Hartlepool United boss Paul Hartley is believed to be planning a loan swoop for Rangers winger Josh McPake.
Rangers want the wide man from Coatbridge to undertake pre-season training with them, with two years left on his contract, but he would probably then be sent out on loan.
And it has emerged that former Hamilton, Hearts and Hibs star Hartley has identified the 20-year-old as a target for their League Two campaign.
