Barcelona have joined the interest in Rangers midfielder Barry Gilmour.

The Daily Record says Barça's top scouts have been to Scotland on several occasions to run their eye over the 15-year-old. Bayern Munich, Arsenal and Manchester United are also following the teenager's progress.

“Barcelona came to watch just Billy in the game against France and see him as a player in the Xavi or Iniesta mould in terms of his size and technical ability," a source told the Scottish paper.

“It's going to be very difficult for Rangers to hold onto him beyond the end of the season, when he turns 16. The top sides from abroad can offer money beyond the reach of Rangers and Celtic."
