The manager has his work cut out between overhauling the squad and keeping to a tight budget but utilising the free agent market could be one way of stretching it.

If the Rangers boss wants to sign a player who has been linked with a move to Ibrox, he might have to move quickly.

Writing on his Patreon site, The Sun journalist Alan Nixon has reported that there has been interest in Oli McBurnie.

The well known Bluenose is out of contract at relegated Premier League outfit Sheffield United and it may be his last chance to get his dream Ibrox move:

“Growing up, I was always a big Rangers fan and it’s something I’ve always wanted to do. It’s just about timing.”

“Listen, it’s a special club. Have you ever been to the Old Firm? I’ve been to plenty of Old Firms and I’ve never experienced a game like it, either playing or watching. Most people who have ever been to them will say the same.
