Rangers are confident Ashton Scally will sign a first professional contract at Ibrox.<\/p>\n
The talented left-back has been linked with a host of English Premier League clubs, including Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea.<\/p>\n
The Light Blues are aware of the interest but have tabled a strong three-year deal of their own.<\/p>\n
Danny Rohl and major Ibrox figures have also made it clear there is a genuine first-team pathway for Scally should he continue to develop the way he has.<\/p>\n
Sources have confirmed the Rangers contract could be finalised imminently for the 15-year-old who turns 16 later this month.<\/p>\n
The Scotland youth cap \u2013 who is the son of Clyde coach Neil Scally \u2013 is eligible to sign professional forms when he turns 16 later this month.<\/p>\n
Scally has already been up to train with Rohl\u2019s first-team and is highly thought of.<\/p>\n
Rohl wanted to put Scally and Kyle Glasgow into his squad for their Scottish Cup clash with Annan, but were denied by red -tape because they were still only 15 at the time.<\/p>\n
Glasgow signed his first professional contract with Rangers earlier this year.<\/p>\n
It has been a fight for the Light Blues to keep many of their rising academy stars.<\/p>\n
They recently lost Chris Condy to Brighton and Hove Albion and last year Newcastle United managed to convince Alfie Hutchison and Oliver Goodbrand to quit Ibrox for the North East.<\/p>\n
The recent success of Findlay Curtis, who is on loan at Kilmarnock, in breaking into the Rangers team and getting his first Scotland cap against Japan at the weekend is further proof of the homegrown talent the club is producing.<\/p>\n
Scotland under-19 cap Alexander Smith, who is on-loan at Dumbarton, has admitted Curtis’s success has been an inspiration to every young player at Ibrox.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
