Rangers are keen on a move for Southampton midfielder Steven Davis.

Rangers have been linked with a move for Southampton midfielder Steven Davis, with SkySports reporting their interest.

Davis could be a smart addition for the Gers and give them vital experience in midfield, but it is also an area of the pitch where they have a multitude of options already.

Where they still lack numbers is up front, and perhaps Rangers boss Steven Gerrard is simply targeting the wrong Southampton player.

Striker Sam Gallagher is crying out for a loan move as he looks to progress his career and Rangers could be ideal.

Gallagher is a former Scotland under-19 international who switched allegiance to England in 2015.

Now 22, he has struggled for minutes with the Saints and had short loan spells with Blackburn Rovers and Birmingham City.

Gallagher netted 19 goals in the Championship over the past two seasons, playing at a high standard which would prepare him well for a stint at Ibrox.

Southampton retaining their place in the Premier League has actually harmed Gallagher’s chance of a breakthrough for the Saints this season.

Davis would be a fine addition for Rangers, but getting Gallagher in on loan would give them an extra threat in front of goal which they could really benefit from.
