Sky Sports: Rangers to sell player in next 24 hours

Sky Sports reports that Robby McCrorie, the custodian for Rangers, may be joining Kilmarnock in the next 24 to 48 hours.

The 26-year-old is scheduled to return from the Gers’ training camp in the Netherlands on July 9 at 12:00 pm, according to the online source, ahead of a potential move to Killie.

McCrorie reportedly told the Ibrox team that he wanted to leave the team in order to play more minutes. He is now expected to sign a two-year contract with the Scottish Premiership team.

Rangers’ Robby McCrorie is expected to depart as the Kilmarnock deal approaches.

Although his skill is undeniable, he has consistently been unable to establish himself in the starting lineup and is typically sent on loan.

Since 2015, he has had loan stints with Queen of South Africa, Berwick Rangers, Greenock Morton, and Livingston, where he has gained experience and opportunities away from Ibrox.

The move makes sense for all sides, though, as his development still appears to be stalling and he shows signs of becoming a first-choice under Philippe Clement—especially with the acquisition of Liam Kelly.

Despite spending nearly ten years with Rangers, McCrorie only has seven senior appearances to his credit since he was never given the opportunity to establish himself.

Given that Jack Butland has been starting goal for the last campaign, it makes sense that the 26-year-old is looking to start a new chapter in his career and is upset with his lack of playing time.

Robby McCrorie looks set to leave Rangers this summer

This summer, Ibrox will see a lot of changes as Clement has already brought in Hamza Igamane, Connor Barron Clinton Nsiala and Jefte, and Oscar Cortes has returned to the team on loan.

Given that the goalie still has a lot to prove on the field, it is reasonable that McCrorie has perceived the rebuild as a means of leaving the team.

As more crisis negotiations over Ibrox lockout take place, Rangers worry about the Hampden relocation possibly lasting until October

Although Chairman John Bennett cannot provide a precise timetable for Ibrox return, he is near to reaching a contract to rent the national stadium.

As concerns rise, Rangers will conduct more crisis talks this week regarding hiring Hampden for the “foreseeable future,” possibly locking them out of Ibrox until October at the earliest.

Chairman John Bennett closes in on a contract to guarantee his club with a temporary home, thus Record Sport knows an Ibrox delegation visited the national stadium last week to be given a complete tour of the facilities.

Murrayfield is still a good choice as well, but as we reported last week, talks concerning a possible takeover of the national stadium have gathered steam and those discussions will linger over the next few days.

After delivering the shocking news that their own ground will not be fit for use when the new season starts, Bennett could make a formal statement next week as an agreement is almost finished and he rushes to keep the supporters informed. Bennett will almost definitely be unable to offer them a specific date for when the Copland Road stand’s continuous renovation is finished, though.

Former chief executive James Bisgrove oversaw the initiative; he left his post for a new one in Saudi Arabia. Unprecedented logjams in the global shipping sector resulting, in part, from continuing hostilities in the Middle East and Ukraine mean that supplies required for the renovation job are now unlikely to arrive in Glasgow until August. They were not ordered on time either.

This implies that the work scheduled to start right following the last home game of last season on May 14 is subject to more delays and is rather unlikely to be finished at any one point over the next three months.

Before Motherwell a week later, Philippe Clement kicked off the domestic season away at Hearts on August 3. Rangers might also have two Champions League qualifying rounds during that month, with UEFA’s enlarged competition under way between September 17 and 19.

“That was the case,” David Edgar said in response to current Rangers transfer news in line with McLean findings

David Edgar says he prefers it to stay that way even though the Rangers’ transfer news is now lacking clarity.

Regarding the Kenny McLean links, the Heart and Hand podcast presenter said he would rather see things done silently behind the scenes.

There are some players connected to Ibrox, but nothing conclusive about any of them definitely joining.

Edgar commented, via Twitter, “A few names but just vague at moment.” In truth, I would much prefer that. Deal silently; then, declare when finished.

This kind of transfer strategy probably will help Rangers.

The clubs gain from the inclination for a subdued approach to disseminate news in numerous ways since it helps them to retain a competitive advantage by hiding their discussions and transfer targets.

This anonymity helps stop competing teams from trying to poach players or meddles.

A subdued attitude can help to preserve player attention and morale.

Avoiding public speculation and rumours helps players focus on their present responsibilities and free from possible distractions from possible transfers.

By not continuously talking about possible moves in the media, a low-key approach can help minimise player burnout since it helps avoid the tension and strain that usually accompany such conversations.

Professionals today are under continual pressure, hence the last thing they would want is everyday questioning.

A few names but just vague at moment. Tbh I’d rather that was the case. Deal quietly and announce when done.

Hopefully, that is what is happening and behind-the-scenes serious work for incoming transfers is under progress.

‘Stunned’: pundit wants Rangers to sign a ‘Top Class’ striker and backs £5 million star for success at Ibrox

Kris Boyd thinks Danilo can become an important player for Rangers after an injury-filled season last year, even though the team needs to get a “top class striker” in the summer.

In his July 5 piece in the Scottish Sun, the Sky Sports commentator said, “I would be stunned” if Philippe Clement hadn’t made the position a priority during his summer overhaul. He also asked the Belgian to bring in a good new player.

In addition, he said that Danilo, a “marquee signing” worth £5 million who came with a “big reputation,” did very well and was seen as the best choice by both Michael Beale and Clement before he was ruled out.

The 25-year-old scored six goals and set up five others across all events before breaking his face and then hurting his knee, ending his season.

But Boyd, who used to score goals at Ibrox, thinks the “aggressive” and “brave” Brazilian will earn back his transfer fee next season. This is because Cyriel Dessers is set to leave because of rising transfer interest [Rangers Review, 3 July].

Kris Boyd thinks Danilo will do well for the Rangers.

There were good signs last season, but Danilo never got into a good flow to show if he could be the 30-plus goal striker the Light Blues need.

Dessers scored 22 goals as the last number nine on the pitch, but there were unanswered questions about whether it should have been a lot more.

The guaranteed arrival of Hamza Igamane has started the process of improving the strike force, but Sam Lammers is likely to be sold soon after getting better on loan, so the young player needs a more experienced partner to go with him.

Rangers want to sign Bojan Miovski, but it might be hard to get him. On the other hand, getting Lawrence Shankland should be much easier, but the club doesn’t seem excited about the move [Scottish Daily Mail, July 1].

Danilo saw his first season at Rangers derailed by multiple serious injuries.

An injured Danilo, Igamane, and a third player with a record similar to those of the two Scottish Premiership stars could give Clement a lot of choices to try to beat Celtic. This is especially true now that a deal to bring Abdallah Sima back on the wing might not be too far away.

Hamza Igamane is about to move from Rangers to Sunderland for £2 million, and he is sad to say goodbye

The star player from Morocco’s Under-23 team is almost Philippe Clement’s sixth summer deal.

This is how Hamza Igamane said goodbye to AS Far Rabat, the striker who is going to Rangers. He is getting ready to seal his move to Ibrox.

This week, the 21-year-old Moroccan starlet will be introduced as Philippe Clement’s sixth summer signing. He has been given the go-ahead to finish his £2 million transfer. Igamane has already made up with Gers on a personal level and has been given a work pass.

Igamane will soon be able to play with his new partners, but the talented young player has already told his old team, AS Far Rabat, how much he appreciates their help in his rise to fame. “My success comes only through Allah,” he wrote on Instagram. I trust Him and turn to Him. It’s time to say goodbye to ASFAR and start a new adventure. My time there was truly amazing and helped shape me into the person I am today. I’m proud to have won two titles with the club I love very much.

“I will always be grateful to President Mohamed Haramou and Vice President Al-Ayoubi, the committee they lead, all of my Askaries, team-mates, coaches, staff, and anyone else who has had any kind of impact on my career.” In my heart, the boss will always be important. “Thank you for everything.”

The star player from Morocco’s Under-23 team will join new Rangers players Jeffte, Oscar Cortes, Clinton Nsiala, Connor Barron, and Liam Kelly.

New signing was seen in Rangers gear; he or he is wearing a 2024–25 shirt

Rangers shared a picture of Clinton Nsiala in his official 2024–25 shirt to show that he has joined the team.

Gers were able to permanently sign the 20-year-old player, who left AC Milan and went to Ibrox on July 1.

So far this summer, Gers have brought in five new players, and Philippe Clement is looking to add more experienced players in the next few weeks.

Rangers need three or more players to make their first team stronger.

Gers have added some talented young players to their team, like Nsiala from AC Milan, showing that they are committed to developing future stars.

This summer, the club brought in five new players with the goal of building a good base for the team.

But as the new season comes, Rangers know how important it is to have a balanced team.

The young players give the team depth and promise, but now they want to add experienced players who can help the first team right away and lead them.

This strategy aims to bring together young energy and experienced knowledge to make sure that Gers are ready to compete at the top level in the 2024–25 season.

At the moment, it doesn’t look like they’ll be able to take the title away from Celtic. That’s why they will need to make some good purchases in the next few weeks.

Chris Sutton calls the news about Rangers and Ibrox “ridiculous,” which could cost them £40 million

After hearing that Ibrox would not be ready for the start of the 2024–25 season, Chris Sutton slammed Rangers.

Chris Jack said on June 20 that the Gers will have to play their first few home games away from Ibrox because of problems with the renovations. This has already led to the firing of one person [The Scottish Sun].

Because of the delay, fans will not be able to watch their team play in the Champions League playoffs at Ibrox. Plans are already being made to find a temporary home.

Sutton wrote in the Daily Record on June 29, 2017, that Rangers fans aren’t interested in moving containers and steel that isn’t there. The fact that they can’t watch their team play at Ibrox is ridiculous.

Rangers should beat Motherwell and Ross County in the first month, even if they have to play them on the moon, but that’s not the point. It must also hurt Clement’s hopes in the Champions League qualifiers.

“In the last few years, Ibrox has been a strong ally in Europe.” If it’s not used for qualifying rounds and the new league part of the competition, another £40 million jackpot could be lost.

Rangers will play their first games of the 2024–25 season away from Ibrox.

The fans of the Glasgow Rangers will know how important the Ibrox crowd would have been for the team’s Champions League games. That’s why one person has already been affected by the delays.

Fans should be able to go back to Ibrox for the first few games of the season, but they can’t since the Copland Road Stand has all summer to get ready.

After coming close to beating Celtic to the Scottish Premiership title, Philippe Clement and his team will be looking to get off to a good start this season.

Motherwell and Ross County are Rangers’ first “home” league games of the season, so everyone will expect them to win all six. But because of what’s going on at Ibrox, the doubt could make everything go wrong.

To be in the running for the league title, the Gers need to get off to the best possible start. They can’t play catch-up like they did for most of last season, with Michael Beale leaving the team in the dark for Clement to fix.

Of course, the loss of money will also have a big impact, but one of the most important things going into the new season will be how happy the fans are.

People make fun of Rangers for what happened at Ibrox; an ex-EPL executive gets angry and says the board will pay for not having any friends

Keith Wyness thinks that the Light Blues should have known that their building work could go wrong.

Keith Wyness, the former CEO of Aberdeen, called the Rangers board “disgraceful” for the Ibrox Stadium delay mess and called them liars because they criticised Dundee last season after their Dens Park match was postponed twice.

Wyness knows how to build venues because he was on the board of the OVO Hydro in Glasgow and was CEO of Pittodrie and played in the English Premier League for Aston Villa and Everton. Now he says that the leaders of the Light Blues should have known that the steel orders from the Far East could cause the building work in the Copland Road Stand to take longer than planned to finish.

Wyness is sure that someone in charge at Rangers knew about the delay “for a while.” He also said that the club’s relationships with rival clubs, like Motherwell and Ross County, might not help with any attempts to change the dates of games, since the Light Blues are set to play both teams at home in August. Wyness said that Rangers are “reaping what they sow.”

The 66-year-old also said that the timing of former CEO James Bisgrove’s departure to join the Saudi Pro League was good given the current situation. Wyness said that Murrayfield was the “only sensible option” to help Rangers get through it.He told Football Insider, “What a mess it was.” The board thinks it’s shameful that this kind of trouble happened.

“I’ve worked on a number of stadium projects, and for seven years I was on the board that built the Hydro in Glasgow.” People who work for them should have known about this; they should have kept a risk register or had the right experts around to tell them about the problems. There is always a risk when supplies come in from other countries. That is a known fact that is taken into account in all of these kinds of projects. It is written down in the risk register, and you make sure it happens.

“What was especially funny about this situation was that Rangers were complaining about Dundee because their pitch wasn’t playable because it hadn’t drained properly. Rangers made a lot of noise about that as a club not making its pitch playable.” Now we’re at a point where Rangers are saying that.

Rangers also need other teams in the league to work with them if they want to switch the schedules. Rangers don’t have many friends in the Premier League. In many ways, they are getting what they deserve. This must have been known for a while by someone, because it’s a big deal. I wouldn’t want to be there trying to help Rangers solve this problem.

“Murrayfield looks like the only smart choice.” The only important thing is that it’s in Edinburgh, not Glasgow. There are a lot of problems with that, like with transportation or police. It could be three months, six months, or even the whole season.

“We’ve seen Spurs move into Wembley and other teams move, but that’s usually when teams are rebuilding a pitch.” It’s only about fixes this time. At the end, there’s no big gain; only a loss of money. I saw that the CEO went to Saudi Arabia, which could have been a very smart move on his part. This must have been known for a while by someone. I don’t want to be the one who has to figure this all out.

Rangers WON’T get an SPFL “sanction” like Dundee did in the middle of the chaos at Ibrox as the Hearts case study is brought back to life

It will be hard for Philippe Clement’s team to be at home in Govan for the first month of the season.

Rangers will not get in trouble with the SPFL because of the lockout at Ibrox, just like Hearts did when they had problems building at Tynecastle.

That’s what former Ibrox custodian Cammy Bell thought. He fought back against claims that the Light Blues should get spanked by league officials, like their foes Dundee did after the Dens Park flood last season.Rangers executives are having a hard time finding a temporary home because their main stadium will be closed for the first month of the 2024–25 season because of delays in improving the Copland Road stand.

Rangers need to find a new place to play their “home” Scottish Premiership games against Ross County and Motherwell in the first month of the year. They also need to find a place to play their important Champions League qualifiers and a possible home Viaplay Cup last 16 match.

Some pundits have compared it to the punishment Dundee got after a string of calls off at Dens Park last season. After two failed attempts, Rangers finally got their away game in the City of Discovery played on Wednesday night, the THIRD time. The Dark Blues have been fined a huge £186,000 and have had £120,000 delayed because of six call-offs this season.

However, Bell thinks that Hearts’ problems in 2017 are more likely to happen. Due to a delay in installing seats in the club’s new main stand, it was decided that three of the first four home games for the Jambos would be played at Murrayfield instead of Firhill. The other home game against Partick Thistle would still be played at Firhill.

Not a single thing was done by the SPFL against the Edinburgh team. Bell told the Clyde 1 Superscoreboard, “The games will happen on the date and time they were planned to.” I think we’re still early enough that there will be an answer. In the next week or two, that solution will be made public.

“The games will happen on the dates they’re supposed to; the only thing that matters is which stadium they’re played at.” I absolutely do not see any connection between this and what happened in Dundee. In the case of Dundee, I thought they were breaking the rules by not taking care of their pitch and making it good enough to hold a game.

Hearts had building problems, and they didn’t get fined, so I don’t think Rangers will either. The problem was found early enough; it wasn’t found a week before the season. I don’t think it’s the same problem as at Dundee because it’s still June and it sounds like they are in advanced talks with the SPFL about where they will be moving to for this short time.

There is still chaos at Ibrox, so the SPFL has blocked Rangers’ fixture of games

The Daily Record says that Rangers will still have to host home games to start the Scottish Premiership season, even though there are still problems at Ibrox.

According to the source, the SPFL is waiting to talk to the Gers about “potential switches” until Thursday, June 27, when the matches are made public.

This means that Rangers are “very unlikely” to start the season with only away games because of problems at the stadium.

Even though they won’t be able to host games at Ibrox to start the season, their first home games will not be switched with away games.

Rangers had to play at home even though Ibrox was closed.

The building work at Ibrox has been pushed back, so it’s still not likely that the Gers will play their first games there.

Because of this, the club has thought about using other venues, like Murrayfield, as alternatives, but that could cause problems anyway.

Fans who will have to move far away, even for just a few games, will find it annoying to have to pack up and move.

No one in charge of the Rangers would ever agree to the idea that they should play all of their first games away from home.

If that happened, by the end of the season there would be an unfair edge as they would have almost every game at Ibrox.

Rangers fans at Ibrox

There will be times when it is frustrating to move, but that is the only way to solve the problems.

We got ourselves into a bad spot, and Philippe Clement will be hoping that it doesn’t hurt his team’s form.

Report: Player was seen at Auchenhowie, and Rangers are expected to pay a £525,000 transfer fee

The Daily Record says that Connor Barron, who recently signed with Rangers, was seen at Auchenhowie after completing a permanent move to Ibrox.

The news source said on June 24 that Gers still have to pay Aberdeen a £525,000 fee unless they go to court and try their luck.

That’s because the Dons should get paid because the 21-year-old came up through their academy and played 76 times for the first team.

Connor Barron will want to make the Rangers first team all the time.

After moving from Aberdeen, the 21-year-old midfielder will be eager to make a name for himself as a regular member of the first team at Ibrox.

Because of his experience and skills, he could make a big difference right away in the next season.

Barron’s ability to switch between different midfield roles could be very helpful for Philippe Clement.

The midfielder’s first impressions in preseason training will be very important. To show Clement that he deserves a spot in the starting lineup, he will need to show off his technical skills, tactical knowledge, and physical fitness.

Barron has already played in the Scottish Premiership with Aberdeen, which will help him quickly get used to the demands of playing for a top team like Rangers.

Rangers signed Connor Barron on a free transfer

Additionally, Barron’s ability to grow even more with Clement’s help could be a big plus in his favour.

There will be sales of Ibrox stars after the player passes his medical to join Rangers, according to a report

The Scottish Sun says that Hamza Igamane passed a medical before Rangers made their official announcement that he would be joining the team at Ibrox.

On Saturday, June 22, the newspaper said on their website that Igamane, who is 21 years old, had agreed to join Govan on a five-year deal after leaving FAR Rabat in Morocco.

It is expected that he will be named Philippe Clement’s fifth summer signing within the next 48 hours. A fee of £2.5 million has already been agreed upon.

This summer, Jefte, Oscar Cortes, Clinton Nsiala, and Connor Barron have all already signed with Rangers. Also, Mohamed Diomande’s loan deal has been turned into a permanent one.

A lot of players could now leave Ibrox, according to The Scottish Sun. James Tavernier, Connor Goldson, and Todd Cantwell are all names that could be cut.

Who is Hamza Igamane, the new player that Rangers bought?

Igamane is not a player that Rangers fans would have known about before he was linked with a move to Ibrox this summer.

The 21-year-old is a striker who scored seven goals in 23 games across all competitions for FAR Rabat last season, helping them finish second in the Botola Pro, which is Morocco’s top league. He scored six goals in 18 league games in 2022–23, and his team won the title, making him the club’s youngest champion ever.

It’s clear that the Scottish Premiership is a step up from the Moroccan top flight, which is thought to be the best league in Africa. However, coming in having already won a title is a good thing. There are also some huge stadiums in Morocco that have very hostile atmospheres. Igamane will have been even better prepared for the Old Firm, which is like a pressure cooker.

Igamane has also won a lot of international games. With Morocco, he won the U23 African Cup of Nations.

There will definitely be a change in culture when I move from Rabat to Glasgow. Rabat is a city known for its scorching heat and beautiful architecture. But he has shown signs of being someone who has grown up in the country where he was born and is likely to cause trouble in Europe.

‘He’ll go to…’: A former teammate talks about what a £5 million Rangers target told him about the summer transfer period

Soon after signing Mohammed Diomande in January, Philippe Clement said that Ibrox might not be the end of the midfielder’s journey.

“Certainly (he can do better)” “Not just the next few weeks, but also the months and years,” Clement said of the Ivory Coast player who was brought in on loan from Nordsjaelland.”He’s a very good player, and I don’t think Rangers will be his last stop.”

„Of course, you need some luck with injuries to make it in this business. He will take bigger steps, though, if he stays away from that.

Would Albion Rrahmani join Diomande on the blue side of Glasgow? If so, could he also begin a journey that takes him to the top of the European game?

Rangers have kept Talks with Alboon Rrahmani

The Rapid Bucharest striker, who is worth £7 million, has a lot of drive and talent.

Rangers are said to have started talking two weeks ago. It is said that Director Nils Koppen met with Rrahmani’s agent in Mexico.

It looks more likely than not that the Romanian group will split up this summer. A number was given by Rapid co-owner Vincent Angelescu: the player with the most goals (19) was “80%” likely to have a new club by the start of next season.

Which club, though?

Rrahmani and Alexandru Albu played together at Rapid, but Albu didn’t say for sure where the Kosovo international would end up. But, like with Diomande, he thinks that Rrahmani could go beyond the level of the Scottish Premiership in the next few years.

“He is a valuable player, and it is hard for valuable players to stay in our championship,” Albu tells Orange Sport. “If he leaves, I’m sure he will go to a big team.”

“What the player decides is very important here, not just what the club decides, because the player also wants to prove that he is a great football player.” Rachanani wants to get as high as he can.

“He told me that he wants to get to a top team.” This means “top ten (in Europe)”

Rangers are also interested in Hamza Igamane.

In that case, Rangers might be a smart move in the right direction. After winning the Golden Boot with Ballkani in Kosovo and then being just as productive in Romania, Rrahmani’s skills would be seen by a lot more people if he played for Rangers in Europe.

That’s why Albu is sure that the 23-year-old poacher can do anything.

The player who left Rapid Bucharest at the end of last season says, “He is very good, and I think he can get to the top of the European game.” “But take it one step at a time.”

Sport Bull, a Romanian newspaper, says that Rangers think Rrahmani is worth £5 million. Rapid, on the other hand, want around £7 million. The real amount may be somewhere in the middle, though.

What the Rangers’ pursuit of Hamza Igamane means for that Rrahmani chase, on the other hand, is still unknown. The Daily Record says the RAF Rabat forward will cost less than £2 million. Will there be room at Ibrox for another number nine?

Even though Kemar Roofe has already left, Clement can use both Cyriel Dessers and Danilo. Will someone have to move to make room for two new people?

It’s not likely that Rangers will sign a “young player with enormous potential” to play with Clement again

Any hopes the Rangers still had of signing a player who won a championship in one of Europe’s major leagues last season went up in smoke on Wednesday.

Around the end of last year, Rangers’ pursuit of the 19-year-old midfielder seemed more and more likely to lead to a deal.

TEAMtalk says that the Glasgow giants were in the running for Noah Mbamba. He is a Belgium Under-21 player and used to work with Philippe Clement at Club Brugge in Belgium.

Also, it was Clement who gave Mbamba his first senior game when he was only 16. He even played against Manchester City in the Champions League, when most of his friends would have been thinking about high school and college.

According to Clement three years ago, “He shows a lot every day in training.”

You should be careful because he has worked hard. There is still a long way to go. I’ll do the same thing with him as I did with Charles De Ketelaere, who finally joined AC Milan for £30 million. Give him time to play and let him grow without expecting too much from him. We need to help him grow little by little.

Rangers will not be getting Noah Mbamba.

Leverkusen didn’t give him many chances to play for the first team, so joining Rangers and working with a coach he knew well seemed like the next best thing. But Rangers chose to sign Mohammed Diomande from Nordsjaelland instead in January of the next year.

It is now expected that the Glasgow giants will also sign Connor Barron, who is no longer under contract.

After the Mbamba rumours died down, Bundesliga newcomers Fortuna Dusseldorf jumped at the chance to sign the teenager for the 2024–25 season.

Mbamba only played three times during Leverkusen’s Bundesliga-winning season under Xabi Alonso. He will play for Fortuna on loan this season.

On the official website, Klaus Allofs, Board Member for Sport and Communication, talks about Fortuna’s new player as “a young player with enormous potential.” “We’re confident that he will do very well in our setting and quickly make our team stronger.”

“We had to take the chance to loan a player with this much talent, even though we don’t have the option to buy.”

Young star from Bayer Leverkusen goes on loan

Rangers have not come back for Mbamba, which may surprise some people. Even more so now that John Lundstram and Ryan Jack have left. Diomande had already shown that he was worthy of a permanent move to Ibrox, and Barron came with a track record in the Scottish game. It’s possible that a 19-year-old who had barely played any senior football in 2023–24 was seen as too much of a risk.

Fortuna, on the other hand, clearly thought that the possible benefits were greater than those worries.

Christian Weber, Fortuna’s sporting director, says, “With Noah, we’re getting a player who can play in a lot of different positions in the middle and who has great physical and football skills.”

“Because he is so good for Leverkusen, he has only been used occasionally lately.” Despite his youth, he has already shown his skill at the highest level. He should now take the next step in his development by practicing matches with us on a regular basis.

Rangers is also getting close to signing Liam Kelly, a former Motherwell custodian.Also, a striker is likely to come in. Albion Rrahmani from Rapid Bucharest and Hamza Igamame

from RAF Rabat are both being considered.

An insider says the Gers will be able to have their cake and eat it too, since Koppen is linked to two exciting strikers

When it comes to Rangers, strikers are like Glasgow buses.

After waiting a long time for one, two show up at once.

Fans of Rangers are hoping that this will happen because of the high-profile links to both Hamza Igamane and Albion Rrahmani.

Rangers are almost done with a £1.7 million deal to sign Hamza Igamane from FAR Rabat in Morocco. The news came out over the weekend.

This deal has Ibrox fans more and more excited as time has gone on and more clips have been watched. The player is thought to be one of the best young strikers in the world.

People worry that the deal has stopped people from wanting to hire Rapid Bucharest’s Kosovan hitman Albion Rrahmani.

The president of the Romanian club laughing a bid all the way out of Bucharest hasn’t helped this idea.

The situation has been talked over by Four Lads Had a Dream’s Stevie Clifford, who is a leading Rangers insider. He isn’t sure these two transfers are connected.

“Rangers are after number nines.”

His Four Lads Had a Dream website is one of the most well-known Ibrox fan sites. Stevie Clifford is known to have close ties to Rangers.

Clifford talked about the Rangers’ ties to Hamza Igamane and Albion Rrahmani on the platform’s most recent podcast.

This summer, the host of “Four Lads Had a Dream” confirmed that Rangers are looking for more firepower. He also said that the Gers might play with four strikers next season.

It comes as Danilo comes back from injury and Cyriel Dessers, who is currently the ninth player, is not in a hurry to leave.

“Rangers are interested in nines for sure,” Clifford said on the podcast.

“The bid for Rrahmani may not have been enough, and they’ve moved on.” We’ll find out when the time comes.

“I believe we need two nines and Danilo to join the team.” I also don’t think Cyriel Dessers is too eager to move.

What are Igamane, Rahamani, Danilo, and Dessers?

You can understand why Rangers fans might have thought that the news about Hamza Igamane might have hurt Albion Rrahmani.

After all, Rangers had been linked to the Kosovan striker for a long time this summer.

But Football Scotland says Rangers are still “in pole position” to sign the forward this summer, which makes the links to Igamane more interesting.

Rangers’ front line will definitely get bigger before next season if they can make a deal for both players. Danilo and Cyriel Dessers will also be there.

Fans will have to “watch this space” until any deals are official, but for now, Stevie Clifford’s comments will only make them want to learn more.

It’s now up to Nils Koppen and Philippe Clement to close the deals before next week’s start of pre-season training.

Apparently £3m Rangers star put himself in the shop window after admitting he wanted to leave Ibrox

Sometime during Ianis Hagi’s time with the Rangers, it looked like he was going to be the best player in the world.

Rangers pulled off something of a coup when they signed the kid on loan from KRC Genk in January 2020. He was once one of the most promising young players in Europe.

Ianis Hagi showed he was very talented with a stunning comeback double in the Europa League win over Braga. A few months later, we signed him to a permanent deal for £3 million.

After a season and a 55th medal, Ianis Hagi was becoming an important part of Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s Ibrox puzzle.

But bad luck struck when Hagi hurt his cruciate ligament, and he has never fully recovered at Rangers.

The playmaker’s future is uncertain because he spent last season on loan at Spanish club Alavés. The 25-year-old has been promoting himself for Euro 2024.

Hagi plays in a romp in Romania

We all know that Ianis Hagi is the son of the famous Romanian playwright Gheorghe Hagi.

This is why it says in the football stars that the attacking midfielder will play at Euro 2024 with Romania this summer.

After scoring the important goal that sent the country to Germany (a fairy tale after the Rangers star’s injury problems), even less playing time in Spain wasn’t likely to stop a call-up.

Now, Hagi has just come off the bench as Romania beats Ukraine 3-0 to get off to a great start in the Euros for the first time since 2016.

In the first half, Nicolae Stanciu scored the first goal for Romania. In the second half, Razvan Marin and Denis Dragus scored the rest of the goals.

After the hour mark, Ianis Hagi came on for Denis Man and was seen leading the celebrations when the game was over.

Future of Rangers not decided

Ianis Hagi said this summer that he wasn’t sure about his future with Rangers, so the Euro 2024 appearance comes as a surprise.

Hagi has said that he is focusing on his duties in Romania, so it’s still not clear what’s going on with him, even though it was thought that he might be going back to Rangers.

Many people at Ibrox aren’t sure what will happen with Ianis’s future, but the playmaker can’t say for sure if he’ll be back at Rangers after the tournament in Germany.

At the beginning of June, Hagi said, “My attention is on the Euros.” “I spoke with my agents, and the heat is on them.”

I want them to know what I want for my future. This summer is very important for me in every way. That’s what I told them before I went to the national team.

“I expect them to do everything they can to help me find the right team and manager.”

“I don’t know if I’ll be at Rangers or somewhere else.” My agents decide what will happen to me.

Ianis Hagi has played 99 games for Rangers and has scored 16 goals and set up 21 others.

The playmaker has also played 36 times for Romania and scored five goals.

Rangers really need to get Damian Garcia after two permanent departures from Ibrox have been confirmed

Derek Ferguson says that every team needs players like Damian Garcia, but Rangers need him more than anyone else right now because they’ve lost two senior midfielders.

On June 5, Football Scotland said that the Light Blues were interested in the Uruguayan midfielder during Philippe Clement’s transfer window.

And after the club confirmed that both John Lundstram and Ryan Jack would be leaving because their contracts were up, the Ibrox midfield looks empty. Ferguson, who used to play in that position, thinks Garcia would be a good addition in the same way that Stuart McCall was.

Jefte, Clinton Nsiala, and Oscar Cortes are the three 20-year-olds that Clement has already signed. Ferguson likes to sign young players from other countries because their desire to make the move shows that they are hungry.

He told Ibrox News only, “They brought him in for a reason; they did their research.”Philippe Clement is doing everything he says he is doing right now with the hiring, with Koppen coming in.

“These young men are being sought out.” When they lose players like Lundstram and Ryan Jack, they miss out on players who could do more than just destroy the other team.

“But this kid looks like the kind of person who likes playing defensive midfield, which is a role I think every team needs.”

“Look at the Rangers.” McCall came to Rangers even after I left. He was great in that part. It was hard for him to let the other team’s playmakers do their jobs because he stopped the game.

“You need that kind of person all the time.” Stuart could play too, and I’m sure this kid can too.

“Obviously, they like something about him, and I like that. Again, as a young 20-year-old, he’ll be hungry and have a lot to prove, and I think that’s what we need at Rangers.”

“I love the hunger of young players, but we need to find the right balance. You can’t just bring in all young players.” To see how good they are, they’re ready to go to another country.

Ryan Jack and John Lundstram leave the Rangers because their contracts are up.

John Lundstram is one of two Rangers midfielders to leave already along with Ryan Jack.

The news on June 12 that Garcia was going to sign a new deal with Penarol (Dario Alberti) that included a $10 million (£7.9 million) release clause is bad news for Rangers.

Because of how busy Clement and Nils Koppen are at Ibrox this summer, they can’t pay that much, even though John Bennett has said there is money to spend [Daily Record, 14 June]. This means he can’t leave for a cheap price with only a few months left on his contract, but it doesn’t mean a transfer won’t happen.

As for the Light Blues, they need at least two more players in central midfield. If Garcia doesn’t prove to be one of them, they’ll have to move for Connor Barron and keep looking for more players.

Pundit feels bad that Rangers might have to sell first-team player; calls it “horrible and heartbreaking”

Derek Ferguson said that if Kieran Dowell leaves Rangers this summer to go to England, the club will send him their “best wishes.”

As Philippe Clement changes his team, the Gers midfielder’s future is uncertain. In his Daily Record column on June 2, Kenny Miller said he had “no impact” and the manager would be open to offers. Meanwhile, on May 28, Chris Jack wrote for Rangers Review that a return to Scotland “looks on the cards.”

Ferguson, who used to love playing at Ibrox, agrees that the 26-year-old’s move from Norwich a year ago hasn’t worked out after only 16 games in all competitions, most of which came off the bench.

The commentator agrees that injuries are very hard on players, but they insist that the club must be “ruthless” when they try to get better during the transfer window.

He told Ibrox News in an exclusive interview, “Listen, I’m not making fun of boys who are hurt; it must be terrible and heartbreaking for them.” But Rangers have to be cruel, we can’t have that.

“I know it’s a contact sport, but the way things are going, it’s becoming a non-contact sport. You can see a player there, but he doesn’t play enough games and isn’t fit enough.

“That’s why we wish him luck if he goes to England and finds a club there.”

“Nonetheless, it has not occurred to him at Rangers, as it has not occurred to a number of them.”

Philippe Clement has to be “ruthless” with Rangers during the summer transfer window

Rangers need Philippe Clement to be “ruthless” during the summer transfer window.

The move from Norwich to Rangers is hard for Kieran Dowell.

After John Lundstram and Ryan Jack left because their contracts were up, Clement doesn’t have a lot of midfield options, though a deal for Connor Barron could happen soon. But, like Jack, it hasn’t mattered much if Dowell was in the squad or not because he hasn’t been fit to play.

Injuries don’t affect anyone more than the player who gets hurt, but Rangers have had more of a problem with them lately than most teams.

Dowell was a signing by Michael Beale, and when a new manager takes over, players that were brought in by the previous manager may not be available. Since he was a free agent, it might not take a huge offer to get him.

‘We’re saying goodbye’: The club has confirmed that the Rangers target is leaving after receiving a “strong” offer from Ibrox

The truth wasn’t really a secret. However, it’s still good to know for sure. One of the Rangers’ main summer targets will be free this summer.

Free agents aren’t really free, though.

No matter when a player’s contract ends, there are still agent fees, signing-on fees, and wage demands that are often higher because there is no transfer fee. Although Connor Barron won’t get an insanely high signing-on bonus like Kylian Mbappe does when he joins Real Madrid (£85 million), Rangers also wouldn’t be able to just grab the highly-rated midfielder without spending a dime.

The Daily Record says that Rangers would still have to pay Aberdeen a fee, but it would be a lot less than what the player is worth on the market. Rangers could be taken to court if they can’t agree on a fee. Barron is now free to sign a contract at Ibrox.

 

To get Connor Barron, the Rangers want to win the race.

There is a “strong offer” for Barron to move to Glasgow, and he is likely to decide next week. In the English Championship, Swansea City, Cardiff, Stoke, and Wayne Rooney’s Plymouth Argyle are all fans of him.

Italy is also interested. Bologna, which is going to the Champions League, wants to get into Scottish football again after the success of Aaron Hickey and Lewis Ferguson as captain.

After that, no one knows where Barron is working in 2024 or 25. But Aberdeen is not going to be it.The Dons confirmed on Friday that the Scotland Under-21 international is one of several senior players who will be leaving in July. These players include goalkeeper Kelle Roos and former Celtic winger Jonny Hayes.

A statement on the Aberdeen website says, “Now that the 2023–24 season is over, we can fill you in on our first team squad for the coming season.”

“We are sad to lose Kelle Roos, Connor Barron, Anthony Stewart, and of course Jonny Hayes from our first team.”

“The club made Connor a number of offers to try and keep him at Aberdeen.” He has chosen, though, that his future will be somewhere else.

Aberdeen confirms that their star midfielder is leaving.

Would Barron choose the Rangers? If so, he would do what Scott Wright and Ryan Jack did. It looks like he will be a good fit to replace the latter, since the former Aberdeen captain is leaving the team, making room for an aggressive, all-around central midfielder like Barron.

Barry Ferguson, who has led Rangers to five Scottish Premiership titles, would love to see one of the best young players in the country follow in his royal blue footsteps.

After all, Ferguson has criticised his old team for not making better use of local talent, since Josh Doig, Hickey, and his nephew Lewis all left Scotland to play for other teams.

As the race to sign Barron heats up, Ferguson now tells Go Radio, “I think he’s a good young player.”

“Will he really make the Rangers midfield stronger?” It’s hard when you play for a team like Aberdeen and have a lot of responsibility. What people want and expect…

“But he plays well.” I think I would go with the price and give him a chance. I have been impressed by Aberdeen when I have seen him.

“But going to Rangers is a whole other story.”

Clement’s team also wants to sign another Scottish free agent. In the summer, keeper Liam Kelly will be leaving Livingston.

Rangers to accept big money offer ‘too good to turn down’ for exit-linked defender, according to report

The Rangers Review says that the team might be tempted to take an offer for Ridvan Yilmaz.

The online news source said on June 13 that the Gers are not actively trying to sell the left back in order to make room for summer transfers.

Things might change, though, if the right offer comes along.

It costs money to keep Yilmaz at the club. Philippe Clement wants to spend the rest of his career with the 23-year-old, but that could change if the club gets an offer they “couldn’t refuse.”

Philippe Clement will want to keep Ridvan Yilmaz at Rangers.

This summer, Clement will try to keep Yilmaz.

The defender did a great job for the Belgian until March, when he got hurt and couldn’t play anymore. The fact that the Gers’ form dropped in April and May shows how Yilmaz changed the team.

He has been hurt a lot during his two seasons with the team, but the Rangers Review says that the Gers are sure that those problems will be fixed during pre-season.

If the club keeps Yilmaz, they will have two very good left-back options now that Jefte is there.

That depth could be very important for Clement’s team next season as they try to take the Scottish Premiership away from Celtic.

There have been rumours that Yilmaz might leave the club. On June 10, the Turkish newspaper Sabah said that Besiktas had made an offer to re-sign the player.

Yilmaz’s agent, Necdet Ergezen, told Gokmen Ozcan on June 10 that the player has no plans to go back to Turkey right now, which suggests he would be willing to stay at Ibrox.

Rangers to shell out £7.7m to seal new deal

Rangers want to sign Damian Garcia for £7.7 million.

It looks like Rangers will have to pay around £7.7 million to get Penarol midfielder Damian Garcia.

Ibrox wanted to sign the 20-year-old player, according to a report from Football Scotland on June 5th. It is likely that Nils Koppen had talks to sign him in Cancun.

But if Gers still want to sign him this summer, things will be harder because Dario Alberti says he will sign a new deal that lasts until 2026.

The reporter for Sport 890 said that they would add a £7.7 million release clause to the deal to protect their own interests.

In a tweet, Alberti said, “Tomorrow, Damián García’s contract with Peñarol will be renewed until December 2026.” Their pay will go up, and they can leave for a US$10,000,000 fee. It was over for Ruglio and Lasalvia on their trip to Mexico.

Rangers aren’t likely to spend a lot of money on Damian Garcia.

Garcia is only 20 years old, so he hasn’t shown much talent yet, especially outside of Uruguay.

He has shown promise in his home country, but that doesn’t mean he’ll be able to do the same in a more competitive league like the Scottish Premiership.

Garcia has also not yet made a big name for himself on the international stage.

Even though he played well in the under-20 World Cup, the demands of senior club football are very different from playing youth international football.

Rangers would be taking a big risk by putting that much money into a player who hasn’t played much yet.

Trying to get Damian Garcia doesn’t fit with the Rangers’ plan for making transfers.

Gers should instead focus on talented people who have already been around for a while.

The club doesn’t have a lot of money to spend on transfers, and it would be a waste to spend a lot of it on a player who is still learning the game.

There are probably cheaper options that can help the first team right away.

🚨 ATENCIÓN: Mañana se firmará la renovación del contrato de Damián García con Peñarol hasta diciembre de 2026. El jugador tendrá un aumento salarial y una cláusula de salida de U$S 10.000.000.

One more thing that needs to be thought about is Philippe Clement’s suggestions. If he can’t take the club to the next level, he will be held accountable.

Ibrox view: Rangers are getting close to deciding whether to bring back Abdallah Sima, and Brighton is about to set a record-setting goal score

Since Brighton is about to hire a new manager, Abdallah Sima will soon know if his future includes going back to Rangers.

The Senegalese forward was a great addition to Glasgow’s team last season. He scored 16 goals across all competitions while mostly playing off the left wing, even though he was hurt for three months from January to April.

That return is a big part of how many goals Michael Beale and Philippe Clement scored last season, which makes a deal to keep him at Ibrox appealing if it works out financially.

There have been several public statements by Sima saying that he would like to stay at Rangers if an agreement can be reached between the two clubs.

Rangers Review said on June 6 that he probably wouldn’t be told about his future until Brighton hired a new manager. They fired Roberto De Zerbi at the end of the season, and now they’re about to do that.

Fabian Hurzeler will take over for Roberto De Zerbi at the Amex

Sky Sports reported on June 9 that the Seagulls had gotten Fabian Hurzeler, the manager of St. Pauli, a work permit. If he takes over at the Amex, the 31-year-old will become the youngest Premier League manager ever.

After a day, Fabrizio Romano said that the German is likely to sign a deal down south in the next 48 hours, while talks on a compensation deal for the record-breaking move continue.

It’s clear that what Hurzeler plans to do with Sima will have a big impact on the 22-year-old’s future. If the coach doesn’t see him in the plans for next season, it would make it more likely that he comes back to the Rangers.

The wide player hasn’t played for his parent club yet because he moved to the Light Blues after loans at Stoke City and Angers.

Derek Ferguson of Ibrox News, on the other hand, isn’t sure if the club can afford to sign Sima to a permanent deal because he thinks it would cost eight figures.

It would cost a lot to sign Rangers for good.

Because they bought him for £6 million from Slavia Prague in 2021, the Seagulls probably won’t want to let him go for free. However, The Athletic reported at the time of the original deal that there was thought to be an option for an extra year.

If Hurzeler doesn’t think Sima is ready to play in the Premier League, and the player has made it clear that he feels at home at Rangers, Brighton could choose to exercise his contract option and let him come back on a second loan deal, unless they get a better offer from somewhere else.

As a result, the English club is almost certain to get a new manager, which will be a big step towards Sima finding out where he will play next season.
