da betsson： As reported by STV, Oli McBurnie has opened up on his desire for Steven Gerrard to be a success at Rangers and has refused to rule out a move from Swansea City to the Ibrox side.
What’s the story?
da bwin： It’s no secret that the Scotland international is a Rangers supporter, with seemingly every interview given on duty with the national team recently ending up with passionate words spoken about the Light Blues.
The striker’s latest comments should give Rangers supporters hope that a deal can be done with Swansea for his transfer, after he admitted that he could end up anywhere next season.
As quoted by STV, the 22-year-old said of Gerrard’s Rangers project:
He is a legend in the game with what he has done for Liverpool and he has had a great career. As a Rangers fan I hope he goes there and he turns it around and does fantastically well.
Whether that has anything to do with me or not, who knows? But as a Rangers fan I would love to see him go there and do unbelievably well.
Me and my brother grew up as massive Rangers fans. I don’t think we had any choice. But I am still contracted to Swansea, I have another year left and I need to get back and see what is happening.
I will speak to Swansea when I come back from this trip, see what they want to do and what we want to do and take it from there.
McBurnie was speaking during Scotland’s recent tour to Peru and Mexico and while the forward failed to hit the back of the net for his country, he has the potential to be a big hit at Ibrox.

Can he be a success at Rangers?
It’s not too often you see players speak so openly about their love for Rangers in the press and McBurnie has made it very clear over the past 12 months that he would love a move to Glasgow if a deal can be arranged that suits all parties.
Scoring nine goals for Championship side Barnsley in the second half of last season, he’s demonstrated he’s ready for more regularly for first-team football, which he hasn’t had at Swansea so far. He has however won a reputation for banging in a huge amount of goals for their U23s side.
It’s clear he has talent and while the Welsh side may fancy keeping him around for their Championship efforts next season, Rangers should try their hardest to make a move for the forward. A player with his potential and passion should be at Ibrox under Steven Gerrard, where he can make himself a hero for the club he loves.
