Dor Turgeman Signs for Rangers FC as Russell Martin Unveils First Major Signing
Dor Turgeman Joins Rangers FC as Russell Martin’s First Signing: A New Era Begins at Ibrox
Glasgow, June 8, 2025 — Rangers Football Club has officially announced the signing of Israeli forward Dor Turgeman, marking the first major acquisition under the stewardship of new head coach Russell Martin. The highly anticipated unveiling took place today at Ibrox Stadium, where Turgeman posed proudly in the club’s new 2025/26 kit alongside Martin, signaling the dawn of a fresh chapter for the Glasgow giants.
At just 21 years old, Turgeman arrives with a growing reputation as one of the most promising young talents in Israeli football. Having honed his skills at Maccabi Tel Aviv and impressed on the international stage with Israel’s youth teams, his dynamic style and attacking prowess have caught the attention of scouts across Europe. Rangers, known for their strong recruitment strategy and development of young players, acted swiftly to secure his signature.
The deal is seen as a major coup for the club, particularly as it comes during a period of transition. Russell Martin, who was appointed as Rangers manager earlier this summer, made it clear from the outset that youth, pace, and tactical flexibility would be central to his footballing philosophy. In Turgeman, Martin appears to have found a player who embodies all three.
“Dor is a player with tremendous potential and hunger,” said Martin during the press conference. “He has the technical quality, intelligence, and work rate that align perfectly with how we want to play. I’m excited to help him develop and believe he will be an important player for us moving forward.”
Turgeman’s arrival has already generated buzz among the Rangers faithful, many of whom see the move as a sign of the club’s ambitious intent ahead of the new season. With Celtic continuing to set the pace domestically and Rangers eager to reclaim the Scottish Premiership title, reinforcements of Turgeman’s caliber could be crucial to tipping the balance.
The striker is expected to integrate quickly with the squad, participating in the club’s upcoming preseason training camp. He will wear the number 17 shirt and could feature in friendly matches scheduled later this month.
Speaking to RangersTV, Turgeman expressed his excitement about joining the historic club:
“This is a dream come true. To play for a club with the history, fans, and ambition of Rangers is an incredible opportunity. I’m here to work hard, improve, and give everything for this shirt.”
Turgeman’s move to Ibrox also reflects the increasingly global approach taken by the club’s recruitment team, who have been expanding their scouting networks in markets like Israel, Scandinavia, and Eastern Europe.
As the new season approaches, fans will be eager to see how Turgeman adapts to the demands of Scottish football and whether he can become a key figure in Martin’s evolving side. With energy building around the club and new faces arriving, one thing is certain — Rangers are preparing for an exciting future.
