# Glasgow Rangers: Livingston turn down bid for Lyndon Dykes

**Livingston have reportedly rejected a bid for Glasgow Rangers target Lyndon Dykes, according to the [Daily Record](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/transfer-news-live-rangers-celtic-22491944).**

The ‘Gers had been linked with a move for the Australian but Barnsley were the first side to make a bid for the forward.

That initial offer was rejected and now another bid from a Championship club – believed to be the Tykes – has been turned down. The sum was reportedly £1.2m but Livingston are looking for a fee of closer to £2m.

The ‘Gers had been in the market for a new striker but that potential problem for Steven Gerrard now looks to have been solved – he has added [Cedric Itten](https://www.rangers.co.uk/article/rangers-sign-cedric-itten/mZ5KBtSmYsrHAgmykjGrf#:~:text=RANGERS%20are%20delighted%20to%20confirm,scoring%20in%20his%20home%20nation.) and [Kemar Roofe](https://www.rangers.co.uk/article/rangers-sign-kemar-roofe/3JOQ8m4TAjUgzKBAnMkocR) to his squad in the past couple of weeks, which gives him plenty more options up front even if Alfredo Morelos departs as [speculation surrounding his future continues](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/rangers-fc-transfer-rumours/glasgow-rangers-alfredo-morelos-reportedly-agrees-to-join-ligue-1-side-lille/).

As such, the ‘Gers may have moved on from trying to sign Dykes this summer and, with just [12](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/lyndon-dykes/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/347138) goals last season in all competitions, he is not exactly the most prolific forward. Also, Livingston are clearly not ready to let one of their star players leave for a small fee – as such, perhaps the ‘Gers have been astute in already exploring other options.
