Rangers midfielder wanted by trio of English clubs

Rangers winger Josh McPake is attracting interest from a trio of clubs down south.

English lower league clubs Stockport County, Crewe Alexandra and Crawley Town are belived to be chasing the Coatbridge winger for a loan deal from Ibrox next season.

It had been reported earlier this month that the 20-year-old could have his contract at Ibrox ripped up after some underwhelming loan spells at Morecambe and Tranmere Rovers in English League One this season.

But The Sunday Mail report it is 'likely he'll be sent out on loan again" next season by boss Gio van Bronckhorst.

McPake has so far made just one first-team appearance for Rangers, coming in 2019 during a Europa League qualifier against St Joseph's at Ibrox.

Loan spells at Dundee, Morton and Harrogate Town followed before Morecambe and Tranmere.

McPake returned to Rangers when his loan deal expired earlier this month with Tranmere boss Micky Mellon only interested in a permanent deal for the youngster.

And that has now opened the door for League One Crewe and League Two duo Crawley and Stockport to swoop for his services ahead of the 2022/23 campaign.
