Steven Pressley has warned Rangers they face strong competition to land Luke Graham this summer.
The Scotland U21 defender is attracting significant interest this summer, both from down south and further afield in Europe, as well as from Danny Rohl's side.
Pressley admits it will be difficult to keep hold of the highly-rated centre-back amid the growing attention. He said: “There’s a lot of interest in Luke from here, England, and abroad.
It’s difficult to see him here next season with the number of clubs interested. But we’re in no rush to sell. Luke has the capabilities to be a centre-back in the English Premier League down the line.

“But if he is still here in August, I’d be very happy.”
Dundee held firm in January to protect their Premiership status, with Pressley pleased the club resisted selling mid-season. He added: “In January, we didn’t want to sell Luke because I’d seen before what can happen.
“We wanted to reinforce in that window rather than take the risk.”
Graham is currently training with the Scotland squad ahead of Saturday’s World Cup farewell against Curacao.
