Rangers are on the hunt to bolster the striker position at Ibrox this transfer window.
The Gers were found wanting in the forward positions last season as injury forced a number of crucial players out of the squad.
With Kemar Roofe leaving Rangers this summer and Fabio Silva returning to Wolves, there is much work to be done.
And as Rangers close in on one new hitman in the shape of Hamza Igamane, a surprise link to another striker currently at the Copa America has surfaced online.
Rangers watching Bair
Ibrox fans might be surprised to hear that Motherwell hitman Theo Bair is currently in the USA at the Copa America.
But the Canada international has certainly done enough to merit the opportunity after a stellar season with the Steelmen.
Rangers know all to well the physical goalscoring exploits of Bair with the hitman netting Motherwell’s first goal in that devastating 2-1 Ibrox defeat to the Fir Park side last season.
Whilst Theo Bair was an unused substitute in Canada’s Copa America opener v Argentina, we suspect fans will get a glimpse of the player as the tournament goes on.
Now, the Athletic are claiming that Rangers have kept an eye on the striker heading into the summer alongside Old Firm rivals Celtic.
With unnamed teams in Germany also mentioned should Rangers be keen on the Bair they face a genuine transfer battle and it’s something the striker himself is appearing to relish.
Striker makes transfer pledge
Speaking about his potential transfer prospects this summer, Theo Bair has been startlingly ambitious.
Claiming that he has dreams of playing at the highest level, the 24-year-old Ontarian insists that he’s ready to take another step in his career.
It comes with Bair impressing across two seasons in Scotland, scoring 15 times in all competitions for Motherwell last season after joining the club from St Johnstone.
Starting his career with Vancouver Whitecaps in the MLS, with a brief loan spell in Norway in between, Bair certainly thinks very highly of himself and what he can achieve in the game.
“If a transfer were to come, I want to go as high as possible and test myself,” Bair told the Athletic. “I think I need to be tested physically.
“I need to go and prove myself right: I believe I can score at the highest levels and I don’t want this season to be a one-off.”
With a deal got Igamane edging closer, Rangers are reportedly interested in bringing two new forwards to the club this summer.
