Ipswich have accepted an offer from Rangers for goalkeeper Neil Alexander.

The 29-year-old Scotland international will now hold talks with the Clydesdale Bank Premier League leaders.

Ipswich are poised to sign a goalkeeper from the Barclays Premier League as his replacement.

Alexander has been an ever-present in the Ipswich goal so far this season, making 29 starts, and proved his quality again with a penalty save against Plymouth last night.

He is expected to become deputy to Allan McGregor if he completes a move to Rangers.

Ipswich boss Jim Magilton told official club website: "It is a dream move for Neil and we wouldn't stand in his way.

"He is back in the Scotland national squad and we are aware that he is very keen to push his international ambitions and a move back to Scotland will enhance that.

"We are now lining up a replacement from the Premiership and are confident we will have a new 'keeper in place inside the next 24 hours."
