David Goodwillie approcach confirmed

DUNDEE United manager Peter Houston has confirmed Rangers have made an enquiry about David Goodwillie. But he believes the asking price for the striker could prove to be too expensive for the Scottish champions.

Reports suggest the Tannadice club are looking for 2million for the 22-year-old, who netted 19 goals last season.

New Rangers manager Ally McCoist has yet to make his first signing since taking over the helm from Walter Smith. He has already lost out on Tomer Hemed, who snubbed a move to Ibrox in favour of Real Mallorca, and appears to have turned his attention to Goodwillie.

Houston said: "There haven't been any bids for him. What has happened is that Rangers have contacted our chairman (Stephen Thompson], who is on holiday in Florida, and asked our valuation of the player. Our chairman has told Rangers what our valuation of the player is.

"At the moment I think it's too expensive for Rangers so we wait and see what happens."

Meanwhile, Craig Conway will join Cardiff City after agreeing a three-year deal with the Championship side. The 26-year-old had been lined up to join Watford by new manager Malky McKay before his own move to Wales last week. The former Dundee United winger, who also attracted interest from Rangers, held talks with the Welsh club yesterday and has sealed a deal to head south.
