Rangers’ reported interest in Tromsø striker Jens Hjerto-Dahl has not distracted the Norwegian from his club duties, as he scored in a 4-1 win over Ham-Kam at the weekend. The 22-year-old, who also faces interest from Cardiff City, told his own fans he’s taking the speculation one step at a time.

What did Hjerto-Dahl say about the transfer talk?

Hjerto-Dahl admitted he has no answers for the ongoing transfer chatter but stressed it isn’t affecting his performances. “I don’t know what to say about the transfers,” he told reporters after Tromsø’s latest win. “The way we work here is that I come to training every day and enjoy it. Then I get good support from my teammates.”

He added: “When the whistle blows, my head can’t be anywhere else. Then that will only lead to poor performances.” Hjerto-Dahl’s Tromsø are second in the Premiership with 69 points from 33 games, just one behind league leaders Heart Of Midlothian.

How did the fans react?

After the match, supporters asked Hjerto-Dahl to stay and even enquired if it was his final game. “I can’t bear to answer that,” he said. “I’m taking it day by day and week by week.” The striker did, however, highlight his recent scoring form, pointing to a curling effort he drills in training. “It was nice to score another goal from a situation I practice often,” he said. “I acted on instinct, which was to curl it.”

Tromsø currently sit second in the Premiership with a goal difference of +35, having scored 66 and conceded 31 this season. Their recent run of three straight wins ended with a loss, but they remain in the title race.

What’s the mood at Tromsø?

Tromsø boss Jorgen Vik praised Hjerto-Dahl for blocking out the noise and staying present. “He is strong,” Vik said. “He is a role model for many of our fans. He lives in the present and is very invested in Tromsø Sports Club.”

Rangers, meanwhile, sit second in the Premiership with 69 points from 33 games and a recent form of WWWLL. Their last result was a 2-1 win over Saint Etienne on 2026-07-22, and they face Heart Of Midlothian away on 2026-10-28.
