There aren’t many transfer rumours that come out of Auchenhowie or Ibrox these days thanks to Ross Wilson sealing the leaks that would regularly drip feed names to the Scottish press.

One name that popped up last year was Motherwell’s Allan Campbell with the Scotland youth cap being a preferred option of Vital Rangers given his status as a free agent in the summer and the potential for him to be developed in a similar way to that of Ryan Jack.

This is a view supported by current Motherwell assistant manager, Chris Lucketti, who knows all too well what it takes to play at the highest level having played in the Premier League with Southampton, going as far as to back the 22-year old to make the step up sooner, rather than later, as reported by The Daily Record:

“I’d imagine pretty much most of the clubs from down the road at Championship level will be watching Allan – and I even think higher up if I’m honest from seeing him train and play.

“I mean English Premier League level as well because he’s a young boy with the attributes to play at that level. He’s got technical ability to perform at that level, the physical attributes and the right mentality.

“He’s so focused and wants to maximise and be the best he can possibly be. And if you’ve got great body language and a mentality to be the best you can be every single day then you’ve got a right chance to get to the top at any level.

“Allan fits that bill because of his dedication and time and effort he puts in to produce what he does on a daily basis so there’s no reason he can’t play in the Premier League.”

Campbell, like Jack, has a solid foundation on which a good coaching staff would be able to work on, the fact that he will be out of contract makes him an attractive proposition, because if it doesn’t work out, Rangers would still be able to turn a profit on the deal.

We should always have a bled of players in the squad, experienced finished articles alongside younger ones that can be developed and Campbell certain falls into the latter category, he’s worth the punt, after all, remember Celtic losing out on John McGinn for the sake of a few hundred thousand pounds?
