# Rangers: Gers want Gary Cahill

**According to [The Sun](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/15621142/chelsea-conor-gallagher-transfer-newcastle-crystal-palace/), Glasgow Rangers want to sign Gary Cahill, who is a free agent after departing Crystal Palace this summer.**

### **The Lowdown: Gers prepare for new campaign**

The Gers won the Premiership for the first time in 10 years last season, meaning they have a league title defence and a potential Champions League group stage campaign for which to prepare in 2021/22.

Steven Gerrard will be looking to boost his squad and, so far, the 55-time Scottish champions have brought in [Fashion Sakala](https://www.rangers.co.uk/article/rangers-delighted-to-announce-signing-of-fashion-sakala/6XPJ0m6Q1wrmAF0hPIBBcW) and [John Lundstram](https://www.rangers.co.uk/Article/rangers-confirm-signing-of-john-lundstram/7dpM4YOEHHYiXie7rngwpF).

### **The Latest: Gers eye Cahill**

According to [The Sun](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/15621142/chelsea-conor-gallagher-transfer-newcastle-crystal-palace/), the Gers are interested in Cahill, who recently left Crystal Palace.

The Eagles want him to sign a new contract to stay at Selhurst Park, but Rangers are willing to offer him £35,000 per week to take him north of the border.

### **The Verdict: Ambitious**

Rangers may be in the third qualifying round of the Champions League this summer, but only three of their players – [Allan McGregor](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/allan-mcgregor/detaillierteleistungsdaten/spieler/9422), [Steven Davis](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/steven-davis/detaillierteleistungsdaten/spieler/28973) and [Jermain Defoe](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jermain-defoe/detaillierteleistungsdaten/spieler/3875) – have featured in the competition’s group stage. In Cahill, the Gers would be adding a [fourth](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/gary-cahill/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/27511), and the [61-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/gary-cahill/nationalmannschaft/spieler/27511/verein_id/3299) England international has even [won the trophy](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/gary-cahill/erfolge/spieler/27511) with Chelsea back in 2012.

At 35 years of age, Cahill is one of the most experienced centre-backs in England – he has made 394 Premier League appearances ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/gary-cahill/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/27511)), picking up [eight major trophies](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/gary-cahill/erfolge/spieler/27511) with Chelsea along the way. Former Palace manager Roy Hodgson even called him “exceptionally good” last season ([via msn.com](https://www.msn.com/en-gb/sport/football/roy-hodgson-praises-veteran-defender-gary-cahill-for-his-unseen-qualities/ar-BB1ad7v4)), which along with his rich CV suggests that he could surely do a good job for the Gers despite his advancing years.
