The Hapoel Raanana Post
Player ratings7 Sep 2026
Omer Senior was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 34. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Window shuts: 18 in, 3 out at Hapoel Raanana
The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 18 arrived, 3 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

A row about effort at Hapoel Raanana
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Saidu Fofanah was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Hapoel Raanana rebuffed over Or Israelov
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Hapoel Tel Aviv have kept their man, and Hapoel Raanana go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Aviv Lin in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Hapoel Raanana this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

A loan move for Or Israelov is in the works
Hapoel Raanana have made the call to Hapoel Tel Aviv. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

A step back for Lee-Yam Dan at Hapoel Raanana
Somebody has moved past him. It is not a dropping and it is worse than one, because a dropping is about a Saturday and this is about where he stands.

Too much change too quickly at Hapoel Raanana
6 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Omer Senior rescues a point for Hapoel Raanana
It needed Omer Senior to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Hapoel Acre, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.
In brief
