Cardiff about to get a Burke?

The Rangers official website have confirmed that midfielder Chris Burke is being linked with a move to Cardiff City.



I don't know much about him but the stats show he came through the ranks at Rangers, is 25 years old and scored 14 goals in 81 starts plus 35 sub appearences for the Ibrox club. However, he has suffered injuries and missed a season with a mystery virus. This term, he has played just 1 hour of first team football including half hour in a 3-0 win at Inverness last weekend. Burke also scored the only goal in a private friendly with Morton today but would appear to be a gamble if indeed City are looking to take him.

Having failed in Europe this season and falling behind Celtic in the chase for domestic honours, Rangers are conducting a firesale and made it known that they would listen to offers for a number of players, Burke included. The clubs seem to conduct business regularly these days with Thommo and Gavin Rae coming to Wales and Glenn Loovens going the other.
