As Rangers continue to reshape the squad under Russell Martin, one name rising rapidly on the radar is Liverpool left-back Owen Beck. The 21-year-old Welshman is reportedly attracting strong interest from Ibrox after an impressive campaign that saw him excel in Scotland and further his development down south.
A Breakout Spell at Dundee
Beck spent the first half of season 2023/2024 on loan at Dundee, quickly becoming a fan favourite. His explosive runs down the left flank, pinpoint deliveries, and willingness to battle defensively helped propel Dundee into the top half of the table. With 28 appearances and two goals, Beck’s consistency and maturity defied his age — so much so that he was recalled early by Liverpool and later named in the Scottish Premiership Team of the Season despite only playing half the campaign.
That recall was seen as a blow to Dundee, and a sign that Liverpool recognised they had a serious talent on their hands.
Steady Growth at Blackburn
After returning to Merseyside, Beck soon found himself loaned back out — this time to Blackburn Rovers in the Championship. There, he added another 23 appearances and a goal to his tally, building his physical strength and positional awareness in one of the most demanding leagues in Europe.
What’s clear is that Beck is growing with every move, and that makes the current links to Rangers all the more exciting for the Ibrox faithful.
Could He Be Gers’ Next First-Choice?
The left-back situation at Rangers is far from settled. Ridvan Yilmaz, while talented, has struggled with fitness and remains the subject of interest from Turkish clubs. Jefte, the young Brazilian, showed flashes of brilliance last season but is still raw and inconsistent.

In that context, Beck could arrive not just as another body in the squad — but as a genuine contender to start. His experience in Scottish football already gives him a head start, and he’s played under Russell Martin before at England U21 level, adding a layer of trust and familiarity that can’t be overlooked.
Investing in players like Owen Beck isn’t just about short-term success. It’s about building a squad that’s dynamic, energetic, and capable of playing the high-tempo, high-pressing football Russell Martin is known for.
Beck fits that profile. He’s quick, technically sharp, and aggressive in both phases of play. If a deal can be struck, it might just prove to be one of the most important signings of the summer — and a signal that Rangers are getting serious about recruiting smart, modern players with resale value and hunger.
Watch This Space
Reports suggest Rangers are weighing up a loan move or even a permanent bid depending on how Liverpool view Beck’s long-term pathway. With Champions League qualifiers around the corner and a packed domestic schedule ahead, adding quality and depth at full-back is crucial.
If Owen Beck does walk out at Ibrox this summer, expect the fans to welcome him with open arms — and expect him to hit the ground running.
