Glasgow Rangers could be able to bring Louis Moult to Ibrox should they offer Motherwell cash and allow Michael O’Halloran to exit on loan.

A recent report in The Scottish Sun suggested that Motherwell would be willing to sanction a deal that would see Louis Moult join Rangers provided that the Gers paid £500,000 and loaned Michael O’Halloran out to Well for next season.

Given the two players’ respective seasons in the Scottish Premiership, it seems foolish for the Light Blues to miss the opportunity to make a deal happen.

Moult scored 15 times in the top flight this term, while O’Halloran endured an extremely frustrating campaign where his most notable moment came when he was banished from first-team training for failing to turn up for an under-20s game (via Daily Record).

Though The Scottish Sun reports that Moult only has one year left on his Fir Park deal – thus making the price seem fairly steep – Pedro Caixinha may be wise to accept something very similar to the terms that Well have put on the table.

The Scottish Sun adds that Rangers are not the only side keen on the 25-year-old, so perhaps stalling may prove costly as Moult may perhaps move elsewhere.

But given what their own strikers contributed this past season – Kenny Miller was the only forward to reach double figures for league goals – they may perhaps be left kicking themselves if they missed the opportunity to bring a 15-goal striker in while also offloading one of the players that Caixinha would prefer to have off the books.
