Rangers have been given huge encouragement in their bid to make Morgan Whittaker a January signing after he was left out of Swansea’s squad for their clash at Queen’s Park Rangers.
There were fears that a Rangers swoop for the talented winger would be scuppered because, having been on loan at Plymouth, if he turned out for The Swans he could not move to Ibrox this season as players are only allowed to feature for two teams in a season.
And that is now out of the equation because the Welsh team don’t play again until AFTER the transfer window shuts. Rangers, who have had two bids rejected, are now expected to go back in.
