Nice, clear list to work from. This thread gives a straightforward run-through of who’s on the books right now and where the likely competition lies. There’s a decent spread of names from the academy, established pros and fresh arrivals — so let’s pick through it and flag a few obvious points without over-egging anything.
Goalkeepers
Three keepers are listed with Pandur, Liam Kelly and Kieran Wright providing the core, and Jack Butland mentioned as a possibility (Hull?). You can see why the club would want options here — experience matters between the sticks and having a mixture of youth and proven heads is sensible. It’s a small area of the squad but one where trust and consistency are crucial.
Defence and midfield
The backline looks mixed with younger options like Tuur Rommens and Leon King alongside more established figures such as John Souttar and Ross McCrorie. Ben Godfrey is noted as a loan with an option — an obvious attempt to bolt in Premier League experience, if that holds. The midfield roster gives real variety: Tochi, Raskin, Diomandé, Dan Neil and Thelo Aasgaard all bring different profiles. There’s a balance of ball progression, engine players and creative types. Depth appears reasonable, though selection choices will shape how the manager wants to press, control tempo or sit and counter.
Forwards and the bigger questions
Up front there’s competition from experienced finishers to younger wide options — Shankland, Chermiti, Miovski and Danilo among them, with Curtis, Gassama and Antman offering pace and variety. Plenty of permutations for the attack, which is healthy, but you have to ask about how often certain players will start and where rotation makes sense. Will the manager favour a target man, a fast front three, or a more fluid shape? Those tactical choices will determine who really matters.
All in all this is a useful snapshot. Good depth in most areas, some clear competition and a few small questions about experience distribution and the final pecking order. Keep the list coming and update as deals land — it’s exactly the sort of thread Rangers fans need to track the window properly.
