Newcastle United winger and ল 12 million former Jacob Murphy is open to going to the Rangers, a report said.
The Glasgow Times believes the 25-year-old winger is attracted to the prospect of moving to Ebrox and working under Steven Gerrard, but the Magpies want him to fight for his place.

But Murphy faces stiffer competition to move to Newcastle United than Alan Saint-Maximin, Miguel Alamiron and now Ryan Fraser.
Tun is keen to give the winger a chance to fight in his place in January after spending last season for the season in Sheffield on Wednesday, if things don’t work out.
It is understood that Steve Bruce and Newcastle may even be more open to loan action when the player’s contract expires at the end of this season.

“I’m really clear that we need to add so I think we should probably try to accelerate it further,” Gerard said.

“Removing what I just saw in the treatment room, in two weeks, of course, not two, not three years, is missing. Our numbers are fine so we need to add them very quickly. “
The Glasgow Times reports Bournemouth, Sheffield Wednesday and Nottingham Forest credited the player with interest.
