GARY MCALLISTER has refused to rule out a late arrival at Ibrox as Rangers look to strengthen for the second half of the season.
The Light Blues fell five points adrift of Celtic at the weekend following their shock defeat to Hearts and return to Premiership action against Ross County this evening.
Boss Steven Gerrard has moved on Eros Grezda, Andy King and Jamie Murphy this month and Greg Docherty will be allowed to leave on loan.
Jake Hastie has returned to Ibrox following a loan at Rotherham and there could be an addition before the close of business on Friday night.
McAllister said: "It’s very difficult. As you can imagine, we’re inundated with people who are available.
"But we can’t just jump in and panic buy or react with that sort of mindset.
"If we are bringing anyone in at this particular time, it’s got to be someone who can make a difference, make us better and would ideally go straight into the team. We don’t need squad players or development players.
"It’s an ongoing thing. If you bring someone in at the back it boosts people all over the pitch. You can’t really categorise it.
"A player that makes you better in any position gives any club a boost. We’re just continually looking."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
