The 19-year-old sensation for Partick Thistle in the Championship this season has drawn the attention of scouts from the highly-paid English team, Newcastle United.
According to credible sources, they are also considering making a bid for the midfielder during the upcoming transfer window in January.
The youth has always been highly valued by Rangers, who have loaned him to East Fife and now the Jags to gather experience before having him compete for an Ibrox spot again.
McKinnon, who scored against Arbroath on Saturday, had a new contract earlier this summer that runs through 2025, giving them good protection against interest from other clubs.
Newcastle, however, likes what they see and may put them to the test when another window to sign new players opens up in a few months precisely three months from this write-up.
McKinnon received special recognition for his contribution to Thistle’s victory over the weekend.
McKinnon, who competed in the Lowland League, UEFA Youth League, and SPFL Trust Trophy last season and was awarded the Rangers B side player of the year, has had quite an amazing year in his promising football career.
