Brian Laudrup tips Chelsea youngster Billy Gimour for Rangers move

Former Rangers and Chelsea man Brian Laudrup says that there is “no better place” for Billy Gilmour to get game time than Rangers. Gilmour developed his career at rangers from 2009 to 2017 and in 2017 he joined the Blues U18s squad. During this season he has made overall 8 appearances and scored one goal as he has been suffering from a knee injury. Speaking on page 16 of Tuesday’s Scottish Daily Mail sport section, Laudrup said: "The next three or four months are huge for Gilmour. “If he can get a number of games at Chelsea and show (Thomas) Tuchel he is definitely capable of playing in his team, he then becomes very interesting for Scotland ahead of the Euros. “He’s got the talent, for sure, to succeed at international level, but you have to grow first as a player and a person with your club. I read that he would have been interested in a loan before the window closed to improve his chances of making Steve Clarke’s squad. “The fact Chelsea kept him is a show of faith on their part, but if he doesn’t play much this season, then a temporary move might be best for all parties in the summer. “Would a return to Rangers be suitable then? I know Steven Gerrard denied they were looking to take Gilmour on loan last month, when he described him as ‘a fabulous little player’. "It’s all hypothetical, of course, but it’s a thought that intrigues me for the future. “Look at the Rangers midfield just now. Steven Davis does that deep-lying playmaker role extremely well but he will be another year older next season and won’t be able to play every week. I think we saw again at Hamilton how much he can be missed when he’s not in the side. “From Gilmour’s point of view, there could be Champions League group stage football on offer. That would be another incentive for his development. “Also, while some people in England might talk negatively about Scottish football at times, I don’t think you could find a better place than Rangers to get game time and play in the right style of football. “That’s crucial. People at Chelsea would know the technical type of play Gerrard demands of his team. “To me, that kind of situation would be a win-win for everyone. Whether it’s possible, I really don’t know. We’ll find out in three or four months’ time, perhaps. But just as an idea, it carries an appeal.” source - HITC
