Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers have been far busier in the transfer window than Celtic so far, with Neil Lennon’s side quiet in comparison.

Leeds Live have suggested that Scottish clubs moved for Jack Harrison, which must spark rumours of Glasgow Rangers or Celtic’s interest.

Harrison looks set to move to Leeds United now, but it could be that Rangers or Celtic moved to sign the Manchester City winger.

Rangers and Celtic are surely the only two clubs in Scotland with the financial muscle and pulling power to attract a player of Harrison’s quality.

And although they have missed out on the 22-year-old could have been a good addition to Steven Gerrard’s or Neil Lennon’s squads.

Both Rangers and Celtic are thought to be looking to improve their attacks, and Harrison could have been an appealing option for either down the flank.

Harrison proved his worth in the Championship last season with Leeds, where he put in a series of solid performances for Marcelo Bielsa’s side.

Rangers and Celtic both have used their links with Premier League clubs in recent times to take players on loan.

Gerrard has brought in a whole collection of players from England on temporary spells, although a lot of these additions have come from Liverpool.

Celtic, meanwhile, have good links with Manchester City – after successfully loaning Patrick Roberts for 18 months previously.

And even though neither Celtic or Rangers look likely to sign Harrison this summer, it does appear that at least one of the pair was interested in signing the City winger this summer.
