Lyndon Dykes has spurned the overtures from Ibrox to sign a new deal with Queens Park Rangers.

The former Livingston striker had been heavily linked with a move to Ibrox, no less an expert than Barry Ferguson described the move as a no-brainer

Dykes worked with Micky Beale last season at QPR but has opted to stay with the struggling Championship side rather than make a return to Scotland where he starred for Livingston.

With pre-season training starting this week Beale has signed three free agents as well as shelling out £3.5m to bring in Sam Lammers from Atalanta.

Ryan Kent, Alfredo Morelos, Malkik Tillman, Scott Arfield and Allan McGregor have all left the club but it seems to be the lack of sales that has brought recruitment to a halt.

Borna Barisic, Kemar Roofe and John Lundstram are entering the final year of their contracts but it seems that there is no stampede to sign them after Joe Aribo and Calvin Bassey flopped at Southampton and Ajax.

When a six year stretch at the Sunday Mirror came to an end it was clear that the future was digital, print had ran its race.
Smart phones and social media created a new landscape, Video Celts has certainly made an impact with Joe described as having an unhealthy obsession by Peter Lawwell at the 2024 Celtic AGM. A priceless endorsement, cheers big man.
There are issues breaking around the clock, no two days are the same more than 50 years on from his first match Joe is enjoying every success for Scotland's Most Successful Club.

    Oh dear they are all giddy with excitement over on FF about this World Club Tournament in a couple of years time that they have themselves being involved in.
    So the klan fan base think they are guaranteed £50 million just for appearing there,now they are demanding that it be spent on upgrading the stadium for that promise of a164,000 capacity stadium.
    Lol there are allsorts of hurdles that they need to jump this season in Europe for this FAKE NEWS story to see the light of day,with just one of the many targets they need is massive and positive results in Europe,and look how that turned out last season.

    Any huns lurking, I have some magic beans for sale.

    Hope Dykes used the – alleged – Ibrox interest to secure an even better QPR deal.

    He might go to Ibrox – when he is 35 and on a free.

    If I was a bear, I’d be extremely underwhelmed with the signings so far,

    and rather concerned for the new season.

    As a Tim, I’m even more excited about next season with BR at the helm.

    Another few, quality signings should help the squad improve on last season?
