Steven Gerrard’s Ibrox club Glasgow Rangers have edged ahead of Celtic in the race for Nottingham Forest defender Joe Worrall, according to The Express.

It has been reported that Old Firm rivals Rangers and Celtic are interested in signing Forest defender Worrall in the summer transfer window.

The Gers are claimed to have moved ahead of Brendan Rodgers’s side in the race for the 21-year-old, but Celtic are reported to have the financial clout to match any offer that Rangers may make.

Aston Villa, West Bromwich Albion and Stoke City are interested in the England Under-21 international, according to The Daily Record.

Forest manager Aitor Karanka has suggested to The Scottish Sun that he would be open to sending Worrall out on loan.

Rangers or Celtic?

Both Rangers and Celtic are massive clubs and are very ambitious, and it is not going to be easy for Worrall to make a choice if both the Gers and the Bhoys make an offer.

Rodgers’s Celtic do need a defender this season, as their displays so far this season have not been great.
