Seven figures: Rangers target hikes up in cost; reports

Following the reported £600,000 bid Rangers are said to have submitted for Hamilton’s Greg Docherty, it has emerged the Superseal side have hiked the asking price up for the future Scottish international and now demand close to a million.

Numbers reported vary between £600k and close to seven figures, but evidently Hamilton are aware of this lad’s value and are not going to let him go cheap.

Quite honestly, unless it goes to a stupid fee, Rangers should pay it. After all, we ourselves have rejected a £500K bid from Preston for Josh Windass so evidently we are starting to understand the worth of players and Docherty is a player and a half.

Rangers would be a tad fortunate to pick Docherty up for anything under £700K and Hamilton do not need to sell; there is also the slight threat of Cardiff coming in and outbidding, but the player wants to stay in Scotland so he would personally resist that move.

This is one that must not rumble on like Rangers transfer sagas often do. It should be sorted and agreed within 24 hours or we move on.
