Rangers are hoping to sign the Bournemouth defender Jack Simpson before the transfer window closes.
According to Daily Record, Steven Gerrard wants to add to his defence and he has identified the Bournemouth academy graduate as a target.
The likes of Bruno Alves and Fabio Cardoso have left the club and therefore Rangers are looking to add more depth to their defensive ranks.
Simpson will battle it out with new signings Katic and Goldson for a starting berth if the deal goes through.
The report adds that Eddie Howe has agreed to let the player join Rangers on loan for the next season.
