Qudus SalihuJosh Windass has sent the Ibrox faithful into a frenzy following reports of a potential homecoming to Glasgow. The attacking midfielder, currently a key figure at Wrexham, has been heavily linked with a sensational return to Rangers to reunite with his former manager, Danny Röhl. Since taking the helm in October 2025, Röhl has revitalized the squad, and sources indicate he views Windass as the missing piece for a definitive title charge.
Following what have been described as “positive and productive” preliminary discussions between the player and the Rangers management, Windass took to social media to deliver a clear and fiery message to the supporters. He made it known that he is not interested in a sentimental journey, but rather a mission for silverware. “I know what this club means,” Windass stated. “I know the pressure, the passion, and the standard required. If the time is right to come back, I’m not coming to just participate—I’m coming to win.”
The message has resonated deeply with the Rangers support, many of whom remember his previous stint between 2016 and 2018 characterized by pace and clinical finishing. The existing rapport between Windass and Röhl is a significant catalyst for the deal; the German coach is widely credited with unlocking Windass’s best form during their shared time in the English Championship.
However, the path to a deal remains complex. Rangers are reportedly navigating financial constraints and may need to offload players like Danilo to accommodate the 31-year-old’s arrival. Meanwhile, Wrexham is understandably hesitant to part with a talisman during their own historic campaign. Despite these hurdles, the sheer intensity of Windass’s public stance suggests his heart is firmly set on the bright lights of Ibrox. For Danny Röhl, securing Windass would serve as a major statement of intent, signaling to the rest of the league that Rangers are fully prepared to reclaim their place at the summit of Scottish football.
