Steven Taylor will enter into discussions with Rangers this week, according to reports.

Sky Sports is of the belief that the former Newcastle United defender is set to hold talks with the Scottish club on Monday.

It is understood that Taylor, who is a free agent this summer after ending his time at St James' Park, is also a target for Rangers' Old Firm rival Celtic while two Turkish sides are also keen,.

However, the 30-year-old centre-back is tipped to link up with former Magpies teammate Joey Barton in Glasgow after the midfielder signed with 'Gers late last month.
