesterday because no one has been interested in him apart from a few sniffs. Not surprised he's turned down turkey

Rommens is out longer than expected we made a few enquiries but nothing came about.

Souttar has 3 options, 2 in England 1 in Scotland. Will he go I don't know

McCausland has a an offer in cyprus and America

Will people please start believing that I have a solid connection with a guy who really doesn't need to share information with me and neither do I.

For the majority I hope you enjoy the posts and info

WATP

03 Sep 2026 11:06:51
Don't think anyone has ever doubted your info, mate, it's the fact that you need a pat on the back every time you make a post then is frustrating. Cheers for the info. 👍

03 Sep 2026 11:06:53
A few enquiries about a left back but nothing came about.

03 Sep 2026 11:12:41
1872, mate, you should see some of the comments I have had from some on here.

03 Sep 2026 11:19:55
People on here appreciate your info.

03 Sep 2026 11:26:31
Papers are also saying Esmir Bajraktarevic is another option we have on the go today as well.

03 Sep 2026 11:29:16
Fatal mistake not plugging the huge holes in midfield and defence. We are there for the taking. The amount of space for teams to exploit is frightening, especially on counter attack. Dm appears not to have addressed it either, which I can't understand unless the players are simply not able to change.

Playing as dodgy individuals, not as a team, no shape or structure, and doing so consistently.

03 Sep 2026 11:30:46
Sorry John, typo, had 2 offers from England and 1 from Scotland. Will he go? I don't know.

03 Sep 2026 11:32:37
WATP, I think the majority enjoy your posts, so I wouldn't allow one or two people to put you off.

What's your opinion on why there hasn't been more interest in Raskin?

I've always felt he's been hyped up beyond what he consistently offers. Whether he's currently the best midfielder we have is beside the point. If anything, that perhaps shows how much quality we're still lacking in midfield.

Yes, he's played for his country, but in my opinion, he hasn't done enough in a Rangers jersey. Others will disagree, but I'm looking for much more from someone who is regarded as our best midfielder.



Look at what CMAC and Brown were for their respective teams: commanding leaders who influenced games and made things happen.

We've been spoiled by some great midfielders over our time.

Raskin isn't commanding enough for me. He can be loose with his passing and is sometimes knocked off the ball too easily, even in Scottish football. He's certainly not a bad player, but I don't think his performances consistently match the reputation he has among parts of our support.

03 Sep 2026 11:36:22
WATP, Aberdeen and Hibs want him, they can't afford half his salary.

03 Sep 2026 11:39:38
I really hope we get another defender.

03 Sep 2026 11:44:42
I would have been a major surprise to me if we didn't sign another winger.

03 Sep 2026 11:45:13
WATP

Great info as usual, keep it coming. Most on here appreciate your updates.

03 Sep 2026 11:46:44
Thestigno1, if I am completely honest, mate

Raskin domestically hasn't been consistent enough. He had injury problems, and there has been a lot of change at Rangers which is not his fault.

He is 25, which is a really interesting age. If players are 21 to 24, you tend to find clubs happy to pay decent fees as they can flip them in a year for mega money. 25 is incredibly young, but it's a bit of a gamble.

Would clubs be willing to pay 20 million for a player that hasn't been consistent, hasn't won many honours in a 2 horse league, and, as we keep saying, only really shows his worth on the international scene?

Raskin sadly now has 2 occasions where he has fallen out with a manager, one before Rangers and Russell Martin.

Coaches have said he's a nice guy, but sometimes needs direction or to be told what's what.

I just don't think he's done enough, and before people jump on the bandwagon about the other side of the city and a Belgian midfielder, I'm only giving my opinion on Raskin.

03 Sep 2026 11:51:10
My star, it was a cert manager has been saying it in every press conference.

I'm more interested re midfielder.

03 Sep 2026 11:51:27
Thank you for all your insights and info that you've chosen to share.

I'm curious as to why it's so important for you for people to believe that info?

Surely, the most important thing is, if you believe the info you put out and you're happy with it.



We can't control what other people think or being.

Keep posting what you're able to share.

Any news on stadium stuff?

03 Sep 2026 11:55:30
Good info, John. I was aware Aberdeen wasn't about Hibs.

You heard anything else, John? I have heard a few have enquired about Curtis in the last 24 hours.

03 Sep 2026 12:08:00
Brilliant info WATP. Your info is a lot more accurate than most on here who claim to have inside connections, so don't let it bother you. Keep sharing, mate.

03 Sep 2026 12:10:34
Gazza, fair post and opinion.

Honestly, mate, there are a few reasons

1. I think being brutally honest 99% don't have a clue on here, they hear a rumour at work or in the pub and at the end of the day it's a rumours site.

2. I am only probably 4 months into this journey with this page. It is very hard as a newcomer to actually be taken seriously.

3. I think the most important part is that this information ain't actually mine, it's a friend's and I think he deserves all the applause.

One thing I really respect is he will never ever inform me of information that is complete secret.

He just tells me information that will become public very soon.

Where it annoys me is people saying "you're just saying what's in the press" when, if you look at the timing of my posts, most of the time I was in there before.

I named 4 transfers and their positions in order way before the press, the fan share of tickets for Celtic, the list goes on.

I think I need to start listening to people and just block out the noise with certain individuals.

03 Sep 2026 12:11:22
We offered Hibs, Souttar for Mulligan, strange move imo as exact same as Raskin Devlinneil Barron.

I have written consistently, Curtis needs to be tied down, he wants games or he leaves.

03 Sep 2026 12:19:31
Would like Curtis to go out on loan again, especially with the new RW coming in.

03 Sep 2026 12:40:12
What's issue re Souttar and not being part of squad? He's surely a better option than Fernandez at the moment.

03 Sep 2026 12:43:39
From his Killie loan last year, Curtis wants to play football, or, as John said, he will be away. That was confirmed to me last year.

03 Sep 2026 12:44:46
Watp, how does it feel to be you, mate? U predicted nothing, mate. U suggested what anyone with a keen interest could have. Every1 knew about Kelsy and the need for a winger. But bravo to u.

03 Sep 2026 13:03:35
Broador, have a look at my last 10 posts. Almost everyone is spot on.

Is this your first post, I don't recognise your name.

03 Sep 2026 13:16:34
John, you're right. Heard from horse's mouth, Curtis isn't signing until he gets more starts. He's started every game since, though I was told that.

03 Sep 2026 13:32:37
WATP, keep up the good information mate and block out the negativity. Up there with the top posters. Between this and other social media outlets, our fans are outrageous towards our own club.

03 Sep 2026 12:34:59
WATP are you hearing anything about us working on a loan deal for a midfielder?

John is Mulligan the name you're referencing on Banter post or is there another midfielder we are working on for a late surprise?

03 Sep 2026 12:44:19
Not disputing your rumour but how can Souttar have an offer from England when their window is shut?
I'm not his biggest fan but I would be astonished if he wanted to go to another Scottish club.We still are one centre back down, get him fit and back in the squad if he doesn't leave.

You never know when a couple of CBs might get injured its happened to us before and with Sterling and Godfreys injury records we could be struggling

03 Sep 2026 14:18:49
Goram, no player I reference is EPL

The Mulligan/Souttar deal is dead in the water imo.

03 Sep 2026 14:03:40
Broador, how does it feel to be you. In reality I don't care. Another that brings no constructive dialogue what so ever. This is why WATP is clarifying his stance on his rumours. Some us appreciate the rumours and the willingness to put info out.

Then there is guys like you!

The best bit of this page is the block button where you will be soon.
I will hold off a bit for you funny or scathing retort.

03 Sep 2026 14:25:01
Watp a lot of your info is good, but u have just lost me by stating 99% on here don't have a clue. majority of these individuals contribute very well to the site.

The fact of the matter is only one poster has posted original info on any of our 13 signings, I apologise to the guy who said McCrorie as I can't remember name.

Many like u, Willie, Copland, Ibrox4. Me have been very good once the info is in public domain.

I remember saying driouche failed medical, u and others said absolutely talking nonsense as he was at the Rangers game.

Whatever info anyone brings to a rumour site is excellent and I greatly appreciate it, however as said by many read it, determine what u think, believe, or otherwise, because that is what this fantastic site is all about,
Finally as always our Eds do a great job heading us scolded cats, ably assist by Fork.

03 Sep 2026 09:53:44
Looks like we will be signing 2 today
Kelsy apparently al done
And looks like we want another winger
surprised we didn't go for another CB

03 Sep 2026 11:17:09
We need better than Fernandez

He's just not good enough, heads up his erc#.
He's a liability, definitely weak link.

03 Sep 2026 11:25:07
Hopefully we'll see Godfrey at the weekend.

03 Sep 2026 11:29:33
I thought we would've been after another cb but those in charge thought differently.

03 Sep 2026 11:59:50
Can't do everything in one window, lads. Can't fault the Yanks, they have gone above and beyond for us this window.
Maybe some areas of weakness, but can't fix everything at once.

03 Sep 2026 12:00:46
After his showing last night, 1872Rez, I'm sure Godfrey will be in for him at the weekend.

03 Sep 2026 12:12:02
It bewilders me, as defensively we have been very poor for awhile.

Past 6 games it's been clear to see, so why are we not addressing this before window slams shut. As better teams will annilat us.

Fernandez made a horrendous error last night, but generally I think he and the defence have been better the last couple of games. He has headed away everything, and mostly kept it simple at the back. A lot of the goals we have lost have been deflections, and really Pandur hasn't had that much to do in any game. The issues for me are the big hole in midfield when teams break on us, which wasn't there against Aberdeen but appeared again too often last night, and we are incapable of scoring goals, mostly one a game until last night.

I've said for years scoring one goal against Rangers shouldn't get you anything, it should just be a consolation, if our forwards are doing their job.

Stuttgart winger Badredine Bouanani is undergoing a medical ahead of a potential Deadline Day move to Rangers.

Sky Sports News understand the 21-year-old Algerian international is set to join on loan with an option to buy included in the deal.

He moved to Germany last year from Nice and has scored two goals and provided two assists for Stuttgart.

Striker Kevin Kelsy's £9.2m move from Portland Timbers is complete too – and just awaiting formal announcement as Rangers look set to end the summer with 14 new signings – the same as last summer.

It's good signing Kelsy but when is he going to play? We are playing with one striker and he won't drop Shankland now.

I'm happy with these two and didn't expect any other positions to come in if I'm honest.
