Rangers are reportedly lodging one final bid for Hearts winger Jamie Walker.
According to The Scottish Sun, Rangers are poised to launch one more bid for Hearts winger Jamie Walker as they attempt to lure him to Ibrox this summer.
The Gers have been busy this summer, bringing in nine new signings as Pedro Caixinha swooped to land Bruno Alves, Fabio Cardoso, Ryan Jack, Carlos Pena, Graham Dorrans, Dalcio, Daniel Candeias, Eduardo Herrera and Alfredo Morelos.

However, the silence out of Ibrox has been notable since last week’s shock Europa League defeat to Progres Niederkorn, and fans need a boost heading into the new league season.
Whilst Caixinha has boosted his squad considerably, he may still need another winger with proven quality in Scotland, given that both Dalcio and Candeias are gambles.
Now, The Scottish Sun report that Rangers are set to make another bid for Hearts winger Jamie Walker, having already failed with two offers to sign him.
The 24-year-old, who hit 12 league goals last season, has refused a new deal with Hearts and can leave for free next summer, with Rangers hoping to tempt their league rivals into selling him whilst they still can this summer.

Rangers boss Caixinha was allegedly in attendance at Tannadice on Friday night in order to watch Walker in action against Newcastle United, and he scored in a 2-1 defeat for Hearts.
The Gers will now hope that their final bid will be deemed acceptable for Ian Cathro’s side, having allowed Barrie McKay to join Nottingham Forest already this summer, though it seems that Rangers will back out of the race if this offer isn’t accepted.
