A reported Rangers, Celtic and West Bromwich Albion target hopes to quit his current club, according to The Sun (2 October, page 55).

Teamtalk claimed earlier this week that Rangers and Celtic have each ‘expressed an interest’ in signing the Stoke City winger Tom Ince, with West Brom ‘considering a move’.

The website added that Ince is not in the plans of his Stoke manager Michael O’Neill, having failed to make a single league appearance this season.

And O’Neill, it seems, is not the only one who wants him out.

Ince – described by The Sun as a ‘£12 million winger’ – is himself said to want a loan move.

And the chance to join either a Europa League side, such as Celtic or Rangers – whose manager, Steven Gerrard, was a teammate of Ince at Liverpool – or a Premier League one, like West Brom, would surely appeal to the 28-year-old.

Since leaving Liverpool, Ince has appeared for Blackpool, Crystal Palace, Hull City, Nottingham Forest, Derby County and Huddersfield Town, as well as Stoke – and featured for three of those in the Premier League.

Whilst at Palace, the former England Under-21 international named Gerrard, who has spent the past two-and-a-half years at Rangers, as the player he would most like to play alongside, in an interview with FourFourTwo.

Fans of Rangers, Celtic and West Bromwich Albion – would Ince be a good addition to your side?
