THE Ibrox side had a £75,000 bid rejected by the Lions last season but it now looks like the 16-year-old will head to the English Championship after a host of teams showed interested in the young talent.
RANGERS target Matthew Knox is set for a switch to the English Championship with several clubs preparing moves for the Livingston starlet with one concrete offer expected later today.
The Ibrox side had a £75,000 bid rejected by the Lions last season after the 16-year-old impressed during a trial with Rangers but the West Lothian side value their prize asset at least double that amount.
Knox burst onto the scene last term after making his debut just four days after his 16th birthday before impressing during seven appearances for David Hopkin’s side and the youngster has already had training stints with Manchester United , Liverpool, Spurs, Everton and Nottingham Forest.
Rangers are expected to increase their offer for the youngster but a bid of £200,000 which includes incentives and add-ons will be enough to prise the player south.
Knox was unfazed during his trial spell with Rangers last season.
He said: "“I try not to pinch myself and think about where I am, I try and just get on with things and take it in my stride.
“So much has happened for me over the last few months, I’ve been training with some of the biggest clubs in the world and it’s been brilliant to see what these clubs are really like.
“I’m being honest when I say that it doesn’t really bother me.
