According to a Sky Sports report, there could be a twist in the Rangers and Celtic chase in Serie A.
Lecce, a Serie A team, has made an offer for Celtic defender Gustaf Lagerbielke in connection with Scott McKenna, who is reportedly being targeted by the Rangers.
According to Sky Sports, the Italian team is interested in signing the 23-year-old center back on a temporary loan
until the end of the current campaign.
As Nat Philipps, a defender on loan from Liverpool, is also expected to return to Anfield in January, this could
theoretically open up a spot in the Celtic squad for a new defender.
Rangers and Celtics have Scott McKenna connected.
Rangers supporters who have been following the Scott McKenna links at Ibrox will be aware of the Celtic connection
to the Nottingham Forest defender.
The 27-year-old Scotland international McKenna is anticipated to depart the City Ground in January after losing
favor with the Premier League team.
The defender is still anticipated to be traded this January, even though he was added back to the Forest roster for
their FA Cup match against Blackpool this past weekend.
Although there are rumors that Celtic is not in the running to sign the defender—whose contract expires in the
summer—Brendan Rodgers’ attempt to sign McKenna as an Aberdeen center-back was unsuccessful.
Scott McKenna is a self-described Celtics fan.
Scott McKenna has been linked to Celtic and Rangers, and Turkish team Trabzonspor has also been suggested as a possible suitor.
Gers pursuing a center-back?
Rangers’ defense has shown strength at times this season, but the team has struggled to find a reliable left-sided
defensive partner for Connor Goldson.
The future of the frequently hurt Ben Davies is still up in the air, and John Souttar has struggled to establish himself
under Philippe Clement. In addition to the vice captain of Ibrox, the Belgian’s first choice has been Leon Balogun, who turns 36 in the summer.
While Rangers supporters are already contemplating other transfer options, Celtic may not be reevaluating their
position on Scott McKenna as Lecce moves for Lagerbielke.
Among them is a bluenose English Championship defender who may be leaving his present team in January.
