Middlesbrough boss Southgate tells Rangers to forget Johnson deal

Middlesbrough boss Gareth Southgate has told Rangers to forget about trying to sign his young winger Adam Johnson.

"Rangers have been in for Adam but I have no interest in letting him go to Scotland," said Southgate.

"Adam can only move during the window and that does not work for us, so he won't be going there. We've had enquiries from 12 Championship clubs for him as well and he might go to one of them.

"He needs to be playing football, it's understandable he's frustrated but he has to embrace the challenge. He is a rare talent."
