“SHOCKING Rangers Raid: Sunderland’s ‘BEASTLY’ Star Set for SENSATIONAL Transfer Amid Stadium of Light CHAOS!”

Rangers trail bitter rivals Celtic by 17 points, with Brendan Rodgers’ side already having secured the Scottish Premiership title.

The anticipated takeover by the enterprise branch of the San Francisco 49ers NFL franchise has brought excitement to Ibrox, but the new leadership will be met with major decisions as soon as the deal is finalized.

Among their first challenges will be determining the future of interim manager Barry Ferguson.

Equally pressing is the need for a significant rebuild of the playing squad during the upcoming transfer window.

With Paraag Marathe and Andrew Cavenagh expected to lead the new regime, making an immediate impact will be a top priority.

However, Financial Fair Play limitations could restrict their spending power, forcing them to be strategic and potentially focus on value signings rather than marquee deals.

One such potential signing is Sunderland’s Nectar Triantis, currently on loan at Hibernian.

According to Daily Record journalist Scott McDermott, Rangers should consider targeting the young Australian, who has impressed during his time in the Scottish Premiership.

McDermott noted: “He’s 6ft 3ins, quick, and physically strong — qualities that make him effective in both penalty areas.

With Sunderland set to recall him this summer, his future remains unclear.”

Should the Black Cats secure promotion to the Premier League via the playoffs, another loan spell could be on the cards.

Hibernian will no doubt push to bring him back, but McDermott suggests that a loan move to Rangers would represent a more significant step up — one that Sunderland may prefer for his development.

A move to Ibrox for Triantis makes sense for all involved. Sunderland fans hold the 21-year-old in high regard, and a spell at Rangers could further his progress.

Having already proven himself in Scotland’s top flight, he could slot in smoothly at Auchenhowie.

Though primarily a centre-back, Triantis has adapted well to a holding midfield role at Easter Road — a position that could soon become a key area of need for Rangers.

With midfielders like Nicolas Raskin and Mohamed Diomande expected to draw summer interest, there’s a real chance that the squad could be thinned in that area.

If either player departs, securing Triantis on loan would be a smart move.

He has already demonstrated his ability to handle the physical and tactical demands of Scottish football and could add valuable strength and versatility to the Rangers midfield.
