CL club now in talks to beat Rangers to signing Ibrox-linked Scotsman – Sky Sports
Rangers are connected to Scott McKenna in a late January deal; Nottingham Forest is in the process of letting him go;
Sky Sports reports that FC Copenhagen has begun negotiations with Nottingham Forest to sign McKenna before the
transfer deadline.
The news agency reports that the central defender wants to depart for more regular games ahead of this summer’s Euro
2024, writing in their live transfer blog on January 30, 12:10.
The former Aberdeen defender was linked to Rangers and Celtic earlier in the transfer window, but it now appears he
may head to Copenhagen, a Champions League rival, before his contract expires in the summer.
They stated, “FC Copenhagen and Forest have begun talks over a deal that would bring Scottish international Scott
McKenna to Denmark.”
“It is believed that McKenna is eager to transfer in order to receive more consistent playing time leading up to Scotland’s
participation in the Euros this summer.
“McKenna hasn’t played for Forest in the Premier League since September. He’s also been linked to Rangers.”
“Any agreement with Copenhagen is expected to mark the end of McKenna’s time at the City Ground, as his Forest
contract expires in June.”

Since it was rumored that Philippe Clement was looking to add a new central defense this month, Rangers were
connected to a transfer for McKenna. However, it now appears that this information may not be accurate.
A move for McKenna never really seemed possible, but as he is Scottish and is seeking more regular playing time, a link
to Glasgow’s biggest club made sense and was simple to arrange. However, as the month has gone on, we have seen
fewer ties to center-backs.
In the end, though, it wasn’t a top priority for this transfer window because Connor Goldson, Ben Davies, John Souttar,
Leon Balogun, and even Leon King could all play in that position.
Copenhagen is an appealing alternative because they can give him regular games and a chance to participate in the
Champions League.
It’s an agreement that benefits all parties involved—including the Rangers—because other deals must be finalized as
soon as possible, with Thursday’s deadline being the first priority.
In other Rangers news, following Philippe Clement’s remarks, Chris Sutton was taken aback by what he perceived as
“Remarkable.”
