Rangers: transfer troubles

Regardless of who has the final say on transfers at Rangers, the Ibrox club has yet to make a single new signing. Rangers have bid for six players but have seen some choose other clubs while others will cost more than they want to pay.

The ones that got away

Tomer Hemed: One of Ally McCoist's primary targets, the 24-year-old Israeli striker rejected a contract offer from Rangers, opting instead to head for the Spanish sunshine and Real Mallorca.

Craig Conway: A long-time target, the former Dundee United winger was the subject of a failed loan bid by Walter Smith in January and any hopes of a permanent switch ended when he joined Malky Mackay's Cardiff City last month.

Neil Danns: Was thought to be close to agreeing a deal at Ibrox but the out-of-contract Crystal Palace midfielder fell for Sven-Goran Eriksson's charms and joined Leicester City.

The ones they still want

David Goodwillie: Rangers have yet to meet Dundee United's 2 million asking price while Cardiff are understood to be willing to match that valuation. Blackpool have also been linked with the in-demand Scotland striker.

Lee Wallace: Hearts have rejected two offers from Rangers for the Scotland defender, who has one year left on his contract, with the second reported to be close to 1 million.

Carlos Cuellar: Has expressed an interest in returning to Ibrox and McCoist says talks are continuing with Aston Villa, following reports they will have to double their 1.5 million offer for the Spanish defender.
