da esport bet： Norwich City midfielder Kenny McLean confirms that Glasgow Rangers were interested in his services when he was at Aberdeen, but that nothing concrete came of it.
da pinup bet： The £3.15m-valued 28-year-old – as per Transfermarkt – was an important part of the Dons’ squad during his time at the club, making 152 appearances in all competitions. In 2018, he made the move to the Canaries for £203,000, and has since gone on to feature 54 times, including on 28 occasions in the Premier League this season alone.
Speaking to Open Goal, he discusses the previous interest from the Gers, saying:
“It could have been. There was talk a couple of times about Rangers, but nothing ever came of it. Nothing was ever in front of me, even when I was out of contract at Aberdeen, I had six months left on my deal and there were talks but nothing too big to be honest with you, nothing for me to get excited about, because there was nothing ever in front of me.
“I don’t know if it was Graeme Murty in charge at the time when I was leaving Aberdeen, but they didn’t look to have any stability at the club. Obviously, since Gerrard has come in, it seems to have changed a little.”
Given that the 10-time Scotland international has now been able to put together a solid career in England, it seems that the Gers missed out on a player that could have been useful to them. Whilst not the most prolific scorer at Pittodrie, he still managed 25 goals, which equates to between five and 10 strikes each campaign.
When he made the move to Carrow Road, he was effectively a free agent, as well – Norwich paid the aforementioned fee to sign immediately in January, but they could have waited six months and not paid a penny. It is perhaps a deal the Gers should have looked into more.
