Swansea's Stewart limited by homegrown rule; Rangers plan for Cameron

Ross Stewart's lack of game time at Swansea is due to EFL homegrown rules excluding Scots, while Rangers intend to integrate Lyall Cameron after his Dundee United loan.

BETAIGO EditorialUpdated:

Ross Stewart's limited appearances for Swansea City have been attributed to manager Vitor Matos being unaware of the English Football League's homegrown player rules, which exclude Scots, according to The Scotsman. The 30-year-old Scotland striker has consequently been left in limbo at the Championship club.

In other news, Rangers are planning for Lyall Cameron to be part of Derek McInnes' squad once his season-long loan at Dundee United ends, Football Insider reports. The 24-year-old midfielder will return to Ibrox after his spell with the Tannadice club.

Belgium midfielder Nicolas Raskin will not seek a move away from Rangers in the January window, despite interest from clubs across Europe, as he has too much respect for the Glasgow side, according to Football Insider. The 25-year-old's commitment contrasts with the uncertainty surrounding Stewart's situation.

Aberdeen defender Mats Knoester will be sidelined for four to six weeks with a thigh injury, but a scan has cleared midfielder Connor Ronan to face Rangers in Saturday's Premier Sports Cup semi-final, the Press & Journal reports. St Johnstone manager Simo Valakari is hopeful Sam Stanton can recover in time for next weekend's meeting with Dundee, The Courier says.

Off the pitch, the Scottish FA has warned the SPFL over reports it has opened the way for broadcasters to bid for 3pm Saturday kick-offs, The Scotsman reports. Meanwhile, Stirling Albion are the subject of a £1m takeover bid from a consortium led by Canadian investor Eric Perez, according to The National.
