Noel Whelan believes Lyndon Dykes' latest comments are a come-and-get-me plea to Glasgow Rangers.

The Gers have been linked with the Australian, who scored nine goals and provided eight assists in 25 Scottish Premiership matches last season. He recently told PLZ Soccer (via BBC Sport) that he believes he could make the grade at a club like the Ibrox outfit, which would indicate that a move away from his current club Livingston is on his mind.

Talking to Football Insider, Whelan believes that he is pleading with the Gers to take him to Glasgow. He said:

"His comments say come and get me to a lot of clubs.

"I am not sure if Livingston will appreciate the comments because he is still a Livingston player.

"You have got to love his confidence and you have got to have that confidence as a striker. You must believe in your own talent.

"He is putting out a come and get me plea to Rangers.

"Livingston did really well last season and they will want to keep hold of him but it is so difficult for the so-called smaller clubs to keep a hold of their ace cards. Dykes will be looked at by other clubs, not just Rangers and Celtic and money talks."

You have to agree with Whelan - this does seem like Dykes wants a move to the Gers, otherwise why would he have name-dropped them? At this point, you feel it is up to Ross Wilson and Steven Gerrard to make a move for him if they feel he can add something to the squad. Livingston are reportedly looking for £2m for his services.

This could well be a saga that carries on throughout the summer.
