Rangers are in red-hot pursuit of Sunderland midfielder Dan Neil, who is available on a free transfer in this window.
While signing a new midfielder is not the top priority for Danny Rohl, he is understood to be keen on adding at least one more central midfielder to his ranks.
Rangers remain on course to sign Neil, but the deal has been getting delayed in recent days and is still not close to completion.
Which Rangers star will fare the best at the World Cup?
The Gers have six players at the tournament.
Hull City enter race to sign Dan Neil following Premier League promotion
According to TEAMtalk, Hull City are now keeping tabs on Neil as they have secured promotion to the Premier League.
The Tigers are weighing up a move for the out-of-contract Sunderland midfielder.

Middlesbrough have also been interested in signing Neil, but Hull are the ones who have emerged as serious contenders.
The Tigers hold the upper hand over Boro as they recently beat them in the play-off final and can offer him top-flight football next season.
Neil spent the second half of last season on loan at Ipswich Town and is much more likely to play for a top-flight side.
Why Rangers and Danny Rohl remain annoyed at the Neil transfer saga
Rangers and Rohl will both not be pleased at how long the Neil transfer is taking.

The Lawrence Shankland transfer moved so quickly, but for the 24-year-old, there appear to be a number of delays.
Should Lawrence Shankland be named the Rangers captain?
Colin Hendry believes he deserves the armband right away…
There probably is an indication of Neil not being fully on board with a move to Scotland, which is why new English clubs keep popping up.
This could be the midfielder telling his agent to see if there are any Premier League or promotion-chasing Championship clubs keen on signing him on a free transfer.
If this saga draws on for another week or two, there is a good chance the Gers will back out of the deal.
