Former Celtic right-back Mark Wilson has suggested that Steven Gerrard’s Ibrox club Glasgow Rangers should make a move for Kilmarnock star Greg Taylor, as quoted in The Scottish Sun.

Wilson, who played for Rangers’ bitter Old Firm rivals Celtic from 2006 until 2012, has spoken high of Taylor, who can operate as a left-back or as a midfielder.

The former Scotland international defender believes that the 21-year-old Kilmarnock star will be a good signing for Rangers in the summer transfer window.

The Scottish Sun quotes Wilson as saying about Taylor: “Greg Taylor I’ve been a big fan of for a good while now. Good fit, getting international recognition now and it’s a position that Rangers need to fill.”

Good signing for Rangers?

Taylor is a very good left-back, and he is also quite young. At 21, the Scotsman can only improve in the coming years.

Rangers do have a problem at the left-back position, and manager Gerrard could be looking to sign a player who can play that role consistently well in the summer transfer window.

Taylor has a lot of experience in the Scottish Premiership, having played over 100 league matches for Killie, and he will be a smart addition to the Rangers squad.

According to WhoScored, the 21-year-old made 36 appearances in the Scottish Premiership for Kilmarnock this season, scoring one goal in the process.
