Rangers are keeping tabs on Coventry City midfielder Callum O’Hare about a potential free transfer, according to reports. The player is already able to talk to non-English clubs, with Celtic also expressing interest.
Gers have reaped the benefits of signing unwanted players from English clubs in recent years. The likes of Jack Butland, Dujon Sterling and Tom Lawrence have given the Teddy Bear an effective transfer blueprint.
O’Hare has scored six goals and made three assists from midfield in the Championship this season. He is a product of the Aston Villa academy.
Celtic learn Idah price
Former Sheffield Wednesday, Leeds United and England midfielder Carlton Palmer believes Norwich City will demand £10million for Celtic loanee Adam Idah. The 23-year-old has hit the ground running since making the switch to Parkhead last month.

Palmer warned Celtic that Idah’s value has likely skyrocketed due to his success. He told Football Insider: “Norwich City are holding out for a big fee for Adam Idah, who's gone on loan to Celtic," Palmer said. "He's enjoying life up at Celtic but Norwich want a big fee and he is under contract until the summer of 2028.
"The Irish international has scored five goals from his first six games in Scotland so it's a very, very bright start. It remains to be seen what the figure will be, but it will be more than the original £3million that was touted at the start.
