Rangers manager Steven Gerrard appears to be close to adding a second winger to his Ibrox ranks this summer.

Motherwell fans are reacting to reports their side are set to lose Jake Hastie to Rangers.

According to The Scottish Sun, Hastie will sign a four-year pre-contract deal with Steven Gerrard’s side and move to Ibrox at the end of this season.

The 19-year-old burst onto the scene in January, when he made his full Well debut, and has scored or made six goals since then.

But with his contract due to expire, Stephen Robinson’s side were always at risk of losing Hastie – although The Scottish Sun reports they will be due a chunky development fee if he moves to Rangers.

Even so, the prospect of seeing Hastie in Rangers colours is – understandably – one that few of a Motherwell persuasion are thrilled about.

This is what they’re saying on Twitter…

So disappointed especially with mcinstray also on the move.. however as my auld man used to say , **** the lot of them. *****

Should the deal go ahead, Hastie will become the second wide player due to arrive at Rangers this summer, after Kilmarnock’s Jordan Jones.

Gerrard could also have Daniel Candeias, Eros Grezda, Jamie Murphy and Glenn Middleton competing in the pair’s position next season, although Ryan Kent may return to parent club, Liverpool.
