Rangers have confirmed they are keen to bring back Mikey Moore this summer, but German giants Borussia Dortmund have entered the race, turning the young winger’s future into a heated transfer saga.

Why is Moore a hot commodity?

Moore arrived on loan from Tottenham last season, scoring seven goals and adding three assists in the Premiership. His pace and eye‑for‑goal helped Rangers climb to second place, now 69 points from 33 games with a record of 19‑12‑2 and a recent form of WLLLL. The club’s ambition to close the one‑point gap to leaders Heart of Midlothian hinges on retaining such firepower.

What does Dortmund bring to the table?

According to The Athletic, Borussia Dortmund are prepared to take Moore on loan for the 2026‑27 campaign. The Champions League regulars have a reputation for polishing young talent – think Jadon Sancho, Jude Bellingham and Carney Chukwuemeka – and can offer Moore regular top‑flight football in the Bundesliga. Tottenham, his parent club, are not looking to sell, but a loan to Dortmund could evolve into a permanent move if the player impresses.

How would a return affect Rangers?

Former manager Danny Rohl hinted at a warm welcome for Moore, noting his development and bond with the fans. "He showed his quality, he's still a young player, and he gained a lot of good experience this year," Rohl said last summer. Re‑signing him would add depth to a squad that already boasts Lawrence Shankland, Ivor Pandur, Dan Neil, Ross McRorie and Ben Godfrey. Yet, missing out could force the club to look elsewhere while they chase the title, now just one point behind Hearts.

What’s the next step?

Rangers’ hierarchy, led by manager Derek McInnes, will weigh the player’s wishes, the fans’ sentiment and the financial package on offer. With the club’s recent 5‑5 win over Falkirk on 16 May 2026, they are on a two‑game winning run, but the next few weeks will decide whether Moore stays in Glasgow or heads to Germany. The outcome will likely influence the club’s ability to keep pace in the title race and maintain their goal difference of +35 (66 scored, 31 conceded).

Where does this leave the title chase?

If Rangers secure Moore, they add a proven scorer to a side already sitting second with 69 points. The extra firepower could be the edge needed to overtake Hearts, who sit just one point ahead. Conversely, losing him to Dortmund would leave a gap that may force the Gers to dip deeper into the transfer market, potentially stretching their summer budget.

The coming days will reveal whether Rangers can out‑maneuver Dortmund and keep the young winger in the Scottish Premiership, a decision that could shape the club’s fortunes for the rest of the season.
