Ally McCoist reckons Rangers-linked Ross Barkley stands at a "massive, massive crossroads" following his release from Chelsea.
The Stamford Bridge club cut their losses on the 28-year-old England international midfielder on Monday after four-and-a-half years in London. Barkley, a £15million signing from Everton in 2018, has since spent time on-loan at Aston Villa but his career has largely stuttered since leaving Goodison Park as one of the Premier League's top prospects.
It's been claimed Rangers are "looking into" a deal for Barkley as the transfer deadline looms later this week, while he was also touted as a potential target for Celtic earlier in the summer. It's believed Ibrox boss Gio van Bronckhorst does have a midfielder on his radar after interest in Standard Liege's Nicolas Raskin, who looks to be staying put. Barkley's wages could also be a deterring factor amid reports he earned a staggering £200,000-a-week package with the Blues.
