Rangers manager Graeme Murty recently told The Scottish Sun that he is interested in signing Greg Docherty in the January transfer window.

Murty also stated that Rangers have made an approach for the Hamilton Academical midfielder.

It has now been reported by The Daily Record that Hamilton have turned down the Gers’ initial offer for the 21-year-old midfielder.

It has been reported that Rangers’ bid of £300,000 is well short of Hamilton’s valuation of the Scotland Under-21 international, as they are claimed to want as much £600,000.

To make matters worse for Rangers, Preston North End in the Championship in England are claimed to be interested in Docherty.
