Rangers need more home grown players but they also need quality and former Hearts man Andy Irving ticks both boxes.
Scouting across Europe finds few players from Scotland in our price range but there are one or two worth keeping an eye on.
Defensive midfield is an area that Michael Beale will look to strengthen with technical ability high up on the list of priorities.
Andy Irving left Scotland almost for this reason.
Known as a technician, the 22-year old former Scotland youth international is currently starring with Austria Klagenfurt in Austria’s Bundesliga.
With four goals and six assists from a deep lying playmaker role, Irving produces better numbers than both John Lundstram and Glen Kamara.
In a team that is more dominant, Irving could be even more impressive.
What Andy Irving would bring to Rangers
At 6ft 3inches tall, the Edinburgh born midfielder has grown into a powerful physique and having played for Hearts in the Premiership and Championship, knows exactly what SPFL football is all about.
A spell in Germany was cut short but this, and his current experience in Austria, would stand him in good stead for European football and playing with better players could take his game to the next level.
Successful Rangers teams have always had a core of Scottish players and Irving has always been known for his ability on the ball.
As a tall, graceful, defensive midfielder, Irving is more similar to how Steven Davis plays the role than someone like Ryan Jack.
He’s a passer and that’s what Rangers need from in front of the defence.
Short of paying £10m for Lewis Ferguson, probably double for John McGinn and a reported £50m for Scott McTominay, players like Irving are Rangers best bet at building our home grown quota.
The alternative is putting more faith in the academy but that depends on the quality coming through.
