Vaclav Hladky revealed on Tuesday that Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers are interested in him.
If rumours are believed, Rangers might want to sign Vaclav Hladky.
According to the goalkeeper himself, the Gers are interested in the 28-year-old.
Hadky has been a big hit at St Mirren after joining in January of this year and Rangers might well take a look in January.
If they do, and if they get him, it could be an absolute steal by Steven Gerrard and Director of Football Ross Wilson.
That is because not only is Hladky a very talented goalkeeper, one who is proven in the Scottish Premiership, but he won’t cost an arm and a leg.
The Czech stopper is out of contract with the Buddies next summer – along with Ibrox duo Allan McGregor and Wes Foderingham – and surely Gerrard could pick him up for a very nice price.

To avoid losing him for free in June, they will have to sell during the winter and it wouldn’t be a huge surprise if Rangers snagged him on a six-figure deal.
The club have pulled off some major bargains in recent years. Alfredo Morelos is worth at least 20 times the £1 million fee that the light Blues spent on him in the summer of 2017, while Glen Kamara arrived for only £50,000 last January.
Nobody is saying that Hladky will go on to have an enormous re-sale value like Morelos and Kamara for example, but it could potentially be a very, very shrewd deal by Gerrard and Wilson – in terms of value for money, perhaps their best signing in January.
It must be noted that the player himself has admitted that English football is his priority, but if there’s no takers down there then even better for Rangers.
