However, both Rangers and Celtic appear set for disappointment, with The Liverpool Echo claiming that the teenager will join Fleetwood Town instead.
The teenager will reportedly move to Joey Barton’s side on January transfer deadline day for the rest of the season after signing a new contract with Everton.
Barton is a former Rangers midfielder who is aiming to guide Fleetwood to the League One playoffs this season.
Disappointment
Gibson is a very good and talented young defender who would have been a very good signing for Rangers or Celtic in the long term, and it will be a disappointment for the Scottish giants that they will miss out on him.
