Glen Kamara is the subject of Rangers transfer interest with French outfit Nantes leading the chase for his signature.
The Ligue 1 strugglers are believed to be preparing a £6million move for the Light Blues midfielder. The 27-year-old - named Finland's Player of the Year last week - is said to impressed with his form during the Light Blues' run to the Europa League final last season. They defeated the likes of Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig on route before a heartbreaking penalty shootout loss in the showpiece to Frankfurt.
The Finnish midfielder had fallen down the pecking order under former boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst and was hooked at half-time in what proved to be his final game in the dugout against St Mirren prior to the Premiership winter shutdown due to the World Cup. Kamara was key member of Steven Gerrard's side in Glasgow, with now boss Beale No2 at the time and will hope his return could spark an Ibrox revival.
