Rangers have been linked with bringing John Souttar to Ibrox.
Hearts defender John Souttar has told The Herald that he knows ‘nothing’ about a potential move to Rangers this summer.
The Gers saw Connor Goldson and Nikola Katic form a great centre back partnership in the final weeks of the season, but Steven Gerrard still needs defensive help.
Joe Worrall has headed back to Nottingham Forest at the end of his loan deal, whilst Gareth McAuley will be allowed to leave the club when his contract expires in a matter of weeks.
Rangers therefore need competition for Goldson and Katic, and a host of players have been linked, including Hearts star Souttar.
TEAMtalk recently suggested that Rangers want Souttar, but face a battle with Derby County for his services, whilst Hearts would be looking for a fee of £5million.
It seems unlikely that Rangers would splash that kind of cash on another centre back, but Souttar is one of the top young centre backs in Scottish football, and has starred for Craig Levein’s side this season.
Now though, Souttar has suggested that he knows ‘nothing’ about any interest from Rangers, meaning fans shouldn’t expect to see the 22-year-old in a blue shirt at Ibrox any time soon.
