Neil Lennon backs Rangers loan star to make a big impression at Dunfermline: ‘I like his size'
The Rangers goalkeeper has joined Championship club Dunfermline with the aim gaining vital first team experience. 'He's very good,' said Lennon of the 6'3'' Munn, who is under contract at Rangers until 2028. 'He's got good size and he's a good shot-stopper. He is very talented and he needs to play. 'A bit like Tobi was last season, it's a young, quality goalkeeper coming in. 'I like his size. We've worked with big goalkeepers before and sometimes they make saves other goalkeepers can't make. 'We're pleased to have him and I think he's pleased to be here – and hopefully it's a marriage of convenience for both.' Donaghadee man joined the Gers from Glentoran in 2022, making his first team debut in 5-0 win over Fraserburgh in the Scottish Cup earlier this year. He is under contract at Ibrox until 2028. The 19 year-old's father Jon Munn was a talented Amateur League goalkeeper, spending the majority of his career with Millisle outfit Abbey Villa with a brief stint in the Irish League with Ards. Munn's Rangers teammate Ross McCausland is edging towards a permanent Ibrox exit. The Northern Ireland international has been linked with several MLS clubs, with St Louis City now emerging as favourites to secure the winger's signature. Elsewhere, League One outfit Plymouth Argyle have joined Blackpool in the race to sign Nottingham Forest and Northern Ireland forward Dale Taylor. There's also more bad news for another Northern Ireland international. Cambridge United striker Shayne Lavery will miss the first month of the season with a hamstring problem. The injury may rule the ex-Linfield man out of September's World Cup Qualifiers with Luxembourg and Germany.

Rangers teen set for Championship loan as talks progress
As per Rangers Review, talks are ongoing between both clubs as they look to agree on a loan deal to allow the teen to play in the Championship for the season ahead. Munn is contracted to [[Rangers]] until 2028 and made his first team debut in a Scottish Cup win over Fraserburgh last season. Manager Russell Martin was keen to add to his goalkeeping options and was exploring the possibility of bringing in Brighton's Carl Rushworth, who he worked with before at Swansea. Pierce Charles of Sheffield Wednesday was another to be linked. However, Kieran Wright has just penned a new deal with Rangers and could spend the season as third choice behind Jack Butland and Liam Kelly. Read more: Butland had a shaky campaign last time out but started strongly with an assured display against Panathinaikos. Speaking on the goalkeeping situation during pre-season, Martin said: 'I think you need to have two good goalkeepers, ideally three at a club like this. 'I think it's the same as any position. We'll keep assessing what they can do, what they can't do. 'We have two good goalkeepers, we're fortunate with that. 'But if there's someone who's desperate to play here and we think they can help us, it's the same at any position. 'As long as it doesn't affect other things in the balance of the squad, then we'll always look to it. 'But at the minute I've been happy with the two guys (Butland and Kelly).'

The Glasgow club believe the Donaghadee teenager will benefit from the first team experience he is expected to receive at The Pars. Munn joined the Gers from Glentoran in 2022, making his first team debut in 5-0 win over Fraserburgh in the Scottish Cup earlier this year. He is under contract at Ibrox until 2028. The 19 year-old has represented Northern Ireland at U17, U19 and U21 level.

Ex-Celtic boss and Northern Ireland midfielder Neil Lennon was appointed manager of Dunfermline in March, signing a fresh two-year contract in May after helping the Pars avoid relegation to the third tier.
