Celtic appear close to signing Rhian Brewster, which would be a big problem for Rangers.
Rangers will be cursing if Celtic pull off a reported deal to sign Liverpool sensation Rhian Brewster.
The Herald report Celtic have opened talks with Liverpool over a loan deal for Brewster.
This would be a serious kick in the teeth for Rangers, who are on the brink of luring Steven Gerrard to Ibrox.
Gerrard is Brewster’s under-18s coach at Liverpool and has helped the talented teenager flourish.
Rangers would have hoped that bringing in Gerrard, as BBC Sport report they are close to doing, would put them in pole position to land Liverpool’s best talents.
England Under-17 World Cup winner Brewster is arguably the very best, and Rangers cannot afford to let Celtic steal in and agree a deal.
What is even more galling for Rangers is that Celtic are already blessed with top strikers, possessing Moussa Dembele, Odsonne Edouard and Leigh Griffiths.
Brewster would be a luxury deal, while Rangers are still searching for a game changer up front.
A quick appointment of Gerrard could see Rangers scupper Celtic’s move for Brewster, but Celtic appear to have stolen a march by negotiating early.
