Mercato: Ramiz Zerrouki returns to Twente on loan!
According to the terms of the deal, the 27-year-old midfielder joins Twente on loan until the end of the current season. This comeback follows a challenging spell for Zerrouki at Feyenoord, where his playing time was significantly reduced, affecting both his performance level and consistency on the pitch. By returning to his former club, Zerrouki hopes to reignite his career, regain his rhythm, and convince national team coach Vladimir Petkovic to bring him back into the Fennecs' plans ahead of the upcoming international fixtures. As a reminder, Ramiz Zerrouki shone in Twente colors before joining Feyenoord in the summer of 2023. He arrived then on a contract running until 2027, but never managed to secure a regular spot in the Rotterdam squad.

Propper on 'eye opener' year at Rangers after Dutch return
The Dutch central defender joined the Ibrox club from FC Twente in his homeland last summer. After an unsuccessful year in Glasgow, he has now returned to his former team. "It was an eye opener for me," Propper told Twente's official YouTube channel of his Rangers stint after moving back to the Netherlands. "I wasn't aware of how foreign boys feel when they come to the Netherlands [before Rangers]. I think they need attention and time. "You have to be constantly involved within the team. I have noticed that abroad, it is different. Read more: "The team spirit here at Twente is so strong. That has been a huge strength at Twente. I realise now that it has to be kept in check. You have to invest in that. "You have to involve all the boys. That is one thing I want to take with me to the future." With managerial change at Ibrox, the future of Propper and several other Rangers players was uncertain earlier this summer. New head coach Russell Martin ultimately concluded the 31-year-old wouldn't be part of his plans. "It was a long wait," said Propper. "I wanted to know how it would go with Rangers. A lot happened there, and I wanted to see how it went. "I did pre-season and I played matches there. I don't think I missed much in terms of fitness "Of course I want to say that I had a great adventure at a beautiful club with a rich history. I always wanted that in my career. I think I want to look at a different mirror after a while. "I can say that I have done that now. It felt really good to come back to the club where I really wanted to be - where I felt at home. The first two days I immediately felt the feeling. "In a year you experience a lot. I have noticed that now. In a foreign country, certain things are different. I'm glad that I was able to experience that. "I played a lot of games. I had a lot of beautiful moments. Also a little less. In a year like this you experience so many things. "You have to experience that in your career. The way you deal with other people, you learn from that. I am very happy that I was able to do that."

Robin Propper on the Rangers dressing room 'difference' that he instantly found after Twente return
The Dutch defender now appreciates what new signings from abroad must feel when they arrive in the Netherlands Robin Propper has hinted that the Rangers dressing didn't have the team spirit he was expecting and now knows exactly how foreign imports feel when arriving in Holland. The Dutchman lasted a year at Ibrox before returning to the Netherlands and his previous club this week. The centre back won't go down as one of the better pieces of business done by the Glasgow giants after Philippe Clement drafted him in last August. He was given a run out during pre-season by Russell Martin but the writing was on the wall after the new boss signed Nasser Djiga and Emmanuel Fernandez to play in the same position, and an offer was accepted from Twente. And he seemed to suggest that the Gers dressing room wasn't exactly big on ensuring new faces from overseas were fully integrated, and it's made him appreciate the team spirit that exists in Enschede. "It was an eye-opener for me," Propper told the club's YouTube channel. "I wasn't aware of how foreign boys feel when they come to the Netherlands (before Rangers). I think they need attention and time. "You have to be constantly involved within the team. I have noticed that abroad it is different. "The team spirit here at Twente is so strong. That has been a huge strength at Twente. I realise now that it has to be kept in check. You have to invest in that. "You have to involve all the boys. That is one thing I want to take with me to the future." Propper's exit dragged on as he negotiated with Rangers over the terms of his departure with a year still left on his deal. But he insisted he enjoyed "beautiful moments' in light blue and is glad he had his year in Govan. Propper added: 'It was a long wait. I wanted to know how it would go with Rangers. A lot happened there and I wanted to see how it went. 'I did pre-season and I played matches there. I don't think I missed much in terms of fitness 'Of course I want to say that I had a great adventure at a beautiful club with a rich history. I always wanted that in my career. I think I want to look at a different mirror after a while. 'I can say that I have done that now. It felt really good to come back to the club where I really wanted to be - where I felt at home.

'You have to experience that in your career. The way you deal with other people, you learn from that. I am very happy that I was able to do that."

‘It was an eye-opener' – Robin Propper reveals what he learned at Rangers as he opens up on rollercoaster stint
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ROBIN PROPPER insists his year-long stint at Rangers was an "eye-opener". The Dutch defender left Rangers this weekend to seal a move back to his old team FC Twente just 12 months after he swapped both clubs for the first time. 3 Robin Propper has left Rangers after one year Credit: Willie Vass 3 He's back at his old team FC Twente Credit: Getty Propper, 31, was shown the door by Russell Martin after a disappointing stint at Ibrox - despite scoring against Celtic in the 3-0 Old Firm derby win back in January. He made 43 appearances in all competitions for Gers last season but didn't do enough to prove his worth to new manager Martin. But despite struggling in his first spell abroad in his career, Propper says it was huge learning experience that will only help him for the remainder of his playing days. One thing he will certainly take back with him was his first experience of being a foreign player in another country. Asked what he learned from his stint in Scotland, Propper told FC Twente's YouTube channel: "It was an eye-opener for me. I wasn't aware of how foreign boys feel when they come to the Netherlands (before Rangers). I think they need attention and time. "You have to be constantly involved within the team. I have noticed that abroad it is different. "The team spirit here at Twente is so strong. That has been a huge strength at Twente. I realise now that it has to be kept in check. You have to invest in that. "You have to involve all the boys. That is one thing I want to take with me to the future." Propper's move back to the Netherlands was a transfer saga with plenty of twists and turns. At one stage it looked like the proposed switch to Twente would fall through after contract talks had stalled with his old club. Rangers new boy Robin Propper reveals how Cyriel Dessers and Sam Lammers told him to join Gers However, Propper has confirmed the reason for the transfer delay was down to the fact he was weighing up his future in Glasgow following the arrival of Martin and Rangers' new US owners. He continued: 'It was a long wait. I wanted to know how it would go with Rangers. A lot happened there and I wanted to see how it went. 'I did pre-season and I played matches there. I don't think I missed much in terms of fitness 'Of course I want to say that I had a great adventure at a beautiful club with a rich history. I always wanted that in my career.
