Rangers' Chukwuani weighs January exit as Celtic consider Van den Berg loan
Rangers midfielder Tochi Chukwuani could seek a move in January if his minutes don't improve, Celtic may loan out Joel van den Berg, and Dundee United's Daniel Bennie is at the centre of a Scotland-Australia tug-of-war.
Rangers midfielder Tochi Chukwuani is prepared to consider leaving Ibrox in January if the 23-year-old's playing time does not improve, according to a gossip report. The suggestion places pressure on the midfielder's current situation at the club as the winter window approaches.
At Celtic, the club will consider sending midfielder Joel van den Berg out on loan in January. The 19-year-old joined from PSV Eindhoven in the summer and has yet to make his debut, making a temporary move a possible route to first-team football.
Rangers have also been advised not to worry about Connor Barron's difficult loan spell at Middlesbrough. Boro manager Kim Hellberg described the midfielder as "exceptional" and insisted his opportunity will come, offering a contrasting view to any concern over the loan.
Dundee United winger Daniel Bennie, who is on loan from Queens Park Rangers, is reportedly at the centre of an international contest between Scotland and Australia. The Hong Kong-born player's eligibility has drawn attention from both associations.
In other gossip, former Liverpool and Newcastle United striker Andy Carroll has said he agreed to play for Scotland as a teenager but withdrew at the last moment. Separately, Dundee followed Saturday's 2-2 draw with Rangers by beating the Ibrox side 2-1 in a second-string bounce game at the Auchenhowie training ground in Glasgow.
