Rangers are reportedly interested in a £5m move for Leeds United striker Kemar Roofe [Scottish Sun] should the Ibrox club sell Alfredo Morelos.
Steven Gerrard has also reiterated that Rangers won’t deal for less than a “really big offer” for the Colombian striker.
But should Morelos move on and Roofe move in, what does that mean for Rangers high-profile reported interest in Andre Gray?
The £18.5m Watford striker was linked with a loan move to Rangers at the beginning of the transfer window and had fans salivating at the prospect.
But similarly to numerous transfer reports this summer, it may well have all been hot air.
Steven Gerrard certainly suggested so.

But normally reliable club insider Four Lads Had a Dream suggested that interest in Gray was “definitely real”.
Gray is an established Premier League forward and the likelihood of Rangers convincing him to come north of the border seems fantastical at best.
Kemar Roofe appears a much more viable option, with the £5m quoted affordable in the event of the club selling Morelos.
Any deal could be helped by the fact Roofe only has one year left on his Leeds contract.
Whatever the case, it’s reassuring that Rangers have contingency plans in the event of Alfredo Morelos leaving the club.
It lets fans know that whether it’ll be Andre Gray, Kemar Roofe, Daniel Sturridge or even Alfredo Morelos himself, Rangers will be fully stocked up front next season.
