Clyde 1 Superscoreboard pundit Mark Wilson believes Rangers should be seriously considering signing John Souttar and Greg Taylor this summer, speaking on Thursday’s edition of the radio show.
What’s he said?
Ibrox manager Steven Gerrard has made it something of a priority in recent transfer windows to sign up the best talent available in the Scottish Premiership with deals for Glen Kamara, Jake Hastie and Jordan Jones completed this year alone.
With defensive reinforcements needed ahead of the new season, former Dundee United and Celtic man Wilson reckons Souttar and Taylor should be the next in line for a move to Glasgow.
Speaking on Clyde 1 Superscoreboard, the 34-year-old said:
I’ve got to say if John Souttar is offered to go to Rangers and Hearts accept it, I can’t see John Souttar having a problem.
He’s wanting to stay in the international fold and playing European football and playing beside better players like he would at Rangers and under Steven Gerrard would improve him.
Greg Taylor I’ve been a big fan of for a good while now. Good fit, getting international recognition now and it’s a position that Rangers need to fill.
You’ve got Barisic there who looked decent but again you can’t get him on the park.
Flanagan, a right footer at left back, that upsets the balance a bit. So I think if you brought those two in, they would be very good signings. It’s whether Killie or Hearts would let them go in the cheap.

Shopping for Souttar
There’s no doubt that Hearts stopper John Souttar is one of the stand-out defensive talents in the division outside of the two Glasgow giants.
Still just 22-years-old, he has excellent experience for his age both at Tynecastle and with Dundee United, where he made his senior breakthrough as a teenager playing alongside the likes of Andrew Robertson and Stuart Armstrong.
He’d be an excellent option to compete with Connor Goldson and Nikola Katic and definitely someone the Gers should be looking at if he is available this summer.
Taylor transfer
Likewise Greg Taylor has caught the eye of many in the Scottish Premiership over the last 12 months, finding himself nominated for the Scottish Football Writers’ Young Player of the Year award and subsequently getting called up to the most recent Scotland squad.
Mark Wilson is right to suggest that Rangers need another option at left-back too, and signing up the young homegrown 21-year-old could be an inspired transfer and one that pays off massively in the future.
