Alan Hutton has admitted that Rangers will need to guarantee playing time if they are to lure Ross Stewart from Sunderland this summer. The Scottish side have been linked with a move for Stewart after his 26 goals in 49 league games helped Sunderland win promotion to the Championship via the playoffs.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst has made the 25-year-old his number one target upfront as talks with Colombian frontman Alfredo Morelos stall. They may look to offload the striker this summer while they can still demand a fee and use the money to bring in Stewart, but they must make a decision on that soon before they move for any incomings.
And former Scotland international Hutton admitted that Rangers must give the forward a guarantee of playing time if they are to convince him to cross the border, and he lauded the Black Cats man for his big goals and hold up play.
