Rangers starlet to depart?

Jordan Houston is set to depart Rangers and sign with Ayr United permanently, according to speculation.

The 20-year-old is currently on loan at Somerset Park, making 17 appearances for the side this season. He has also featured twice for Rangers Colts in the Tunnock's Caramel Wafer Challenge Cup.

It is claimed by Rangers podcast Four Lads Had a Dream podcast that the right-back will sign a deal which will give the Ibrox side an option to bring him back.

Barisic's new deal

The Croatian has been one of the Ibrox side's key players since securing his place as the first-choice left-back.

Barisic's future had been in doubt last season and earlier in the campaign, but since netting a crucial free-kick winner against St Mirren at the end of August he has hardly looked back.

His form has been such that he has been linked with moves to Serie A giants Napoli and AS Roma.

The latter were reported to have been looking to do a loan deal with option to buy this month but dropped their interest with Rangers valuing the 27-year-old at £10million according to reports.

Steven Gerrard said: “We are in talks, so it is getting closer as the days go by. I am confident because the boy is happy.

“I have a fantastic relationship with Borna and he seems really settled here.

“He took a bit of time to settle but he has got the fans right where you want them. He is getting the support from the terraces his performances deserve. When you are happy as a footballer you should stay put.”

Wanyama to Celtic unlikely

The recruit of Ismaila Soro from Israeli side Bnei Yehuda will all but end any interest Celtic have in Victor Wanyama.

The Parkhead side are waiting on a work permit to be confirmed before completing the £2million signing of the Ivorian midfielder.

Former Celt ace Wanyama was wanted in the summer, but according to reports in Turkey he is set to complete a move to Galatasaray.

Striker to exit Hibs

Oli Shaw is set to leave Hibs for Ross County.

According to the Scottish Sun, a fee has been agreed for the 21-year-old who has barely featured under Paul Heckingbottom and Jack Ross.
