Rangers will attempt to prise James McFadden from Birmingham City as Walter Smith, the manager, and Sir David Murray, the chairman, set about restoring confidence at Ibrox after the abrupt sale of Carlos Cuéllar to Aston Villa.

Last night Smith was said to be closing in on McFadden, who is still intent on leaving Birmingham since their relegation from the Barclays Premier League last season. Glenn Loovens, the Cardiff City defender, Steven Davis, the Fulham midfield player, and Mark Bresciano, the Palermo midfield player, are also being pursued by Rangers. Source - Times
