“Rangers Drop Jaw-Dropping £10M MEGA Bid for Championship Superstar, Leaving 49ers Speechless!”

Glasgow Rangers are reported to have tabled an offer exceeding £1 million as they look to secure another EFL talent for manager Russell Martin.

Rangers’ mixed start under Martin

The early days of Martin’s tenure have been challenging. Following a busy summer of signings and the optimism surrounding a fresh start with new owners and a new coach, many anticipated a noticeable upturn in fortunes. Instead, progress has been inconsistent.

In the Champions League qualifiers, the Gers progressed past Viktoria Plzen earlier this week but only due to their emphatic first-leg victory.

Tuesday’s match ended in defeat, showing they still have work to do if they’re to compete at the highest level.

Domestically, matters have been equally frustrating. For the first time since 1989, Rangers have failed to win either of their opening two league fixtures, drawing with both Motherwell and Dundee. After the opening-day setback, Martin voiced strong criticism of his squad’s mentality.

“I told the players there’s a tendency at this club to revert to type. When things are going well, everyone’s committed, but when they’re not, some switch to self-preservation mode.

You need to be all in, all the time,” Martin said. “Too many today played their own game.

If you’re jogging around, that’s a serious problem. Some players need to drop their egos. I’ll review things tactically and accept my share of responsibility, but today wasn’t about tactics—it was about mentality. We got more than we deserved.”

Whether Martin can address these mindset issues before the transfer window closes remains to be seen.

Rangers target Pierce Charles

According to The Telegraph’s Mike McGrath, Rangers have lodged an initial bid of more than £1 million for Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Pierce Charles. The offer is still unanswered, with the Owls’ owner, Dejphon Chansiri, yet to respond.

Given Sheffield Wednesday’s financial difficulties, a sale could provide much-needed relief, particularly in covering staff wages.

However, the lack of communication has left both Rangers and fellow suitors West Ham United without clarity.

It’s no surprise Charles has caught attention. Just 20 years old, he broke into the Owls’ first team last season and impressed both supporters and coaching staff.

Former manager Danny Rohl praised his development:

“We have two young, talented goalkeepers. James Beadle deserves a lot of credit for his performances after joining last year—he played a big role in helping us secure points during the relegation battle.

On the other side, Pierce, our own goalkeeper, has worked incredibly hard. He’s now the number one for his national team and has improved significantly—he’s earned it.”

Charles’ combination of youth, potential, and international experience makes him an attractive prospect for clubs aiming to strengthen between the sticks.

Whether Sheffield Wednesday choose to cash in or keep hold of their emerging star could be one of the defining storylines of their transfer window.

For Rangers, securing Charles would not only bolster their goalkeeping options but also send a statement of intent as Martin looks to rebuild the squad’s mentality and turn early-season struggles into a launchpad for success.
