Daily Mail | August 30, 2021

Rangers have kicked out a second Everton bid worth £8million for right back Nathan Patterson.

But the Ibrox club could still let Borna Barisic leave after the Croatian appeared to say an emotional farewell after the 1-0 win over Celtic on Sunday.

Expected to deputise for missing skipper James Tavernier, Patterson was ordered into self isolation before yesterday's game after he was identified as a close contact of a positive case.
