RANGERS ADMIT MOVE FOR DON

RANGERS chairman David Murray has confirmed the SPL club`s interest in Sunderland's wantaway midfielder Don Hutchison, but stated that a deal is a long way from being agreed.

West Ham, Charlton and Celtic have all been strongly linked with the attack-minded Scottish international, but it now looks like Rangers are the side in pole-position to complete a swoop.

Murray said: "We have made an enquiry and unfortunately it has been blown out of proportion - I have nothing more to say just now."

Dick Advocaat's side are set to fly out to Turkey for the second leg of their Champions League qualifier, but reports are claiming they will look to complete a move upon their return.

Hutchison has revealed over the last week that he is thinking over his future which immediatly resulted in speculation regarding his role at the Stadium of Light.

His absence from Sunderland's winning side over Ipswich was due to suspension, but it now seems highly unlikely that he will wear the red and white stripes of Wearside again.

It was initially reported that Hutchison wanted a move to London, but Rangers, as well as Celtic, would be confident that the former Liverpool man would be willing to make the switch to Glasgow.
