Ally McCoist believes Chelsea midfielder Billy Gilmour would thrive under Graham Potter at Brighton.
The Seagulls are reportedly keen to sign Gilmour on loan, with a deal looking likely to go through before the transfer window closes on Thursday.
Gilmour failed to impress last season on loan at Norwich, who were relegated from the Premier League.
But former Rangers man McCoist believes his fellow Scot would fare much better in Potter’s side.
“That kind of move really appeals to me for the wee man,” McCoist said on Talksport.
“I know he didn’t hit it off at Norwich and a lot of the Norwich fans weren’t too happy with that particular signing, but I don’t know if Billy Gilmour was suited to a team that was struggling and fighting for survival.
“Brighton are a bright, young team that are playing for their manager and doing fantastically well.
“They play the game the right way and it’s good to watch. I just think that would be a good fit.
“That move excites me. I think it would be a good move for Billy Gilmour.”
Gilmour is well down the pecking order at midfielders at Chelsea, where Conor Gallagher has leapfrogged him to earn a place in the first team this season.
