Liverpool are lining up a £3million summer swoop for Rangers kid Danny Wilson.
SunSport can reveal the Kop giants have been monitoring the brilliant 18-year-old defender's progress this season.
Now they have decided they will wade in with a bid for the centre-back, who is in the frame to be Scotland's Young Player of the Year.
That will rock reigning champs Gers, who were desperate to tie Wilson up on a long-term deal this week.
The youngster - also being tracked by Spurs, Manchester City and Aston Villa - has just 15 months to run on his current deal.
The Gers hierarchy tied up his team-mate John Fleck until 2013 earlier this week.
Wilson's contract, though, remains unsigned and Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez is ready to test Rangers' resolve in the summer.
If the hot property has not put pen to paper on a new deal by then it seems certain the champs will elect to cash in on a talent developed at Murray Park rather than watch him quit for buttons.
Wilson suffered a setback earlier this month with a red card in the Co-operative Insurance Cup Final triumph over St Mirren but he has been in sparkling form for Gers as crocked Madjid Bougherra's stand-in.
Now the Kop interest throws those crunch contract talks into focus as Rangers gear up for the run-in to two-in-a-row.
