Andy Halliday

RANGERS are ready to offer Middlesbrough wideman Andy Halliday a pre-contract deal next month.

SunSport understands the ex-Livingston ace is on Ally McCoist’s list of wanted free agents for next season. Halliday, 21, will be out of contract in the summer after three years at the Riverside.

The Ibrox club are banned from signing players until their transfer embargo expires on September 1.

Gers fan Halliday couldn’t play for his boyhood idols until then if he did pen a New Year deal but could link up with them in the summer.

Halliday was on the books at Ibrox for four years and played in the same youth teams as John Fleck and Danny Wilson. He was released after suffering from growing pains but signed for Livi just two weeks later and hasn’t looked back since.

Gordon Strachan made him one of his first signings after taking over at Boro in the summer of 2011 and marked him down as one for the future.

But he struggled to break into the top team due to injury and a clause which meant Boro would have to pay more cash to Livi once he’d played a certain number of games.

Halliday was sent on loan to Walsall last term but has become a regular in the Championship this season after Tony Mowbray switched him to left-back.

That form has already seen Boro enter into contract talks with Halliday’s representatives over him signing an extension.

The outcome could decide whether Halliday returns to Scotland to help spark what will likely be Gers’ Division Two campaign next term.

He's a left back isnt he? Can he play on the right?

He is a cracking player, with a good engine and can whip in a good ball.

Left back isn't a position we need players, but I would take him in a heart beat.

I think he'd be a very useful asset, more options on the wing and a back-up to Wallace when injured which we currently don't have.

I think he can play all down the left side as well as up front and on the right wing. Would add a different option if we were to get him. Plus he's left footed as well, which is something we don't have a lot of in the squad.

Plus he knows the divisions as well from his time at Livingston.
