Rangers face fight to hang onto highly-rated youngster as EPL clubs circle

Rangers face a fight to keep hold of talented young goalkeeper Rydnn McGuire.

The 17-year-old starred as a young Gers side won the Glasgow Cup last month, the penalty shoot-out hero as they emerged victorious from a derby against Celtic.

Seen as one with high potential, he had been in and around the first team squad at different stages over the past campaign.

As reported by Rangers Review, he is now being tracked by Arsenal, Everton and Ipswich Town and Rangers will face a fight to hang onto the highly-rated young shotstopper.

If he does move on, it is believed Gers could land a six-figure fee plus add-ons.

McGuire only just signed his first professional contract with the club back in January and it's thought Rangers may look to extend that to ward off the interest.

The youngster spoke after his Glasgow Cup heroics and thanked senior keepers Jack Butland and Liam Kelly for their guidance.

"Unbelievable," McGuire said. "I think it's the dream for a young Rangers fan. I just take it all in and soak it all up. I've been involved in a few matchday squads, so that just puts the icing on the cake. [It's just about] next steps, either making it at No.2 or No.3  and pushing on.

"I think they're two great goalies to work under. Jack teaches me a lot in training, obviously with the experience he's got. Kell is as well, two unbelievable goalies, so no one better to learn off of.

"It's a dream. It's the dream. It's my target to be my own self. Be the best version of me playing for the Rangers. My dream is to go and play for them at first-team level and make myself a No.1."
