Some Rangers on Twitter are on board with the prospect of signing Borna Barisic.

The Croatian left-back impressed for Osijek in their second-round Europa League qualifier against Rangers over the past 10 days.

It seems like Gers boss Steven Gerrard was so impressed, in fact, that the 38-year-old now wants to bring him to Ibrox in what could be a £2 million deal, according to The Daily Express.

And some fans of the Scottish Premiership giants seem more than happy with the prospect of getting Barisic, who has three caps for his country.

Gerrard has tried and failed to sign a number of centre-backs in recent weeks – including Mark Beevers and Jake Cooper – but signing a left-sided player would indicate that the Rangers manager is going for a new approach.

It would plunge Lee Wallace’s future at Ibrox into slightly more doubt, given that Declan John looks to be above Wallace in Gerrard’s pecking order.

The 30-year-old defender was suspended by the club toward the end of last season for a verbal assault of then-manager Graeme Murty following a Scottish Cup semi-final mauling by Celtic.

Steven Gerrard is unveiled as the new manager of Rangers football Club at Ibrox Stadium on May 4, 2018 in Glasgow, Scotland.
