Rangers boss Steven Gerrard is reportedly targeting a move for defender James Collins.
The 34-year-old stopper was released by West Ham and fits the bill as the Ibrox manager looks to solidify a defence that shipped 50 goals in the Premiership last season.
A move for Martin Skrtel is dead in the water due to the wage demands and the fee it would cost to take Gerrard's former Liverpool team-mate to Ibrox.
Wales international Collins was freed by the Hammers earlier this week and Gerrard would now like to bring him north of the border.
The veteran spent six season with the London side and made 214 appearances for West Ham where he was adored by supporters.
Brighton defender Connor Goldson is still high on Rangers' summer transfer wishlist and Collins has now emerged as a target, according to the Scottish Sun .
It's been a busy summer already for Gerrard in the transfer market after sealing deals for Allan McGregor, Scott Arfield and Jamie Murphy.
It's understood he also remains keen on Liverpool winger Harry Wilson, who impressed during his loan with Hull City last season.
