Hutton to Spurs?

January 3rd, 2008 | By: Ian Rose | No Comments »

I hate to double-post between here and the Offside, but on the occasion that a new item relates to both an SPL team and the National side, I’ll go ahead and do so.

Ever since Rangers’ quick start in their Champions League group, especially the 3-0 drubbing of Lyon (later, of course, reversed), Alan Hutton has been on a lot of potential transfer lists. His performances for Scotland have been even more impressive. The Scotland and Rangers right back impressed a lot of people in a lot of different leagues during that time, and now it looks like he might be headed down to England. Spurs have apparently made an 8-million-pound offer on Hutton, and early reports are that a deal has been struck. It’s a bit early to tell if this is speculation or fact, but its been long suspected that Hutton wouldn’t last long in January in a Rangers shirt. As a Scotland fan, I think Spurs would be a good move for him, and good for the NT. As a SPL fan, I hate to see him leave the league, but I know the financial realities.

Ally McCoist and the rest of Rangers have been making comments all through December about wanting to keep Hutton in light blue, but they know they can’t compete financially with Spurs. I think the deal will probably go through, and good on Hutton for making it onto a bigger stage. He’s a great talent, and it’s only fitting that more people will get to see that.
