Determined Rangers are looking to beat Liverpool to the signing of Aberdeen youngster Lancelot Pollard.
The Premiership champions are aware that there is big interest in the Dons' young attacker and are prepared to make a six figure bid to get a quick deal over the line.
Liverpool have an active interest while Manchester United are also known to be keeping tabs on the talented teenager.
Rangers are prepared to make their move now to get an early deal done.
Pollard has come through the Cormack Park youth ranks and has been seen as one of the best young talents in the Aberdeen academy.
He has played up through the Aberdeen under-age teams and has also turned out for their under-18 squad.
That has brought Pollard to the attention of Rangers and some of England’s biggest clubs.
Aberdeen know they could lose him for training compensation when he is able to sign his first pro-forms.
