There’s a certain kind of Rangers transfer idea that gets laughed out the room, but this one at least has a logic to it. The gist is simple: if the talk online about a £2m bid for Danilo is anywhere near the truth, and it isn’t needed to juggle other business, then use that as part of a bigger move to land Hibs’ striker.
Cash plus bodies: the only way it gets moving
The suggestion is a straight cash offer of around £4m, topped up with a player (Danilo) valued at roughly £2m, plus Miovski at about £1.5m to bring the overall package nearer the kind of number Hibs would actually listen to. It’s basically the “meet them where they are” approach, rather than pretending you can haggle someone down when they’ve no reason to blink.
And that’s the bit Rangers fans sometimes forget in the heat of it: selling clubs do hold the cards, to an extent. Especially if they don’t want to sell, or if they’re trying to make a point to their own support. Everyone can argue about “true value” all day, but a deal only happens when the other side feels they’re getting something that suits them right now.
Why Hibs might even entertain it
From the Hibs angle, the appeal is obvious. Cash gives them breathing space. A forward like Miovski is framed as a proven SPFL goalscorer, and Lyle Cameron on loan is the sort of sweetener that can make a package feel like a proper solution rather than a raid. You’re not just lifting their main man; you’re handing them options to cover the gap, plus a midfielder with a reputation for chipping in.
Whether Cameron fancies it is another matter, but the point stands: loans are often the grease in Scottish deals. They help everyone save face and they fill a squad hole without a long-term commitment.
What Rangers get: shape, options, and less scrambling
From a Rangers perspective, it’s about ending up with two strikers for the run-in who suit Danny Röhl’s style, rather than muddling through with square pegs. If you’ve got two proper options, you’re not constantly forcing wide men inside or asking midfielders to play with their back to goal.
And if injuries do hit at the same time, the idea of using Aasgaard or Moore as a false nine is at least a plan, not a panic. It’s not perfect. It’s just… coherent. In January, that’s sometimes the best you can ask for.
