Craig Moore urges Rangers to sign Sunderland midfielder
Craig Moore has urged Rangers to secure the services of five new players in the summer transfer window.
With a new manager and new owners, it’s set to be a busy summer at Ibrox and a potential rebuild of the first-team squad.
Celtic ran away with the league this season and Gers will not want a repeat of that in the 2025/26 campaign.
Nectarios Triantis suggested by Moore as part of Gers summer outlay
Moore is not one to shy away from sharing his opinion on Gers and he’s now named five players he would like the Ibrox outfit to sign.
The Australian wants his former side to bring in Hearts striker Lawrence Shankland – a player they’ve been linked with in the last few transfer windows.
Despite Hibs triggering his contract extension clause, Moore wants Martin Boyle to be signed as well.
Along with that, he wants the Bears to bring in Hearts full-back James Penrice and Motherwell midfielder Lennon Miller.

Sunderland midfielder Nectarios Triantis, who shone on loan this season at Hibs, is another player fancied by the 49-year-old.
Speaking on Go Radio, he said: “Martin Boyle, [Lawrence] Shankland, the boy [Nectarios] Triantias has had a great season at Hibs. [James] Penrice, the left full-back at Hearts.
“For me there is enough players that can go in and Rangers would have a far better squad than they currently have got. Lennon Miller. There is players there.”
Rangers must pursue Triantis’ services
Triantis would be a shrewd signing for Rangers due to his proven versatility and defensive prowess in the Scottish Premiership.
The 22-year-old Australian has excelled as a defensive midfielder, notably contributing to Hibs’ historic 2-0 win over Gers in April, showcasing his ability to dominate midfield battles.
His nine goal contributions in the league for Hibs highlight his offensive upside, while his nomination for the Scottish Football Writers’ Association Player of the Year award underscores his rising stock.
Triantis’ physicality and comfort in possession suit Gers’ high-intensity style.
With his contract at Sunderland until 2027, a move could bolster Rangers’ squad depth, offering a robust, adaptable player capable of thriving in both domestic and European competitions, especially as they aim to reclaim dominance
