Tyrhys Dolan told to give 'serious thought' to Rangers transfer as Cyriel Dessers makes feelings clear on one accolade
It is your latest update concerning all things Rangers all in one place
Tyrhys Dolan has been told if Rangers or Celtic come calling you MUST take it seriously.
The Blackburn Rovers winger has been linked with a move north of the border with his contract expiring this summer.
In the English Championship he proved seven goals and six assists across 44 games and is one that Sky pundit David Prutton believes always lookins capable of making something happen - a trait both set of supporters love to see.
Speaking to Football League World, he said: "He's a good player Tyrhys, always lively, always looks like he's capable of making something happen.
"The expectation of him when he went to Blackburn was not directly related to what his output then became, because I think they thought he was a bit of a slow burner and one for the future, but he very much got stuck in and was a big part of a squad that was very competitive in the last few Championship seasons.
"I think the frustration with them comes with falling away as and when it mattered i.e. very early spring which meant that at times, barring the final day just now, at times by the time it came to the last knockings they were just firmly and constantly in mid table.
"So I think yeah on a free, or compensation given the age of the player potentially, but Christ when one of those two [Celtic and Rangers] come knocking you've got to give it some serious thought."
Elsewhere, Cyriel Dessers has taken to social media after finishing the season as the top scorer in the Premiership.
The Rangers hitman has notched 29 goals across all competitions with 18 of those coming in the league.
He hit the 50 goal milestone in the recent win over Dundee United and while it has been a frustrating domestic campaign for the LIght Blues as a whole, there is some personal pride for Dessers as he ends the season topping the scoring charts.
He wrote on Instagram: "Scottish Premiership Top Scorer 2024-25. Not the big trophy we all wanted, but a wee reward for never giving up…"
Meanwhile, Rangers pair John Souttar and Connor Barron have been picked for Scotland.
Steve Clarke has called up the duo for the June friendlies against Iceland and Liechtenstein.
Nathan Patterson - now at Everton and formerly of Rangers - is also back in the fold as is Napoli star Billy Gilmour.

Transfer news LIVE: Man City COMPLETE £34m Cherki deal just as window slams SHUT, Chelsea's new Gittens bid REJECTED
Canary off Norwich City winger Borja Sainz could be heading to Porto. The Championship club has turned down bids from both the Portuguese club and Napoli but are holding out for a deal of about £17m. Porto are in the Club World Cup and they had been hoping to secure a deal before today's transfer deadline so Sainz could play in the United States but that transfer now looks unlikely to happen immediately. Even so, despite Napoli's offer, Porto are still favourites to sign a player who scored 19 goals for Norwich last season although 16 came in the first half of the season. Bilbao have also been interested in Sainz, 24, as he comes from the Basque region so qualifies under their strict rules of eligibility. Sainz arrived from Turkish club Giresunspor on a free transfer in 2023 and has just one year left on his contract so he will definitely leave Carrow Road. In January, Sainz was suspended for six matches after admitting to spitting at Sunderland's Chris Mepham. At the time, he was the Championship's leading scorer and was also fined £12,000 by the Football Association for the incident which took place in Norwich's 2-1 defeat at the Stadium of Light in December. Norwich striker Josh Sargent also looks set to leave although the club have had no bids. Leeds are interested with manager Daniel Farke having managed Sargent when he was Canaries manager.

A former Hearts defender has secured a move to a Premiership rival just weeks after helping Livingston secure promotion back into the top flight. Jamie Brandon joined the Hearts academy in 2017 and went on to make 30 senior appearances after making his debut in a 2-0 defeat against Celtic. However, Brandon went on to spend the second half of the 2021/22 season on loan at Championship club Greenock Morton before penning a pre-contract agreement to join Livingston on a free transfer during the following summer. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad After racking up almost a century of appearances, what will now go down as Brandon's final season with Livi appeared to have ended in disappointment as they lost out to Falkirk in the race for the Championship title. However, a 5-3 aggregate win against Ross County in the Premiership play-off ensured Brandon and his team-mates had guided the club back into the top flight at the first attempt after they suffered relegation 12 months earlier. Former Hearts star linked to Kilmarnock move Speaking after a 4-2 win in the second leg at County's Global Energy Stadium secured promotion, the former Livingston captain said: 'It's been a special night and i'm ecstatic we've been able to get our club back to where we think it belongs. It's been a long season, we've played a lot of games and I think it's been excellent to come here and to put the performance in we have, it's been really special. The aim at the start of the season was to get promotion back to the Premiership, it didn't matter how we did that but to do it through the play-offs is a really special feeling and one everyone here will cherish for a long time.' However, Brandon will not make the jump with his side after Livi confirmed the versatile defender has 'decided to move on' after his contract came to an end. A post on X read: 'Jamie Brandon will depart the club on the expiry of his contract. We're obviously disappointed that Jamie has decided to move on. Jamie was instrumental last season and played a big part in our Trust Trophy & league success & leaves after huge success. Good luck, Brando!'

That deal has now been completed, Brandon penning a two year deal. Kettlewell said: 'We're delighted to sign Jamie, there have been a lot of clubs competing for his signature, so to get this over the line, we are extremely pleased. He's been a standout performer for Livingston, and he adds to the leadership qualities that we already have in abundance here. He's exactly the type of character we want at this football club, he understands the demands of Scottish football. 'Jamie fits in with the profile of players that we already have here, his addition will complement our squad. We want to build a squad with strong foundations and a real hunger to push forward. Jamie ticks all the boxes in that regard, and I'm delighted he's chosen to continue his career here at Kilmarnock.'
