Rangers continue to monitor Silas Andersen, race heats up for £5.9m transfer
Rangers and Celtic are interested in BK Hacken midfielder Silas Andersen ahead of the upcoming transfer window.
According to Record on 20 May, the Old Firm rivals are monitoring the Denmark Under-21 international closely.
The news outlet reports that Sporting CP have already made contact regarding the 21-year-old, who the Swedish club are looking to sell for £5.9million plus bonuses.
Andersen was linked with a move to Ibrox in the winter transfer window and it looks like the Glaswegian outfit continue to have him on their radar for a possible deal in the summer.
Danny Rohl may need a replacement for Nicolas Raskin ahead of the 2026-27 campaign and it isn’t surprising to see the Govan side keeping an eye on midfield targets.
🚨 RANGERS TRANSFER UPDATE 🚨
The latest breaking news on signings, departures, and Danny Röhl’s primary targets.
Rangers must move quick for Silas Andersen transfer
Apart from the two Old Firm outfits and Sporting CP, Hamburg and FC Koln are also in the race for Andersen’s signature.
The young defensive midfielder’s future is one to keep an eye on after an impressive spell in Sweden.
| Statistics | Silas Andersen |
| Appearances | 7 |
| Goals | 1 |
| Accurate passes per game | 43.0 (83%) |
| Tackles per game | 2 |
| Balls recovered per game | 5.6 |
| Total Duels won per game | 8.0 (55%) |
| Successful dribbles per game | 2.1 (54%) |
Considering the Danish national’s versatility to play in multiple midfield positions and at centre-back, the Ibrox hierarchy will surely be attracted by the prospect of getting a deal over the line sooner rather than later.
The 2026 World Cup isn’t going to make recruitment any easier in the summer and the Govan side should prioritise getting signings in early to give Rohl the best chance of preparing for the new season.
Danny Rohl must address clear issue at Ibrox
Rangers fans were left frustrated with the lack of physicality and desire in the engine room in the final games of the season.
The Gers’ defence was left exposed on multiple occasions against Motherwell, Hearts and Celtic post-split, with Rohl’s midfield unable to cope.
If Raskin has an eye-catching World Cup, it wouldn’t be surprising to see top teams around Europe vying for his services in the coming months.
Andersen’s physicality and ability on the ball make him a unique talent for the Govan side to pursue, but only time will tell whether he will come through the doors at Ibrox.
