“Aggressive” Star Undergoes Medical Ahead of Ibrox Switch”

Martin’s Rangers Revolution Begins: “Aggressive” Rising Star Set for Ibrox in Landmark First Signing

A new era is officially underway at Ibrox as Rangers close in on their first signing under freshly appointed manager Russell Martin. With one of Scotland’s most promising young talents undergoing a medical, the club looks set to begin its summer rebuild with a significant statement.

Rangers Usher in New Era On and Off the Pitch
The changes at Rangers this summer go far beyond the dugout. The club is entering a transformative phase following the official completion of the 49ers’ long-awaited takeover. Now in control, the American ownership group has emphasized its mission: return Rangers to domestic dominance and European relevance. Speaking on behalf of the group, Andrew Cavenagh stressed the importance of performance and results, stating that honoring the club’s proud history demands a renewed commitment to excellence.

To that end, the 49ers wasted no time in appointing Russell Martin as manager, handing the reins to the former Southampton boss. Martin, under considerable scrutiny, will be eager to prove his doubters wrong—and early signs suggest he’ll be backed in the transfer market to reshape the squad in his vision.

First Signing on the Horizon: Josh Mulligan to Join Rangers
According to Ibrox Noise, Dundee’s Josh Mulligan is on the verge of becoming Martin’s first signing. The 22-year-old midfielder has reportedly completed a medical and is poised to put pen to paper on a move to Rangers. His arrival would mark both Martin’s and the 49ers’ first piece of business in a crucial summer transfer window.

Mulligan, widely regarded as one of the brightest young players in Scotland, has attracted attention for his versatility and tenacity. Football analyst Kai Watson describes him as an “aggressive” presence, capable of operating both as a wing-back and in central midfield. He made 24 starts for Dundee in the top flight last season and is considered ready for the leap to a club of Rangers’ stature.

His signing reflects the new ownership’s approach—prioritizing youth, energy, and homegrown potential as the foundation for rebuilding a squad capable of dethroning Celtic. As Martin and the 49ers make their mark, Mulligan’s arrival could be the first of many in what’s shaping up to be a busy transfer window at Ibrox.
