Scottish Premiership side Glasgow Rangers are reportedly hoping to bring the one-time Tottenham man to Ibrox in the summer.

Lewis Holtby celebrates after the Second Bundesliga match between FC St. Pauli and Hamburger SV at Millerntor Stadium on March 10, 2019 in Hamburg, Germany.

Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers have been linked with a move for Hamburger SV and Germany midfielder Lewis Holtby in the summer, according to a report.

The 28-year-old will be out of contract in the summer when his contract expires with the German outfit, who are currently second in Bundesliga 2.

Holtby has experience in British football, having previously turned out for Tottenham Hotspur and Fulham, and has three caps for the four-time World Cup winners.

The Daily Record claim that the Ibrox side are keen on Holtby, while Goal.com reporter Ronan Murphy has also linked Rangers to the player.

With Rangers 10 points adrift of Old Firm rivals Celtic in the Scottish Premiership table, Steven Gerrard is likely to be casting an eye over reinforcements for next season.

Here is how some Gers fans reacted on Twitter to the Holtby speculation:

Holtby made 42 appearances over three seasons for Spurs, scoring three goals and claiming eight assists, and had a stint on loan at the Cottagers, when Felix Magath failed to keep them in the Premier League in 2013 (Transfermarkt).
