Newcastle lead Premier League chase for Rangers defender Cuellar
Rangers face a summer battle to keep Carlos Cuellar at Ibrox, with Newcastle among Premiership suitors admiring the Spaniard.
Kevin Keegan was at Ibrox last night to watch the central defender - the Newcastle manager's second visit inside a month, after he and assistant Terry McDermott attended the 2-0 victory over Werder Bremen in the previous round.

Making an impression: Rangers defender Carlos Cuellar (right) has been interesting a number of clubs south of the border
Keegan is on record as saying there are a number of SPL players who could make the leap to the Premiership and Northern Ireland international Steven Davis, on loan to Rangers from Fulham, is another being monitored by the Geordies.
But it is Cuellar's form that has made him both a hot property and a top tip for Player of the Year awards - and Rangers are now almost certain to receive bids for the Spaniard when the summer transfer window opens.
Tottenham raided Glasgow to land Alan Hutton for £9million in January and the one certainty is that the central defender's price will rise above the £2.2m paid to Osasuna last July.
