Morning folks now that the dust has settled on the transfer window I've had a wee thought.
The only person/profile we are missing in this run in is an experienced player that's been there and down the league win before. We have bought well and young for the future what's your thoughts

04 Feb 2026 08:05:34
Both Tochi and Skov Olsen have won league titles.

04 Feb 2026 08:12:08
And Tavernier, of course, has experience of winning important titles. 😉 Now has some others in the squad who do as well.

03 Feb 2026 23:08:15
I'm curious to know people's thoughts on us signing a player from the German 3rd tier for £5 million? I know nothing about that league and very little about the bundesliga but it feels a bit disheartening for the boys in the academy set up to see the club spend that kinda money their, rather than bringing through one of our own.

04 Feb 2026 00:04:36
The ones coming through have to be good enough.

04 Feb 2026 00:06:41
It wasn't only Rangers interested in him, many clubs were, Gazza. Clearly, Rangers thought he was worth the fee being asked. Kinda irrelevant what league he's playing in. Rangers got Aribo playing in the 3rd tier, and he wasn't bad.

04 Feb 2026 01:19:02
German 3rd tier is of a better class than the SPL.

04 Feb 2026 01:40:17
Is it really, Stevie? I honestly haven't watched any of it. That's good to know.

04 Feb 2026 07:18:24
No doubt they've good players, but if it was such a better league, how come we have just broke its transfer record for a player desperate to play here? Where's all the other teams buying up their players? Why always happy to put our league down?

04 Feb 2026 08:07:13
I would not say it's better than the Premiership, but I would say that I believe if you put Falkirk, Livingston, Kilmarnock, etc, in that league, they would be relegated.

04 Feb 2026 08:22:06
It is thought the bottom 6 in our league are compared to the standard in League 1 in England by experts, which is around the same level overall as 3. Liga. The league is physically intense, but has a better technical ability than most teams here.

Hansa have an average league crowd of 25k, which is higher than any team but the OF get. So he will be used to larger crowds at least.


Main point is that to get up and coming talent at the right price you need to search in the smaller leagues or u21 squads of the bigger leagues, and perhaps pay a little bit more to get them, especially if they actually fit into a style of play we want. Let's just give him time though: I can hear the Chermiti-type shouts of we paid how much for a poor 3rd division player.

04 Feb 2026 08:35:35
Fair point, Aphelion, but at the same time Killie and Livi look like getting relegated from here too. 😜.
Without being biased towards our league, why has no other league or team valued any of their players above EUR 2-3m? Hibs just got double that from Italy for a pretty average kid. Motherwell got more for Miller. Just 2 to mention, could mention others not from Old Firm that foreign leagues have been prepared to pay for.

03 Feb 2026 21:27:44
New GK (Ernst, Epolo,?)

New RB (Beijmo)
New CB (Doehki)
Fernandez / New CB (Guddal)
Rommens

New CM (Martel)
New CM (Hjerto-Dahl)
Tochi

Skov Olson
Gassama
Naderi

03 Feb 2026 21:43:26
Would be devastated if that was our starting 11.

03 Feb 2026 22:06:48
Why, EHL? And I have omitted those who have been linked with leaving the club.

03 Feb 2026 22:15:49
I hate seeing us line up without a homegrown player.

03 Feb 2026 22:18:06
That's absolutely fair, my friend. Shall we swap Barron for Tochi and Curtis for Gassama?

03 Feb 2026 22:27:05
Hopefully Kyle Glasgow is the next coming of Messi.

03 Feb 2026 22:34:05
Let's wait until we lift the World Cup, Aphelion - that'll change the landscape for us.

03 Feb 2026 22:42:07
Let us wait until we sign them before we name them in our line up. Some we have signed still need to perform consistently as well, to retain their places.

That turnaround means we will be rebuilding a squad again, and up till now that hasn't been successful.

If we were to win the league as well, by some chance, we would be getting rid of how many of that starting team?

03 Feb 2026 22:51:33
Thinking very similar, Angus.

03 Feb 2026 22:53:50
Plus, we'll need to see what Olsen brings before being a guaranteed starter.

03 Feb 2026 22:54:13
I agree, EHL, but only Barron and Curtis appear to have a future with us at the moment.

03 Feb 2026 23:07:21
Angus/My star, this was a 100% hypothetical lineup based on links and rumour, that is all.

03 Feb 2026 23:09:25
EHL, i still cannot envisage a scenario where Mia McCauley and Brogan Hay can play in the men's team.

But, the way the world is, who knows. 😉😂

04 Feb 2026 08:36:03
Aphe, I know that, but I find on the forum that we don't like the players we have and are constantly trying to change this with ones we don't know. A bit like having a nice car but the neighbour having one you would prefer, despite never having driven it or seen it driven.

I knew it was a bit of fun and have no issue with it, but we have a squad at the moment, and I still think more of those than the 2 (Gassama and Fernandez) you have kept in our team will appear next season as starters. We will lose the loans and OOCs, and I see there as being where changes will happen. But the squad will also get smaller, with 6-8 academy lads coming through, which is a great aim.

We need to keep our Scottish roots where we can, and I see places for Barron and Curtis in future, with Souttar on a new deal, with the right style of play and partner, as possibles. I haven't seen anything from Tochi so far, nor ASO, that would make me not consider the two Scots ahead of them. I hope that changes, as they are said to have talent, but until then I am as yet unconvinced.

Interesting discussion, though, and all might change, as when EHL has said we win the World Cup. 😉

03 Feb 2026 16:40:11
Re watching the Naderi reel I posted. Looking at it he could be ready made for Scottish football in regards to how tight the opposition are and in tight spaces, not getting a lot of time on the ball etc. Can see a lot of similarities with the spl.

03 Feb 2026 20:39:28
Not comparing him at all, but as he turned away after scoring a few, I thought of Duncan Ferguson. I know, mental!

03 Feb 2026 21:08:57
Throw him into the start tomorrow, let's see how he does.

03 Feb 2026 21:28:05
Agree, Onewalter, the lad is match fit.

03 Feb 2026 22:42:28
Does he have ITC though?

04 Feb 2026 02:06:47
Agree, Onewalter, can't be any worse than Chermiti or Miovski.

03 Feb 2026 13:42:04
Remi Wulff if this is complete you will receive a very large belated Christmas gift.

03 Feb 2026 14:13:49
Might be the lack of sleep with new baby, but I'm struggling to link whether this is related to your post on the rumours page or a different one. Please enlighten us. 😬

03 Feb 2026 14:22:34
Dahl's agent, Will, and congrats on the ankle biter. 👍👍

03 Feb 2026 14:22:43
Very much related, Will.

Congratulations btw on the birth of your little one. 🎉

03 Feb 2026 14:46:53
Very exciting, guys!! And thank you - it really has been the most special time, can't possibly put it into words. 😀

03 Feb 2026 15:09:48
Congrats, Will.

03 Feb 2026 15:17:09
Congrats to you both.

03 Feb 2026 20:16:03
Congrats, Will.

03 Feb 2026 21:07:49
Congrats, Will.

03 Feb 2026 21:09:31
Congrats, Will.

03 Feb 2026 22:11:26
Thank you, guys, much appreciated!

03 Feb 2026 13:09:40
Chris Eadie away to Sheffield United on a permanent deal, small fee with sell on, I wish him well.

03 Feb 2026 20:49:37
Surprised the CoOp agreement with Stirling Albion wasn't enough to entice him to remain in Scottish football.

03 Feb 2026 12:03:50
Glasgow is preferred destination apparently.

03 Feb 2026 11:15:56
Some news in instagram, by an Italian journalist, that Rangers are about to sign Dahl. Could we have pulled off a late night miracle? Can't see how a signing today would be permitted.

03 Feb 2026 11:45:01
think signings past the deadline can be permitted if they are at a certain stage, not sure how long after they have to be completed or if i'm even correct in the first place.

Hope it's true but can't see it being the case.

03 Feb 2026 13:10:30
Tav not for international signings from what I read. they need to be signed by the close of the buying clubs window. my search said 12 but I suspect that was due to European time zone being an hour ahead (well at least I think it is at this time of year)

03 Feb 2026 14:11:15
Ah, I thought in certain circumstances clubs could get an extension if the deal was completed up to a certain point.

03 Feb 2026 15:34:37
Yes, so did I. They can put a deal sheet into the SFA and get up to 2 hours if the SFA are in agreement. However, when I checked, it seemed to say that international transfers were different. Rules are lengthy and confusing though. Even so, the maximum 2 hours would be passed.

03 Feb 2026 09:06:17
Reading on various sites other bears rating this window from 4/10 to 8/10.

What's folks' thoughts on here regarding how well we've done this window?

03 Feb 2026 09:53:41
7/8
Any Rangers fan voting 4 out of 10 only says it's never happy.

03 Feb 2026 10:14:13
For me, it was 1 blockbuster signing off being a 9. 😉😉
But really, maybe a 7, IF, the new guys, Olson in particular get up to speed quickly.
Everyone new we were screaming for a goal scoring centre, so best of luck to Naderi 👍.

03 Feb 2026 10:20:04
I think Naderi will be a good signing maybe along the lines of jelavic.

I genuinely thin Skov Olsen is going to be a big time flop.
Hope I'm wrong.

Rommens I. Believe will be our best left back since Arthur numan

Chucky I think will be a good signing.

03 Feb 2026 10:21:19
9/10 would have been 10 if the dominoes had fell on a way that allowed us to get 5 in.

03 Feb 2026 10:42:54
6 I would say.

03 Feb 2026 10:53:37
On paper it looks an astute window. Let's see how these signings perform. The boys on long term deals I think will be fine but ASO might struggle if we keep insisting on being passive in possession, we need to get the ball to him quicker especially in transition.

03 Feb 2026 11:02:55
Cheers my star, personally I'm in your camp also. Being greedy I would've like a creative midfielder as well, but feel we've done well thus far.

03 Feb 2026 11:48:15
Stevie agree with your thoughts.

03 Feb 2026 12:36:57
Imo probably a 6/10.

We have bought what looks like four very good players, I expect Olosen to sign in July so all 4 year deals, some with an option. That produces stability,

We moved on Cortez, Dowell Rothwell Nsiala Cameron, and likely Danilo, we all know Matondo finished and Davies also leaves at end off season, , none off the aforementioned have any future game time at our club. Same goes for cifuentes.

Last two windows we have made a very good job of clearing the old regime legacy.

Most off the six loan players if not all will leave, couple decisions to be made re Souttar Kelly Tavernier king. Not all will be staying

Next summer will be very important progressing forward.

03 Feb 2026 12:40:23
Stevie he's not game fit mate, needs a bit longer, can remember many, not only one or two on here saying these things about Cerny after longer than a couple of games, must say I've never been impressed with anything he's done in they games but he'll get longer from me anyway, he's hardly kicked a ball all season let's see what he's like when game fit.

03 Feb 2026 13:12:56
am I being negative by saying it is too early to say. I hate to think how many windows I have seen recently where the players we buy don't amount to anything despite the form they have shown for the teams we buy them from.

I am more hopeful this time that longer term we have made astute buys. I think as always they will take longer to fit into the team and reach their full potential.

so probably a 6 rising to an 8 if I am honest.

03 Feb 2026 17:26:24
Considering our past January windows, I would say 8/10. Hopefully the new guys get up to speed and settle quickly, which, going by how the squad have responded to Danny Rohl and his coaching team by getting us back into a title fight, they will come good soon.

03 Feb 2026 20:18:30
You being negative? That's a 1st.
