Rangers Face Key Decisions in Summer Rebuild Amid Transfer Links and Ownership Talks
Rangers are gearing up for a crucial summer transfer window as they aim to close the growing gap between themselves and Celtic at the top of the Scottish Premiership. The potential takeover of the club by 49ers Enterprises could provide a significant financial lift, but any investment will need to be implemented with long-term sustainability in mind.
Years of off-field mismanagement have left Rangers at a crossroads, requiring a strategic overhaul to ensure future success and financial stability.
Nectar Triantis Among Transfer Targets
As the season nears its conclusion, uncertainty surrounds who will be in charge at Ibrox moving forward. While club legend Barry Ferguson is being mentioned as a possible candidate, reports suggest the incoming ownership group may look to appoint a fresh face to lead the club into a new era.
Despite the managerial ambiguity, the appointment of Kevin Thelwell as Director of Football indicates Rangers are already focused on the summer window and are preparing to act decisively.
One player reportedly on their radar is Sunderland’s Nectar Triantis. The 20-year-old Australian has impressed while on loan at Hibernian, featuring regularly and making notable contributions from a deep midfield position. Sunderland are believed to be considering another loan spell for Triantis next season—possibly at a higher level—and Rangers could provide that platform.
Nico Raskin Exit Could Help Fund Moves
With financial restructuring a priority, Rangers may need to cash in on valuable assets to balance the books. Midfielder Nico Raskin, one of the team’s standout performers this season, has attracted attention from clubs outside Scotland due to his improved form and consistency.
Although not an ideal departure from a fan perspective, Raskin’s sale could provide Rangers with the funds needed to reshape the squad and support incoming deals like a potential move for Triantis. If the Black Cats are to allow the Aussie talent out on another loan, they would expect assurances over playing time—something that could become more viable if Rangers part ways with Raskin.
While losing Raskin wouldn’t be the first choice for many supporters, the club may have little alternative if they are to create a more financially secure and competitive squad.
With major changes expected on and off the pitch, this summer could mark a turning point for Rangers as they aim to restore their place at the top of Scottish football.
