RANGERS will be looking to ramp up their transfer business as the Champions League qualifiers edge closer and closer.

And the Gers are reportedly monitoring the situation of a very familiar face indeed.

Rangers‘ new American supremos Andrew Cavenagh and Paraag Marathe were in Glasgow in Monday as shareholders voted through their investment plans at an EGM.

It means the planned £20million cash injection from the US owners has now been rubber-stamped and transfer business can now get underway.

Lyall Cameron is the only new addition so far, with the midfielder having signed a pre-contract agreement back in January to join from Dundee.

A deal for Max Aarons looks to be extremely close with the Bournemouth right-back having been spotted in Glasgow.

Now, the Gers have been credited with an interest in a player on the other side of the defence.

According to The Times, the Light Blues are ‘keen’ on signing Owen Beck from Liverpool.

Rangers’ interest comes just a year after he was heavily linked with a move to Celtic.

Beck, 22, is a familiar face to Scottish football fans after a successful time of things at Dundee.

A Liverpool academy product, Beck spent the first half of the 2023/24 campaign on loan at Dens Park and received much acclaim for his performances.

Dee fans were gutted when the Reds recalled back at the start of the January transfer window with Jurgen Klopp dealing with an injury crisis at left-back.

Beck would subsequently make his English Premier League debut as a substitute against Bournemouth later that month.

Celtic had also been linked with a swoop for Beck in that transfer window, but his Liverpool appearance put an end to the prospect of a move to Parkhead.

That’s because Fifa rules prevent a player from turning out for three different clubs in a single season.

A potential new club’s loss was Dundee’s gain.

Beck rejoined the Dark Blues at the end of the January window and saw out the campaign in the Scottish Premiership.

He scored twice in 25 league appearances with his form recognised at the end of the season when he was named to the PFA Scotland Premiership Team of the Year.

The defender spent last season on loan at Blackburn Rovers.

Beck has now emerged as a target for Rangers but the Light Blues aren’t the only club keen.

Championship newcomers Wrexham are interested too in signing Beck, who is a Wales under-21 international.

A potential Ibrox arrival for Beck would add fresh doubts regarding the future of Ridvan Yilmaz.

The Turkish left-back has been consistently linked with a move back to his homeland.

Yilmaz and Jefte are the two current left-backs in the Gers squad.
