Rangers are back at it again with Couhaib Driouech. The Scottish club has expressed serious interest in signing the PSV Eindhoven forward, a player they’ve been chasing since the summer of 2024.

The catch this time is competition. Danny Rohl is reportedly in the mix for Driouech’s signature, which means Rangers aren’t the only ones who’ve noticed the 24-year-old Moroccan-Dutch winger’s upside.

A transfer pursuit with a long memory

Rangers first came knocking during the 2024 summer window, when Driouech was wrapping up a productive spell at Excelsior. Over 85 matches with the Dutch club, he bagged 12 goals, enough to attract attention from multiple suitors across Europe.

He chose PSV Eindhoven, signing a five-year contract on July 7, 2024. Driouech himself called the PSV transfer “absolutely beautiful,” which is about as definitive a rejection as you can get without sending a formal letter.

Then February 2025 rolled around, and the rumors started swirling again. Reports surfaced suggesting a potential £3 million loan-to-buy arrangement between Rangers and PSV. Those claims were quickly dismissed by media sources as inactive, meaning no formal negotiations had taken place.

The Rohl connection complicates things

Danny Rohl’s involvement in this story adds an interesting subplot. Rohl managed Rangers from October 20, 2025, to June 17, 2026, compiling a 55% win rate across 40 matches during his tenure.

The competition from Rohl for Driouech’s services suggests the former Rangers boss still sees value in the player he presumably scouted during his time at Ibrox. It also means Rangers would need to outbid or outmaneuver someone who knows their transfer playbook intimately.

Driouech signed a five-year deal in 2024, which means PSV have contractual leverage and zero pressure to accept a lowball offer. The £3 million figure that was floated back in February 2025, even if it was ultimately dismissed, gives a rough sense of the price range Rangers might be operating in.
