Celtic are said to be interested in a deal but the report states that Rangers are also interested in the 37-capped defender.
McKenna is available as a free agent after being released by Nottingham Forest at the end of his contract, which was expected after he made the temporary switch to Copenhagen.
Celtic are keen on adding another central defender to partner with Cameron Carter-Vickers with Liam Scales and Stephen Welsh supporting. The club have made it known that they’re willing to listen to offers for Maik Nawrocki, which would offer him more game time, and also permanent deals for Yuki Kobayashi and Gustaf Lagerbielke.
