Conor Coady reacts as Jack Butland shares new Rangers message
Conor Coady has been linked with a Rangers switch throughout the summer.
The former England international looks destined to depart Leicester City after their relegation from the Premier League last season.
This has seen a move to link up with Russell Martin in Govan being heavily speculated, despite a move not yet going through.
In a move that could point towards a deal being close at Ibrox, the defender has reacted after Jack Butland shared images from pre-season training.
Coady reacts to Butland images at Rangers
It is fair to say that the coming weeks represent a chance for the 32-year-old shotstopper to prove himself after being dropped last campaign.
Liam Kelly started the opening friendly of the summer, just as had been the case throughout the second half of the season in G51.
This has seen the English keeper be heavily linked with a transfer of his own, alongside Coady, who continues to be linked to Rangers.
The 32-year-old would certainly provide excellent competition and experience at the back for the Light Blues moving into the Scottish Premiership.
It appears that this duo already have a positive relationship after the defender reacted to the ex-Stoke City man’s message on Instagram (12 July).
The keeper said: “Strong week of work with the lads at a familiar place, now back to Scotland to ramp it up.”
This post, featuring images of Butland in training at St George’s Park, was liked by Coady, something which could see a move become more likely for the centre-back.
Rangers can now push for Coady deal with Leicester City
With the additions of Nasser Djiga and Emmanuel Fernandez, there is already excellent depth in the centre-back positions.
These signings will certainly compensate for the departure of Leon Balogun, with Robin Propper seemingly not far behind the Nigerian.
As a result, a deal to bring in Coady would certainly be a wise move after years of service in the Premier League with Wolves, Everton and Leicester City.

It will certainly be interesting to see how soon the Light Blues can agree a move for the Englishman and how he will impact the squad at Ibrox.
