The Scottish Sun reported earlier in the week that Rangers were readying a third bid for George Edmundson.
After continued rejection, though, a report in the Daily Express, suggests the Gers could be on the verge of giving up altogether.
It’s also claimed that offers from Wigan Atheltic and Hull City have also been turned down as recently as yesterday.
There is a suggestion that if the Latics refuse to budge, Gerrard could go down a different route.
Presuming no other club provides an acceptable offer, the Gers could leave the deal for now and attempt to sign Edmundson on a pre-contract in January.
That would, of course, cut down on the financial risk of the transfer.
With the Gers badly in need of reinforcements at centre-back ahead of the new season, though, the preference is surely to get a deal over the line in this window.
