Three of the sharpest minds at the Daily Record think that the end is in sight for Alfredo Morelos and Ryan Kent.
Starting the season with nine years combined service the issue of their contracts has been given the egg-shell treatment as they get closer to free agent status in their mid-twenties.
With a combined goal tally of just four alongside a place in the Champions League record books neither player has grasped the opportunity to go into the shop window.
This morning the Record Jury is asked:
Should Rangers accept low-ball bids for Ryan Kent and Alfredo Morelos?
Gordon Parks: Yes. If, and it’s a big if, some club is prepared to fork out a decent fee for either then Rangers should bite their hand off.
Scott Burns: The reality now is that neither are going to sign new deals. So any offers that come in, Rangers have to weigh up whether they would be better losing the players for free or selling them. I think it is more likely that Morelos would be sold, with Beale looking to keep a hold of Kent.
Fraser WIlson: Both might be off form but clubs will be eyeing the opportunity to get two players still of a decent age on the cheap. If Rangers can get a million quid for either next month then they should snap it up.
The real question is whether a low-ball bid will surface for a pair of serial losers, Connor Goldson knows the answer to that one.
