Reds close in on WilsonRangers youngster poised for Anfield switch
Sky Sports News understands that Liverpool are on the brink of signing defender Danny Wilson from Rangers.
Ibrox manager Walter Smith revealed to Sky Sports News reporter David Tanner that the two clubs are in advanced stages of discussions and have only the transfer fee left to agree on.
Smith also said the move could be sealed as soon as Tuesday evening, which would leave 18-year-old Wilson free to link up with the Reds at their Switzerland training camp.
Centre-back Wilson came through the youth ranks at the Ibrox club before penning his first professional contract there three years ago.
He will not join the Rangers squad that will fly out to Australia for their pre-season tour on Tuesday night due to a slight hamstring injury.

Rangers assistant manager Ally McCoist confirms Danny Wilson on verge of Liverpool moveRangers assistant manager Ally McCoist has confirmed promising centre back Danny Wilson is close to a move to Liverpool.
Wilson, 18, emerged into the first-team picture at Ibrox last term and was awarded the Scottish Football Association Young Player of the Year trophy. This potential alerted the Reds to his ability and on Tuesday he did not travel with his Rangers team-mates for their tour of Australia.
The Scotland youth international is expected to undergo a medical at Liverpool's Melwood training ground tomorrow before he joins up with the rest of the squad for their pre-season preparations in Switzerland. An initial fee of £2 million rising to £5 million is understood to have been enough to convince the cash strapped Scottish Premier League champions to sell the starlet.
Speaking to Sky Sports News, McCoist confirmed negotiations to bring the teenager south of the border were on-going.
"I think the first thing you have to accept is that they are signing potential," McCoist said.
"But, there's a whole load of potential as he came in for us last season and played a lot more games than we thought he would due to Madjid Bougherra not being 100 per cent fit a lot of the time.
"He came in and handled himself superbly well. Obviously, we had high hopes for Danny, Danny's got high hopes for Danny and Liverpool can see the potential there.
"If the deal is a done deal we would wish Danny all the best, but I still think there is a bit of work to be done."
