Rangers ‘looking at ex-Premier League and Manchester City free agent Fabian Delph’
RANGERS are 'looking' at ex-Premier League star Fabian Delph, who is now a free agent after leaving Everton at the end of last season.
The Gers have been linked with a move for the 32-year-old midfielder, according to .
He is on the market after spending three years at the club when he transferred from Manchester City.
But they face stiff competition from a host of Premier League teams, including Sheffield United, Middlesbrough, Sunderland, West Bromwich Albion and Reading, who are all reportedly looking at Delph.
And ex-Rangers star Alan Hutton has put forward his former Aston Villa teammate as a "great" free agent signing for the Ibrox side.
Hutton played with Delph at Villa Park between 2011 and 2015, before the English midfielder moved to Manchester City.
And he believes the 32-year-old could offer some much-needed leadership at Ibrox as he labelled him a "winner".
However he did throw a cautionary word in regarding Delph's fitness, particularly after Rangers' struggles in keeping Aaron Ramsey fit last season.
Hutton told : “Obviously I know him very well, he was my captain at Aston Villa so I know what he brings to the party.
“He’s obviously a great player and within the dressing room he’s an absolute leader, definitely a winner.

"That’s probably something that Rangers could have at this moment in time.
“The one question mark that’s always been over him is fitness issues. You look at when [Aaron] Ramsey came in, there was a lot riding on him coming in and hitting the ground running and doing well and it didn’t work out.
"That would be my one fear.
“Of course I know him, he’s a great player, he could add a lot to that midfield but could he play on a consistent level week in week out?
"There would always be that question mark there."
