Rangers have signed winger Djeidi Gassama from Sheffield Wednesday in a deal worth around £2.2m.
The 21-year-old has signed a four-year deal at Ibrox, with a club-held option to extend that by a further 12 months.
He is Rangers’ seventh summer signing as head coach Russell Martin looks to strengthen his attacking options ahead of their Champions League qualifier against Panathinaikos.
A look back at this long-range goal from Djeidi Gassama against Brentford last season
Gassama – a France U20 international – scored eight goals in 47 appearances last season as the Owls finished 12th in the EFL Championship.
Nasser Djiga and Max Aarons have joined the club on loan from Wolves and Bournemouth, respectively, with Emmanuel Fernandes, Joe Rothwell, Thelo Aasgaard and Lyall Cameron agreeing permanent deals.
Gassama – Rangers can take me to ‘next level’
Djeidi Gassama made 47 appearances for Sheffield Wednesday
Speaking after joining the club, Gassama commented: “I am very happy to be here and to join the club. I am very excited to start with my new club, it is a club with a lot of history, and I am very happy.
“This is a big club, and I need that for my next level and I think it can help me progress.”
‘A player hungry to improve’ – Martin
Head coach Russell Martin added: “We are very excited to bring Djeidi to the club. He is certainly an exciting player who will get supporters on the edge of their seats, and I believe he will add an extra dimension to our attack with his qualities.
“He is hungry to improve as a player and, most importantly, is desperate to pull on the Rangers jersey and help deliver success to the club.”
Sporting director Kevin Thelwell continued: “We are delighted to secure Djeidi’s signature. His attributes are well-suited to the challenges that we’ll face both domestically and on the European stage, and he arrives with considerable experience under his belt at only 21.
“He is on an upward trajectory in his young career, and we look forward to seeing him in action.”
Rangers fixtures: Motherwell opener live on Sky Sports
Kris Boyd and Chris Sutton make their predictions for the 2025/26 Scottish Premiership title
Rangers will kick off their 2025/26 Scottish Premiership season at Motherwell on Saturday August 2, live on Sky Sports.
It will be new head coach Martin’s first league game in charge since being appointed in the summer, and will come just days after their Champions League second-qualifying-round clash against Panathinaikos.
His first Scottish Premiership game at Ibrox will take place on Saturday August 9 against Steven Pressley’s Dundee.
The first Old Firm clash of the season takes place on Sunday August 31 live on Sky Sports as Celtic travel to Ibrox, a fixture that could be key as Martin’s side look to close the gap on their city rivals this season.
The sides will meet again at Celtic Park on Wednesday January 3 – live on Sky Sports – with their final pre-split meeting at Ibrox on February 28.
Rangers head coach Russell Martin is challenging captain James Tavernier to fight for his place, insisting there is space for both him and loan signing Max Aarons in his new-look side
Elsewhere, their first match against Derek McInnes’ Hearts comes on Saturday September 13 at Ibrox, while Rangers face the two newly-promoted clubs on consecutive weeks with a trip to Livingston on Saturday September 27, before travelling to Falkirk on October 4.
Rangers head to Easter Road – where they ended the last campaign – to face Hibernian on Wednesday October 29, while the first clash against Aberdeen follows that on November 1 at Ibrox.
With no winter break this season, Rangers face six games in December – however, there are no games on Boxing Day. Instead, Martin’s side head to Hearts on Saturday December 20 and then host Motherwell on Saturday December 27 at Ibrox.
Rangers’ final pre-split fixture takes place on April 11 at Falkirk, with the league campaign concluding on the weekend of May 16/17 and the play-off final bringing a curtain down on proceedings on May 21 and 24.

College basketball recruiting: Coaches weigh in on NCAA Tournament size, intel on top prospects and more
ROCK HILL and NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. — Sneakers squeaking, kids hooping, parents hollering and the game's most famous faces fraternizing on the sidelines. It's the time of year when coaches burn the candle at both ends: 8 a.m. games and 10 p.m. dinners. The midsummer recruiting trail is most interesting window on the hoops calendar that most fans don't get to see or really experience. The biggest names in college basketball rub shoulders, literally, sitting next to each other while watching the college stars of tomorrow.

MLB using robo umps in 2025 All-Star Game: How ABS system works and when it could come to regular-season games
Tuesday night's Major League Baseball All-Star Game at Truist Park in suburban Atlanta will feature the automated ball-strike (ABS) system that could be part of the league on a regular basis as soon as next season. The ABS challenge system, in which catchers or hitters may request video reviews of a limited number of ball or strike calls, will be in place for Tuesday night's game.As CBS Sports detailed back when the system was introduced to the majors during spring training, ABS is based on individualized player heights -- not just a generic strike zone that broadcasts tend to employ. The "challenge" aspect, meanwhile, sees the human umpires retain most of the strike-calling. The hitter or catcher signals a challenge by tapping the top of their helmet, and then replay determines the correct call. Each team will be allowed two challenges; if […]
