New Rangers<\/a> owner Craig Whyte has confirmed that the club is bidding for Aston Villa<\/a> defender Carlos Cuellar<\/a>, but the recent appointment of Alex McLeish<\/a> as manager means the move has been delayed.<\/p>\n

McLeish, himself a former Rangers boss of five years until 2006, is understood to be considering his transfer strategy after making the move from local rivals Birmingham.<\/p>\n

Whyte told skysports.com<\/em>: \u201cWe’ve made a bid for Cuellar, but, with their managerial change, it has slowed there a bit.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Glasgow club are understood to have had an initial bid of \u00a31.5 million for the Spaniard rejected.<\/p>\n

Villa have reportedly placed a valuation of \u00a33m on Cuellar, and are unwilling to sell for anything below that, as winger Ashley Young is also on the verge of being sold to Manchester United.<\/p>\n

Ally McCoist, who inherited the manager\u2019s post at Ibrox at the end of last season from mentor Walter Smith, is keen to re-sign the former Osasuna central defender, who spent a year as a Rangers player in 2007-08 before joining Villa in a \u00a37.8m deal.<\/p>\n

The attempt to sign Cuellar comes in spite of his current knee injury.<\/p>\n
