Glasgow Rangers winger Jamie Murphy could be moved on from Ibrox this summer, according to a report.

According to the Scottish Sun, Scottish Premiership newcomers Dundee United are desperate to boost their attacking options and have targeted the out-of-favour 30-year-old.

The outlet also understands that the Ibrox outfit would be willing to let Murphy, who has 12 months left on his current deal, leave for a cut-price fee.

The 30-year-old, a boyhood Rangers supporter, began life brightly at Ibrox after signing permanently from English club Brighton in 2018 for £1million following his half-season loan.

However, Murphy was sidelined a cruciate ligament injury just weeks into his stint and, by the time he returned to full fitness, had fallen behind the likes of Ryan Kent and Sheyi Ojo in the pecking order.

Murphy went out on loan to English League One side Burton Albion in January and did extremely well for the Brewers, claiming seven goals and two assists from just 10 league games.

“He’s been brilliant,” then Burton boss Nigel Clough said on the Totally Football League Show.

“When we heard that we might have a small chance of bringing him in, we just did everything we could to get him down here. I think he’s got three in five now or something.

“He’s a game-changing player. We’re extremely lucky to have him in our squad in League One because he’s at least a Championship player and he’s proved that.”

However, he is yet to get any game time for the Light Blues this season, and after making the bench for the Scottish Premiership opener with Aberdeen, failed to make the next three squads.

Some Dundee United fans reckon Murphy would be a decent acquisition for their side, albeit with caution needed over his injury record:
