Clint Hill

FREED QPR warhorse Clint Hill is set to become Rangers’ latest shock signing.

 

SunSport understands Ibrox gaffer Mark Warburton wants hardman Hill — 38 in October — to pen a one-year deal and add experience to his defence for next season’s top-flight return.

 

It’s a stunning move for the stopper who, in a 19-year career, has made almost 600 competitive appearances under top bosses like Tony Pulis, Neil Warnock, Mark Hughes and Harry Redknapp.

 

Hill also comes highly recommended by the Light Blues’ biggest signing of the summer so far, Joey Barton, who was a team-mate at Loftus Road.

 

Warbs believes Hill will be another big influence for his younger players at Ibrox and bolster the bid to challenge Celtic, who are going for six-in-a-row.

 

The Gers gaffer — still in talks to improve his current three-year deal — views Hill the same way as Walter Smith did Davie Weir in 2007, signing the centre-half when he was a few months short of his 37th birthday and then getting magnificent service out of him.

 

As well as QPR, Hill has played for Stoke, Oldham, Tranmere, Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest.

 

Another former QPR team-mate Niko Kranjcar is Ibrox-bound, too, with SunSport revealing he has accepted the offer of a two-year deal to leave New York Cosmos.

 

Warburton, meanwhile, is also chasing a new keeper and a striker.

 

Nicky Clark, Dean Shiels, David Templeton and Nicky Law have already been released, with Cammy Bell set to follow.

I suspect he would do well. Certainly well suited to the Scottish game.

If all these various deals come to fruition we're going to be fielding a formidable first 11 significantly stronger than I imagined we would have when promotion was secured. With the defence beginning to be secured and the midfield already sprinkled with steel and creativity all it would need now is another quality striker and even if that didn't happen given the attacking displays turned in by this team last season I would still be confident of mounting a strong challenge.

 

Warburton is full of surprises. I had no idea at the start of last season that in a matter of no more than 3 weeks or so according to one director that he could patch together such a powerful team and even after the great season we have had he is further surprising me with the impressive side he is carefully constructing rather than hurriedly patching together like last season.

 

Given how impressive the football he got out of that patchwork side was think what we're going to be seeing this time round with a more talented, more experienced and constructed team. It's mouthwatering to contemplate. For us that is, intimidating for others to contemplate.
