Rangers great Ally McCoist can't see Chelsea releasing Billy Gilmour for loan.

McCoist reckons his old club will miss out on a reported move for the young midfielder.

He said on talkSPORT: “[Gilmour] would fit in [at Ibrox] perfectly because he is a very good footballer himself.

“It's whether Frank and himself would sit down and say, 'Go up to Rangers, get some game-time'. I'm not sure it'll happen because I think he'll get game-time with Chelsea.

“Looking at last night's performance, and clearly he's a lad that works hard, trains hard and wants to soak in all the information that''s coming his way.

“I'd be surprised if he doesn't get more game-time at Chelsea."
