The Daily Record report that Rangers are considering a move for Hearts defender, John Souttar. It’s suggested that the 22-year-old is high on Mark Allen’s list of priorities for the summer window.

Would rather have him than McKenna. BUT, why didn’t we sign Halkett on a free? We could then have used Halkett for a season, reducing Souttar’s remaining contract length. Then, if SG didn’t have faith in Halkett, done a deal which would have saved us at least half a million. No brainer.
This is not rocket science. Good players out of contract at small clubs are cheaper than good players in contract at bigger clubs.
