According to The Scottish Sun, Newcastle United have pipped Scottish Premiership giants Celtic and Rangers to the signature of Queen’s Park midfielder Reagan Thomson, and the youngster is set to put pen to paper on a two-and-a-half year deal in the coming days.
The 16-year-old midfielder will link up with the Magpies’ under-23s despite already making nine first-team appearances for the Scottish League Two outfit this term.
Steven Gerrard’s side were keen on Thomson after he caught their eyes, but they weren’t able to match Newcastle’s £35,000 initial offer, while Celtic’s late bid came to nothing.
