Rangers are interested in signing Venezia midfielder Harvey St Clair, who worked with current Ibrox coach Michael Beale at Chelsea, according to The Sunday Post.

Steven Gerrard, who was appointed the Rangers manager in the summer, watched St Clair in action at the Toulon tournament in the summer, according to the report.

The 20-year-old midfielder moved to Venezia in Serie B in the summer transfer window after leaving Chelsea.

 

The Scotland Under-21 international has told The Sunday Post that he spoke to his former Chelsea coach Beale - who was recruited by Rangers in the summer - regarding moving to Italy and took his advice.

Rangers move?

According to The Sunday Post, Rangers are following St Clair closely and could make a move for the Scottish youngster next summer.

St Clair rates Beale highly and takes his advice, and that could be a trump card for Rangers in their reported interest in the 20-year-old midfielder.

St Clair is doing well in Italy, and the Scotland Under-21 international midfielder would be a good signing for Rangers in the summer of 2019.
