Rangers‘ strikers have struggled for goals this season with neither summer signings Youssef Chermiti or Bojan Miovski finding a particularly clinical edge.
And now, Light Blues boss Danny Rohl has turned his attention to Germany in a search for help at the top end of the park.
Rangers have made their move for Ryan Naderi.
It’s understood the Light Blues have offered around £2.6million to land the towering striker.

Standing at 6ft4in tall, Naderi has scored eight goals in 17 matches this season.
He’s currently playing his trade for Hansa Rostock, who are in the THIRD tier of German football.
Rangers’ offer for 22-year old Naderi is on the table and talks are ongoing.
Crucially from a Gers point of view, it’s claimed by German reports that the player is hopeful of reaching an agreement as talks between the clubs continue.

Naderi came through the youth ranks at Dynamo Dresden before joining Borussia Monchengladbach in 2021.
He made it into Monchengladbach’s second team and spent two years there but never mare a breakthrough into their first team.
Naderi joined Hansa Rostock in 2024 and has been playing in Germany‘s third tier since.
He’s been linked with a number of clubs this transfer window including Red Bull Salzburg.
But it’s Rangers who have made their move to get him in.
Naderi’s arrival could coincide with an exit from Ibrox for Danilo.
It’s being reported that the Brazilian striker, who scored in Sunday’s 3-0 win over Dundee, is wanted for a return to Dutch football.
Eredivisie outfit NEC Nijmegen are reportedly keen on taking Danilo on loan.
Rangers signed the 26-year old from the Netherlands in 2023 when he arrived in a £6million deal from Feyenoord.
Naderi could become the Light Blues’ fourth January signing.
Tochi Chukwuani, Tuur Rommens and Andreas Skov Olsen have all headed to Ibrox this month as Rohl bolsters his squad for the title race ahead.
The win over Dundee saw Rangers leapfrog Celtic into second place AND cut the gap on leaders Hearts to just four points.
That’s after the Jambos and Celts drew 2-2 at Tynecastle.
