To me, there&#8217;s only one winner in this case if it is in fact a Scottish loan. Although I think maybe the Championship might be better for him if he were to go anywhere.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;But if it was to be Scotland, then Rangers would be the best option. I think it would be excellent for all parties. But for Dowman, I think that at his age, it&#8217;s a long way to go to Glasgow, and you&#8217;re in a big inferno in Glasgow.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;I know Moore managed it, but I think some of his family were up there as well at the same time. So it&#8217;s a difficult one, but a lot of factors to consider.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;But on the football side, I think Rangers are the clear winners.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 16-year-old attacking midfielder has been linked with both halves of the Old Firm amid the possibility of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":804797,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-804796","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/804796","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=804796"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/804796\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/804797"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=804796"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=804796"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=804796"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
