Glasgow Rangers have reportedly expressed an interest in Jonson Clarke-Harris, with Ibrox scouts said to have watched him at the weekend.

The 27-year-old currently plays for English third-tier side Peterborough, and has scored 27 goals this season, a tally which has put him on the radar of numerous clubs.

According to the Bristol Post, Rangers scouts saw Clarke-Harris in action against Accrington Stanley, a game in which he scored a hat-trick en route to a 7-0 win.

However, the Ibrox outfit is far from the only club reportedly keeping tabs on the striker.

The Bristol Post claims that English sides Bournemouth, West Brom and Sheffield United are also interested in Clarke-Harris.

The striker, who reportedly cost Posh £1.25million plus add-ons, is now said to be valued at £5million.

Clarke-Harris is a talented striker whose efforts for Peterborough this season have been remarkable, and the club is sure to be inundated with interest in their player.

While there seems to be plenty of competition from English sides, none of them would be able to offer Clarke-Harris the chance to win domestic silverware and European football like the Gers could.
