Sheffield United striker Oli McBurnie admits he'd welcome a move to Rangers.

McBurnie has revealed how close he came to a move to Ibrox when Steven Gerrard took over at the club.

When asked if he thinks he will eventually sign for Rangers, he told Open Goal: "I think I will. There's been a couple of times where we've been close before.

"I don't know If I am allowed to say this but f*** it. I met Stevie G and Gary Mac in Dubai the summer that they got the job.

"I was out in Dubai with Greegsy (Allan McGregor). Me and Greegsy had been having an all-dayer. I got a phone call from my agent ... this must be the year when I just got back from Barnsley and before I signed my new deal at Swansea.

"My agent rang me and said Steven Gerrard is in the hotel around the corner from you and wants to have a chat with you. Nothing too stressful, just casual. I am on an all-dayer with Greegsy and the next morning I've woke up and went 'f*** I need to go to that hotel and meet Gerrard'.

"I've gone and I am hanging out my arse. I am waiting in reception for Gerrard's receptionist to come down and just before she has come down I've had to run to the toilet and throw up.

"Just as I have walked back from the toilet his assistant is waiting for me in reception saying 'I can go to the room now'. I've got puke all around my nose and all that.

"But he was a top man. When I walked out that room I rang my agent and said 'I want to play for him. It's f***ing Stevie G, it's Rangers'.

"Things happen. You know what football is like mate, and I ended up signing a new deal at Swansea and ever since then it's been a bit financially out of the question."
