Striker Thomas Mullen will train with Rangers next week

Rangers will run the rule over Scotland under-19’s striker Thomas Mullen next week as Walter Smith looks to bolster his attacking options for the future.

The young forward is available on a free transfer from Nottingham Forest after being told he is surplus to requirements by Billy Davies.

Mullen was a standout performer last season for the Nottingham Forest youth team, scoring 17 goals, making him the academy’s top scorer.

Interests ensued from Everton and Blackburn, but at the time Forest were keen to hold on to the player.

He’s now been released as part of a clearout with another six youth players and could make the move to Glasgow if the trial goes well.

Mullen has made several appearances for the Scottish youth squads, most notably against Norway and Estonia.

The youth player would be unlikely to see any first team football this season if the deal to Ibrox is made, as he’s considered to be ‘one for the future’.

Rangers will be keen to source a more immediate solution to the imminent departure of Kenny Miller.

David Goodwillie has been touted for a move to Ibrox if Miller completes a likely switch to Birmingham.
