Rangers are set to wrap up the season-long loan signing of Joe Worrall from Nottingham Forest.

According to the Sky Sports, Steven Gerard’s side agree a deal in principle to sign defender.

Steven Gerrard has identified the England under-21 international as the ideal option to offer competition to first-choice centre-back duo Nikola Katic and Connor Goldson.

The Light Blues manager contacted Championship side Forest last weekend to offer assurances that Worrall would feature regularly enough to warrant a move north of the border.

That follows some reports that Forest wanted to loan Worrall, who was the subject of a £10million bid from Burnley back in January.
