Rangers starlet Stephen Kelly wanted on loan by several clubs in January
Rangers youngster Stephen Kelly is being monitored by several clubs, all eyeing a loan deal for the midfielder.
Dundee United, Kilmarnock and Tranmere Rovers are all interested in the 21-year-old according to SunSport.
Kelly has enjoyed successful loan spells at Ross County and Ayr United and could be on his way to another after not featuring at all under Gers new boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst since he arrived.
Experience
Kelly is never going to get his breakthrough at Rangers by just sitting on the bench and watching from the sidelines – he needs to go out and get more crucial first-team experience.
You could argue that if he stays and tries to impress the boss in training that could fast track him into some playing time but that hasn’t worked yet under the Dutchman’s tenure.
Kelly needs to be playing consistent first-team football and try and develop as much as he can when out on loan so he can come back and show his worth with the Bears.
A player his age who isn’t quite hitting his stride could easily go under the radar at Ibrox which could be damaging to his career.
The Scotland under-21 starlet has shown great potential already in his career, but this is the time he must make the transition from a promising youngster into a more experienced player if he has any hope of a bright future with Rangers.
