Rangers' long-serving captain James Tavernier has emerged as a target for former Liverpool and Chelsea boss Rafa Benitez - now coaching Greek giants Panathinaikos.
Tavernier, 34, is out of contract in the summer and Benitez's club are weighing up a pre-contract offer.
The Rangers right-back is the highest scoring British defender in history with 146 career goals.
Prolific from the penalty spot, he has scored 99 league goals for the Ibrox club.
Meanwhile, Danny Rohl is still looking to add to his squad and confirmed Rangers were 'in the process' of recruiting Denmark winger Andreas Skov Olsen after already signing Tochi Chukwuani and Tuur Rommens in the transfer window.
Belgian left-back Rommens joined Rangers on Wednesday from Westerlo on an initial three-and-a-half-year deal but he will not feature against Annan as he builds up his fitness, which could take up to 14 days.

The Ibrox club confirmed on Sunday that 22-year-old Danish midfielder Chukwuani had completed his move from Sturm Graz.
Asked how close he was to signing Skov Olsen, the former Sheffield Wednesday boss said: 'I'm not a good poker player. Now we are in the process, it looks very positive but as long as it's not confirmed and everything is through, then I cannot tell you too much.
'I was asking for a left foot on the right side. I think this is also in part, because we have a lot of right foots, it gives us a different profile as well.
'He (Skov Olsen) had a lot of goals at Club Brugge and now it's about us.
'If he comes, if we bring him back to his best performance, then of course he could be a great loan signing.'
Rohl revealed he was not yet finished his recruitment drive, adding: 'I cannot tell you exactly the number, but we are still looking for some more positions.
'I think this is not a secret with the injury of Connor (Barron). It changed a little bit also what we need as well in this position.
'We have strong players, we have with Chukwuani a new one, but there's still a long way to go and we have to make sure that our midfield is strong.'
