Rangers boss Steven Gerrard already has Alfredo Morelos and Jermain Defoe to pick from up-front at Ibrox.

Rangers fans think that they will have failed if they opt to sign Lawrence Shankland from Dundee United.

Rangers are said to have scouted Shankland by the Daily Record, after his blistering start to the campaign.

Shankland has netted 15 goals for Dundee United, with Rangers now sending scouts to watch him.

But the Light Blues had eyes on the striker while he was with Ayr in the summer.

Rangers could have signed Shankland on a free, when his last contract expired, but opted against making a move.

And the Ibrox crowd think that if they go after Shankland now, when he would cost a big fee, then it would be an error.

There are also other Rangers fans who feel that Shankland simply isn’t good enough for them, as he would have to make too much of a step up.

If Shankland was to move to Rangers he would have a huge task breaking into their starting line-up.

Rangers already have Alfredo Morelos and Jermain Defoe competing for a spot up-front, but if Shankland could continue scoring at a similar rate to what he is doing now, he would be a wonderful addition to Steven Gerrard’s squad.
