Greg is Taylor made for switch to Hoops

-

under-21 internatio­nal Miller caused delays after the two clubs agreed a deal in principle for the left-back. One player who will be straight into the squad for today’s game is Elyounouss­i, who last night insisted he’s ready for a baptism of fire against Rangers. And he’s out to prove he’s still worth the £16m Southampto­n paid for him last summer. The 25-year-old winger penned a season-long loan deal on Friday and despite only starting one EPL game in 2019, he believes he can have an instant impact on the pressure-packed trip to Ibrox. The Norwegian said: “It’s the manager’s decision whether I play or not and obviously I haven’t played for a long time but I feel okay and have been training hard. “I would like to play, of course. I have come here to make an impact and help the team to win games. So if he needs me, I am ready. Obviously it is a big game so either way it’s something I’m really looking forward to, whether I am watching or taking part. “I have played derbies before but I don’t think there is anything like this in Europe.” Elyounouss­i only managed 10 starts in 19 appearance­s as he struggled to hold down a place in the Saints team last season. But the 22-cap attacker said: “I spoke to the manager and he said I still have the quality. “But sometimes when you don’t play for a long time it messes with your head and confidence. “I’ll b e t r yin g to get tha t b ack a nd help this team while I’m doing it.” Meanwhile, defender Anthony Ralston is heading out of Celtic after sealing a season-long loan switch to St Johnstone.
