According to a report in the Scottish media, Rangers boss Walter Smith is keen to bring in Holman on a season-long loan from AZ Alkmaar.

Holman, the subject of so much abuse prior to the World Cup in South Africa, emerged as one of the Socceroos' top performers at the tournament.

He scored Australia's goal in the 1-1 draw with Ghana and then netted a cracker in the 2-1 win against Serbia.
