Rangers supporters have been very despondent in the Transfer Tavern in the last few days after seeing their side lose the Old Firm derby 3-2 at Ibrox on Sunday to slip nine points adrift of Scottish Premiership leaders Celtic.

Graeme Murty’s men went into their clash with the Bhoys off the back of winning their previous four league games, a run of form which gave the Light Blues hope that they could well challenge Brendan Rodgers’ side for the title in the final few months of the season. Yet those faint title hopes have been all but banished after defeat on Sunday, with Odsonne Edouard netting the winner in the second half at Ibrox after strikes from Josh Windass and Daniel Candeias for the Gers were cancelled out by Tom Rogic and Moussa Dembele in the first half.

Subsequently, there have been many disappointed Rangers fans in the Tavern in recent times, several of whom are sincerely hoping that their team can put their Old Firm frustration behind them and return to winning ways against Kilmarnock on Saturday.

In the meantime though, there has been much for our resident Gers supporters to discuss, not least recent reports suggesting that Rangers flop Eduardo Herrera could be on his way out of the club in the summer.

The 29-year-old forward only made the move to Ibrox during the summer and has gone on to make 24 first team appearances for the club, but he has yet to make a league appearance in 2018.

As such, reports suggest that Chivas are eyeing up a possible move for the Mexico international in the close season, which could be yet another excellent piece of business from director of football Mark Allen.

The Gers made many shrewd signings during the January window and may let some players leave in the summer in a bid to trim the squad and keep competition healthy, and as such here are TWO other Rangers flops that could follow Herrera out of the club at the end of the season…

Carlos Pena

Like Herrera, Carlos Pena made the move to Rangers during the summer to link up with Pedro Caixinha, and while he made a decent start to life north of the border, the 27-year-old soon fell down the pecking order.

And his struggles were magnified when he was allowed out on loan to team up with the ex-Gers chief at Mexican side Cruz Azul, thus plunging his long-term future at Rangers into huge doubt ahead of the summer window.

And with the Light Blues seemingly improving since his departure back in January, it very much remains to be seen whether he has any future at Ibrox.

Niko Kranjcar

Niko Kranjcar hasn’t really had the desired effect since his move to Rangers back in 2016, although injury is a big reason for his struggles north of the border.

The 33-year-old has only managed 26 appearances in the last 20 months or so and has just seven Scottish Premiership ones to his name this term, with the former Croatia international failing to make any of the last six matchday squads to underline his plight.

And with his contract up in the summer (as per Transfermarkt), it looks increasingly likely that his time at Rangers will be at an end in the coming months.
