Waghorn felt that his performances last season, when he finished as top scorer for Rangers, merited a new deal.

However, Rangers did not offer the striker an improved deal – despite giving pay rises to many of their other key players from last season over the summer.

Waghorn is said to have been unhappy that he was not rewarded, and he is now willing to leave the Glasgow side in January.
