Rangers fans have called for the club to go all out to complete a deal to sign Morgan Whittaker from Plymouth Argyle this summer.

This comes after Football Insider revealed that the club are readying a move to sign the 23-year-old winger after missing out in 2023.

The Glasgow club looked to make a move when Whittaker left Swansea, but their offer was rebuffed and he ended up making the move to Argyle.

Last season, he bagged 20 goals and provided nine assists in all competitions, and the recruitment team at Ibrox have reignited their interest.

However, there have been questions about the transfer budget at Rangers after Philippe Clement confirmed they would have to sell to buy.

Football Insider previously revealed that Wolves and Brentford are among the clubs attempting to sign Whittaker in this window.

Despite the Premier League interest, however, Rangers fans have insisted the winger would make an "excellent" addition to Philippe Clement's squad, demanding they get a deal over the line.

Morgan Whittaker would be an excellent signing for Rangers. He’s a quick and creative winger, who was instrumental in keeping Plymouth Argyle up last season scoring 19 goals with eight assists. Rangers have been crying out for a natural right-winger for years. pic.twitter.com/rHCC5vSEQu

Morgan Whittaker? But for 4 times what we refused to pay one and a half years ago. It’s very Rangers. But I’m all for it!

We wouldn’t pay over £2m for Whittaker last January now we will be paying way more than double

Cracking player and would be a brilliant signing

But just so Rangers https://t.co/ctKLIy2us0

I really like Whittaker. Continued to watch him after we were linked. Not allowing myself to believe we’d get him.

Numbers are impressive and if he wants the move it should be manageable. Not at 7m though.
