Jordan Jones was targeted by Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers in January.
Some Rangers fans on Twitter have called on Steven Gerrard to sign Jordan Jones.
Rangers beat Jones’s Kilmarnock 3-1 at Rugby Park this afternoon to the reach the next round of the League Cup.
Alfredo Morelos will get the headlines for scoring a hat-trick for the Gers, but the Northern Ireland winger was arguably Killie’s stand-out player.
The Ibrox outfit had a £350,000 bid for the 23-year-old rejected back in January during Graeme Murty’s spell in charge.
Jamie Murphy, who plays in the same position as Jones, was a first-half casualty for Rangers after going off injured.
And some Gers supporters reckon that this would be an ideal time to sign the tricky attacker who, according to The Scotsman, is valued at £1 million.
A winger wasn’t a major priority for Rangers and Gerrard before kickoff, but it might well be now.
Murphy is a massive player for the Blues and if he is out for the long-term then what a replacement Jones – who’s out of contract with Kilmarnock next summer – would and could be.
