Fowler linked with Rangers switch

Fowler started his career with Liverpool in 1993

Former England striker Robbie Fowler would welcome an approach from Rangers, according to a report in The Herald.

An unnamed representative of the 32-year-old free agent told the newspaper: "Robbie wants to play for Rangers. It would be ideal for him.

"He wants to come and add medals to his collection. It would be a major boost for the fans.

"He could score the goals that would qualify them for the Champions League. The signing would pay for itself."

Fowler, who has also been linked with Celtic and a move to the US, is looking for a new club, having been released by Liverpool.
