Tommy Conway Celtic and Rangers transfer battle is ON as both rivals plot £300k swoops under one condition

Rangers and Celtic will both make offers for Scotland Euro 2024 star Tommy Conway - if he runs down the final 12 months of his Bristol City contract.

The 21-year-old, who is currently with Steve Clarke’s national team preparing for Friday’s opener against Germany, is going into the final year at Ashton Gate and talks over an extension have failed to come to fruition. Rangers and Celtic can sign Conway on a pre-contract in the new year and the English Championship would lose him for cross-border compensation for as little as £300,000. Both Glasgow giants are aware of the player’s situation and are both monitoring the situation very closely.

A move to Scotland would be City’s worst nightmare because if they were to sell him in England they would be able to demand a significant seven figure fee. It would to challenge for silverware and to play in Europe is also something that the Scotland new boy, who made his international debut against Finland on Friday, would consider.

Bristol’s best hope is that Conway does well at the Euros and they may be able to cash this summer rather than let his contract run down. Conway is represented by the Unique Sports Group, who have shown in the past that the cross border switch is one that can benefit their clients.

The same group moved current Fulham star Calvin Bassey to Rangers from Leicester in a knockdown deal in 2020 and then sold him to Ajax for more than £20 million. Rangers have also infuriated the likes of Charlton Athletic when they signed Joe Aribo in a similar cross border deal. They also signed young striker Zak Lovelace from Millwall after his contract expired.
