summary
Russell Martin replaced Philippe Clement as manager of the Permanent Rangers.
The new owner 49ers company appears to be boosting Martin in the transfer market as the Rangers aim to abdicate the Celt at the top of the Scottish premiership.
Martin may be reunited with the addition of former player Joe Aribo and offensive targets.
The Ranger finally has a new owner, with the 49ers company completing the acquisition, and a search for a new Ibrox manager was also finalized, with Russell Martin earning a permanent job.
Attention is now being drawn to the transfer window as the 49ers and Martin are looking to strengthen their team ahead of the 2025/26 Scottish Premiership campaign.
GERS has raised the league title only once in 12 years. It’s something Martin is aiming to change and may need to be active in the window to do so.
A deal to sign Dundee’s Lyall Cameron was agreed earlier this year, but who else can join the Glasgow midfielder?

AI predicts four players that Rangers will sign this summer
1
Alma Meetsure
Free Agent
Starting with a cut price transfer for the versatile defender, the Rangers have linked with a move to sign Alma Meetouren when they left FC Kaiser Slaughter this summer.
Toure, a predominantly centre-back Mari International, could replace Leon Balogun, who will leave Ibrox when his deal goes away, and it was thought that his move last month would move forward.
Toule, who faced the Rangers at Aintrak Frankfurt in the 2022 Europa League final, could also provide coverage at the right back, and Groke says his experience in the European leagues is consistent with the Rangers’ need for reliable depth.

Jamie Birdie
Free Agent
Another free transfer ranger is supported to be created by Grok. This is Jamie Vardy. The experienced forward announced he will leave Leicester City towards the end of the Premier League season, with the Scottish giants tied with the move.
Jamie Birdie | The goal scored |
---|---|
Leicester City | 200 |
Fleetwood Town | 34 |
Halifax town | 3 |
England | 7 |
The British striker has won a whopping £140,000 a week at King Power Stadium, but the Rangers are offering to the 38-year-old. However, Grok also adds that his “age and wage demands can be a hurdle.”

Airb
Southampton
A player familiar to both Rangers fans and Martin is Joe Aribo, and Groke feels that the new Guards boss might try to reunite with the former Ibrox player.
Grok, who sold to the saint for the first £6 million, says Aribo “can come back on a second stint and bring versatility and friendliness.”
Since moving to the South Coast in 2022, Nigeria International has played for Southampton more than 100 times, but is expected to be out of contract in 2026. And if the saint is demoted, travel to the ranger may appeal to the multipurpose central midfielder.

Yusuf Splain
FC Augsburg
Finally, the rangers are expected to sign in 2024, the player they were participating in, Yusuf Kabadayi. He claimed that GERS was in Paul’s position to sign the 21-year-old forward 12 months ago, but he moved to FC Augsburg instead.
Kabadayi only made five appearances of Bundesliga 24/7 due to knee injuries. With the contract being signed until 2028, I feel that there is no chance of any movement.
However, Grok says Kabadayi’s “young people and potential Martin suit the dynamic and developing players,” but he can put together 2 and 2 from last year’s transfer rumor mill.
