da pinnacle： Rangers boss Steven Gerrard is keen on a move to sign Craig Halkett from Livingston, according to Football Insider.
What’s the word?
Steven Gerrard’s Rangers have caught the eye this season with their fine performances but there is still work to be done at Ibrox, where the club are eyeing further defensive additions to aid their planned rise to the top.
FootballInsider names Rangers amongst the clubs vying for the services of Livingston defender Craig Halkett, who has been watched by Championship sides and could be available in January as his contract comes to a close at the end of the season.
An academy graduate of Rangers’, Halkett was allowed to leave in 2016 to join Livingston but Gerrard is considering a move to bring the 23-year-old former Scotland U19 international back to the club.
A wise move?
Gerrard’s hunt for defensive reinforcements comes with Rangers’ having conceded eight goals in as many games, the worst defensive record in the top-eight, while they have kept just two clean sheets from those fixtures.

Livingston captain Halkett was a standout performer in his side’s 1-0 victory over Rangers last week, where Gerrard will have been keeping a close eye on the defender’s performance, and the fact he has previous links to the club makes him an ideal recruit.
With his contract also due to come to a close at the end of the season, Halkett is also an affordable target for Rangers and one that will improve the competitiveness amongst the club’s back-line.
