Owen Beck Set for Derby Move as Rangers Interest Fades
So here's the latest scoop on Owen Beck—and it’s definitely one to keep an eye on if you’ve been following his journey. The young Liverpool left-back, who really made headlines during his spell at Dundee, looks to be on the move again—but this time, not to Rangers as many had speculated. Instead, he's closing in on a loan switch to Derby County, and the story behind it is pretty intriguing.
Now, if you remember, Beck had an impressive run in the Scottish Premiership during the 2023/24 season. While on loan at Dundee, the Welsh U21 international made such a strong impact that he earned a spot in the PFA Premiership Team of the Year. That’s no small feat, especially considering he had to juggle a brief return to Liverpool in between due to an injury crisis at Anfield. Still, he bounced back, rejoined Dundee, and continued to show his class.

And yes, there was plenty of talk about him making a move to one of the Glasgow giants. Celtic were reportedly sniffing around in both January and again last summer, and more recently, it was Rangers in the mix. With his previous success in Scotland, a move to Ibrox looked logical on paper—especially with Rangers in a transitional phase under new management. But, as it turns out, that speculation didn’t go beyond whispers. Sources suggest the Rangers link was always a long shot.
Now, Beck seems set to head back to the English Championship, this time joining Derby County on loan. What makes this move even more interesting is that Derby's current manager, John Eustace, was Beck’s boss at Blackburn last season, where he also had a strong campaign. That reunion seems to have been a key factor in Beck's decision. Reports indicate he’s due for a medical this week to finalize the move.
So, while Rangers fans might be disappointed not to see Beck in blue next season, Derby supporters have every reason to be excited. Beck is still only 22, but he's already shown he can handle pressure, deliver in key moments, and adapt quickly to different styles of play. His time at Dundee and Blackburn proved that he’s more than just a prospect—he’s a genuine talent in the making.
Let’s see how he settles in at Pride Park and whether this loan could be the launchpad for a full breakthrough into Liverpool’s first team—or maybe even a permanent move elsewhere. Either way, Owen Beck is a name we’ll keep hearing.
