Rangers are reportedly keen to bring Martin Olsson to Ibrox.

Rangers have been linked this week with a move for Martin Olsson, with Expressen reporting the Ibrox side’s interest.

The Swansea City left-back would be an excellent addition for Rangers, filling a problem position.

Left-back has been an area of chopping and changing for Steven Gerrard’s side this past season.

Borna Barisic struggled to stay fit, with Andy Halliday deputising. Jon Flanagan also filled in. Heading into next season, none of the trio has the position locked down.

Signing Sweden international Olsson would be excellent business from the Gers.

The left-back has 48 caps for his country and has starred in the Premier League previously with Blackburn.

While he is shaking off an injury, if he can prove his fitness, his experience could be vital for the Gers, especially in the Europa League.

In signing Olsson, Rangers would be bringing in a player capable of being first choice, and raising the talent bar within the team.

His arrival would really push Barisic too, and further competition would be good for Rangers.
