Rangers transfer latest as 24/25 nears end | OneFootball

The excitement surrounding Rangers FC’s transfer speculations is palpable, with fans eagerly anticipating the club’s next moves on the player front. Leading the charge is a new figure in the Rangers’ hierarchy, Gretar Steinsson, who has stepped into the role of “head of recruitment.” This is a man with a very different outlook on the job compared to some predecessors. He is the modern equivalent of a number of recruitment figures who have emerged in recent years, such as the trio of Liverpool’s Michael Edwards, Ian Graham, and Dave Fallows; or Spurs’ old technical committee of Franco Baldini, Damien Comolli, and Scott MacLachlan. All these men held positions of influence in their clubs and were known to be “numbers guys.” They were believers in the statistical analysis of the game.

The Rangers’ faithful have made it abundantly clear who they would love to see back in the famous blue shirt: Steven Gerrard. Searches for him have soared past the 48,000 mark (BigFatLinks, 2025), and the link between him and a return to Rangers is not mere speculation. The figures tell us that the supporters are not just yearning for nostalgia but are almost banking on it. If Gerrard were to come back, especially after the way he left, there’s a certain magic to that idea. It’s almost as if the fans believe that, under Stevie G, this squad can reach some of the heights that Rangers hit while he was here. Yes, he’s that much of a loved figure.

We mustn’t overlook other fascinating figures surfacing in this trade tempest! Dele Alli and Cedric Itten are also capturing fans’ imaginations (BigFatLinks, 2025). Could you conceive that Alli might regain his form at Ibrox? His panache could inject a truly dynamic aspect into a squad already brimming with passion. And Itten’s past stint at Ibrox gives him a leg up; the Swiss international is already quite familiar with the setup, which could lead to an even more electrifying connection with the fans and his teammates if a return were to happen. This is what Rangers’ supporters are envisioning as they look toward what promises to be an eventful summer and fall with the transfer window wide open.

With the transfer stories still unfolding and Steinsson’s extensive scouting system in full swing, the anticipation around returning heroes and big-name signings continues to build. This could be a truly remarkable summer for the Gers and their fans. What could be more reassuring than seeing their club with its multifaceted personality and ambition finally making its mark again? And what could be more thrilling than seeing the Gers’ faithful rewarded with a squad full of potential and promise?
