Rangers Launch Shock Move for Wonderkid Wanted by Europe’s Elite – Star Can Dominate Every Attacking Role!
Rangers Move for In-Demand Versatile Forward Amidst Major Off-Field Developments
Rangers have entered the race to sign a highly sought-after attacking prospect, who is currently on the radar of some of Europe’s elite clubs including Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Paris Saint-Germain.
Europa League Journey Ends in Bilbao
The Gers’ European campaign came to an end on Thursday night following a 2-0 loss to Athletic Club in Bilbao, knocking them out of the Europa League.
After a goalless draw in the first leg, Rangers were second best in Spain and missed a potential penalty shout when Cyriel Dessers appeared to be pulled in the box during the first half.
Athletic were awarded their second penalty of the tie shortly before the break, which Oihan Sancet converted.
Later in the match, Nico Williams sealed the win with a second goal, putting the tie beyond Rangers.
Speaking after the game, manager Barry Ferguson addressed speculation about his future:
“Where this leaves me now is I’m going to finish the season as strongly as possible.
I’ve not sat down and talked about it – but it needs to get sorted soon because as a club we need to do a lot of work.
The club needs to get back challenging. I just want my club to get back to where it should be, whether it’s me or someone else.”
Focus Shifts to Takeover, Managerial Future and Transfers
With European ambitions halted, attention now turns to events off the pitch.
The potential takeover by 49ers Enterprises, the appointment of a permanent manager, and significant squad restructuring ahead of the 2025/26 season are expected to dominate the coming weeks.
Rangers Join Race for Jesse Derry
In transfer news, Rangers have reportedly taken the first step in trying to sign Crystal Palace starlet Jesse Derry.
According to TBR Football, the 17-year-old has rejected a professional contract offer at Selhurst Park and is attracting widespread interest.
The report states that Rangers have made contact regarding Derry, joining a host of major clubs chasing his signature.
Premier League sides Aston Villa and Manchester City are also in the frame, while top European clubs including Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich, PSG, Juventus, FC Porto, Monaco, Eintracht Frankfurt, and RB Leipzig have shown interest.
Celtic have also made an approach, with Rangers now seen as serious contenders.
Derry, likened in style to Jack Grealish due to his trademark appearance and dribbling flair, is capable of operating on both wings, in attacking midfield, or as a forward, offering versatility that could be valuable in Glasgow.
Given the growing interest, a move away from Crystal Palace looks increasingly likely. Rangers may stand a chance if they can promise a clearer route into senior football compared to the other giants pursuing him.
