Rangers fans are mentally preparing for the potential exit of Alfredo Morelos and as a result, they’ve turned their attention to an £18.5m striker linked to the club last season.
Andre Gray, 29, moved to Watford for a club-record fee back in 2017 as they snapped up the explosive forward from Premier League rivals Burnley.
Now relegated to the Championship following a disappointing season at Vicarage Road some of the Ibrox faithful feel their side should rekindle any potential interest in the striker.
Gray signed a five-year deal for the Hornets when he first signed for the club and was linked with a loan move to Ibrox by the Herald last season.
Watford are a side who performed well below expectations in last season’s Premier League and they may now look to restructure ahead of their Championship campaign.
The striker also only managed two goals last season in 27 appearances – albeit 16 of those came from the bench.
Rangers fans have mooted out the name of Andre Gray as a potential quality option to either fill the third-striking berth or replace Alfredo Morelos.

There have also been a raft of as of yet unconfirmed rumours concerning a loan with an option to buy move for Gray.
