'Wow' - Frank McAvennie blown away by what he's now heard from Rangers

Frank McAvennie has been left blown away by some Glasgow Rangers transfer news that he has now heard from Ibrox involving Alex Lowry.

It has been reported that both Newcastle United and Manchester City are now interested in signing Lowry in the summer, after holding talks with his camp.

“If Man City and Newcastle are interested, then wow – he’s gonna get a bit of money there.
