Rangers in for goalkeeper who was personally trained by Petr Cech

Rangers could work on the recommendation of Petr Cech for their next goalkeeper signing.

The Gers appear to be in the market for a new shot stopper as the summer window continues.

It appears that Jack Butland's future is at risk after an up and down few years at Ibrox.

There have already been a number of links with Hull City's Ivor Pandur emerging as a target.

Interest has also surrounded Anthony Patterson of Sunderland, but a deal is yet to go through in Govan.

The Light Blues could now turn to another option in Manchester United talent Radek Vitek.

It feels as if a move for a new keeper would help to improve the squad at Ibrox almost immediately.

Lawrence Shankland and Ross McCrorie have already come in to join Derek McInnes, but a fresh pair of hands between the sticks could be next.

Sky Sports reported on Saturday that Vitek is a new option being considered in G51.

The 22-year-old is expected to depart Old Trafford this summer after a productive loan spell at Bristol City last season.

He kept 12 clean sheets in the Championship and could now be on the move this summer.

Ibrox could be a destination for Vitek in a move that could excite supporters based on what Cech has said about him.

What has Petr Cech said about working closely with Vitek?

The Man United academy product may not have gone to the World Cup with Czechia, but is clearly highly rated in his homeland.

One of their biggest legends is the ex-Chelsea and Arsenal keeper, who was the best goalkeeper in the Premier League for many years.

To receive his backing is a massive vote of confidence and Vitek has certainly got that.

Speaking to BBC Sport in May, Cech revealed that he has trained personally with the 22-year-old.

He said: "It's important to play. I'm sure he will want to go somewhere and continue playing.

"It's great to see him progress because playing for the Under-21s with United is one thing, but then he played men's football in Austria, which went really well for him, then he came back to England with Bristol City and did well there.

"That obviously gives him an opportunity to attract even attention from teams.

"I met him a couple of years ago, when we had a training session and talked about things. I could see he's got the hunger and the willingness to get better."

That experience will only have improved him as a goalkeeper, something which Rangers could seek to benefit from this summer.
