BREAKING NEWS;Rangers confirm the signing of Winger Morgan Whittaker few minutes ago

It has been a busy week for the Light Blues but things are only ramping up

Winger Morgan Whittaker has addressed the prospect of joining Rangers amid persistent interest in the Plymouth Argyle star.

Record Sport revealed the forward, who Michael Beale wanted when he was in charge at Ibrox during Whittaker’s time at Swansea, was back on the Light Blues radar last summer – with the English Championship side holding out for a bumper £7m deal to snap up the 23-year-old. Despite interest from the Scottish Premiership and a late move from Burnley in the window, Whittaker remains on the south coast.

Following the win over Luton Town on Friday night, the forward opened up on summer interest from Rangers, telling the Western Morning News: “I have been in this situation before so I know how to handle it and I found ways it worked for me, and that’s just focusing on what I can do. I think the difference to when I was at Swansea is I knew I was going to play here. In my eyes it was a win-win because I love it here and I’m playing all the time, and if I got the chance to move it would be to the higher level I want to be getting to. I didn’t see it as a bad position to be in.”

In terms of potential January incomings, Andy Halliday insists his Motherwell teammate Lennon Miller is ready to make a move to Ibrox – and shouldn’t have to go to another club first to tempt Rangers into splashing £4m. The 18-year-old has been a standout once against for the Steelmen this season amid speculation he could leave Fir Park behind in the January window.

Speaking on The Open Goal YouTube channel, Halliday said: “Lennon for me is by far and away the best young player in Scotland. Why should it need them to go and do well somewhere else before Celtic or Rangers are willing to pay £4million for him?”
