Dundee defender Luke Graham is understood to be high up on Rangers’ wishlist ahead of the summer transfer window.
The 22-year-old has impressed in the Scottish Premiership, and his performances have been tracked in person by Dan Purdy.
Rangers have ramped up their interest in Graham in recent weeks as they want to finalise the deal before the window even opens.

Luke Graham leaves door open for summer exit
Graham has admitted that he tries to block out all the speculation surrounding his future.
Rather than stating that he is committed to Dundee and sees himself there for the foreseeable future, he doubled down on ending the current season well.
He knows his side are in a relegation battle and stated that his focus was primarily on keeping his side away from 11th place.
It does seem like he is keeping the door open for a summer departure, but potentially will look to address his future when the time arises.
Graham said: “I just block all of that out.
“I don’t really want anything to do with that side of things when I’m mid-season with Dundee.
“All I will be doing is ensuring I focus on my own game.
“For me personally, it’s been an amazing season and the manager has put a lot of trust in me. I have tried to repay him for that.
“We need to keep trying to put as much distance between ourselves and 11th place as possible. We beat Celtic earlier in the season, so this weekend it’s about trying to match that performance.”

How Danny Rohl can get the best out of Graham at Rangers
Danny Rohl has shown a penchant for improving defenders and that has been clear since he took over the reins at Ibrox.
Emmanuel Fernandez and Nasser Djiga have both improved under his stewardship and Tuur Rommens, who only joined in January, has adapted extremely well to the Scottish game.
Rohl will certainly look to get the best out of Graham as well, and the Scotsman’s past experience in the Premiership will come in handy.
The defender has been a regular for the Scotland Under-21s as well, so he has youth international experience under his belt.
The Rangers boss will look to work individual drills with him in pre-season and help him understand what the role demands.
He will also ask Fernandez to help him out as the duo could very well be the first-choice options for the Ibrox outfit next season.
