Rangers are reportedly looking to bring Craig Bryson to Ibrox this month.

According to the Daily Record, Rangers are in talks with Derby County about a deal to sign midfielder Craig Bryson on a free transfer.

The Gers have already tied up four deals this month, signing Steven Davis and Jermain Defoe on loan before securing pre-contract agreements for Glen Kamara and Jordan Jones.

Rangers may not be done in the transfer market just yet though, and another midfielder may be on the radar despite an abundance of options already at Ibrox.

The Daily Record now report that Rangers are in talks with Derby County, as they are attempting to sign midfielder Bryson on a free transfer.

It’s believed that Derby may be willing to let Bryson go in order to trim the wage bill, despite him featuring in 18 Championship games, notching two goals and two assists.

The report also notes that Rangers assistant boss Gary McAllister has convinced boss Steven Gerrard to make a move for Bryson in an attempt to bring him back to Scotland.

The former Scotland international, who earned three caps for his country, left Scottish football in 2011 as he swapped Kilmarnock for Derby.

With more than 130 appearances for Kilmarnock, almost 250 for Derby and more than 20 in a promotion-winning loan spell at Cardiff last season, Bryson is an experienced campaigner.

Yet with Ross McCrorie, Ryan Jack, Jordan Rossiter, Graham Dorrans, Lassana Coulibaly and Davis already at Ibrox – and Kamara potentially to sign this month – another midfielder would be something of a surprise unless it’s a dynamic number 10.
