Reports linking Rangers with a late move for Everton midfielder Mo Besic have prompted mixed reactions from Gers supporters.
Sportske.ba claimed that a loan deal is on the cards and it was later rumoured elsewhere that the player was on his way to Rangers for a medical.

Speaking at a press conference on Friday, Steven Gerrard denied that a medical was taking place but didn’t specifically deny interest in the player.
“Listen, I’m not going to be mentioning any names here,” he said, as quoted by the Daily Record. “Someone has just asked me if Mo Besic is up in Glasgow having a medical with Rangers. That would be news to me if he was.”
Besic has been at Everton since 2014 but has had injury problems in the past and spent the last two seasons out on loan at Middlesbrough and Sheffield United.
He’s experienced at international level, though, racking up 45 caps for Bosnia and Herzegovina, who he represented at the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
The 28-year-old is more a defensive-minded player than other Rangers-linked midfielders like Daniel Johnson of Preston and he’s never scored a Premier League goal, but his tough-tackling style would bring more bite to the Gers engine room.
Some supporters have suggested that they would be delighted if he was snapped up prior to Monday night’s deadline, while others are less enthused.
Here’s a selection of reactions from Twitter:
