Rangers boss Pedro Caixinha is said to have held signing talks with Hearts midfielder Alexandros Tziolis after Saturday’s 2-1 win at Ibrox.
The Daily Record reports the Greece international was called into Caixinha’s office to discuss ‘details of a move’ to Ibrox.

Tziolis is out of contract at the end of the campaign but can sign a pre-contract agreement with Rangers immediately.
The 32-year-old previously worked under Caixinha at Panathinaikos while the Portuguese was employed as Jose Peseiro’s number two.
Of course, the meeting could have been completely innocent given the pair’s relationship, although the Daily Record insists Tziolis is wanted as part of Caixinha’s planned Rangers revamp.

The Light Blues are being increasingly linked with potential new signings, with veteran defenders Bruno Alves and Steven Whittaker and Motherwell pair Louis Moult and Ben Heneghan all mentioned as targets this past week.
Tziolis, who has also played for Monaco, Werder Bremen and Racing Santander, has made 14 appearances for Hearts since his January move from PAOK.
Should Rangers move for Tziolis this summer?
