Steven Gerrard is set to sign Eros Grezda for Rangers.

Rangers are closing in on a move for Albanian winger Eros Grezda, with The Scottish Sun reporting he could even feature in the Old Firm clash this weekend.

Rangers are bringing Grezda in from Croatian side Osijek, who they beat in the Europa League earlier this month.

Grezda missed the match against Rangers due to injury, much to the annoyance of Osijek’s manager Zoran Zekic.

Zekic lamented Grezda’s absence and was quoted by The Times talking up how good his team would have been if he was fit.

Zekic said: “If Grezda were with us in the team, our attack would be a killer.

“Luck has deserted us. It will be a few weeks before he is back, sadly.”

Grezda had been injured since March but is thought to now be back to full health, having undergone a medical with Rangers early this week.

Rangers clearly benefited from not having to face him against Osijek, and now they are adding him to their team at Ibrox.

After suffering an injury to Jamie Murphy, getting Grezda in now he has recovered from his fitness problem is a stroke of much needed good luck for Steven Gerrard.
