However, earlier in the month the News of the World reported that Rangers would accept bids of £8 million pounds from Hutton's list of admirers including; Liverpool, Arsenal, Newcastle and Man United.
Hutton made his name predominantly from Scotland's unsuccessful Euro 2008 qualifying campaign, especially in the Tartan army's clash against world champions Italy. The game saw Hutton put in a heroic performance defensively as well as displaying his attack minded full back role.
It is no surprise that there is a list of clubs waiting to snatch him up even with his £8 million price tag. In my opinion, Man United are favourites to sign the Scotland international because of the presence of fellow Scotsmen Darren Fletcher and Sir Alex Ferguson but that is not to rule out any of the other above clubs from trying to secure the 23 year olds' signature.
