Danny Wilson has been linked with a move away from Ibrox from Rangers to the MLS.
Rangers centre-back Danny Wilson is reportedly tempted by a move to the MLS in America and that should make the Gers pursuit of Dundee defender Jack Hendry all more worthwhile.
Such a move would be considered surprising, as the former Liverpool and Hearts defender has begun to show his best form in a Rangers shirt. A mainstay under Murty, Wilson has not missed a single match since he took charge.
That now stretches to 11 Scottish Premiership matches, and in that time Wilson has scored three goals against Aberdeen, Ross County and Motherwell, as well as captaining the side against Kilmarnock.
Wilson’s importance in the Rangers side is undoubted. If he does leave, it would surely make the signing of Dundee defender Hendry a transfer priority in the final days of the January transfer window.
The Daily Mail claim Premier League quartet Bournemouth, West Ham, Crystal Palace and Newcastle will all be in attendance during Dundee’s Wednesday night clash against Hibernian, along with Celtic and Rangers scouts.
Hendry, 22, has played in every single one of Dundee’s Scottish Premiership outings under Neil McCann, and even scored on his league debut against Ross County.
Impressing scouts all over Britain, the importance of landing Hendry’s signature will multiply if Wilson does indeed opt to leave Ibrox as Hendry boasts all the same qualities as Wilson.
Determination, leadership and aggression are twinned with physical attributes such as strength, aerial prowess and a high level of anticipation that allows Hendry to read an opposition’s next move.
Rangers should begin to find a way in which to pull off a major transfer coup by beating the Premier League quartet and bitter rivals Celtic to the signature of Hendry, then, with Wilson’s future in doubt.
