A big Rangers claim has emerged on Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s chances of bringing a talented midfielder to Ibrox in the summer transfer window…
Gers podcaster David Edgar has poured cold water over the chances of an Ibrox academy graduate making his way back to Rangers for the 2022/23 campaign.
Scotland international, Billy Gilmour, is reportedly a player the Light Blues are tracking this year but the reporter, who claims to have insider ties with the player’s family, does not believe that a move is on the cards.
Speaking on the Heart & Hand Daily Update [24/05/22] on Patreon about Gilmour, Edgar said:
“Well I can tell you that it’s not something like you may have seen on social media, things saying ‘done deal’, there’s absolutely no truth in that. I know his family quite closely down here in Ayrshire, and trust me, they’d be keen to tell us if that was the case.
“He’ll return to Chelsea after his loan with Norwich City and if Thomas Tuchel can’t offer him more game time the likelihood is he will head out permanently.
“He doesn’t really want to do another loan if he’s got no chance of making it at Chelsea. I think the fee would be prohibitive for Rangers if we were going to go in for him and that’s over and above whether the player wanted to come back to Scotland or wanted to stay in the EPL where he does have offers.”

This is a huge shame for the Light Blues as the 20-year-old would be an excellent, exciting, addition
