Over the weekend, the Sunday People (Print edition, 20/01/2019, page 49), reported that Rangers are interested in Josh Maja.
However, according to the Sun, they face clubs from all over Britain and Europe, including Celtic.
If Maja is to end up in Glasgow, his destination simply must be Ibrox.
The 20-year-old has come out of nowhere this season, instantly becoming Sunderland’s most valuable asset.
His exploits have taken him to second in the League One scoring charts with 15 in 25 appearances.
That’s considerably better than the magic goal every other game ratio.
At the weekend, he showed once again, just why he’s so coveted.
Sunderland were under the cosh for much of their trip to Scunthorpe, on Saturday.

Yet, Maja’s predatory instincts, ensured they still got something from the game.
His close range header put the Black Cats ahead in the 59th minute.
It looked as though it might have been enough for three points, too.
That’s until Adam Hammill, who recently joined Scunthorpe from St Mirren, curled in a spectacular late equaliser.
Nonetheless, the youngster proved once again that he doesn’t need a second invitation to score goals.
While Alfredo Morelos isn’t going anywhere this window, he’s unlikely to be around forever.
With Maja available on a pre-contract deal, he could be the perfect replacement.
