“They haven’t gone any further yet, that doesn’t mean the deal is off the cards, it just means nothing has progressed any further.”

Gilmour contract

Rangers have agbeen linked with a move for Chelsea star Billy Gilmour this summer.

Gilmour spent last season on loan at Norwich, and the Gers have been tipped to chase a loan spell of their own.

That may well still be a possibility, but the Scot has been tied down to a new contract at Chelsea, with the Blues activating an option to keep him in place until 2024.

It will be interesting to see what Chelsea do with Gilmour from here, and whether Thomas Tuchel is planning to use him for the coming season.

Gilmour is not in his immediate plans, Rangers could get the opportunity they need.
