Former Ibrox star Kris Boyd has suggested in The Scottish Sun that Rangers should make a move for Norwich City midfielder Kenny McLean.

The former Rangers midfielder believes that Steven Gerrard’s side could persuade McLean to leave Norwich for the Gers in the summer transfer window.

The Canaries are in real danger of getting relegated from the Premier League if and when the season gets back underway.

Boyd wrote in The Scottish Sun: “Maybe there will be some top players who like the idea of playing for a club the size of Rangers in a season when they could go down in history.

“Kenny McLean might be one. He’ll be on big money at Norwich City and he’s arguably at the peak of his career.

“But he’s a big Rangers man and, who knows, could he be tempted to come back up the road if an offer was placed in front of him with his side likely to go down?”

Stats

McLean has been on the books of Norwich since 2018 and is playing in the Premier League at the moment.

According to WhoScored, the 28-year-old midfielder has made 25 starts and three substitute appearances in the Premier League for the Canaries so far this season, scoring one goal and providing one assist in the process.

During the 2018-19 campaign, the Scotland international made 15 starts and five substitute appearances in the Championship for Norwich, scoring three goals and providing six assists in the process, according to WhoScored.

According to Transfermarkt.co.uk, McLean – who earns £10,000 per week as salary, according to Spotrac.com – is under contract at Norwich until the summer of 2021.
