The Rangers Summer 2025 Transfer Rumours and Deals - Thread

[Yorkie Bear 803]

If Hamza goes, I hope we get some other player in who can do keepy-uppies and nutmegs as well as he could.

 

Call me shallow if you like.

He was like a kid out on the training pitch with his dad. He loved a keepy uppy and a nutmeg.

As it stands we have 3 nation trained players, and 6 club trained. You need a minimum of 8(usually 4 & 4) to register a full European squad of 25.

 

If we assume we have 3 nation trained in Soutter, Barron & Cameron. We need 5 club trained players. Then you have to assume the likes of King, Rice, Curtis will be registered.

 

Lots of noise around McCausland leaving so we may lose 1.

 

Will be interesting to see how the recruitment team solve this problem over the next few weeks, by recruiting players from England.

 

PS - I used AI to help me with the formatting, the details within were C&P'd from the OP, and the club trained / nation trained info came from me. So any inaccuracies are my bad.

Do keep in mind that we can add our B-team boys to the first team UEFA list at our leisure, IIRC.

Its only worthwhile them being on the list if they can contribute. 

 

We are going down the same track here of having a core group of 22 players needing to play 30 odd games in Europe/League/Club before xmas.

 

Is it any wonder we have so many injury problems?

Round-up ...

 

Rangers have opened talks to sign Peterborough United defender Emmanuel Fernandez, 23. (Football Insider)

 

... he's got a contract till 2027.

 

Lille want Rangers forward Hamza Igamane, 22, to replace Jonathan David. (Sacha Tavolieri on X)

 

Round down ...

 

Meanwhile, Hibs have agreed to sign free agent Josh Mulligan, the 22-year-old midfielder most recently at Dundee, with a medical imminent. (Fabrizio Romano on X)

 

We probably have to wait on some transfers till June 30, e.g. Poku, Shankland (😱) etc.

Yep, I know. I was solely replying to the UEFA "guidelines".

 

IMHO, injuries to our big buys and important players hampered us quite a lot these last couple of seasons. Danilo, Cortes, Sterling, Kasanwirjo, Balogun et al. There was de facto no strength in depth and hence I, for one, are not averse to grabbing the odd player with a solid Scottish record and decent physique, like we did in the last 4 decades. If we lose Igamane and Dessers, we'd be mad not to grab Shankland on a free. He will sure see us through many a soggy encounter at Dens or Fir Park on a soggy night in December or February. And we could still spill 8m on some fancy foreign footworker who, given our luck, break is little toe and miss 3 months.

Latest from Sky Sports News' Ellen Ellard:

The 23-year-old winger scored 12 goals in 27 League One appearances last season and produced eight assists.

I’m not up to speed o all these registration rules but suppose we are fortunate enough to qualify for the champions league is they’re a timescale for making changes  to the pool submitted to UEFA

Last day of the window is the deadline for registration. But we have so many rounds to go through and can only make limited changes. 

So for anyone thinking 'ach its fine we will bring in new players and we can just register them later', there are limitations.

Well we certainly cannot afford to lose both Igamane and Dessers when we still have Danilo on the books. That would be suicide on the playing field.

We can afford it.

 

Move the pair of them on and re-invest plz.

 

Danilo can go too.
