Scottish Premiership giants Rangers have already lost Louis Moult to Preston North End – and the Championship side want St Mirren’s Lewis Morgan too.
Rangers fans were left fuming when it was announced that Preston North End had sealed the signing of Motherwell striker Louis Moult earlier this week.
According to the Daily Record, the top scorer in Scotland’s top flight will join Preston in the January transfer window after agreeing a £450,000 move to Deepdale. And the Scottish Sun claim that the former Stoke City starlet even rejected Rangers to return to England.
Moult has tormented Rangers for quite some time, even scoring twice against them in the Scottish League Cup semi-final in October. But despite looking like exactly the man Rangers needed, and being available on a cut-price deal with his contract due to expire in the summer, the Glasgow giants have let the 25-year-old pass them by.
And it seems that there is a chance that Preston could ramp up Rangers’ fans blood pressure even more with the January window two weeks away.
According to the Nottingham Post, the Lilywhites are keen to raid Scotland again for St Mirren’s talented wideman Lewis Morgan – a player Rangers released from their academy as a youngster and are reportedly keen to bring back to Ibrox in January.
A left winger is a must for Rangers in the New Year and Morgan, who has established himself as one of Scotland’s brightest talents with 10 goals in 22 games this season, would add the necessary creativity and end product to Graeme Murty’s attack.
But if Preston fight off competition from Nottingham Forest and Celtic, they will not only have completed two terrific bargain signings but also handed Rangers a nightmare start to 2018.
