The Daily Record reports that Rangers have no intention of signing Martin Olsson.
That’s after the Scottish Sun suggested the Gers were in talks with the Swansea City left-back over a possible transfer.

Olsson, 31, is out of contract at the Liberty Stadium this summer. Therefore, he would be available on a free, with Nottingham Forest also touted as a potential destination [Scottish Sun].
However,
this latest Record report claims there’s ‘no interest’ and that while the 48-cap Sweden international is set for a move, his ‘next destination won’t be Ibrox.’
While Olsson may not be the one, Steven Gerrard could still look to strengthen at left-back.

It would be premature to give up on Borna Barisic after a disappointing first season, but the Gers are lacking depth in that area.

The long-serving Lee Wallace is leaving the club. Furthermore, while decent deputies, neither Jon Flanagan nor Andy Halliday are naturals in the position.
A tried and tested performer would be ideal. Therefore, perhaps some Bears will be disappointed with this news.
However, we’re still over a month away from the first game of the season. There’s plenty of time left to recruit, and it’s crucial Stevie G gets it right.
