Dele Alli sparks Celtic and Rangers transfer debate as Ally McCoist finds himself outnumbered over Everton star

Ally McCoist insists he'd take Dele Alli at Rangers "all day" - but concedes a move to Ibrox or Celtic for the out-of-sorts Everton star wouldn't be for everyone.

Alli has suffered a baffling career drop-off since bursting onto the scene for Tottenham and then starring for England in the 2018 World Cup. The 26-year-old completed a permanent move to Goodison Park back in January in a bid to rediscover his best form but he's been a peripheral figure on Merseyside. Reports in recent days have indicated Turkish side Besiktas are interested in offering him a way out, while there's also been speculation he could move to MLS. McCoist, however, reckons he should still have more to offer.

The prospect of a move to one of Glasgow's big two was put to the Rangers legend and he reckons it'd be an option worth exploring for both clubs. He told talkSPORT: "I'd take him all day. He's completely lost his way and it's not easy - you look at the players who have come to Rangers beforehand, and I'm not saying they've struggled, but they haven't been as much of a success as a lot of people have thought.
