RANGERS manager Steven Gerrard described a proposed £8million bid for Alfredo Morelos as "disrespectful" as the Rangers manager again insisted his top goal-scorer was not for sale during this transfer window. "He’s the top scorer in the league and there have been players who have gone for double that amount that don’t scorers many goals as him," said Gerrard. "So I think it’s very disrespectful first and foremost to Alfredo, to the club and me third."

Aberdeen boss Derek McInnes has defended his club's signing of Greg Stewart, after Kilmarnock manager Steve Clarke said the deal had "a slightly strange smell, right from the start". McInnes said: "Some you win and some you lose, but underlying everything the boy wanted to come and it was Greg's decision where he went. He could have stayed at Birmingham, he could have gone back to Kilmarnock or to us and we are delighted he came to us."

Craig Levein is hopeful the sight of Hearts’ physiotherapy room emptying can herald a return to the scintillating form that made the Jambos a force to be reckoned with in the opening weeks of the campaign. "We’re starting to look solid again and with options in the team," said the Hearts manager. "I feel good about that side of things and it would be my hope we could get back to the level of consistency we enjoyed earlier in the season."

Hibernian head coach Neil Lennon has underlined the similarities between loan capture Stephane Omeonga and World Cup winner N’Golo Kante after expressing surprise that the capital club were able to snap up the Genoa starlet. "He’s a bit like [N’Golo] Kante," said Lennon. "He gets around the pitch and, although he’s diminutive in size, he’s strong and reads the game well. He’s really effervescent, he doesn’t stop running and tactically he is very good."

Celtic midfielder Ryan Christie has said that having a famous father felt like a hindrance when he was younger, but he now fully appreciates the extra coaching sessions and wisdom his dad is able to impart. "My dad coached me and I thought it was hell for a few years, but now I realise how important that was," said Christie. "Obviously, back then you don’t see the bigger picture; it’s only now that you realise he always had the best intentions. Once you grow up and become a bit more mature, you realise how much of a help that was."

Former Rangers captain Lee McCulloch has clinched his return to the dugout after agreeing to join Robbie Neilson’s backroom team at Dundee United. McCulloch has been out of the Scottish game since leaving Kilmarnock in October 2017 and will now take the next step of his coaching career on Tayside as United bid for promotion to the Premiership.

Rangers' next three away games in the Premiership could define the Ibrox club's season, according to the Herald's Neil Cameron. Gerrard's side face Kilmarnock at Rugby Park tonight before travelling to Livingston on Sunday, with a home match against St Mirren after that, followed up with a trip to Pittodrie.

And Cameron has criticised the Hamilton fans that abused manager Martin Canning's father at McDiarmid Park last weekend, saying that the supporters involved were acting in bad faith, unlike the late, famous Accies fan Ian 'Fergie' Russell.

The Herald's James Cairney has argued that Steven Gerrard must resist the temptation to start both Alfredo Morelos and Jermain Defoe up front against Kilmarnock tonight, as it doesn't play to Rangers' strengths.

In rugby, Glasgow Warriors' Jamie Bhatti has said that he's compete in the Scotland squad for the Six Nations, if he gets to start for the national side. Bhatti said: "I’ll play anywhere. If I’m involved here I’ll give my all and if I am back at Glasgow I will play as well as I can for them. It just depends what the coaches are thinking. It all depends on selection."

And in golf, Scotland's Catriona Matthew says she would like to see more women involved in the sport ahead of the Solheim Cup's return to Scotland. "I’d love to see more girls playing but it is a challenge," said the 49-year-old. "I have two daughters and we are trying to get them into it but it’s difficult. You can’t push them. There are so many other things on that they can try."

Former Celtic goalkeeper Alan Rough has told the Scottish Sun that he thinks that if were Alfredo Morelos were to leave Ibrox this month, it would "send out the wrong signal".

Tony Watt wants to extend his contract at St Johnstone, according to the Daily Record. The 25-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season.

And new Hibernian midfielder Stephane Omeonga said that he will give 100% in training and on the pitch for his new club, in an interview with the Scotsman.
