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

Rangers fans are reacting to reports that Steven Gerrard’s side are set to sign winger Jake Hastie.

According to The Scottish Sun, Hastie will sign a four-year pre-contract deal with Rangers 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 Motherwell debut, and scored his sixth goal since then in Saturday’s 3-0 win against Hamilton Academical.

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.

So what do those of a Rangers persuasion make of the prospect of Hastie’s arrival?

This is what they’re saying on Twitter…

Should the deal go ahead – and the player himself has insisted that talks with Rangers have not taken place – Hastie will become the second wide player due to arrive at Ibrox 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.

Is Hastie a good addition for Rangers?
