Reported Rangers target Graeme Shinnie is set to move to English Championship side Derby, according to a report.
Telegraph journalist John Percy has claimed on his Twitter account that Shinnie has agreed a three-year deal with Frank Lampard’s side.
That means Shinnie will join up with his new teammates when his contract at Aberdeen expires at the end of the season. It will also put to bed any reports linking him with a move to Ibrox.
The Aberdeen captain was linked to Rangers by the Express in January. A BBC report at the beginning of April then claimed Shinnie had travelled south to speak with Derby over the potential move.
There have been questions over the legitimacy of Rangers interest but now any notion Shinnie could move to Rangers appears to have been put to bed.
The move certainly fits the profile of Rangers early transfer interest. The Ibrox club has already secured three pre-contract deals as we look forward to next season.
Rangers have to date signed
There have also been intensified reports that Rangers are “getting closer” to signing Rennes defender Mexer as a free agent come the end of the season.
