Scottish Premiership giants Rangers are reportedly battling Championship duo Leeds United and Derby County for Kilmarnock forward Eamonn Brophy.
Kilmarnock forward Eamonn Brophy has admitted to the Scottish Sun that he has made ‘incredible’ progress in his career of late as Rangers and Leeds United continue to be linked with the highly-rated attacker.
A 23-year-old who was released by Celtic as a youngster for being ‘too small’, Brophy continues to show The Hoops what they are missing with some exceptional performances at the tip of Killie’s frontline.
Brophy scored 12 goals in all competitions across 2018/19 and he is in line to make a first appearance for the Scotland national team during next month’s Euro 2020 qualifiers against Belgium and Cyprus.
According to TEAMtalk, Rangers have been impressed enough by Brophy’s performances to consider him a potential replacement for Alfredo Morelos while Leeds and Derby County are also reportedly interested.
And Brophy appears to be very content with the way his career is going right now.
“It has been a quite incredible turnaround over the past few years. When I left Hamilton two summers ago for Kilmarnock, playing for Scotland was the furthest thing from my mind,” the Glasgow-born forward said.
“I have always believed in myself and I have always backed myself.”
Brophy fired Kilmarnock into the Europa League with seconds to go on the final game of the Scottish Premiership season, firing home an 89th minute winner against his alleged suitors Rangers.
