Ally McCoist has urged Scott Allan to opt for Rangers over a potential move to the Barclays Premier League.
West Brom last week agreed a fee, believed to be in the region of £400,000, with Dundee United for the midfielder, who has also been linked with Celtic. McCoist has made no secret of his interest in the 20-year-old, who has made just seven appearances for the Tannadice side, and believes he could have a bright future at Ibrox.
He said: "We knew there would be interest from Celtic and we know there is interest from down south with West Brom. I've spoken to Scott and I'm really keen for him to come. I await his decision."
He added: "I just think he is very forward-thinking. I've seen him a good few times and he sees a pass forward and he can split a defence with a pass.
"He's a talented boy, one of the most talented boys in the country at the moment.
"I still think there is a long way to go for Scott and when we were chatting to him I did mention that to him.
"Hopefully his progression would be at this club rather than anywhere else."
McCoist hopes the fact Allan is a Rangers fan may sway his decision in favour of the Scottish champions.
He added: "It might, you would hope it would maybe influence him a little bit.
"He's got a big decision to make and he will discuss that with his family and we will await his decision."
