Rangers to Sell Rothwell to Sheffield United

Glasgow Rangers are poised to offload midfielder Joe Rothwell to Sheffield United in the January transfer window, as the club seeks to reshape its squad under manager Danny Rohl amid a challenging season in the Scottish Premiership.

The 30-year-old Englishman, who joined Rangers on a free transfer from Bournemouth in the summer, has struggled to make an impact since arriving. Rothwell featured sparingly under previous boss Russell Martin, who was dismissed in October after overseeing just one domestic victory in his 123 days in charge. Rohl, appointed later that month, has kept Rothwell on the periphery of the first team, limiting him to just 18 minutes of action since late October, including extra time in a Scottish League Cup semifinal. He has not been named in the matchday squad for the last three Europa League fixtures or four of the past five Premiership games.

Sheffield United, currently battling relegation in the English Championship, are confident of securing Rothwell's signature. The midfielder brings extensive experience from the second tier, where he won the title with Blackburn Rovers in 2017-18 and helped Southampton secure promotion via the playoffs last season....
