Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe has insisted there's no way Rangers loanee Emerson Hyndman will be allowed to stay in Scotland.

US ace Hyndman has impressed since he joined the Ibrox club in January, quickly becoming a fans' favourite after putting in a string of strong performances.

He's also caught the eye of rivals Celtic , with MailSport revealing last month the champions were plotting a sensational move to bring in the midfielder in time for the start of next season.

It's understood Brendan Rodgers ' side made an inquiry to the Cherries about his availability ahead of a bid to lure him across the city.

But the Bournemouth gaffer, who signed Hyndman from Fulham last summer, is determined to hang on to the star.

Calling the youngster an "outstanding" talent, he told the Daily Echo: "You don’t invest in young players to then move them on very quickly. That defeats the object of our model.

“We look to bring in young and talented players and develop them and make them better. That is a long-term process.

“We are delighted with the progress. It's great to see Emerson doing so well on loan with Rangers."

Since arriving at Ibrox, the playmaker, who is a product of the FC Dallas setup, has netted four goals.

He was rewarded for his efforts when he was named Rangers' Young Player of the Year.

Talking about life at the Light Blues, he said: “I am pleased that I started quite well. Every time you come to a new club with new team-mates you want to get used to them and feel at home and I’ve done that quite quickly.

“I had confidence coming into the club but you want to see that confidence turn into results and individually you want to do well."
