Vassilis Lambropoulos is linked with a move to Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers.

Connor Goldson got most of the blame from Rangers fans – and neutrals – for Sunday’s 1-1 draw at Dundee, but Joe Worrall wasn’t blameless.

Former Rangers hitman Kenny Miller nipped in behind the imposing Goldson to fire the hosts ahead at Dens Park this past weekend.

But his Gers centre-back partner Worrall hardly covered himself in glory moments earlier.

In truth, the 21-year-old hasn’t been a huge success at Ibrox after joining on a season-long loan from Nottingham Forest. Yes, he played excellent at home to Villarreal last month, but for the most part he has been disappointing.

And if a rumour regarding Rangers’ January plans materialises, then manager Steven Gerrard might be sending him back to the Championship club prematurely.

According to SDNA, AEK Athens defender Vassilis Lambropoulos is on Gerrard’s radar and there’s no room for Worrall – the only centre-half Rangers have on loan – if the Greek joins.

In addition to the Englishman, Gerrard has Goldson, Nikola Katic and Gareth McAuley as centre-back options. McAuley might be comfortably the oldest of all four, but there is nothing to suggest that he should be disposed of, after joining for free last summer.

It remains to be seen if the Blues’ interest is Lambropoulos is genuine, but if it is, Aitor Karanka can expect Worrall back at The City Ground.
