Aidan McAdams’ dream to gain first-team experience away from Rangers looks set to be realised, according to the Sun.

Speaking to the Evening Times last month, McAdams admitted that talks over a loan move from Ibrox had already taken place.

“I need to get first team games before I can do much in the game,” explained the teenage goalkeeper. “And I have spoken to [the Rangers academy head] Craig Mulholland and Billy Kirkwood, who is now the loan manager for the development squad.

“And I have spoken to my two goalie coaches, Colin [Stewart] and Graeme Smith and we think the next thing for me is to go out and get that experience of playing against men week in week out. I am looking forward to that.”

And the Sun claims McAdams has remained a target for summer suitors Annan Athletic, whose manager, Peter Murphy, ‘looks like getting his man’.

The 19-year-old arrived at Rangers from Old Firm rivals Celtic 18 months ago and has recently trained with Steven Gerrard’s first team.

But a first ever taste of senior football is now said to await in Scotland’s fourth tier.

McAdams’ Rangers teammate Kyle Bradley has spent the first half of the season on loan to Annan, for whom he has made 12 appearances.

McAdams has 18 months left on his contract at Rangers, where his rivals include Allan McGregor, Wes Foderingham and Robby McCrorie.
