Time is running out for Steven Gerrard to bolster his Rangers squad ahead of the transfer deadline on Friday.
With the exception of Jermain Defoe, who had already been on loan with the club since January 2019 before he signed a pre-contract agreement to join permanently in the summer, the Gers have failed to bring a single new face into the club this month and it seems unlikely that any major business will be concluded before the deadline passes.
However, the club are reportedly considering the possibility of allowing Brandon Barker and Jordan Jones to leave this week in order to free up resources for an incoming signing, per Daily Record.
The report claims both players are considered surplus to requirements at Ibrox and clubs south of the border have been alerted to their availability.
While both players have found themselves on the fringes of the senior squad this season – with Jones starting just 2 SPFL fixtures so far – playing the fans seem particularly disgruntled by the prospect of Jones’ departure.
In response to the reports, these fans suggested Barker is welcome to leave but insisted they want to see Jones remain in Glasgow.
This fan, meanwhile, took a seemingly more tongue-in-cheek approach to the situation, suggesting that Jones’ departure could cost the club the league.
Or perhaps he was being deadly serious after all…
Another fan simply expressed their bewilderment at the report and hinted Gerrard could be about to make a very foolish decision indeed.
Finally, another fan claimed that Rangers should be looking to offload Sheyi Ojo and send him back to Liverpool instead of getting rid of Jones.
Given the former has played 13 more SPFL fixtures than Jones this season, it would be a huge surprise if Gerrard made a u-turn before the transfer deadline.
