Rangers and Celtic linked target ‘set to complete’ transfer to Champions League club

Scott McKenna, who has been linked to Rangers and Celtic, is apparently planning to finalize his departure from Premier League team

Nottingham Forest prior to the January transfer deadline.

The Scotland international’s only six appearances for the English premier league team

this year came as a substitute in the team’s 3-2

FA Cup replay victory over Blackpool of EFL League One earlier this month.

Both Glasgow giants were reportedly interested in signing the strong center-back at the beginning of January. The Ibrox team

appeared to have the upper hand in the competition for his services when it became known that Hoops manager

Brendan Rodgers was looking at other defensive options.

But it appears that McKenna’s future is now elsewhere, as many reports from below the border state that the 27-year-old will be

joining FC Copenhagen, the Danish Superliga winners, within the next 24 hours.

McKenna wants to play regular football, according to Daily Telegraph reporter John Percy, in an effort to solidify his spot in Steve

Clarke’s Scotland team before the summer’s European Championships in Germany. “Another outgoing at #nffc: Scotland international

Scott McKenna is set to sign for #FCCopenhagen,” Percy posted on X, the previous Twitter platform. Fantastic chance for McKenna,

who needs to play a lot of football before the Euros (Copenhagen also plays Man C in the UECL next month).

It’s yet unknown if the agreement to join Copenhagen, who are getting ready for the start of their new season in Denmark, is a loan

deal or a permanent one. A small sum is thought to be involved because the player’s contract

expires at the end of the current campaign.

McKenna will return to the UK quickly to play Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League last-16 in March, if his transfer is

approved. He would become friends with Jordan Larsson, the son of Hoops icon Henrik, and former Celtic winger Mohamed
