Rangers Set for a SHOCKING MOVE for Celtic Player who Gers Once Hated for His Deadly Display in Glasgow Derbies

Rangers Eye Shock Kyogo Reunion as Rennes Exit Looms

Rangers could be about to pull off one of the most audacious transfer moves of the summer as they join the race to bring Kyogo Furuhashi back to Glasgow, just six months after his big-money switch to Stade Rennes.

The Japanese forward, who made his name as a clinical finisher during a hugely successful spell with Celtic, has endured a tough time in France since his £10 million move in January. According to Foot7, Kyogo is set to be left out of Rennes’ pre-season plans by incoming boss Habib Beye, who is expected to ring the changes after a disappointing Ligue 1 campaign.

Kyogo, now 30, struggled for regular minutes towards the end of last season and failed to find the net during his brief stint in Ligue 1. With the departure of the key figures who brought him to Brittany — then-manager Jorge Sampaoli and sporting director Frederic Massara — his position has become increasingly precarious. Without his original backers, Kyogo is now deemed surplus to requirements at Roazhon Park.

It’s understood Rangers have already made an initial enquiry about the forward’s situation, with reports suggesting a formal offer could follow if terms prove favourable. Crucially, any deal would likely cost less than the £10 million Rennes paid for Kyogo in January, given his unsettled status and the club’s desire to reshape the squad under Beye.

Should the Ibrox side succeed in landing Kyogo, it would be a remarkable coup in Scottish football terms, especially considering the forward’s history with Rangers’ biggest rivals. His return to Glasgow would add plenty of narrative spice to the new Premiership season and, for Rangers fans, there would be real excitement about what he could bring to their attack.

Rangers have yet to properly fill the gap left by last season’s attacking departures, and many supporters believe Kyogo’s proven quality could be exactly what’s needed to hit the ground running. With Champions League qualifiers on the horizon and another fierce title race expected with Celtic, manager Russell Martin knows the importance of adding reliable goals to his squad.

As one insider put it: “Rangers have yet to sign a replacement for their attacking options, and who better to fill that void than Kyogo, arriving with a point to prove.”

There’s little doubt that Kyogo, if fit and firing, remains one of the most talented forwards to have played in Scotland in recent years. During his time at Celtic, he built a reputation for lethal movement, quick feet and an instinctive eye for goal — qualities that could prove decisive as Rangers look to reclaim the Premiership crown.

With the transfer window now in full swing and Rennes eager to trim their squad, Rangers appear to have sensed an opportunity. Whether they can get a deal over the line remains to be seen, but few would deny that a Glasgow return for Kyogo would be one of the most fascinating moves of the summer.
