Midfielder ready to consider Ibrox exit – gossip

Rangers midfielder Tochi Chukwuani is reportedly ready to weigh up an exit from Ibrox in the January transfer window if his playing opportunities do not improve. Across Glasgow, Celtic are reportedly open to allowing 19-year-old midfielder Joel van den Berg leave on loan during January after failing to make an appearance since arriving from PSV Eindhoven. Meanwhile, Middlesbrough manager Kim Hellberg has urged Rangers not to panic over midfielder Connor Barron's limited loan minutes.

In international news, Scotland and Australia are competing to secure Dundee United's Queens Park Rangers loanee Daniel Bennie. Former England striker Andy Carroll revealed he once agreed to play for Scotland as a teenager before withdrawing. Additionally, Dundee followed their weekend 2-2 draw with Rangers by beating an Ibrox second-string side 2-1 in a training ground bounce match at Auchenhowie.
