STEVEN GERRARD is closing in on his 13th signing as Rangers boss as winger Eros Grezda gets set to complete a £2million move from Osijek.

The Albanian international has emerged as a target for Gerrard following the injury to winger Jamie Murphy that ruled him out of action for the remainder of the campaign.

The 28-year-old suffered knee ligament damage in the Betfred Cup win over Kilmarnock and won’t play again this term as Gerrard was hit with a cruel injury blow just weeks into the new season.

That has left Rangers with only youngster Glenn Middleton as backup to wide men Daniel Candeias and Ryan Kent, who moved north of the border on a season-long loan deal from Liverpool earlier in the window.

Gerrard confirmed after the Premiership draw with Motherwell on Sunday that he was hopeful of adding a defender to his squad in the coming days to provide competition for Connor Goldson and Nikola Katic.

But it is Grezda who is set to become the next man through the door at Ibrox after he travelled to Glasgow to finalise a deal with the Light Blues.

Rangers have already snapped up full-back Borna Barisic from Osijek after he clinched a £1.5million switch just days after Gerrard’s side knocked the Croatian cracks out of the Europa League at the second round stage.

And now Grezda is set to follow his former team-mate in making the switch from the Stadion Gradski to Ibrox before the transfer window closes on Friday night.

The 23-year-old did not feature in either leg of the qualifying clash due to injury but Gers fans will soon get to see him in action.

Grezda only moved to Osijek in May last year from NK Lokomotiva and has also been on the books of Zavr? and NK Aluminij.
