Rangers are understood to be keen admirers of Motherwell star Elijah Just ahead of the summer transfer window.

Just, a full New Zealand international, has been at Motherwell for a year, joining them in the summer from AC Horsens.

The 25-year-old could be on his way out at the end of the season, with a move to Ibrox currently on the cards.

Rangers chiefs impressed with Elijah Just

According to the Daily Record, Rangers chiefs are impressed with Just and will be exploring a move to bring him to the club in the summer.

Celtic are also keeping tabs on the winger, but will have to beat their Old Firm rivals to his services.

The Gers have been pleased with how he has fared in his debut season in Scotland, and will decide whether or not they want to make a move for him.

Currently, they are monitoring his development as he looks to finish the season on a high at Fir Park.

As he joined on a two-year contract at the start of the season, he will be in the final year of his deal this summer.

Along with Just, Rangers are admirers of Tawanda Maswanhise as well as his Motherwell teammate Elliot Watt.

Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises set to back Danny Rohl

Even if Rohl does not win the title this season, he is understood to have the backing of the owners.

Chairman Andrew Cavenagh’s consortium, along with the 49ers Enterprises, have shelled out north of £40m since their arrival in May last year and will once again be arming Rohl with a war chest this summer.

The German was given four new signings in January, and they have had an immediate impact on the first team.

Tuur Rommens has been earmarked for big things at Ibrox, while Tochi Chukwuani and Ryan Naderi have already become regular starters.

There are doubts about Andreas Skov Olsen’s future as he may not be what the Gers need for the longer term, but he is an upgrade on the current options at the club.

Another big summer is on the cards for the Light Blues.
