Burnley swoop for ex-Rangers defender amidst strong interest from English clubs after Airdrie spell

Harris O'Connor is being coveted by a host of English clubs after leaving Airdrie.

The 19-year-old was on trial at the Diamonds over the summer and he played in their North Lanarkshire Cup final defeat against Clyde.

Diamonds boss Ian Murray was impressed with the central defender who departed Rangers earlier in the summer.

Ultimately, a deal wasn't reached for him to stay at Airdrie and he went on trial with Stoke City.

The Scotland youth international enjoyed a successful spell at the Championship side but he's now moved onto Burnley.

O'Connor featured for the Clarets under-23 side in their friendly against Lancaster City last night as he attempts to win a deal with the English Premier League outfit.
