FORMER Rangers and Aberdeen star Ross McCrorie is being tracked ahead of a stunning potential move to the English Premier League, according to a report.
The 26-year-old Scotland squad man has made 16 appearances for County this season, scoring once.

And now the Daily Record is claiming that his exploits this season have brought him to the attention of Crystal Palace.
McCrorie’s contract expires at the end of next season, although the club have an option for another year.
And the Dons are due a sell-on if Palace follow through on their interest with a concrete bid for the full back, whose stats are believed to have caught the attention of the Eagles scouts.
Palace, currently under the charge of former Eintracht Frankfurt boss Oliver Glasner, currently sit 13th in the Premier League table.
They’ve successfully utilised the Scottish market previously, with Scottish-born Northern Ireland star Justin Devenny having made an impact in the English top flight this year.
McCrorie’s time in Bristol hasn’t entirely been plain sailing – with the star missing six months of playing time after being diagnosed with osteomyelitis.
He said: “I was diagnosed with a bone infection, osteomyelitis, at the start of the season.
“I was out for six, seven months. It was a turbulent time for me, really traumatic.
“For the first two months it was just excruciating pain. It was a constant stabbing pain and I was just popping pills.
“I couldn’t move my leg, my left leg was basically disabled.
“I couldn’t get my socks on. So it was two months of testing and I was in a lot of pain during that period.”
