Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers are linked with Kenny McLean and the former Celtic ace believes it could happen.

Speaking on Sky Sports News, Charlie Nicholas believes there’s a chance that Kenny McLean could join Rangers in the summer – but suggests that there will be English clubs rivalling the Ibrox club.

Aberdeen boss Derek McInnes – also linked with Rangers – revealed to The Sun last month that the 25-year-old midfielder would not be signing a contract extension and could leave for free in the summer.

The Ibrox club lodged a £300,000 bid for the boyhood Gers fan back in July, according to The Record, but former Celtic striker Nicholas believes they could get their man.

However, the Sky Sports pundit has also suggested that a host of English clubs could be interested in the central midfielder, who has 17 goals for the Dons over the past three seasons.

He told Sky Sports News: “Aberdeen had a good result at Kilmarnock at the weekend.

“McLean I think has been a target for Rangers and there’s talk that he hasn’t signed and that he will be moving to Rangers in the summer, but I think English teams will be in for him.”

Rangers fans will catch another few glimpses of their would-be signing over the coming days as McInnes’s side visit Ibrox tonight, before hosting Graeme Murty’s side at Pittodrie on the weekend.
