Ibrox View: One Team of the Year star missing piece for sustained Rangers success

Elijah Just should be a Rangers transfer priority in the summer for Andrew Cavenagh.

The New Zealand international is part of the midfield in the PFA Scotland Premiership Team of the year for the 2025-26 season.

While Gers fans will be disappointed to see Emmanuel Fernandez being the only player to represent their club in the best eleven, they should demand the arrival of the Motherwell attacking-midfielder at Ibrox in the summer.

The Light Blues have lacked a reliable playmaker in the current campaign, but Just could solve that problem, having scored seven goals and provided seven assists in the William Hill Premiership.

Cavenagh must back Danny Rohl with quality signings in the coming months, regardless of whether the Glaswegian outfit manages to win the league title, and the Motherwell ace should be at the top of their agenda.

Rangers must build competitive side for Danny Rohl

If the Gers manage to keep Mikey Moore from Tottenham Hotspur for the 2026-27 campaign, then Just may be the only missing piece for sustained success in Govan.

The attacking quartet of Djeidi Gassama, Just, Moore and Chermiti or Naderi up top could potentially make the Glaswegian outfit the favourites for major honours next season.

Thelo Aasgaard has struggled for consistency at the Light Blues and it wouldn’t be surprising to see him get replaced in the summer.

Just has emerged as a target at Ibrox and the New Zealand international may have a massive impact in Rohl’s quest for titles in G51 in the coming future.

Ibrox duo should be in contention for Team of the Year

Jack Butland will feel he’s done more than Calum Ward to get a sniff in the PFA Team of the Year, but it looks like the players who voted had other ideas.

Rangers supporters can also feel hard done by the fact that Nicolas Raskin isn’t in it despite his heroic performances since the turn of the year.

The Belgium international started the season slowly under Russell Martin, but is arguably the best midfielder on his day in Scotland.

If the Govan side end up winning the title, then there will definitely be an argument to have more than just one Gers player in the Premiership best eleven.
