Pena to make Ibrox return

Midfielder Carlos Pena’s contract has been terminated by the Mexican club due to ‘alcohol abuse’, including urinating in a fountain, while staying at the team’s hotel. The midfielder, who was brought to Rangers by ex-manager Pedro Caixinha during the summer, moved to Cruz Azul to join his former boss after a disappointing spell in Glasgow. (The Scotsman)

Bournemouth eye Tierney

Bournemouth have emerged as a surprise contender to land Celtic left-back Kieran Tierney. The South Coast club are set to test Celtic’s resolve with a £20million bid for the player in the summer transfer window. However, they will face competition from EPL heavyweights Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United. (Scottish Sun on Sunday)

Gerrard says “yes” to Rangers

Steven Gerrard is on the verge of becoming the next manager of Rangers. The ex-Liverpool captain held talks with Ibrox chiefs earlier in the week and is said to be encouraged by what he’s heard. It is believed Gerrard has told the club’s board he will accept their offer and will be officially unveiled next week. (Sunday Mirror)

- Gerrard will sign a three-year deal after being given assurances that he’ll be provided with the necessary funds to challenge Celtic. (Sunday Times)

- It is also being reported that Gerrard has not yet decided to join the Ibrox club, as he is “still torn” on whether to leave his job as Liverpool under-18s coach. (Scottish Sun on Sunday)

Souness warns Gerrard

Former Rangers boss Graeme Souness has warned Steven Gerrard to expect a very different club to the one he took over in the 1980s. Similarly to Gerrard, Souness was a Liverpool legend who took his first step into management with the Ibrox club. However, he insists the Glasgow side is not as strong as the one he agreed to join under the chairmanship of David Murray. (Sunday Times)

Halliday back in for Old Firm clash

Andy Halliday is expected to return to Rangers’ starting XI for Sunday’s match with Celtic - just two weeks after launching a foul-mouthed rant at manager Graeme Murty following his substitution in the Scottish Cup semi-final. The midfielder is set to fill in at left-back with Declan John poised to miss out with a broken hand. (Scottish Sun on Sunday)
