Craig Moore has revealed some Rangers intel he has heard surrounding goalkeeper Jack Butland.
The Englishman has been heavily linked with a transfer to Ibrox in recent weeks with Michael Beale on the hunt for a new No1.
Allan McGregor is set to vacate his position at the end of the season and Butland has been pointed as a possible replacement.
Former Rangers defender Moore has heard that there is firm interest in the goalkeeper from Rangers and he has also detailed Butland's demands of being a No1 and playing all the time.
He told Go Radio: "I believe that he is someone that is of real interest to the football club, in terms of his ability.
"He is a goalkeeper that would love to be playing more. He has a huge presence and by all accounts wouldn't mind playing for Rangers. Again, that is just what I am hearing. Rangers definitely need a number one goalkeeper."
Meanwhile, Rangers manager Michael Beale has told his squad some players will be fighting for their futures as their “disappointing season” enters the final stages.
The Light Blues were consigned to a campaign without silverware when they lost 1-0 to Celtic at Hampden in Sunday’s Scottish Cup semi-final.
Three consecutive defeats against their city rivals have put the Hoops well on course for the treble and cemented Beale’s desire to revamp his squad in the summer.
“Some are fighting for their futures obviously,” Beale said.
“We have to play the games in front of us. It’s a big weight and responsibility wearing the shirt for Rangers. It’s a huge privilege as well.
“Next week, Ibrox will be an interesting place but the fans will be there because that’s what they do, they support their team and they expect their team to win.
“This one will sting for a few days but the problems are throughout the season. It’s been a disappointing season for a Rangers fan. From the moment we beat PSV, it promised a lot more than it’s given.
“It’s the first season in a couple of years that we haven’t won a trophy or haven’t had a big finale.
“That’s disappointing for me as the manager and everybody associated with the club.
“All we can do is move forward and do better – we need to do better.”
