Report: Gerrard wants 29-yr-old ace, Rangers set to make their move this week
Rangers are looking to bring in a keeper this summer and they have identified Vaclav Hladky as a target. As per the Sunday Post, Ibrox boss Steven Gerrard wants the 29-year-old signed from St Mirren and Rangers will make a move for the player this week. Rangers currently have Allan McGregor as their number one keeper but he is 38 years old. The Rangers no.1 will need replacing soon and Hladky would be ideal. He has done well for St Mirren and he seems ready to join a bigger club. In the short term, he could be the backup for McGregor and push him for a first team place. Eventually, he will take over as the starter if he manages to impress. Rangers must improve their squad depth in order to push Celtic for the title next season and signings like Hladky could prove handy. It will be interest...
Chris Sutton’s four-word reaction as Lennon makes sack claim about his Rangers counterpart
Celtic manager Neil Lennon believes that he would have been sacked had he gone two seasons without a trophy like his Rangers counterpart Steven Gerrard. The Hoops boss led his side to nine-in-a-row last week and is increasingly confident of helping them to 10 consecutive Scottish Premiership titles at the end of next season. Gerrard will look to stop Celtic next term, but has so far failed to prove that he has what it takes to having gone two campaigns without a silverware. Given the pressure and standard set at both Glasgow clubs, only two managers in Old Firm history have escaped getting sacked after going two full seasons without winning nothing. The Rangers boss is set for his third season at Ibrox, and he isn’t at the risk of getting sacked ahead of 2020-21. Lennon reckons that wouldn...
‘Getting a little bit embarrassing’: Celtic legend aims dig at ‘lucky’ Rangers
Glasgow Rangers finished second in the 2019-20 SPFL behind Celtic after the season was canceled due to the ongoing global health crisis. The Ibrox club were 13 points behind Celtic at the top when football in Scotland was stopped. Rangers felt aggrieved as Celtic were decided champions despite so many games left to be played. However, according to former Celtic striker and club legend Chris Sutton, the Light Blues could’ve been more than 20 points behind if all 38 games were played. As a result, Celtic have now won the Scottish Premiership nine times in a row. Sutton feels that it was getting embarrassing for the Gers as the gap between the clubs could’ve grown. “The best team won, winning 26 out of 30 games is absolutely phenomenal. The gap was so big,” said Sutton. “When you look at...
‘The deal is complete’: Agent claims 21-year-old forward ‘has just signed’ for Rangers
Glasgow Rangers have signed Ianis Hagi on a permanent deal. The Ibrox club have secured his signature by paying £4m.

Becali has hailed Rangers as an ‘extraordinary’ club, adding they are the ‘Juventus of Scotland’. He has confirmed that Hagi has already signed for Rangers, although there has not been any official confirmation made by the Glasgow club. Last month reports emerged that Prem...
Sky Sports pundit suggests Rangers should move for PL midfielder who is in ‘peak of his career’
Former Ibrox hero Kris Boyd has suggested that Glasgow Rangers should move for Norwich City midfielder Kenny McLean in the summer transfer window. The Gers finished second in the 2019-20 season after the league was called off due to the global health crisis. Celtic became the SPFL champions for the ninth time in a row. The popular Sky Sports pundit feels that Rangers need to add extra bit of quality to prevent Celtic from winning ten league titles in a row. Boyd believes that Steven Gerrard’s side should make an attempt to persuade Norwich to part with McLean in the summer transfer window. Norwich are in real danger of getting relegated from the Premier League this season, and the Canaries are expected to lose some of their key players. Boyd wrote in The Scottish Sun: “Maybe ther...

Report: Gerrard hopes to beat Hammers to striker’s signature a yr after Liverpool links
According to The Scottish Sun, Rangers are hoping to beat several English Premier League sides to the signature of West Bromwich Albion striker Rayhaan Tulloch this summer as manager Steven Gerrard looks to stop Celtic’s 10-in-a-row bid. West Ham United and Brighton are very much keen on the 19-year-old after he forced his way into manager Slaven Bilic’s plans this term, and the Baggies are looking to convince him to sign a deal as he is out of contract next month. Liverpool were one of the clubs linked with an interest in Tulloch last summer, but the speedy striker could be lining up for their former skipper at Ibrox if Rangers play their cards well. West Ham know the teenager well having watched him first hand during their FA Cup clash against Bilic’s side in January, and it appears he d...
Report: Celtic and Rangers keen to snap up 24-yr-old long-term target on a massive bargain
Celtic and Rangers have been linked with a move for the Feyenoord midfielder Renato Tapia. The midfielder will be a free agent in June and the Scottish giants are looking to snap him up on a bargain as per reports (via Sportwitness). The 24-year-old defensive midfielder can play as a centre back as well and he could prove to be a decent addition to Rangers or Celtic. Both clubs could use some depth in their midfield and Tapia would make sense as a signing, especially on a free. It will be interesting to see if the Scottish giants manage to convince the player to join either of them this summer. A move to Scotland would be an interesting challenge for the midfielder. He has done well for the Dutch side so far and he will fancy his chances of shining in Scotland as well. Celtic and Rangers a...

The 21-year-old has had an impressive loan spell at Rangers so far and it is no surprise that they want to keep him at the club for the long term. Despite making just 12 appearances so far, Hagi has shown that he can be a match-winner for Steven Gerrard’s side. He has proven himself in the European games as well. In order to challenge Celtic for the title next season, Gerrard must keep players like Hagi at the club. The Romanian will add creativity and goals to the side. He has already adapted to Scottish football and Hagi can have a c...
‘Go and join them’ – Noel Whelan urges playmaker to join Rangers this summer
Noel Whelan has urged the Liverpool midfielder Pedro Chirivella to join Rangers this summer. The Spaniard has been a part of the club’s youth team for a while now and he has been given some first team chances this season. Chirivella has managed to impress in the cup games and he has been linked with a move away from Anfield this summer. The midfielder is out of contract in June and it will be interesting to see if he signs an extension with Liverpool. Whelan said to Football Insider: “You could be in a worse position. He could try and kick start his career at Rangers and if he does well he can come back to the Premier League as a ready-made player in a few years’ time. It is tough because it is difficult to turn down a five-year deal at a club like Liverpool but I am not sure if he is goin...
