Max Dowman has been tipped to leave Arsenal on loan this year as he continues to struggle for regular playing time at the club. Rangers and Celtic have both been suggested as possible destinations, with either Scottish side offering him the opportunity to play for a high-profile team and continue his development.Although Jack Wilshere wanted Dowman to join Luton Town, a move to Scotland could provide the attacker with a prominent platform. Playing for Rangers or Celtic would expose him to significant expectations, while regular first-team football could help him develop more quickly.Dowman would reportedly welcome such an opportunity, and Arsenal may also be considering that type of move. Ethan Nwaneri is clearly benefiting from his loan spell at Borussia Dortmund, and the Gunners could decide that a similar pathway would benefit Dowman.Rangers Could Suit DowmanDowman is a different type of player from Nwaneri, but the same approach could work well for him. A move during the second half of the season could give the attacker valuable experience and allow him to develop away from the immediate pressure of competing for minutes at Arsenal.Arsenal are being careful with Dowman’s development and will only approve a loan if they are convinced that it will benefit him. The club will want to ensure that his next destination provides the right tactical environment, playing opportunities and level of competition.Alan Hutton believes a move to Rangers could help Dowman take the next step in his career. He said via Glasgow World:“Max Dowman is a top, top talent. I mean, he’s got the world at his feet. The thing for him is doing the best for his development moving forward, and he needs to pick the right club that suits his profile of player. So would he do well at Rangers? Yeah, of course.”(Photo by Alex Pantling/Getty Images)Arsenal Consider DevelopmentHutton’s comments underline the importance of choosing the right club rather than simply arranging a temporary transfer. Dowman needs a team that will trust his ability and provide him with the consistent playing time required to develop.If Arsenal decide that Rangers or Celtic can offer those conditions, the attacker could be delighted to move to Scotland in the second half of the season. A successful loan spell would give him greater experience before he returns to north London and competes for a more regular role in the Arsenal first team._____________________________________________________________________________________________ADMIN COMMENTSo here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans.
