Rangers flop Rabbi Matondo could return to Scottish football six months after Ibrox exit

about 2 hours ago

Former Rangers winger Rabbi Matondo could be back at Ibrox this season, just not in the home dressing room. The Wales international parted ways with the Light Blues in March 2026, joining Norwegian club Brann.

However, after three months, he was released by them, and he is currently a free agent as he did not join any club in the transfer window. How do you feel about the departures at Rangers this summer?

21 players have left Ibrox in the past few months đź‘‹ TalkingPoints Rabbi Matondo joins Hibs' training camp with a view to sign a contract Matondo has joined Hibs' training camp in La Manga, according to the Daily Record. As the 26-year-old is without a club, he wants to return to fitness and is eligible to train with another team.

Apart from getting back into shape, the winger hopes to find a new club and is keen on signing a contract at Easter Road. Marink Reedijk, the new Hibs manager, will be meeting his squad in Spain and will then make a decision on Matondo.

As things stand, it is unclear if Hibs will offer him a contract, as it depends on a number of factors. For starters, personal terms need to be agreed, which, along with wages, would hinge on how much game time Reedijk is willing to promise the winger.

What may work in the Welshman's favour is the fact that he has decent experience in the Scottish Premiership and is yet to hit his prime. MORE RANGERS STORIES Why things did not work out for Matondo at Rangers Matondo arrived at Ibrox with a lot of hype and energy, but failed to maintain a level of consistency that saw him as a genuine starter for the senior team.

Along with that, he also faced issues with his fitness. Philippe Clement did not seem to be too impressed with the winger as a starter and preferred to get him off the bench to impact games.

This is obviously something that did not sit well with the former Schalke attacker. In 70 appearances for the Ibrox outfit, he only managed to score eight goals and provide 11 assists, an underwhelming output for someone who was expected to be a regular starter and game changer.

It remains to be seen whether or not he's a hit at Hibs.
