Tam McManus has suggested on Twitter that Steven Gerrard’s Glasgow Rangers and Neil Lennon’s Celtic are looking at the same winger.

The former Hibernian forward, who now works as a pundit for BBC Sport, has claimed on Twitter that Celtic have been looking at a replacement winger should Scott Sinclair leave.

McManus has claimed that the 30-year-old former Chelsea and Aston Villa winger is not Celtic manager Neil Lennon’s cup of tea.

The 38-year-old Scotsman has also claimed that Celtic have a winger lined up as a replacement for Sinclair, but Rangers could also make a move for the same player.

Could it be Brandon Barker?

According to The Herald, Rangers are on the verge of signing Brandon Barker in the summer transfer window.

It has been reported that the Gers are looking at the 22-year-old Manchester City winger as an alternative to Liverpool winger Ryan Kent.

The Daily Mail claimed in June 2019 that Celtic were looking at Barker amid uncertainty over the future of Sinclair.
