Rangers youngster Josh McPake is poised to complete a loan move from Ibrox to Greenock Morton this week.
The Light Blues kid has been on David Hopkin's radar and the Ton boss hopes to finalise the deal. Herald and Times Sport understands it could be completed this week with Gers giving the green light.
McPake, 19, has been watched by Linfield and Ayr United in recent times but it is understood his parent club want him playing at the highest level possible to give him the best chance of returning with experience under his belt in the Championship.
The attacking midfielder spent time on loan at Dundee last year, playing seven games including four times off the bench. He made his top team debut for Rangers in Europa League action against St Joseph's at the beginning of last season.
McPake is under contract at Ibrox until 2022.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
