Talks over Ryan Naderi have stalled between Rangers and Hansa Rostock, with the German third-tier club unwilling to accept a 2.6m offer for the 22-year-old striker while they do not have a replacement - and believe they can sell him for more in the summer. (Florian Plettenberg on X), external Rangers have the scope to increase their offer for Naderi, who is keen on a move to Ibrox, should Rostock be willing to sell

With Carson Soucy being held out tonight for roster management reasons, the trade has been finalized. The Rangers are trading Soucy to the Islanders for a 3rd round pick in this year's draft. This was the expected return for Soucy given what we know about trade deadline rentals, and at least somewhat recoups the trade acquisition cost from last year's ill-advised trade at the deadline to acquire the defenseman. Carson Soucy was not very good with the Rangers. After the deadline he was a healthy scratch for a few games as he was simply that bad. This year he improved, but it always looked like he was skating in mud.

"I know that Feyenoord tried to sign him in the summer but ended up going for a different left-back. "Feyenoord are historically very good at recruitment. They tend to take a lot of top talents from Belgium and bring them into the Dutch league."

"We defended until the end and we got a clean sheet," Rohl told RangersTV. "This is the basis and if we do this again and again we will be in a fantastic way. Keep on the front foot, stay hungry, stay ambitious, and be humble in the right moments."

Starting with the hosts, while Nuno Espírito Santo might have only arrived at the London Stadium a couple of months ago, the former Nottingham Forest boss already finds his position hanging by a thread. Rightfully coming under a huge amount of scrutiny over the weekend as they were blown away thanks to a 3-0 drumming away at a Wolves squad who sit rock-bottom of the table, the pressure on Santo's shoulders has now reached a boiling point.

"You have two stories today," Rangers boss Danny Rohl told BBC Scotland following the statement win. "One, we can turn things in one half to come back 3-1 and win this game. The second story, we have a centre-forward in Youssef who scores fantastic goals."

"We've been doing some analysis of our own over a much wider period and perhaps want to talk to them again about some of that detail for one reason and one reason only. "We want greater consistency, we want a greater quality and standard of refereeing and we want the focus to be on the football and not on the decisions.
