Obstacle placed in the way as Rangers hunt 31-y/o arrival

Rangers will be looking to sign several players this summer as Steven Gerrard aims to close the gap to Celtic in the title race.

The Gers have certainly got a good foundation to build upon for the new campaign and the boss is going to be eager to add in the right areas to catch the Hoops.

Left-back is an area we need to look at, then, but it appears the challenge to sign Martin Olsson has got that little bit harder.

The Swedish international is a free agent and would be a powerful arrival to come into that side of the defence but according to the Sun on Sunday yesterday, he is not overly keen on a move to Scotland.

Indeed, they report that, actually, he’d prefer a move to an English club over a switch to Ibrox and that may be a bit of an obstacle for us.

However, surely we can persuade him with the prospect of a title challenge rather than meandering around in the second tier of England.
