Graeme Murty’s Glasgow Rangers should try to bring Harry Cochrane from Heart of Midlothian to Ibrox.

Hearts Harry Cochrane during the pre season friendly between Hearts and Newcastle on July 14, 2017 in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Leeds United and Brighton and Hove Albion have been linked with Harry Cochrane, and Rangers would be wise to join the race and try to bring the Heart of Midlothian midfielder back to Ibrox in the summer of 2018.

According to The Scottish Sun, Premier League club Brighton and Championship outfit Leeds are interested in the 16-year-old midfielder.

The Scotland Under-16 international is playing regularly for Hearts in the Scottish Premiership at the moment, and (reported) interest from top clubs in England such as Brighton and Leeds speaks volumes about the quality of the youngster.

Cochrane left Rangers for Hearts at the Under-13 level, and Graeme Murty’s side should try to secure the services of the young and talented midfielder in the summer of 2018.

True, the Scotsman would find it hard to break into the Rangers starting lineup and play regularly, but he is one for the future and could establish himself as a mainstay in the Gers team in the coming years.

Signing Cochrane on a permanent contract and then loaning him back to Hearts for the 2018-19 campaign would not be a bad idea.
