14:52 — Hull boss admits regret over letting Pandur join Rangers
Hull City manager Sergej Jakirovic says he is “sorry” to have lost goalkeeper Ivor Pandur to Rangers this summer, though he conceded the £6m sale — with Jack Butland moving to Hull in part-exchange for £3m — was forced by Financial Fair Play constraints rather than a desire to cash in.
Pandur remains on holiday following his World Cup involvement and is not due at Auchenhowie until Monday 20 July, leaving a tight turnaround before the Premiership opener against Dundee United on 31 July and pre-season friendlies against Saint-Etienne and West Ham.

12:19 — Rangers eye Makhanya as double midfield chase rumbles on
Rangers Review reports that the club has prioritised bringing in a central defender, a centre-midfielder and a right-wing option this summer, with an inverted left-footed player said to be favoured by Derek McInnes.
Philadelphia Union’s South African World Cup squad member Olwethu Makhanya, 22, has emerged as a shortlisted option to strengthen the back line, while midfield attention remains centred on Tromso’s Jens Hjerto-Dahl and Partizan Belgrade’s Vanja Dragojevic, with talks ongoing on both fronts. Leicester’s Stephy Mavididi is also under consideration as the Foxes prepare for League One life, with John Souttar and Danilo both potential makeweights heading the other way.

12:15 — Sheffield United move ahead in Souttar race as Raskin interest grows
Sky Sports’ transfer centre says Leicester City remain keen on reuniting with John Souttar under former Ibrox boss Russell Martin, but reports from the72.co.uk and The Sun claim Sheffield United have now moved ahead in the race for the centre-back, who was left out of Derek McInnes’ Spain training camp this week. No fee or move has been confirmed by either club.
On the other side of the ledger, Rangers have rejected an opening bid of £12-14m from Hull City for Nicolas Raskin and are holding out for a fee in excess of £20m following his World Cup performances. Rangers Review reports that Atalanta and Real Betis have both registered interest in the Belgian, adding to competition from Bologna, though Ibrox insists it is not actively looking to sell.
08:48 — Danilo nears Botafogo return as Rangers open Mavididi talks
08:48 — Danilo nears Botafogo return as Rangers open Mavididi talks
Rangers striker Danilo is closing in on a return to Brazilian football, with Botafogo now at an advanced stage of talks over a deal, according to Sky Sports and corroborated by Brazilian outlets FogãoNET and Antenados no Futebol. The 27-year-old was left out of Derek McInnes’ pre-season training camp in Spain, and Botafogo are keen to bring him back following Chris Ramos’ expected departure to Real Oviedo. Danilo, who joined Rangers from Feyenoord in 2023, still has two years left on his Ibrox contract.
With that exit taking shape, McInnes has moved on a possible replacement: journalist Mark Hendry reports Rangers have opened talks with Leicester City over a deal for winger Stephy Mavididi, with the Foxes holding out for around £7million following their relegation to League One. The 28-year-old scored 14 goals and added six assists last season, and McInnes is assessing wide attacking options over the coming days.
06:54 — State of play: where every Rangers transfer saga stands this morning
Tuesday was one of Derek McInnes’ busiest single days of the summer so far, and little has changed overnight, so here is where each live Ibrox saga stands heading into Wednesday. Hull City’s opening £12-14million bid for Nicolas Raskin was knocked back, with Rangers holding out for a fee in excess of £20million and Atalanta, Real Betis and Bologna all still circling the Belgium midfielder.
John Souttar continues to edge towards an Ibrox exit, with Leicester City — now managed by his former Rangers boss Russell Martin — the leading contenders, though no fee or move has been agreed. In midfield, all three top targets remain unresolved: Bologna captain Lewis Ferguson is valued around €17million, Tromso’s Jens Hjerto-Dahl has already seen one Rangers bid rejected, and Sturm Graz’s Ryan Fosso remains part of a five-club European chase. Youssef Chermiti has moved to calm exit talk after Rangers rebuffed a Lyon enquiry, insisting he is happy at Ibrox.
Away from the first team, Rangers confirmed academy prospect Kyle Glasgow’s first professional contract and sent fellow youngster Max Cameron out on a season-long loan to Alloa Athletic. Full round-up: Rangers Transfer Window 2026 Talking Points & Facts – 14th July.
21:15 — Cardiff City see Hjerto-Dahl bid knocked back as Rangers stay out in front
Cardiff City have entered the race for Tromso midfielder Jens Hjerto-Dahl, with Norwegian outlet iTromso reporting the Championship side had a bid ‘significantly higher’ than Rangers’ rumoured opening offer turned down by the Eliteserien leaders.
The Scottish Sun, however, says no official bid has yet been submitted by Rangers for the 20-year-old, despite Derek McInnes’ side being seen as his preferred destination. Hjerto-Dahl said this week he would relish the chance to play in an Old Firm derby, adding he ‘still prefers Rangers over Besiktas’ among his suitors.
20:50 — Rangers knock back opening Hull City bid for Nicolas Raskin
Rangers have turned down an opening bid from Hull City in the region of £12-14m for midfielder Nicolas Raskin, with Ibrox holding out for a fee in excess of £20m. The newly-promoted Premier League club lodged the offer as their first concrete move for the Belgium international.
Rangers Review and the BBC both report the Gers are aware of further interest elsewhere, including from Bologna and Tottenham, and are in no rush to sell below their valuation.
19:50 — Souttar edges closer to Ibrox exit as Leicester interest firms up
John Souttar looks to be closing in on a Rangers exit, with Leicester City — now managed by his former Ibrox boss Russell Martin — the leading contenders for his signature. The Scotsman reports the centre-back was left out of Derek McInnes’ pre-season training camp in Spain this week as the head coach begins a summer clearout.
The move would reunite Souttar with Martin, who had him at Ibrox during a brief spell last season, with his younger brother Harry already at Leicester adding to the appeal. No fee or move has been confirmed by either club.
18:15 — DONE DEAL: Kyle Glasgow signs first pro contract, Max Cameron out on loan to Alloa
DONE DEAL: Rangers have handed academy prospect Kyle Glasgow his first professional contract, while fellow prospect Max Cameron has completed a season-long cooperation loan move to Alloa Athletic, the club have confirmed.
The 16-year-old Glasgow is rewarded for his rapid rise through the age groups, while 17-year-old forward Cameron heads to Alloa having helped Rangers sweep Under-17 and Under-19 honours last season.

17:20 — State of play: three sagas still unresolved as Rangers push midfield rebuild
None of Rangers’ three live midfield pursuits are close to completion as things stand. Bologna’s Lewis Ferguson remains a boyhood-connection target — his father Derek and uncle Barry both Ibrox men — but Bologna’s valuation of €17-25m is well above what Rangers can offer. A £5.3m opening bid for Tromso’s Jens Hjerto-Dahl was rejected, with the Norwegians holding out for around £7.5-8.5m, while Turkish competition has emerged. And Sturm Graz’s Ryan Fosso, eyed as a defensive anchor alongside a possible Nicolas Raskin exit, remains a five-club chase.

11:40 — Chermiti happy at Ibrox despite Lyon’s interest
Youssef Chermiti has moved to calm transfer talk, insisting he is settled at Ibrox even after Lyon made an enquiry that was rebuffed by Rangers’ minimum £20m valuation of the striker.
Speaking to the Rangers Review, the Portugal U21 international said he is “very happy” in Glasgow and focused solely on the season ahead, with Danilo instead the more likely striker to move on amid interest from Brazil, the Netherlands and Greece.

11:20 — Rangers open talks over Sturm Graz’s Ryan Fosso as Ferguson pursuit stalls
With Bologna continuing to hold out for a club-record fee in excess of £17m for Lewis Ferguson, Football Transfers and Rangers News report that Ibrox have opened talks over Sturm Graz midfielder Ryan Fosso as an alternative option, though Serie A’s Torino and La Liga side Levante are also credited with interest in the Cameroon international.
It comes as Nicolas Raskin’s own situation rumbles on, with reports linking the Belgian to a Championship move worth around £14m, at odds with Rangers’ own push in recent days to value him nearer £25m.
11:05 — Souttar edges towards Ibrox exit as Leicester interest strengthens
John Souttar has been left out of Rangers’ pre-season training camp in Spain, and the Scotsman and Rangers Review both report that Derek McInnes is ready to sanction his departure this summer.
Leicester City, managed by Russell Martin, are being described as the leading destination for the centre-back, whose four-year Ibrox career looks set to end despite penning a contract extension back in February.
22:46 — Monday round-up: Ferguson and Raskin fees still the story
Monday’s Talking Points recap confirmed Derek McInnes’s first Ibrox squad is starting to settle, six weeks into the job, even as Lewis Ferguson and Nicolas Raskin both edge closer to the exit. Bologna are said to want a club-record fee for Ferguson, while Rangers have pushed Raskin’s asking price up towards £25m.
With the Scottish Premiership opener at Dundee United now 18 days away, the midfield reinforcement search first flagged after Tromso’s rejection of an opening Hjerto-Dahl bid continues.
22:05 — McInnes says he has boardroom backing as Ibrox rebuild continues
Derek McInnes says he has been given “a load of encouragement” from the Ibrox boardroom, telling the Rangers Review that recruitment staff Dan Purdy and Jim Gillespie are working closely with him as he shapes his squad before the Dundee United opener on 31 July. The comments come with Rangers still pushing to lower Bologna’s £17.2m Lewis Ferguson valuation and continuing talks over Nicolas Raskin and Jens Hjerto-Dahl.
17:45 — State of play: where Rangers’ summer business stands
Derek McInnes has already added five first-team faces this summer — Lawrence Shankland, Ross McCrorie, Ben Godfrey, Ivor Pandur and Dan Neil — with early impact already showing in training ahead of the Scottish Premiership opener at Dundee United on 31 July.
Midfield remains the main focus: Rangers are in the hunt for Tromso’s Jens Hjerto-Dahl after an opening bid was rejected today, while a move for Bologna’s Lewis Ferguson would need to smash the Scottish transfer record, according to the Daily Record. Going the other way, Nicolas Raskin’s valuation keeps climbing amid Hull City, Real Betis, Bologna and Atalanta interest, and Lyon are among the clubs monitoring Youssef Chermiti.
Behind the scenes, the club has also confirmed academy loan moves for Kyle Glasgow and Max Cameron as part of its co-operation deals with Queen’s Park and Alloa Athletic.
16:30 — Bologna want record £17.2m+ for Lewis Ferguson, say Daily Record
The Daily Record report that Rangers have been told a deal for long-term target Lewis Ferguson would require a record Scottish Premiership transfer fee, with Bologna’s asking price put at a minimum of £17.2million plus add-ons.
Ferguson’s contract talks in Italy are said to have stalled since Vincenzo Italiano’s move to Besiktas, and there is also reported interest from Atalanta and Lazio. A swap deal involving Nicolas Raskin has been mooted, though nothing is close, following on from Barry Ferguson’s recent comments on the speculation.
14:10 — Rangers push Raskin asking price up towards £25m as interest grows
Rangers have reportedly increased their valuation of Nicolas Raskin towards the £25million mark as interest in the Belgium midfielder intensifies following his eye-catching World Cup form.
Hull City remain the only club to have tabled a concrete offer so far, understood to be in the £12m-£14m range and rejected as insufficient, while Real Betis, Bologna and Atalanta are also credited with interest in the post-World Cup transfer scramble for the midfielder.
11:40 — Tromso knock back Rangers’ opening £5.3m bid for Hjerto-Dahl
Rangers have seen an opening £5.3million offer for midfielder Jens Hjerto-Dahl turned down by Tromso, according to reports in Norway, with the Eliteserien club holding out for a fee closer to £7.5m-£8.5m.
Tromso’s sporting director is said to have told Rangers they remain some way short of the mark, though the Ibrox club are expected to return with an improved offer, continuing the valuation stand-off with Tromso that has been building for weeks.
09:15 — DONE DEAL: Kyle Glasgow and Max Cameron confirmed out on loan
Rangers have confirmed academy prospects Kyle Glasgow and Max Cameron have joined the club’s loan co-operation partners for the 2026-27 season, with both teenagers set for regular game time at Alloa Athletic after putting pen to paper on their first professional contracts at Ibrox.
The club has also renewed its loan co-operation agreement with Queen’s Park, the arrangement that lets Scottish-eligible prospects aged 16 to 21 move between Ibrox and partner clubs throughout the campaign to maximise first-team exposure.
