Rangers have been linked with a move for Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson, with Tottenham and Celtic said to be interested too.
The Scotland international will be leaving the Reds this summer, meaning that he will be available on a free transfer.
Robertson is admired at Rangers, with Danny Rohl keen on a new left-back in the summer as Jayden Meghoma will be returning to Brentford after his loan spell.

Charlie Adam bills Andy Robertson as a Liverpool legend
Former Rangers midfielder Charlie Adam, who also represented Liverpool, has waxed lyrical over Robertson.
In his view, the defender will go down in history as a Liverpool legend for everything he has contributed to the club.
He has lauded him for taking his career from strength to strength after being released at an early age by Celtic.
Robertson made a name for himself at Queen’s Park before he was snapped up by Dundee United.

Adam believes that every Premier League club bar two or three would love to sign a player of Robertson’s calibre, even at 32.
He told the BBC: “I think you can put him up there as a legend of the football club.
“He’s won every major honour, he’s been there nine years, his performances over the years have been incredible.
“And for me, I still think he’s the best left-back in the football club. He’s been one of the great Liverpool left-backs over time.
“And he’s had an unbelievable career from his rise from being released (by Celtic), to Queen’s Park, to Dundee United, to Hull, to then going and playing for Liverpool for nine years. It’s a special career that he’s had.
“I think if you’re any other club in the Premier League, maybe apart from two or three, you’d still be looking to sign Andy Robertson as one of the top left-backs in the league.”

Why Rangers may struggle to sign Robertson
One stumbling block for the Robertson deal would be his affinity for Celtic.
If he wants to move to Scotland as a move to Spurs does not materialise, his first preference would be to move to Parkhead.
Celtic are said to be interested in signing him, and what could work in the Light Blues’ favour is if they win the league and qualify for the Champions League.
This would still see the Scotland international compete at the top level of European football, and he will get more minutes at Ibrox than he would at Spurs.
However, as things stand, the Gers remain rank outsiders to secure the services of the 32-year-old left-back.
There could be other Premier League clubs that look to take a punt on him ahead of the summer transfer window.
