RANGERS hope to win the race for Fleetwood’s flying striker Devante Cole.
The Glasgow club want to agree a pre-contract with the 22-year-old.
His Cod Army deal runs out at the end of the season and they plan to beat Sheffield United and Millwall to his signature.
The Blades and Lions have been unable to agree a fee to take Cole — son of Premier League legend Andy — to the Championship, so that has left the door open for Gers to offer him a chance to join them.
Cole, who also endured a miserable spell at Bradford before being flogged to Fleetwood, featured for the Cod Army in their 0-0 FA Cup draw with Leicester on Saturday.
Fleetwood almost grabbed a dramatic late winner in injury-time when Ashley Hunter let fly from the edge of the box and the ball bounced back off the right post and into the grateful arms of Eldin Jakupovic.
Jamie Vardy’s fairytale return to Fleetwood ended in a big anti-climax as he was forced to sit out the game with a groin injury.
And he watched on with his wife Rebekah and one-year-old son Finley Jaiden as his Leicester team struggled against the League One minnows.
