Rangers star 'targeted' by Israeli Premier League giants

Rangers star Josh McPake could head to Israel to continue his career on loan at Hapoel Be'Er Sheva, with the possibility of it becoming a permanent move.

The Coatbride 20-year-old has been at Ibrox since 2019 and broke through from their youth academy, but has been on a series of loans at Dundee, Morton, Harrogate Town, Morecambe and Tranmere since.

Football Scotland report that the Israeli Premier League side are keen on a loan for the winger, and could make it permanent if he impresses.

McPake has had question marks levelled at him in recent months over his attitude, but he is currently working with a personal trainer, alongside his work at Rangers, and it has previously been reported that the Ibrox club want him to undertake pre-season training with them.

Be'Er Sheva, who knocked Motherwell out of the Europa League in September 2020, finished second in the Premier League last season and have qualified for the Europa Conference League second qualifying round alongside the Fir Park club.
