Very happy so far with the first few signings in the door and if some of the rumours are correct could be the best window we've had for quite some time.

Absolutely Mass. 😎

Got a wee question to ask lads/lassies. Now I'm not saying these signings are awful or anything like that and I hope each signing so far comes here and absolutely smashes it BUT is anyone else worried that yet again we are targeting players from English leagues or have played mainly in those leagues.

I don't know if it's PTSD from the past few seasons but I can't shake the feeling we are just repeating the same cycle over and over again. Could be contributed to Purdy/Thelwell Jnr but we were shopping in these markets before them too.

My main concern is that we have won nothing with these and it's honestly a market I would prefer we give a wide berth. Just my thoughts an opinions about our recruitment focus so far, hopefully we move away from this market.

There are many good players in the English leagues, and to disregard those leagues would be neglectful. We need to be checking many countries, England included.

01 Jul 2026 17:28:39
Aye, BBJ.
But I think it's because we've had our fingers burnt numerous times from these leagues that we are now wary of anyone from the EFL who will "rip it up" in the SPFL.

Not because it's the English league, just poor recruitment on our part.

Before everyone starts judging individual signings, I think it's worth looking at the bigger picture.

The more I look at our business this summer, the more impressed I am.

There's a clear strategy for the first time in years. We're not just signing players because they're available or because they're a big name. Every signing seems to fill a gap, improve the squad, or add leadership and competition.

Pandur looks a top goalkeeper with plenty of room to improve.

McCrorie brings experience and versatility, and understands exactly what it means to play for Rangers.



Shankland guarantees goals and knows this league inside out.

Godfrey adds pace, power and athleticism at the back.

Dan Neil could genuinely be one of the signings of the summer. A young captain with leadership qualities, energy and the mentality to drive standards.

What excites me most is that this doesn't feel like we're building a team for a season. It feels like we're building a squad with balance, leaders, Scottish experience where needed, and younger players who can develop and increase in value.
And there's more to come. 💙

Dan Neil has just signed for us, 3yr deal. It's on the BBC news.

01 Jul 2026 10:25:22
Dan Neil signed.

01 Jul 2026 10:24:40
Dan Neil announced

01 Jul 2026 11:00:20
I think the Dan Neil signing should teach us that no one knows anything for definite. In regards to Ferguson people may have been told he's not signing or he is but they can not categorically say he will sign or he won't sign as anything can change rapidly.


Every single outlet and poster thought Neil had snubbed us or we had snubbed him and not a single person knew he was signed until we announced it.
Point of this post is to say there's still hope for Lewis 🤣.

Totally agree wishy, including Southampton who gave him a medical.

01 Jul 2026 11:50:52
100% agree here, Wishy. Looks like Neil was keeping his options open until a very last minute U-turn. I'm not sure how I feel about this one, but I wish him all the best.

01 Jul 2026 12:55:19
Actually enjoying the fact that the club's business is not out in the open/being leaked as in the past. It's very refreshing.

01 Jul 2026 12:55:41
Correct, Wishy. That is now 5 signings, is it, with no-one knowing until last minute. Way I like it, if I am honest. Long may the club continue to act in this professional manner.

01 Jul 2026 14:33:44
Neil spoke with McIness many times, good interview from him.

01 Jul 2026 14:58:26
As I said before, nobody else find it concerning he had a medical at Southampton and then turns up at Rangers.

And the very fact that was the case says he's maybe originally snubbed us in favour of Southampton, whatever it was, something obviously changed.

01 Jul 2026 15:00:56
I really hope you're right on this one, Mystar. A free makes it a no brainer gamble in my view, but still worried about circumstances around him.

Sunderland don't take him to Prem
Ipswich don't take him to Prem
Apparently snubs us for Southampton
Has a medical at Southampton
Then strangely turns up at Rangers

Something off with this move or circumstances have changed.

01 Jul 2026 16:21:06
He didn't have a medical at Southampton though, did he? I have had a look and see that the most I can find is that he was in advanced talks. We then came in and hijacked the deal and he will now have a medical with us. I suspect this happens a lot, as clubs are asked to be kept updated.

We maybe decided to make a last minute move when we heard he was that close to joining them. Until then we had prioritised other areas, thinking there was time as we had been asked to be kept in loop.

Forever, it's called more money at the end from Rangers.

01 Jul 2026 10:34:17
Dan Neil now a ger don't know anything about him so hopefully a decent signing.
