It's understood that recruitment chiefs at Ibrox are impressed with the 22-year-old.
And if a move materialises, he could join fellow Dundee player, Lyall Cameron, in moving to Rangers on a free transfer, albeit compensation will need to be paid for both.

“Josh is in really good form and it wouldn’t surprise me at all if there’s attention because his performances would merit that.”
