HIBERNIAN are in pole position to beat off competition from England and abroad to clinch a move for Rangers midfielder Ross McCrorie.
Herald and Times Sport understands the 22-year-old is one of the key targets for boss Jack Ross this summer and Hibs are keen to strike a deal.
McCrorie spent last season on loan at Portsmouth as Kenny Jackett’s side missed out on promotion to the Championship and a return to Fratton Park is one option open this term.
Steven Gerrard is keen to retain McCrorie as part of his Rangers squad but the Ibrox utility man is not short of suitors as clubs down south and on the continent monitor his situation with his boyhood heroes.
McCrorie still has two years to run on his Light Blues contract and Hibs may have to settle for a loan move if they are unable to agree terms to take him to Easter Road on a permanent basis.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
