Rangers close to signing Badredine Bouanani on deadline day as Raskin's future in doubt
Glasgow Rangers are closing in on a deal for winger Badredine Bouanani, who is undergoing a medical on transfer deadline day, while midfielder Nicolas Raskin's future at the club is uncertain amid rising foreign interest.
Bouanani undergoes medical
On 3 September 2026, the final day of the summer transfer window, Glasgow's Rangers are closing in on a new addition, winger Badredine Bouanani. According to Yahoo Sports (citing the Herald Scotland), the player is currently undergoing a medical, and the deal is set to become the club's 14th signing of the summer window. One related headline referred to Bouanani as the "next Eden Hazard", though the source does not elaborate on this comparison. No details on the transfer fee or contract terms were given in the sources.
Raskin's future uncertain
Meanwhile, the BBC reports that Rangers are preparing for a possible exit of midfielder Nicolas Raskin, 25. The Belgium international did not travel with the squad to Jablonec for the second leg of a UEFA Conference League play-off, in which Rangers led 1-0 from the first leg. Manager Derek McInnes said Raskin's absence had nothing to do with injury and was instead linked to a possible transfer, adding that interest in the player had "stepped up" over the past couple of days, including reported interest from Turkish club Fenerbahce. McInnes said it would be "great" if Raskin stayed beyond the deadline, but that the club would wish him well if he leaves.
Other deals
The BBC also notes that winger Kim could become the club's 12th summer signing. Separately, among related links in the Yahoo Sports report, it is mentioned that Rangers have completed the signing of forward Kevin Kelsy, though there had reportedly been some uncertainty over the financial details of that deal. McInnes confirmed the club is still working on "one or two other things" and hopes to complete them as soon as possible ahead of the new season.
