Reading look set to miss out on left-back target James Maxwell, according to reports.
The Rangers full-back, formerly of Falkirk, played almost 40 times last season- predominantly for Rangers B, but is now without a club.
Still only 20, the Scotland youth international was released from the giants and has attracted interest from multiple clubs this summers.
Football Scotland report that the Royals were one of three main interested parties, but the teenager looks set to join League Two Doncaster Rovers.
Paul Ince has said that left-back remains a priority this summer, with former AFC Wimbledon star Nesta Guinness-Walker on trial and featuring in the last two friendlies in that position.
Just 10 days remain until the beginning of the Championship campaign, with one warm-up fixture remaining against Premier League Brighton and Hove Albion.
Ince has brought in seven players so far, including trialist Sam Hutchinson this afternoon.
