Rangers considering bid for Blackpool defender Curtis Tilt?

Blackpool defender Curtis Tilt has reportedly emerged as a possible transfer target for Rangers.

Since officially taking over at Ibrox in June, Steven Gerrard has been keen to strengthen his defence but Rangers have been knocked back in their efforts to sign Jake Cooper from Millwall.

That could lead to Gerrard having to look elsewhere and according to The Scottish Sun, Tilt could be given the opportunity to move north of the border.

Tilt has just spent a season representing Blackpool in League One, with 42 appearances coming for the Seasiders, but the last campaign was the 26-year-old's first outside of non-league football.

The centre-back - who has also attracted interest from Ipswich Town - has a year remaining on his contract at Bloomfield Road.
