Rangers are reportedly set to offer a deal to former Newcastle United striker Cameron Gascoigne, the nephew of club legend Paul.
The talented forward scored in a trial match for the development squad against Partick Thistle, something which appears to have piqued the interest of the Gers Academy.
A report from the Daily Record has now claimed that Rangers are interested in signing the 18-year-old former Newcastle United youngster after a second trial.

Naturally, it has got Rangers fans a little excited at the prospect of seeing the Gascoigne name on the back of the club’s shirts once again.
Uncle Paul – widely regarded as one of the world-class midfielders of his generation – played at Ibrox Stadium between 1995 and 1998.
A genuinely spectacular talent, Gascoigne is lauded as one of the gems in the 9 in a row era at Ibrox.
Gazza won four trophies during his time at Rangers and scored “that” 8 in a row securing hattrick against Aberdeen, amongst stealing the show in many other iconic matches.
Rangers fans excitedly took to Twitter at the prospect of another Gascoigne donning a Rangers jersey.
Think of the money we would make in shirt sales if the boy made it and fans were buying shirts with “Gascoigne 8” on the back again. Marketing managers dream.

Whilst nothing has been confirmed yet, should Cameron Gascoigne join the ranks at the Rangers Academy he’ll be joining a set-up flourishing at that level.
The Rangers Colts side find themselves in a semi-final of the Tunnock’s Caramel Wafer Cup against Inverness Caledonian Thistle and the U19s lead Slovan Bratislava 2-0 in the UEFA Youth League.
