Kenny McLean clears up Rangers transfer rumours and frank chat with Norwich City boss
The Scotland midfielder was heavily linked with a move to his boyhood heroes during the summer
Kenny McLean has played down speculation linking him with Rangers over the summer.
The Scotland midfielder, 32, was heavily touted for a move to his boyhood heroes as Philippe Clement revamped his Ibrox squad. McLean has been a virtual-ever present for Norwich City over the last six years but faced an uncertain future when new boss Johannes Thorup took over the reins in May.
However, after a heart-to-heart with the Danish manager, former Aberdeen favourite McLean’s mind was quickly settled as he committed his future to the Carrow Road club. Asked about the Rangers rumours, he said: “Not too much that needed to be spoken about.
“The manager [Johannes Thorup] was just in the door for a couple of weeks and I had a conversation with him. He’d made it quite clear publicly he wanted young players, and I didn’t quite fit that bracket. But when I spoke to him he knew he needed some experience about the place, and I’ve been there a long time.
