Rangers are reportedly set to raid Sheffield Wednesday yet again, this time for a new goalkeeper.

Russell Martin has already taken Djeidi Gassama from the Owls in a £2.2million deal.

And now the wide man cold be reunited with former Hillsborough teammate Pierce Charles.

The Northern Irish international keeper is on the Ibrox wanted list according to reports down south and is said to be keen on the move.

Martin had warned that it was a position he was looking to recruit in, although a loan move for Brighton’s Carl Rushworth won’t be happening.

Focus has now shifted to Charles, 19, as Martin looks to deepen his options between the sticks, having rotated between Liam Kelly and Jack Butland so far during pre-season.

Charles has two years left in his Wednesday contract and made 13 appearance in total for the South Yorkshire club last season.

However, given the club’s well documented financial issues over the summer, they’ve had to shed a number of experienced players and Charles looks like being first choice for the 2025/26 campaign.

He he admitted last month that there was nothing that could make him leave Wednesday this summer, so Rangers may have a job on their hands convincing him to make the move to Glasgow.

“I don’t really pay any heed to it. If it comes round, it comes round,” he told the Belfast Telegraph. “I’m so happy at Sheffield Wednesday right now. There’s nothing that could make me leave at this point. I’m playing and I’m really happy there”
