Rangers also face competition from Newcastle United for Greek defender Vassilis Torosidis.

The 22-year-old has caught the eye of Ibrox boss Walter Smith but Olympiakos want £4m before they will allow him to leave.

Monaco, Marseille and Atletico Madrid are all interested but Kevin Keegan's cash-rich Newcastle will now be viewed as favourites to get Torosidis.

The 11-times capped player will play alongside former Rangers defender Sotirios Kyrgiakos for the Greek national team at Euro 2008 this summer. Source - Mail on Sunday
