Rangers attacker Martyn Waghorn is reportedly set to leave the club in January.

According to The Scottish Sun, Rangers attacker Martyn Waghorn looks set to leave Ibrox in January, with Bristol City and Fulham both keen on offering him a return to England.

Waghorn, 26, was one of Mark Warburton’s first signings as Rangers boss, and was a key player during their promotion campaign last season, scoring 28 goals in 36 appearances in all competitions.

The striker rejected a new contract at Ibrox over the summer, according to The Guardian, but still started the new season in good form as he scored four goals in three Scottish League Cup games, before scoring the equaliser on the opening day of the season against Hamilton.

However, he has scored just three goals in his last ten games, all of which came in a League Cup clash with Queen of the South – and questions are now being asked about his future in Glasgow.

The Scottish Sun report that Waghorn met with manager Warburton on Wednesday, and has decided that he wants to leave the club, with a return to England potentially in the pipeline ahead of the January transfer window.

It’s claimed that Bristol City and Fulham are both willing to offer Waghorn an exit from Ibrox in January, and Rangers fans have taken to Twitter to offer their views on the striker’s future.

Many Rangers fans feel that Waghorn hasn’t done anything to earn a new contract, and if Rangers can get a good fee for him in January, then he should be sold.

Others think that Waghorn wouldn’t be missed at all, but some think he deserves a new deal after his performances last season.
