Scottish Premiership side Rangers are considering a move for Motherwell midfielder Elliot Watt as the January transfer window approaches, according to multiple reports. The 25-year-old has been a regular figure for Motherwell this season, drawing interest following consistent league performances. Any potential transfer would require negotiations between the two clubs, with no agreement yet in place.
Sources close to the situation say Rangers have monitored Watt’s progress in recent weeks as they assess midfield options. The Glasgow club is understood to be exploring reinforcements as part of wider squad planning, though no formal bid has been confirmed. Officials at Rangers have declined to comment on individual transfer targets.
Watt joined Motherwell FC after previous spells at St Johnstone and a youth career that included time with Rangers earlier in his development. Since arriving at Fir Park, he has established himself as a dependable presence in midfield, contributing both defensively and in build-up play, according to match data released by the club.
Motherwell, meanwhile, are not believed to be actively seeking to sell the player midway through the season. Club representatives have indicated in recent weeks that maintaining squad stability remains a priority, particularly as the team looks to consolidate its league position.
At Ibrox, Rangers are balancing domestic ambitions with European commitments, and recruitment decisions are expected to factor in both immediate needs and longer-term squad depth. Any move for Watt would be subject to valuation, contract considerations, and the player’s own stance.
No timetable has been set for a potential transfer, and discussions, if they progress, are expected to remain internal for now.
