Rangers could now be parting ways with yet another rising star, as Ashton Scally appears to be on his way out of Ibrox.
Chris Condy appears set to join Brighton, having turned down the opportunity to continue playing football in Glasgow.
Scally, 15, could follow him out of the door at Ibrox, as there is genuine interest in his services south of the border.

According to Rangers Review, the left-back, who turns 16 in April, is mooted to end up in England as well.
Manchester City are keen on securing his services and could look to snap him up in the coming months ahead of the 2026/27 season.
The Citizens are known for their world-class academy and first-class youth recruitment, with them earmarking Scally as one for the future.
Chelsea and Liverpool have also been previously linked with the young Scotsman, but Manchester City appear to be the frontrunners, as things stand.
Despite being only 15, Scally has already trained with the Rangers first team and is one of the rising stars at Auchenhowie.

It will undoubtedly be a challenge for Rangers to convince the teenager to stay and snub interest from the English clubs.
The three aforementioned teams have pumped in millions to make their academy world-class in recent years, and they will certainly be able to offer Scally much better facilities.
However, his chances of getting senior football there are far lower than those at the Light Blues, and that could be a determining factor for him.

Rangers will also want to retain the left-back’s services as he has come through the ranks and performed consistently at every age group.
The fact that he has already trained with the seniors reflects how highly he is rated by the coaching staff, which is unlikely to happen at 15 at Premier League clubs.
Scally, who has played for Scotland’s Under-15s and Under-16s, is known to be a physical defender who is equally good at the offensive side of his game as he is at the defensive side.
This certainly will have impressed Danny Rohl and the other coaches, and it remains to be seen if they can convince him to stay.
