Celtic and Rangers target Lyndon Dykes signs for Queens Park Rangers

Lyndon Dykes has completed his move from Livingston to Queens Park Rangers.

The 24-year-old had been linked with both Celtic and Rangers, but has decided to leave Scottish football and join the English Championship side.

Dykes, who joined Livingston in January 2019 from Queen of the South, has signed a four-year deal with the club.

QPR are managed by former Rangers boss Mark Warburton.

The striker was left out of Gary Holt's side on Sunday as Livi held Rangers to a 0-0 draw at the Tony Macaroni Arena.

Dykes was born in Australia, but is eligible to play for the Scottish national team.

Speaking on the official QPR website, Warburton said: “I am delighted, delighted!

“He is a player who can score goals and he showed his quality against Rangers and Celtic last season.

“He is a hard worker, a good finisher and I think he is going to go on to become a good international for Scotland.

“He is still young and raw, and there is a lot of development potential in him.

“A lot of good work has been done and he has worked very hard in Scotland, and we hope very much that we can help him move to the next level.”
