Rangers are closing in on a deal for Crystal Palace goalkeeper Jack Butland, reports the Scottish Sun.
The 30-year-old is currently on loan at Manchester United until the end of the season having joined in January.
Butland is set to sign a pre-contract deal which will see him become Rangers’ first signing of the summer.
The Englishman replaced Martin Dubravka after Newcastle United recalled their goalie.
Man United manager Erik ten Hag dubbed Butland a ‘really skilful goalkeeper‘ after the move.
However, he is yet to make an appearance for the Red Devils, and a summer exit is on the cards.
Rangers wanted to sign the former Stoke City star last year, but talks broke down.
The 55-time Scottish champions are looking for a replacement for Allan McGregor, and Butland fits the bill.
Rangers manager Michael Beale is a long-time admirer of the Man United loanee.
The Light Blues will be playing European football next term and challenging for domestic silverware.
Butland would be keen to join such a club, and the Red Devils will need to sign another goalie.
His contract with Palace expires at the end of the season, and he is set to move to Scotland after 12 years in England.
Man United have David de Gea and Tom Heaton as their first and second-choice goalies.
Butland has been the third option, as Ten Hag wanted an experienced alternative if the other two were unavailable.
He is unlikely to feature for the Old Trafford club with a lot at stake right now.
Man United face Manchester City in the final of the FA Cup and are looking to finish in the top four.
