Sure enough, links between Rangers and Martin Skrtel resurfaced once again this transfer window.

The Daily Record reported just two days ago that Skrtel held talks with Rangers over a move, following previous interest in the past two transfer windows.

Rangers have moved to sign Swedish centre-back Filip Helander instead, seemingly ending the prospect of Steven Gerrard signing his former teammate.

Skrtel is looking for a new club, and he could end up partnering a former Rangers centre-back.

Turkish outlet Takvim report the Fenerbahce defender is being lined up for a transfer to Parma, with talks underway.

At Parma he could end up partnering former Rangers defender Bruno Alves.

Alves had one injury hit season at Ibrox, before Steven Gerrard decided last summer to make a swift decision to move him on.

The Portuguese veteran had a good season in Italy, but is now 37.

Skrtel himself is 34, and Rangers should be pleased they are looking at a more youthful defence by comparison.
