Dundee United midfielder Craig Conway is said to be high on Middlesbrough manager Gordon Strachan's wanted list in the summer.
The versatile 24-year-old can play on either flank and he was watched by Boro scouts as Dundee Utd beat Motherwell 3-2 last weekend with Conway netting the third.
Rangers boss Walter Smith is also known to be an admirer but it is thought that Boro would be able to match or even better any wage offer the the SPL Champions elect would be able to offer.
