Rangers exploded onto the Scottish Cup stage with a 5‑0 demolition, secured promising Belgian left‑back Tuur Rommens, and ignited a wave of transfer speculation. Under Danny Röhl’s fresh leadership, the club blends attacking flair and defensive reinforcement, aiming to dominate the Premiership and make a deep run in the Europa League this season.
Five‑Star Cup Performance
Miovski’s Hat‑Trick Drives 5‑0 Rout
Serbian striker Bojan Miovski opened his account with a sensational hat‑trick, leading Rangers to a flawless 5‑0 victory over Annan Athletic. Goals from Ryan Dowell and emerging midfielder Alistair Aasgaard completed the on‑field showcase, confirming Röhl’s high‑pressing, quick‑transition philosophy is already taking shape.
New Defensive Pillar: Tuur Rommens
Rangers announced the acquisition of 22‑year‑old Belgian left‑back Tuur Rommens on a three‑and‑a‑half‑year deal valued at around £3 million. Known for his pace, crossing ability, and tactical awareness, Rommens competes for a starting spot and adds depth and youthful energy to the back four, strengthening the side for upcoming Europa League fixtures.
Transfer Rumour Landscape
Speculation continues to swirl around potential signings, with talk of a high‑profile striker to partner Miovski and a possible loan recall of a young full‑back from the Scottish Championship. While no deals are confirmed, the buzz reflects growing global interest in Rangers and the club’s ambition to reinforce the squad for a demanding calendar.
European Aspirations
Rangers have already shown resilience in the Europa League, securing a respectable draw against Panathinaikos in Athens. Combined with their domestic momentum—topping the Premiership table and adding a decisive cup win—the team is positioned as a serious contender to advance to the knockout stages and challenge Europe’s elite clubs.
Season Outlook
Röhl’s early successes suggest a trophy‑laden campaign is within reach. Miovski’s attacking surge, Rommens’ defensive upgrade, and strategic transfer targets could narrow the gap with domestic rivals and elevate Rangers’ European profile. The short‑term focus remains on extending the cup run, preserving the league lead, and converting the Greek draw into a victory, while long‑term goals target Champions League qualification.
