Grant Holt: Bid made to Norwich

Sky Bet

Scottish champions Rangers have made a deadline day bid for Norwich City captain Grant Holt, Sky Sports understands.

Gers boss Ally McCoist has seen leading marksman Nikica Jelavic agree a deal with Everton, and he will complete his move to Merseyside on Tuesday.

McCoist has made Holt his number one target and is now hoping some of the Jelavic money will be used to lure him to Glasgow.

Sky Sports now understands that a firm offer has been lodged with the Norfolk club, who have already stressed they would not want to lose the 30-year-old.

Holt has been with Norwich since 2009 and is a huge fans' favourite, scoring 61 goals in 112 games.
