Rangers eye Penrice after Cerny bid rebuffed
Rangers will face Johor Darul Ta’zim on 16 July in Spain. Pre-season so far: 5-1 Raith, 3-1 Dunfermline, 1-1 Kaizer Chiefs. JDT scored 117 league goals in 2025-26.
Rangers target AEK left-back James Penrice, who is being pushed out after limited minutes. AEK seek slightly over £2m. McInnes needs depth at left-back and multiple centre-backs amid John Souttar exit talk.
Youssef Chermiti says he is "very happy" at Rangers amid Lyon interest. Talks stalled around a £20m valuation. The 22-year-old targets Portugal senior caps after a 15-goal contribution last season.
Rangers target Jens Hjerto-Dahl favours an Ibrox move. Tromso rejected Cardiff’s £5.5m bid and want close to £7m. Rangers have signed Dan Neil already but remain keen to add the 20-year-old midfielder.
Rangers’ £5.1m bid for Vaclav Cerny was rejected by Besiktas. The winger retired from international duty to "fully focus on Besiktas", casting doubt on a return. McInnes wants a new winger, with Mikey Moore mooted.
