Birmingham City are favourites to sign Rangers midfielder Niko Kranjcar, according to the latest betting odds.  

Leading bookmaker Bet Victor have priced the 32-year-old attacker at 2/1 to make a switch to the Championship club, who are managed by his former boss Harry Redknapp.

The former Tottenham manager took charge of the Midlands club for the last three matches of the season and helped them survive relegation on the last day of the campaign.

Redknapp has since agreed to stay on at the club and if he were to add Kranjcar to his ranks in the summer then it would be the fourth time the duo have worked together during their careers.

The 70-year-old managed the highly-rated playmaker during his time at Spurs, Portsmouth and most recently Queens Park Rangers.

Kranjcar moved to Ibrox last summer when then Gers manager Mark Warburton brought him to the club on a free transfer after his contract with American second-tier side the New York Cosmos expired.

However, after only nine Scottish Premiership appearances for the recently promoted club, Kranjcar suffered a season-ending cruciate ligament injury.

As a result, he was not able to help his side, who struggled for form and consistency throughout the campaign, mount a serious title challenge with their Old Firm rivals Celtic running away with the title.

Nonetheless, during his time at the club, Kranjcar has made 15 appearances in all competitions, scoring three goals and supplying the same amount of assists.
