Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers are said to be closing in on Ovie Ejaria, with Steven Gerrard using his connections to get a deal over the line.

According to a report in the Scottish Sun, Glasgow Rangers are on the verge of signing Ovie Ejaria, and his arrival at Ibrox could give Steven Gerrard a midfield capable of dominating games.

Ejaria is set to arrive at Rangers on loan from Liverpool until the end of the season, and the youngster could thrive in Scotland.

Ejaria impressed on a loan spell with Sunderland last term, with his physical ability and passing skill coming to the fore.

Those qualities could be perfect for Gerrard at Rangers, and a potential partnership with Rossiter should excite the Ibrox crowd.

Rossiter’s progress at Rangers has been slow, with injury problems plaguing the England youth international, but there is hope that Gerrard could be the man to unlock his potential.

And if Rangers could link Ejaria and Rossiter in midfield, they would have a duo capable of dominating games.

Ejaria could help win the physical battle, with the pair both very comfortable in possession.

Rangers are likely to want to retain the ball far better than they have over the past campaign next time around, and Ejaria and Rossiter would give Gerrard the platform he needs to develop a passing game at Ibrox.
