RANGERS LAUNCH LATE RAID FOR CAMERON ARCHER AS TITLE DREAM SLIPS AWAY
Rangers have fired off a last-gasp transfer bid for Southampton striker Cameron Archer in a desperate race against time — just hours before the transfer window crashes shut.
The dramatic move comes straight after Rangers’ damaging draw with Hibernian, a result that has blown the title race wide open and sent alarm bells ringing at Ibrox. With precious points dropped yet again, the pressure is on — and Rangers have responded by going all-in.
Sources close to the deal say things are moving fast, with Rangers scrambling to land Archer before the deadline as Philippe Clement looks for a spark to reignite fading championship hopes. The 24-year-old forward has been identified as the man to inject pace, goals, and urgency into an attack that has misfired at key moments this season.
The Hibs draw proved the tipping point. Rangers dominated spells but lacked a cutting edge — a familiar story that has haunted them throughout the campaign. Now, recruitment chiefs are working frantically behind the scenes, with talks accelerating late into deadline day.
While the exact structure of the bid remains under wraps, Rangers are believed to be pushing for a late loan or cut-price deal, knowing Southampton’s valuation but banking on deadline-day pressure to force a breakthrough.
Fans are restless. The title gap is growing. Time is running out.
Failure to act could see Rangers’ season drift away — and the club knows it. Landing Archer would be a major statement, a sign that Rangers are not ready to surrender the fight just yet.
The clock is ticking. Phones are ringing. And at Ibrox, it’s now all or nothing.
