Two days after scoring twice against Spain the Daily Record has managed to put together the perfect yarn for their army of readers.
The usual story about bringing Billy Gilmore home has been put on the back burner but a new solution has been found in the shape of Scott McTominay.
At the age of 26 with close to 200 Manchester United appearances behind him the midfielder is at his playing peak.
Unfortunately the signing of Casemiro has pushed him onto the bench at Old Trafford but McTominay remains highly valued by manager Erik ten Hag- and plenty of other clubs across the EPL.
Coming through the ranks at Old Trafford is the perfect apprenticeship but rather than take the next step up the career ladder the Record are making out the case for a move to Ibrox to work for Micky Beale’s revolution!
With that idea bouncing around tuning in to Craig Moore on Go Radio completed the gap for the digital team at the Record:
He would be amazing for Rangers. He has a physicality and a presence. He does the simple things well. He’s not a fancy player but he does the basics very well.
He’s obviously a wonderful professional because you don’t spend that length of time at Manchester United without being a fantastic professional
I don’t know what Rangers are looking at but to see someone like McTominay and it would only be a loan because that’s the only way a deal would be possible – would be great. But Man United would probably swallow a large part of that bill.
Yeah, to keep Moore and the Daily Record happy Manchester United PLC will loan a £40m asset to Ibrox for a year and pay the bulk of his wages in order to play alongside Todd Cantwell and Nico Raskin.
McTominay is under contract until June 2025, this coming summer would be the perfect time to sell him but retaining a home developed talent is likely to be a priority as ten Hag puts together a squad to challenge for the EPL.
2 caveats
MU will be looking for £30m or more as a transfer fee
McTominay is on £80k per week & is not likely to take a pay cut

Makes sense to who and for why
He could go to Villa, Newcastle, Everton or similar. Why the hell would he want to go to Rangers, seriously

And the key caveat being?
a) is he staunch enough?
b) do they have a pot to piss in?— David Ferguson (@Golftownbhoy) March 30, 2023
Total sense. 60k a week being linked with Newcastle Scores against Spain. So obviously he’ll end up at ibrox !!!!!????
