Rangers face competition from Celtic in their bid to bring Lewis Morgan back to Ibrox.
According to the Scottish Daily Mail (Press Reader), St Mirren will demand that winger Lewis Morgan is loaned back to the club for the rest of the season as Celtic and Rangers scrap for his signature.
The summer transfer window closed just a matter of weeks ago, but some clubs are already preparing for the January transfer window, with Celtic and Rangers possibly vying for the same target.
St Mirren ace Morgan, 20, has become a star over the last year, hitting ten goals in 46 games last term before really hitting the headlines this term, with six goals in 11 outings for the Scottish Championship side.
The winger, formerly a youth player for Rangers, is now attracting huge interest, with the Scottish Daily Mail (Press Reader) reporting that Celtic and Rangers are among the clubs keen to sign Morgan in January.
Morgan is out of contract at the end of the season, but it’s claimed that St Mirren would only sell him in January if a club meets their demand to loan him back to Paisley for the rest of the season.
St Mirren are second in the Scottish Championship right now and want Morgan to help their push for promotion, with Jack Ross’ men seemingly unwilling to see out the second half of the season without their star youngster.
It now remains to be seen whether Celtic and Rangers accept those demands, but they may be able to given that Celtic signed three wingers over the summer in Jonny Hayes, Odsonne Edouard and Patrick Roberts, whilst Rangers added three of their own as Daniel Candeias, Aaron Nemane and Dalcio all arrived at Ibrox.
Rangers will be keen to bring Morgan back to Ibrox having previously had him in their youth setup, but Celtic’s lure of title challenges and Champions League football could be appealing, if Morgan ends up having to pick between the two Old Firm rivals.
