Rangers To Use 49ers Connection To Sign This 26-Year-Old: Will He Solve Their Problem?
Rangers To Use 49ers Connection To Sign This 26-Year-Old: Will He Solve Their Problem? Rangers’ 2025-26 season has been all about the club finding their feet again. Under Danny Röhl, who stepped in this October after Russell Martin’s early exit, things at Ibrox have calmed down a lot.
They’re currently sitting second in the Scottish Premiership with 69 points from 33 games, and are still chasing Hearts at the top. Moving from eighth place to a title scrap is a massive credit to Röhl’s impact. However, just steadying the ship isn’t enough for a club like Rangers , and as the summer window gets closer, the big question remains: where are the goals going to come from?
Wyness believes the Piroe link is more than idle speculation That question is getting more interesting by the week, especially with a potential direct line opening up between Ibrox and Elland Road. Speaking to Football Insider, Keith Wyness , the former CEO at Aberdeen, Everton, and Aston Villa, suggested there’s a real chance Joel Piroe moves from Leeds United to Rangers this summer. The deal would be made a lot easier by the fact that 49ers Enterprises has a stake in both clubs.
Wyness admitted that nothing is set in stone yet, but he expects things to heat up once the summer window opens. He sees Piroe as a move that works for everyone; if Leeds have too many options in that position and Rangers are short on quality, the deal is straightforward. Looking at the stats, it’s hard to argue.
Piroe hasn’t managed a goal or an assist in the Premier League this year, playing only 217 minutes with a poor 6. 02 FotMob rating. Leeds likely wouldn’t think twice about letting him move on.
