Rangers winger in transfer demand as starlet 'open' to Ibrox exit amid Greek and SPFL interest

Dundee United head coach Jack Ross is believed to be eyeing Rangers winger Glenn Middleton this summer alongside Greek outfit Atromitos

The 23-time capped Scotland U21s international has spent the last 18 months at St Johnstone where he experienced the extreme highs and lows of football. Middleton played a huge role in their League Cup and Scottish Cup double in 2021 before fighting relegation at McDiarmid Park, eventually surviving via a two-legged Premiership play-off. Football Scotland now reports that Dundee United 'have been in contact' over potentially swooping for Middleton.

Rangers have been 'approached' for his services and Middleton is 'open' to leaving Ibrox after loan spells at Saints, Hibs and Bradford City. Greek Super League league side Atromitos - managed by former Wales boss Chris Coleman - are another team who could enter the fray. Coleman is reported to be a 'big admirer of the playmaker' and may enter the race for him.

Middleton joined Rangers in 2017 after a spell in the Norwich City academy and signed a five-year deal in 2018 after enjoying games under former boss Steven Gerrard.

Current manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst has bolstered his forward line with Tom Lawrence, Rabbi Matondo, Malik Tillman and Tom Lawrence, making minutes even more limited for Middleton.

A pre-season cameo was gifted to the winger on Saturday in a 2-1 win over Blackpool but more minutes are likely to dry up soon.
