With the limited war-chest likely to be redirected to paying for stadium improvements the Daily Record has turned to a familiar theme for the latest ‘arrival’ in this summer’s Ibrox Revolution.
Apparently Kenny McLean is a transfer target for Phil Clement with the midfielder ticking a few familiar boxes starting with being a fan of the Ibrox club.
Down the years the midfielder has regularly been linked with a dream move while repeatedly signing contracts at Aberdeen and Norwich City.
Oli McBurnie and John Fleck have been used in a similar transfer template without ever making it to Ibrox, now McLean is filling in the blanks.

McLean turned 32 in January but still managed to play in 46 Championship matches last season plus the two Play Off matches against Leeds United. He scored one goal and had five assists in those 48 matches.
Team mates Todd Cantwell and Kieran Dowell have made it to Ibrox but after signing a new deal last September McLean is under contract with Norwich until June 2026 with the club having an option to put another year on that deal.
I see Clarke the DINOSAUR has come out with similar shitey quotes as Criag Brown has done previously,apparently for some reason this tournament we did better than the last.
I don’t know if we scored one more goal or got one more corner than the other team,you decide.
Craig Brown! The worst of them all.
Blamed Scotlands population size for abject failure in tournaments.
Eh? Uruguay, Denmark, Croatia………
There are endemic, deep-rooted structural and cultural problems with football in Scotland. Brian McClair had a clear vision to simplify the structure and systematise the development pathway for young players, but it was deemed too radical for the blazers and after 17 months of banging his head against the woodwork, he left.
Since then the same old tired, intellectually stunted (Mike Mulraney, anyone?) self-perpetuating nonentities have tightened their grip and are strangling the game at youth level.
Have there been any attempts to study where Croatia get it right and we get it wrong? Has anyone looked at the processes in the States and Canada where progress through the age groups in co-ordinated and coherent?
Denmark consistently out performs Scotland at international levels – why is that?
Japan had a 100-year plan for their international team’s progress – does Scotland even have a plan?
Unless and until there is complete reorganisation of the system, the governing body and the old boys culture in Scotland we are doomed to groundhog days like Sunday long into the future.
Aye. The Ayrshire bowling club is alive and thriving at the SFA: blazers and funny handshakes de rigueur.
Hit the nail on the head paddybhoy,it’s a Scottish culture psyche, we’ve got dinosaurs running the football, smaller countries than ours have consistently done better than we have in tournaments, Scotland is just becoming an embarrassment and till the whole rotten structure is changed we will continue to be cannon fodder.
Aye Jim agree mate , and this shower of pricks have just awarded themselves pay rises , some have doubled their salaries, for what exactly, failure.
Kenny McLean!?
The mid-field superstar from Aberdeen, who managed to score about three goals in one hundred and fifty football games.
Quite a return. Not!
But I am reliably informed, he can pull his own strip on – and lace his own boots!
