# Glasgow Rangers: Ex-‘Gers man Worrall set for Premier League move

**According to the [Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8639473/Burnley-closer-signing-12m-rated-Baptiste-Santamaria-holding-talks.html), Burnley have offered £4m plus Ben Gibson for former Glasgow Rangers defender Joe Worrall.**

Worrall, who currently plays for Nottingham Forest, spent the 2018/19 campaign [on loan at Ibrox](https://www.nottinghamforest.co.uk/news/2018/august/worrall-makes-rangers-loan-move/).

He has clearly impressed at the City Ground, with Premier League side Burnley willing to offer cash plus Gibson, on whom they spent [£15m](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/45076206) in 2018.

Worrall was a divisive player at Ibrox – at times, he was [praised](https://tbrfootball.com/brilliant-rangers-fans-praise-defender-joe-worrall/) for his displays, whilst at others he was widely [criticised](https://www.footballfancast.com/scottish-premier/rangers/2004-today-rangers-fans-slam-disgrace-worrall-after-latest-mistake). One particular error, against Kilmarnock away from home, is somewhat of a defining image of the Light Blues’ failed title challenge that term.

Since then, however, his stock has clearly risen – so much so that he played [every single game](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/joe-worrall/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/415970) in the Championship for Forest in 2019/20. With a [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/joe-worrall/marktwertverlauf/spieler/415970) value of £4.95m, the 23-year-old has now become a much sought-after player, and to replace someone who cost as much as Gibson would be a huge step.

It just goes to show that Scottish football may not be quite as poor as many seem to think.
