Rangers identify summer transfer target as 22-goal ace lined up by Giovanni van Bronckhorst

Former Albion Rovers striker Ross Stewart is set to be a man in-demand this summer - and Rangers are keen on his services.

The forward joined English League One side Sunderland in January 2021 and this season has hit headlines with his 22 goals in 45 matches.

It's merited a call to the Scotland squad and a report from the Northern Echo states Stewart is wanted by Rangers, alongside Premier League club Norwich City and Championship outfit Swansea City.

Ibrox boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst has lost key striker Alfredo Morelos to injury for the rest of the season, with Kemar Roofe now the starting ace.

A move to bolster their forward line this summer could await and it may be Albion Rovers' former hitman they move for.

He is set to enter the final 12 months of his current contract this summer and talks of new Sunderland deals have been shelved by manager Alex Neil, until their promotion fate is determined.

Stewart has enjoyed a sharp rise to prominence. After starting out in junior football, Rovers handed him his senior chance in 2016, impressing enough to win a move to St Mirren a year later.
