Rangers are extremely keen on signing Motherwell ace Elijah Just in the summer transfer window.

Just is rated highly by the Rangers hierarchy, but is also on the radar of other clubs, including Celtic.

Danny Rohl is being backed by the owners this summer regardless of whether or not he can guide his team to the Scottish Premiership title.

Elijah Just among four names on Rangers’ transfer wishlist

According to the Daily Record, Just is high on the club’s wishlist and Rohl is keen on signing the New Zealand international.

Along with the winger, Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Pierce Charles, Dundee defender Luke Graham, and Sheffield United forward Tyrese Campbell are also on the shortlist.

Interest in Graham appears to be the most advanced, as Dan Purdy has watched him play on multiple occasions.

However, the Light Blues are yet to formalise their interest by making a bid, but that appears to be on the cards.

Rohl is a fan of Charles, as the duo worked together at Sheffield Wednesday, and the German is eyeing a reunion at Ibrox.

The club are keen on signing Just as it is unlikely that they will secure the services of Andreas Skov Olsen permanently.

How Danny Rohl can get the best out Just

Just is a winger who thrives when he’s given the freedom to exploit spaces between the lines, and he would be a perfect fit for Rohl’s high-intensity pressing style.

The German likes high-energy players who can lead the press, and the New Zealand international fits the bill.

Rohl would likely ask him to keep doing what he does at Motherwell and look to work on his end product to make him more effective in the final third.

While the 25-year-old is a winger, he likes cutting inside and occupying the half spaces, which is what the Rangers boss likes the two attacking players to do behind the strikers.

Rohl likes his full-backs overlapping and Just could be one of the four players in the box midfield behind the two forwards.

The advantage is that Just has experience in the Scottish Premiership, so he will not take too long to adapt to life at Ibrox.
