Reliable journalist; Rangers move back in for previous target

With January business on the horizon in earnest, player names are starting to arrive thick and fast on our desk, and the generally reliable Bill Young of RockSport Radio has claimed Rangers are back in for Kilmarnock’s Jordan Jones and the Northern Ireland international will either sign a pre-contract in the winter window or join Rangers for a fee.

Steven Gerrard’s have injury concerns on the flanks with Ryan Kent’s state of play unknown (albeit he was at training on Monday), while Glenn Middleton remains raw and inexperienced, so bringing in a top-quality international wouldn’t be the worst move at all.

Jones still has some developing to do, at 24, but not a lot, and he is certainly approaching peak maturity – his deal at Rugby Park reportedly expires in the summer and Rangers would do well to secure him for a modest fee.

With four assists in 13 SPL matches, Jones is certainly capable of creating albeit disappointingly despite Killie incredibly topping the table, he’s not nabbed any goals. He managed four last campaign.

We will see in due course if this comes to anything.
