Rangers agree to sign striker Thompson

Rangers have agreed to sign striker Steven Thompson from Dundee United when the transfer window opens.

The Scotland international will complete the formalities of the deal tomorrow.

The 24-year-old has been high on the list of targets for Light Blues manager Alex McLeish as he seeks to bolster his strike force.

Ex-Scotland international Billy Dodds moved in the opposite direction yesterday.

Thompson, 24, has scored nine times for the Tangerines this season and once for the national team.
