RANGERS are hoping to make Australian international star Matt McKay their next signing as Ally McCoist continues to bolster the squad.

The official site can reveal that the 28-year-old midfield star is firmly in McCoist's sights and a deal could be done this week.

McKay is in the UK as Australia have a friendly international with Wales on Wednesday night and Rangers would love to do a deal before the Europa League play-off deadline on Thursday.

The Brisbane Roar captain is at the peak of his form having become a regular in the Australian national team and named Player of the Season in the A-League by the Aussie media.

He captained the Roar to their first Australian title and was inspirational in the 4-2 A League final game against Central Coast Mariners.

McKay comes highly recommended by former team mate Craig Moore who, of course, spent nearly 10 years at Rangers, and Ian Ferguson who has watched McKay blossom during his time in Austalian football.

He also played beside Charlie Miller who was also impressed by his ability.

There are work permit issues but Rangers hope to overcome them and get McKay on board.

McKay, who is left sided but can play in the centre of midfield, has 16 caps for his country.

WE'LL HAVE MORE ON THIS STORY AS IT DEVELOPS

Wonder how many bids this one will go on for... ?

Ok he looks not half bad at all but if he's the replacement for Verhoek I'll be very, very angry. IMO we really need someone like Verhoek and if we get beaten to a top signing target by Nottingham Forest it'll be absolutely ludicrous. Also, this talk of AUS$ 5 million is a lot of nonsense, surely?

I have to laugh at some on here.

Was McKays Youtube video not good enough?

I think this boy is going to be superb for us - I am yet to hear one single negative 'professional' word about him.

To be named player of the year in ANY LEAGUE is not something to be looked down on - I have watched some footie in the Oz league and ill tell you one thing it was a damn sight better than watching Motherwell v Kilmarnock.

I'd be surprised if we paid anymore than 500k for this guy.
