Rangers ‘reject’ on the up /New Celt Morgan says Ibrox snub was a blessing

Celtic new boy Lewis Morgan says his rejection by Rangers was the making of his career. The 21-year-old winger sealed a £300,000 move from St Mirren yesterday but will spend the rest of the season back on loan at the Championship leaders.

The Scotland under-21 international spent seven years in the Rangers setup but was scathing about how it ended at the age of 16. He said: “It was a relief when I left because the last two years were pretty much pointless. The head of youth at the time put me back a year so I was playing with the younger age groups. Even at that, I was probably only playing ten minutes here or there.

“Going to a club like St Mirren was great for me. It gave me that chance to kick on again. I probably lost a couple of years at that club so I can’t wait to get started at this one.”
