Aberdeen standout Lewis Ferguson is on Rangers' signing radar after impressing the club's new sporting director Ross Wilson - according to a report.
The 21-year-old has become an integral part of Derek McInnes' side since joining on a free transfer from Hamilton and dad Derek and uncle Barry have both previously starred for the Ibrox side.
Rangers could even make a move for Ferguson if in-demand Glen Kamara is sold in January, claim the Scottish Sun.
Steven Gerrard revealed last week that the Finland international, who is contracted at Ibrox until 2023, is regularly being watched by a host of clubs.
Ferguson is the man who makes the Dons tick in the middle of the park and his absence was keenly felt during their recent 4-0 drubbing at the hands of Celtic.
And Aberdeen will do all they can if to stand firm an offer does emerge from the Premiership rivals with Ferguson under contract until the summer of 2024. The all-action star netted the winner against Rangers in last season's Betfred Cup semi-final.
New recruitment chief Wilson will be looking to put his own stamp on proceedings but Gerrard warned fans to expect more outgoings than incomings when the window opens.
The Ibrox boss said: “In terms of his role in the next transfer window, the squad will be made smaller in January.
“And what doesn’t change at Rangers is that if there’s something worth exploring which will make us better, we’ll try to do it.
“But don’t expect a lot of bodies coming in – that just won’t be the case."
Rangers posted £11m losses during the club's latest accounts but will be fighting on three fronts in the New Year if they emerge from their Europa League group.
