Rangers ready summer bid to sign Dundee United centre-back Ross Graham
Rangers are ready to make a bid to sign centre-back Ross Graham from Dundee United in the summer, according to Alan Nixon.
Writing via his Patreon account, the Sun journalist reports that United “may cash in if the right offer comes along” and the Gers are waiting to make a move ahead of the summer.
Hearts defender John Souttar has already agreed to join the Light Blues on a pre-contract deal but it seems as though Giovanni van Bronckhorst and Ross Wilson may want more than one new face in that area of the squad.
Nixon adds that “there could be a shake-up of the squad in the summer” at Ibrox.
Defensive reinforcements needed
Rangers are going to have a massive summer transfer window no matter what this year.
If we miss out on the title and a spot in the Champions League group stages, players might want to go but if the opposite happens, players will no doubt want to come and there’ll be more money available.
Either way, the defence needs to be sorted out.
While Souttar is coming in, Connor Goldson looks to be on his way out, Nikola Katic is out of favour while on loan in Croatia, the same goes for Jack Simpson and Leon Balogun’s deal also expires this summer.
Graham has done well at Dundee United since he returned to Tannadice after a loan spell with Dunfermline in the first half of the campaign.
The left-footed Scotland Under-21 international has played 10 times in the Scottish Premiership, scoring twice and helping his side keep three clean sheets.
One of Graham’s goals came in a 1-1 draw with Rangers on 20 February.
Dundee United’s Ryan Edwards shared high praise for Graham after that win, via the Daily Record.
Edwards said: “He was certainly ready when his Scottish Premiership debut came at Celtic Park and he made his first start in the Dundee derby.
“He’s a Dundee United fan, a young lad who is playing as a supporter for the team.
“It’s what the crowd and club want to see.
“We all want young lads who have grown up in the area doing well for the club.
“He’s an old head on young shoulders. He has a calmness and composure on the pitch.
“If I can help Ross I will but I don’t want to take the credit for what he is doing. The credit should all go to Ross.”
