Rangers FC continue to overhaul their squad under new head coach Russell Martin, aiming to challenge Celtic’s recent dominance in the Scottish Premiership. The club has already added seven new faces during the 2025 summer window, including Lyall Cameron, Emmanuel Fernandez, Joe Rothwell, Max Aarons (on loan), Thelo Aasgaard, Nasser Djiga (on loan), and Djeidi Gassama. The total spend so far stands at £5.7 million[2].
Key transfer news includes the imminent signing of Finnish winger Oliver Antman for a fee of around £3–3.5 million, with completion expected in the coming days. This addition follows recent arrivals such as Mikey Moore and Gasama, as Rangers strengthen their wide options. There remains significant speculation about further player departures from the current squad, with names like Nicolas Raskin potentially moving soon as the club continues its reshaping process[1].
Departures already confirmed this summer include Tom Lawrence, Ianis Hagi, Adam Devine, Cole McKinnon, and Leon Balogun—all leaving the club on free transfers[2].
Additionally, Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Rangers are close to finalizing another major transfer deal, which could provide a timely boost ahead of key domestic and European fixtures. However, the club has faced setbacks in their pursuit of other high-profile targets like Jazzeroon Raki, as Crystal Palace are unwilling to release more players without bolstering their own squad[4].
Manager Russell Martin expressed optimism in his latest press conference, highlighting the new energy within the squad and his confidence that further changes will allow Rangers to be highly competitive as the season progresses. He also indicated that while some players may leave to seek more game time, the team’s ownership remains supportive of continued investment in the squad[5].
Rangers are set to open their Scottish Premiership campaign against Motherwell, with new signings like Mikey Moore already joining training and integration activities. Supporters can expect ongoing transfer activity, with further squad adjustments anticipated before the summer window closes[7].
