Diehard Rangers fan Paddy McNair has been linked with a move to Celtic as our Glasgow rivals look to strengthen at centre-back.
The former Manchester United player is currently plying his trade with Middlesbrough but has always had a soft spot for the Gers.
Now 24, the talented Northern Ireland international is at a good age for a big move. But could he bring himself to join the dark side at Parkhead?
Well, it’s not entirely clear if the Celtic link to the player is genuine and will be followed through.
Football website TEAMtalk claim to have the exclusive on the story, which claims Celtic will have to shell out £3m for the Ulsterman.
The Daily Record claims that there is “little substance” to the report.
So it looks like Paddy McNair might not be forced to choose between his loyalty to the blue of Rangers and the green of Celtic.
It also leaves the door open for the 29-times capped defender to one day come to Ibrox. It’s not out with the realm of possibility.
Not that there was any guarantee Paddy would be joining our rivals in Glasgow.
Most Rangers fans would baulk at the prospect of playing out of the city’s east end.
Talking of defenders, could Rangers be about to sign an experienced old teammate of Steven Gerrard’s [Daily Record]?
