Ben McPherson is being tipped to join Tobi Oluwayemi and Matthew Anderson on loan at Admira Wacker.
If those deals come off it will give the Austrian side a goalkeeper and two full-backs who are already very familiar with each others game.
There hasn’t been any official comment from either club about a partnership but transfer specialist Scott Burns of the Daily Record was first to flag up the moves for Oluwayemi and Anderson.

McPherson played for 25 minutes against Yokohama F Marinos then got the second half against Gamba Osaka although he was substituted late on wearing a head bandage after picking up a stoppage time injury.
With Alistair Johnston and Tony Ralston both missing the Japan trip through injury McPherson and Tomoki Iwata were used at right-back.
Any decision to allow McPherson to go to Admira would suggest that Brendan Rodgers feels that he has the right-back position covered with either Ralston or Johnston close to returning.
