Rangers manager Steven Gerrard has long been linked with a potential move for Kilmarnock’s attacking midfielder Jordan Jones.
The most recent piece of speculation surrounding the 24-year-old Northern Irishman was that a deal was ‘all but done’ although the implication was more on a pre-contract arrangement as opposed to a straight buy deal come the New Year and the January transfer window.
Mixed Reactions From These Rangers Fans To Apparent ‘All But Done’ Transfer Deal
In response to the above suggestion, plenty of Rangers fans were very happy with the development, and it’s only natural really that this speculation will now kick up a further gear given the departure of Liverpool youngster Ovie Ejaria.
Speaking to the Kilmarnock Official Site following their 3-1 victory over Dundee last weekend, their gaffer Steve Clarke seems completely aware of the potential for losing the lad for nothing next summer and in talking him up to that degree, for me at least, he’s encouraging real offers in January so he increases his own kitty.
“I thought Jordan was terrific, absolutely terrific. He had a little spell where he sat out for a couple of games and he wasn’t too happy – he wasn’t happy with me or himself. Since he got back into the team his performances have been absolutely electric and he was the same today. He’s a great talent who carries the ball really well for us and creates chances. I’m delighted with Jordan and delighted for Jordan.”
