The player is ‘very open’ to rejoining Rangers and the club is ‘clear’ they will bring him back
Mikey Moore’s loan spell at Rangers started quietly but ended up being one of Scotland’s success stories of the season.
After arriving from Tottenham last summer, the young winger received limited opportunities under Russell Martin as he adapted to the physicality and intensity of Scottish football.
The change comes after Danny Röhl replaced Martin in October.
Under the German coach, Moore’s confidence grew rapidly, and he developed into one of Rangers’ most dangerous attacking players.
By the end of the campaign, Moore had made 47 appearances in all competitions, scoring seven goals and providing four assists.
Among his greatest moments was finding the net in Rangers’ memorable Old Firm win over Celtic, and his performances throughout the season earned him the Rangers Young Player of the Year award and the PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year.
What started as a difficult loan spell turned into the kind of development Tottenham were hoping for, with Moore making himself a real fan favorite at Ibrox.
That’s why the Rangers are so determined to bring Moore back.

Honesty |
TEAMtalk has become a well-known source of exclusive referrals for journalists including Fraser Fletcher. While some reports are still in the testing phase, the outlet has developed strong contacts throughout British football and sometimes breaks stories that are later backed up elsewhere. Its specialty is often considered leads rather than done deals. |

Understanding |
Still only 18 years old, Moore is regarded as one of the brightest students at Tottenham’s academy. The winner became Spurs’ youngest player in the Premier League before a productive loan spell at Rangers, where he won two Young Player of the Year awards. His pace, direct running and confidence make him one of England’s most intriguing strikers. |
|
Impact |
Moore will immediately strengthen the Rangers attack with his pace, intelligence and versatility in the forward line. After adapting to Scottish football, he could hit the ground running from day one. His familiarity with the club and fans will make him one of Rangers’ most influential young players when he returns. |
Borussia Dortmund have entered the race and opened talks over a loan move which could prove to be a major obstacle for the Glasgow club.
The Bundesliga club have built a reputation for developing young talent, particularly British players, and Tottenham are expected to carefully assess which area offers Moore the best place to continue his development.
That said, Dortmund want to include a purchase option in the deal, and Tottenham are not keen on that, which could give Derek McInnes’ side an opening.
The Rangers still have a good chance to re-sign Mikey Moore
Despite Dortmund’s appeal, Rangers still have a few advantages.
Moore already knows the team, understands the demands of playing at Ibrox and has shown he can play under pressure in Scotland.

There will be no time to settle down, and another season of regular football can continue to accelerate his growth.
Tottenham are also well aware of what Rangers can offer.
Moore returned to north London as a full-time player after a campaign that tested him physically and mentally before rewarding him with regular first-team football.
Rangers are always the smartest option for Tottenham, if they want a direct loan.
Dortmund’s reputation is undeniable, but Moore has found a place where he is trusted, respected and improved every week.
Continuity would be as important as fame for a player of his age, and another season at Ibrox would provide a suitable bridge before he challenges for a permanent place in the Tottenham first team.
