Crystal Palace defender Adrian Mariappa is contemplating an offer to link up with his former mentor Mark Warburton at Rangers, according to the Daily Express.

The 29-year-old, who is out pf contract with Palace this summer, progressed through Watford's youth ranks when the current Rangers manager was the Hornets' academy chief.

Mariappa has already held talks with Rangers assistant Davie Weir and head of recruitment Frank McParland over the weekend and he is believed to be assessing his options ahead of a potential shift to Glasgow.
