Steve1872 4 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 RANGERS are set to swoop for St Mirren midfielder Kenny McLean — but fear they could lose him to English football. Ibrox boss Ally McCoist has drawn up a list of targets for next season’s Championship campaign and the Scotland Under-21 star, is on it. McLean, 22, has also been targeted by several English clubs who know his Buddies contract expires this summer. Ipswich gaffer Mick McCarthy watched McLean in action against Hungary earlier this month. Leeds, Blackburn Rovers and Huddersfield have also been north to run the rule over McLean. Paisley gaffer Danny Lennon has admitted the highly-rated kid is unlikely to sign a new deal, but Saints will hope he decides to head south. If he does they would pick up around £350,000 in compensation as McLean has been with them since he was 14. If he moved to Gers or another Scottish club, a tribunal would decide Saints’ fee for developing the player. McLean grew up a Gers fan and was discarded by their youth system as a kid. But the prospect of joining his boyhood heroes might sway his decision. Ibrox boss Ally McCoist, has yet to find out what funds — if any — he’ll have to strengthen his squad this summer. But the deals of fringe men Kyle Hutton, Emilson Cribari and Steve Simonsen are all up and that could free up some cash. from the sun 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy steel 0 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 'Tribunal decides Rangers should pay £5m for McLean' Sounds about right...good player,mind you. Doubt he'd fancy 2nd division in Scotland, tho. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

the gunslinger 3,366 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 We need far far better. But he's at least the right type of player. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebear54 0 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 McLean moves to Blackburn, all Scotland wishes him well. McLean moves to Rangers, all Scotland denounces Rangers for stealing talent from other clubs, and for living beyond the means of a Championship side. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Cooper 0 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Expect Celtic supporting chapel going Daniel Lennon to be in the press soon saying the kid deserves better than Rangers and moving down a division would be wrong for the lads career. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I've never heard of him to be honest, it seems the only league we get players from now is the SPFL, and it's not a good place to look. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Within the Rangers scouting radius if the scout has a bus pass. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 But the deals of fringe men Kyle Hutton, Emilson Cribari and Steve Simonsen are all up and that could free up some cash. If Cribari is leaving then its another centre half down and that suggests we will be going into the season with McCulloch again. I like Hutton as a player but he has been unlucky with injuries. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
