And now the Rangers Review are reporting that his exploits have brought him to the attention of three major English clubs this summer. McGuire only signed his first pro contract in January - having joined the club from Dundee United at the age of 14. He's got another year remaining on that deal which means the Ibrox side could command a decent fee for his services. Big hitters Arsenal lead the chase, but Everton - under the charge of David Moyes - are thought to be admirers. Then there's Ipswich Town, who spent last season in the Premier League and will have ambitions to get back there with their parachute payment this season. The goalkeeping position at Ibrox is one source of uncertainty at the club ahead of the Andrew Cavenagh/49ers Enterprises takeover, with Jack Butland and Liam Kelly vying for the top spot and Northern Ireland youngster Mason Munn also making a name for himself. Steven Gerrard, meanwhile, is edging closer to becoming the new Rangers manager. SunSport told you last week how the search for a new gaffer had reached the final stages with Gerrard and Russell Martin in a two-horse race for the job. But former Ibrox defender Martin, 39, is no longer in the running after agreeing a deal with ANOTHER club, according to a report. Robert Grieve & Bill Leckie have the very latest on the Rangers manager situation as Steven Gerrard & Russell Martin emerge as front-runners The Daily Mail say the axed Southampton boss is set to be appointed the new Leicester City boss. It's said Ruud van Nistelrooy will leave his role in the dugout, with a deal to appoint Martin to be concluded in the coming days. Martin's representatives was deep in discussions with the incoming San Francisco 49ers investors over the Rangers job and was set for further talks this week new sporting director Kevin Thelwell and chief executive Patrick Stewart.

Rangers and Celtic meet for the fifth and final time this season as the Old Firm foes go head-to-head at Ibrox Stadium on Sunday.

I played for Inverness & had Celtic heartbreak three days later
The 17-year-old initially signed for the Highland outfit on an emergency one-game loan last weekend. Gill completed 90 minutes and kept a clean sheet as Inverness defeated recently-crowned League One champions Arbroath by three goals to nil. Read more: He then returned to his parent club three days later and played for Celtic's B side in their Glasgow Cup final loss to Rangers. Now, not long after experiencing heartbreak at Firhill, Gill has made the move back to Inverness, albeit for one game, as they take on Montrose in their final match of the season this afternoon. "The loan players that have come in have been brilliant," said Inverness boss Scott Kellacher. "Celtic have helped us out with (head of youth) Chris McCart, (keeper coach) Colin Meldrum and (B team coach and ex-ICT winger) Jonny Hayes. As much as it's other coaches at clubs, there are also players there, who have been here, that have helped us as well, and we trust. "I can't thank these clubs enough, because they have helped us out a lot and I'm grateful for that." Inverness have secured safety and know they will play their football in Scotland's third tier going into next season. Depending on today's results, they could finish sixth, seventh, or eighth in the table.
