Motherwell boss Robinson on Dundee win, Turnbull & Hastie

Winger Jake Hastie has agreed a pre-contract to join Rangers from Scottish Premiership rivals Motherwell.

Hastie, 20, has scored seven goals in 14 Motherwell games this term, having netted four in 23 for Alloa Athletic in the first half of the campaign.

He has also won his first Scotland Under-21 caps in recent months.

Ibrox manager Steven Gerrard admitted his interest in Hastie on Friday and added on Sunday: "It will be announced very soon."

However, the former Liverpool captain said he could not "shed any light" on reports Greg Stewart, on loan at Aberdeen from Birmingham City, has agreed a pre-contract to join Rangers in the summer.

After making his Motherwell debut in 2016, Hastie was sent on loan to League One Airdrieonians last season and started the current campaign at Championship outfit Alloa.

Upon returning to Fir Park in January, Hastie became a regular in Stephen Robinson's team and scored five goals in his first six games.

Speaking after Motherwell's 4-3 win over Dundee, manager Robinson refused to confirm the move, saying "I don't announce other people's deals".

He did, however, confirmed that Hastie would not be signing new Motherwell contract.
