Charlie Gilmour is a free agent after the well-known Rangers supporter secured the termination of his contract with EFL Championship side Norwich City.

The 21-year-old started his career with Arsenal, coming up through the system and starring in the Premier League 2 before making his senior debut in a Europa League game in 2018.

The highly-talented defensive midfielder was released by the Gunners in June 2019, though, and subsequently snapped up by then top-flight side, Norwich.

He spent last season on loan at Dutch second-tier club SC Telstar, becoming a regular starter in the league.

However, his efforts in the Netherlands weren’t enough to force him into Daniel Farke’s plans at Carrow Road and after failing to make a matchday squad over the opening stages of the current campaign, he has opted to leave.

The Canaries announced the mutually agreed termination of Gilmour’s contract earlier this week [Canaries.co.uk].

The news came just days after the player once again made his allegiances clear on Twitter with a celebratory post after Rangers triumphed in Saturday’s Old Firm at Parkhead.

The former Scotland U19 international tweeted: “Glasgow is blue, Glasgow was blue, Glasgow will always be blue,” alongside a GIF of Steven Gerrard.

It will be interesting to see what is next for Gilmour, with the midfielder now available to be picked up on a free transfer.
