Reports this morning have suggested that Billy Gilmour will not be joining Rangers on loan this summer.
It is understood that the Chelsea midfielder will be free to leave Stamford Bridge on loan this transfer window in a bid to find some much needed first team game time.
Rangers had been linked with the Scotland youngster, while Norwich City had also been credited with an interest.
However, The Scottish Sun report today that Gilmour will not be joining Rangers because Chelsea are keen to keep him in the English Premier League.
It is understood that the London club hope to have the Scottish midfielder's future sorted out over the next two weeks.
Meanwhile, Gilmour says he was "gutted" to miss out on Scotland's final Euro 2020 game against Croatia - but the Chelsea midfielder admits he was proud to pull on the navy blue.
Gilmour made his full Scotland debut against England at Wembley and starred as Steve Clarke's side picked up a well earned point.
Ahead of the final group stage fixture Gilmour tested positive for coronavirus and unfortunately missed out as Scotland were sent crashing out the tournament against Croatia at Hampden.
Writing on Instagram, Gilmour said: "Unbelievable experience to play in my first major international tournament over the past couple of weeks.
"On a personal note, gutted to miss out on our final game due to Covid - thank you for all your messages.
"We hope this is the first of many major international tournaments over the coming years…. you all deserve it and we hope to make you proud in the future. Thank you Scotland."
