Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos has reportedly been the subject of an eleventh-hour bid from Championship side West Brom [Daily Record].
The Slaven Bilic led outfit are eager to bring in a striker before tonight’s deadline with the Colombian apparently fitting the bill.
But Rangers have reportedly rejected the offer – which is said to be to the tune of £10m+. And Rangers fans have been baulking at the low-ball offer.

You get the picture. Gers fans are not interested in their prized asset being sold to clubs for a knockdown price.
The reported £25m transfer fee of Kieran Tierney has also been the subject of much debate as a comparison.
Morelos hit 30 goals in Scotland whilst Tierney has had much-publicised injury problems for the last couple of seasons.
The notion that Rangers would sell the Colombian – given his immense influence on the side – for a measly £10m is fantastical, to say the least.
However, the report suggests West Brom may well return with another bid later in the transfer window.
But they’ll need to quick – the English Premier League and Championship windows shut at 5 pm today.
Morelos is also currently in Denmark preparing for a Europa League qualifier with FC Midtjylland.
