Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers could be selling a player, according to a report.

Ipswich Town are “edging closer” to signing Rangers flop Joe Garner, according to The Mail.

The 29-year-old joined the Gers from Preston North End last summer but things did not go to plan at all for the English striker.

He netted only seven goals in 31 Scottish Premiership appearances for Rangers following his £1.8 million switch to Ibrox from Deepdale.

The Record reported last month that Ipswich were plotting a £500,000 move for him which, if true, perfectly illustrates how his stock has fallen over the past 12 months.

And The Mail have now claimed that the Tractor Boys are close to striking a deal for the misfiring forward.

Rangers boss Pedro Caixinha will have little need for Garner if the deal for Colombian striker Alfredo Morelos goes through, with the 20-year-old closing in on a switch to Glasgow from Finnish outfit HFK Helsinki, via The Mail.

Morelos netted 11 goals in nine games for his current club this season.
