Revelations emanating from the corridors of Black Stars captain, John Mensah points to the fact that reigning Scottish league leaders Rangers are pursuing the strongman.

The Scottish giants have expressed keen interest in the Ghana captain and indications are that Mensah is considering all the options.

Rangers, the newly-crowned SPL champions, after emerging tops with 93 points and beating rivals Celtic with just a point, want to fortify the squad ahead of next season's Champions League, hence the interest in the Black Stars skipper.

'It is true that Rangers have expressed interest in John, but we are looking at other offers and taking into consideration the price tag before making a move,' Fabien Piveteau, the player's agent said in an interview.

According to the agent, a top-notch Greece side has also expressed interest in the defender.

'We have to sit with John's former club-Lyon for a better deal for both parties, for now, we are just considering some factors before taking the next plan of action,' Fabien added.

Steve Bruce rested Mensah in their last game against relegated West Ham when the Black Cats snatched a 3-0 away win.

The decision to rest the libero was to allow him enough rest for the Black Stars assignments in the next few days.

Mensah is expected home from his UK base tomorrow for the Michael Essien peace match involving African XI and World XI.
