The Ibrox boss confirmed Kyle Lafferty is nearing an exit.

Signed from Hearts last summer in the six-figure deal, the Northern Irishman struggled to impose himself in the team in the previous campaign.

It was his second spell at Rangers following an impressive season with Hearts where he hit 19 goals in all competitions.

He started just eight games and netted six goals.

Gerrard expects Lafferty to leave this week as he cuts his squad to the desired number of 23 or 24.

Jak Alnwick and Daniel Candeias have recently departed.
