Lots of Glasgow Rangers fans have been left gushing over some transfer news that has emerged on John Souttar.

As per The Glasgow Times, the Ibrox faithful have now made a move to try and sign the Hearts central defender in the January transfer window, amid interest from a number of clubs in the English Championship.

Sheffield United, Blackburn Rovers and Nottingham Forest are all interested in his signature, but the Teddy Bears want to sign him up amid doubts over the futures of both Jack Simpson and Connor Goldson.

Like Goldson, he is out of contract in the summer, and so could potentially be signed on the cheap this month or for free at the end of the campaign.

Souttar has impressed in the Scottish Premiership so far this season, and is averaging more interceptions, clearances and blocks than both Goldson and Simpson too (WhoScored), suggesting that he would be a shrewd signing.
