Kieran Dowell ‘in talks’ over Rangers reunion but ‘work to do’ as Gers eye £830k saving
Kieran Dowell hasn’t exactly set the heather alight in a year and a half at Rangers.
The former Norwich City midfielder, 27, moved north in the summer of 2023 as Michael Beale set about reshaping the Rangers squad.
But over the course of the last 18 months, Dowell has always been unable to breakthrough from the fringes of the Rangers team and has found himself a target for frustrated supporters.
Having now been told he can leave Ibrox, Kieran Dowell is in discussions over a move to Birmingham City but there is still ‘work to do’ on the transfer this week.

Rangers thought they had offloaded Rabbi Matondo to Coventry City last week only for the transfer to break down over performance related bonuses.

The Gers are determined to cut the club’s inflated wage bill and would welcome the opportunity to shift Dowell’s not inconsiderable salary.
Birmingham are managed by English coach Chris Davies, who was Brendan Rodgers’ assistant during the Parkhead manager’s first stint at Celtic.
The Blues are also backed by an ambitious billionaire US consortium which includes support from NFL legend Tom Brady.
