Billy Gilmour wants Rangers transfer 'in his heart' but Brighton star handed major caveat over loan return

Pundit Andy Walker reckons Billy Gilmour 's heart would be in a return to Rangers in January - but his bank balance could lead the midfielder elsewhere.

Gilmour left the Ibrox academy for Stamford Bridge as a teenager and looked set to be the next big thing in the English top flight as he made his first-team breakthrough under Frank Lampard. However, a disappointing loan move to Norwich City didn't help kickstart his career last term during their doomed English Premier League survival bid, and things haven't got any better since his move to Brighton.

Since the arrival of Roberto De Zerbi he has barely had a look-in and has racked up just five appearances this term with his only start coming in the EFL Cup win over Arsenal. That has sparked calls from some punters over a return north of the border to kickstart Michael Beale 's overhaul of the Ibrox first-team.
