Earlier this week, a report in the Express claimed that Rangers are interested in Millwall right-back, Mahlon Romeo.
The Antigua and Barbuda international is rated at £450k by Transfermarkt, and is currently a regular with the Championship outfit.
However, contrary to a suggestion in the initial report, the 23-year-old will not be picked up on a pre-contract agreement.

He shouldn’t be distracted by the reports. Right now, his main focus has to be getting fit and earning himself a debut – sooner, rather than later.
