HITC Sport understands Derby defender Max Lowe is set for Scotland loan move.
Derby County defender Max Lowe is poised to join Scottish Premiership side Aberdeen on loan, HITC Sport understands from sources close to the club.
Lowe started the season as Derby’s first-choice left-back after impressing new boss Frank Lampard in pre-season.
The 21-year-old, who has come through the youth ranks at Derby, started the opening two Championship games of the season against Reading and Leeds.
However, the recent arrival of Scott Malone from Huddersfield has pushed him down the pecking order in Lampard’s first-team plans.
Craig Forsyth has started the last two Championship wins against Ipswich and Preston at left-back meaning Lowe is third-choice in the battle for a place in the starting XI.
Lampard is willing to loan out Lowe so that he can continue his development with regular first-team football this season.
A number of clubs have expressed an interest in taking Lowe on loan, but Aberdeen have moved quickly to agree a deal with Derby for the defender.
Lowe had a spell out on loan at Shrewsbury last season, making 16 appearances in all competitions and Derby believe he will benefit by going out on loan again to Aberdeen before challenging for a spot in the side at Pride Park.
