RANGERS TRANSFER NEWS:
49ers Deals In Progress, Ibrox Signings & Exit Updates

Rangers’ recruitment strategy has undergone a radical transformation under the guidance of Danny Rohl and the financial backing of 49ers Enterprises. Following a high-stakes January window that saw the arrival of marquee talents like Andreas Skov Olsen and Ryan Naderi, the focus at Ibrox has shifted toward a sustainable, high-value model. As technical director Dan Purdy oversees a squad overhaul designed to lower the average age while increasing market value, the Gers are now competing for elite European prospects.

Rangers Most Valuable Assets (April 2026)

Player Age Market Value
Mikey Moore (on loan) 18 £13.4m
Nicolas Raskin 25 £10.1m
Andreas Skov Olsen 26 £8.4m
Youssef Chermiti 21 £6.8m

Rangers Transfer Watch: James Tavernier replacement needed

James Tavernier announced on 22 April that he will be leaving Rangers at the end of the 2025-26 campaign.

The long-serving skipper was due to be out of contract at Ibrox in the summer and, having not been offered fresh terms, his imminent exit has now been confirmed.

Tavernier will no doubt be given a brilliant send-off – ideally with another title in his hands – and Rangers will need to find a replacement.

While Dujon Sterling was brought in to do just then, there is no doubt Tavernier will leave a massive void to be filled.

As Michael Stewart said, Rangers now have a big issue in replacing Tavernier before the start of next season.

Rangers Contract Watch

While transfer targets grab the headlines, attention is also turning to players who could leave Ibrox this summer. Youssef Chermiti, Djeidi Gassama and Nico Raskin have all been linked with interest from other clubs in recent windows and could once again be on the radar of teams across Europe. At the same time, several contracts are coming to an end – including the aforementioned Tavernier – and loan spells are set to expire, adding further intrigue to the squad’s summer plans.

Meanwhile, Andreas Skov Olsen’s loan comes with an option to buy, leaving Rangers to decide whether to make the move permanent. Mikey Moore has indicated he would be happy to extend his loan for another season, though a full-time transfer would be the preferred outcome – something that looks challenging to arrange with Tottenham at this stage.
