Oliver Burke and Joe Worrall meet up after failed spells with Celtic and Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers.

It looks like Celtic winger Oliver Burke will probably follow Joe Worrall back to English football after the centre-back’s spell at Rangers last season.

Worrall officially left Rangers last week after his season-long loan came to an end.

Likewise, Burke, on loan at Celtic from West Bromwich Albion, won’t be too far behind the defender.

Despite a brilliant start to life in Glasgow, Burke, who earns £30,000 per week with Albion, went off the rails in a major way as far as form goes.

The same could be said for the 22-year-old at Ibrox. Worrall had some good games, but his spell in Glasgow will go down as a failure.

Nevertheless, the pair, who began their careers at Nottingham Forest, reunited on Sunday, with Worrall posting a photo of them both alongside the caption ‘Friends Again’.

Brendan Rodgers leaving Parkhead seemed to be the end of Burke, who had justified slight comparisons to Gareth Bale under the Northern Irishman.

He demonstrated immense pace and power and had some cracking performances under Rodgers, but struggled once Neil Lennon – given the job on a long-term basis now – took over.
