Scottish Premiership giants Rangers won’t be keeping Queens Park Rangers loanee Sean Goss at Ibrox next season with a return to Loftus Road likely.

Rangers manager Graeme Murty is seen during the Ladbrokes Scottish Premiership match between Rangers and Aberdeen at Ibrox Stadium on January 24, 2018 in Glasgow, Scotland.

It seems that Rangers’ dream of a permanent deal for QPR loanee Sean Goss has died already.

The 22-year-old playmaker has made a huge impact since moving to Ibrox in January and manger Graeme Murty made no effort to hide the fact that he would love to see Goss remain a Rangers player beyond the end of this season.

Though it seems that his QPR counterpart Ian Holloway does not share the same enthusiasm about the prospect of a departure from Loftus Road for the former Manchester United youngster.

“He’s my player, nobody else’s,” Holloway told the Daily Record.

“It’s not right he’s talking about trying to buy one of my players when that player is not for sale.

“I’m glad the boy is doing well. We bought him to be a good player – he is a good player – and I’m glad he’s getting the experience but he’s likely to come back and play for us. It’s as simple as that.

“His future is at QPR.”

Rangers have been at the centre of far too many prolonged transfer sagas in the last few months, with the likes of Jamie Walker, Lewis Morgan and Louis Moult (below) being embroiled in ‘will he, won’t he’ affairs before eventually moving elsewhere.

And it seems that Rangers would be simply wasting their time trying to tempt QPR to part with Goss permanently. Instead of making a series of doomed bids, they should spend the next few months searching for a player capable of replacing Goss’ scintillating midfield performances at Ibrox.

Fortunately, we are in the first week of March so there is plenty of time for Rangers.
