Ayr set for Marenghi deal

Ayr boss Mark Roberts looks set to pull off somewhat of a transfer coup with the signing of youngster Anthony Marenghi.

The midfielder is currently a free agent after being released by Rangers following the club's financial problems and has impressed during a trial at Somerset Park. Marenghi, who came through the youth system at Ibrox after a brief spell at bitter rivals Celtic, has reportedly been eyed by a number of clubs having shone for the Gers reserves. However, he now looks set to join the Honest Men, much to the delight of player/manager Roberts who says he's been impressed by what he's seen of the youngster.
