Greg Docherty has been given permission to speak to Hull City over a potential move to League One.
The Rangers midfielder is not expected to be a Light Blues player much longer and has already opened discussions with the Tigers.
Any deal will be a permanent move out of Ibrox, as previously told by Herald and Times Sport. Manager Steven Gerrard revealed yesterday after his side's 3-0 win over St Johnstone that he would not allow Docherty to leave on loan.
The same goes, says the boss, for Hibs target Ross McCrorie. The latter has emerged as a wanted man in Switzerland with St Gallen plotting a move.
Gerrard said: "Hull are in for Greg Docherty so he has had permission to speak to them. We have had some interest from Hibs in Ross McCrorie. Those talks are ongoing.
“But Ross and Greg will not be going on loan. They have been on two loans. They have done that road. If we get bids that we like, that are good enough and big enough, we will consider them. But they won’t be going on loan.”
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
