Rangers’ newest signing Tuur Rommens has opened up on the inside story behind his move to Ibrox – and it’s clear this transfer was about far more than just football.
The Belgian defender has revealed that detailed conversations with manager Danny Röhl convinced him Rangers is the perfect place to take his career to the next level. According to Rommens, Röhl laid out a bold, forward-thinking plan that left him in no doubt he was joining a club on the rise.
Speaking after completing his move from Westerlo, the 22-year-old admitted he had gathered “inside intel” on Rangers before signing – and everything he heard only strengthened his desire to make the switch.
“I knew Rangers was a massive club,” Rommens said. “But when I spoke to the manager and heard his vision, I realized this was something special. The plan is very ambitious, and I want to be part of it.”
That ambition is exactly what Danny Röhl has been preaching since taking charge. The Rangers boss is determined to rebuild the squad with young, hungry talent capable of competing domestically and in Europe. Rommens fits that profile perfectly – and Röhl made sure the defender understood just how important he could be to the project.
Insiders say the German coach personally outlined how Rommens would fit into Rangers’ system, the club’s long-term goals, and the culture he is trying to create at Ibrox. Those conversations reportedly played a huge role in convincing the Belgian star to choose Glasgow over other interested clubs.
For Rangers fans, Rommens’ comments are exactly what they want to hear. After a frustrating period of inconsistency, the club finally looks to be moving with a clear identity and direction under Röhl.
“This isn’t just another transfer,” one supporter wrote online. “This feels like the start of something big.
