Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers reportedly want Tomas Kalas.

Tomas Kalas of Chelsea controls the ball under pressure from Steven Gerrard of Liverpool during the Barclays Premier League match between Liverpool and Chelsea at Anfield on April 27, 2014...

The Scottish Sun has reported that Rangers want to sign Tomas Kalas.

The £5 million-rated Chelsea defender has impressed on loan at Bristol City this season and it looks like Rangers boss Steven Gerrard might be a fan.

The Gers manager has previous dealings with Kalas, who helped to destroy his Premier League dream back in 2014.

The Czech centre-back had a stunning debut as a Jose Mourinho-led Chelsea beat Liverpool 2-0 at Anfield nearly five years ago in the match which led to the Reds losing the title.

Gerrard, who infamously slipped in that match, later wrote in his autobiography via The Daily Mail that he cried after the defeat.

The 25-year-old defender hasn’t quite scaled the heights that he promised since that day on Merseyside, spending time with Middlesbrough, Fulham and now Bristol on loan.

It’ll be interesting to see if the Rangers boss can bring him to Ibrox and take him to the next level in terms of development, following a few years of stagnation.

Quite a few light Blues players have come on leaps and bounds under the 37-year-old manager, and time will tell if there’s anything in the Kalas rumour.
