Newly appointed Rangers boss Mark Warburton is set to return to Griffin Park to take two of his former players to Ibrox, according to reports in the Scotsman.

The ex-Bees boss wants to make midfielder Stuart Dalls his first summer signing at his new club and is set to test Brentford's resolve with a bid of £1.5 million.

The Northern Ireland international has two years left on his contract at Griffin Park and netted eight goals in 44 appearances last season, as the Bees qualified for the Championship play-offs with a fifth-placed finish.

It is thought that the seven-figure price tag will not put the Scottish giants off, with incoming chairman Dave King pledging to splash the cash.

Warburton is also keen on taking out-of-contract defender Alfie Mawson north of the border, with the club being short on defenders at present.

Rangers released the majority of last season's back line at the end of last season and Mawson, who spent the 2014/15 campaign on loan with League Two side Wycombe Wanderers, is high on Warburton's list of targets.
