Rangers boss Mark Warburton will need to bring new players in to Ibrox.

Rangers now have a break before their next fixture but go into their time off on the back of a defeat against Old Firm rivals Celtic.

In the next week or so the club will need to look at bringing new players in at Ibrox if they are to get anywhere near the standard Celtic have been setting in Glasgow this season.

One area they will need to look at improving is left-back.

Rangers captain Lee Wallace has been out injured recently and that has exposed the Gers shortage in the position.

So, should Rangers consider a move to bring Cardiff City’s talented defender Declan John to Glasgow?

The Welshman burst into the Cardiff first-team whilst they were in the Premier League but the 21-year-old has since fallen out of favour in the Welsh capital.

He had a brilliant pre-season and started the new campaign in the first-team – but has since dropped out again after the appointment of Neil Warnock.

At 21-years-old the talented left wing-back needs to be considering his future and Rangers could be the perfect move for him.

He would be playing more regular football either in rotation with Gers skipper Wallace or as part of a back five, there is the chance to challenge for silverware going forward and John could start hoping of a recall to the Welsh national team.

Rangers rely on Wallace being fit, but they need to challenge him as well. John is young, hungry and talented – just what the Gers need if they are to get back to past glories.e
