Rangers have joined the Bosman scramble for Cardiff City midfielder Joe Ledley.
The Scottish Sun says Ledley, 23, will quit the Bluebirds following their defeat to Blackpool in Saturday's Championship play-off final.
A host of Premier League clubs, led by Europa League finalists Fulham, are set to pounce for the highly-rated playmaker.
Rangers boss Walter Smith is a huge admirer of the 27-times capped midfielder and is prepared to make him one of his highest earners at Ibrox.
Long-time admirers Wigan made a whopping £8.2m bid in January which was immediately rejected by the Bluebirds.
But that written offer means clubs in England would face a transfer tribunal to sign him - with his market value down in black and white.
West Ham, Stoke City and Blackburn Rovers are all also monitoring Ledley's situation, but fear being stung with a massive transfer fee.
Gers, on the other hand, would not have to pay a penny to land him as Ledley is still only 23 and can move across the border with no fee going to Cardiff.
