The Evening Times reported on Friday morning that a loan deal for the 27-year-old to the Ibrox club was all but completed.

Burnley will have until 11pm to find themselves a replacement with the English transfer window closing one hour before the Scottish window shuts.

Rangers boss Steven Gerrard is in the market for another forward after Jermain Defoe was injured in the midweek victory over Ross County.

Florian Kamberi is another option as discussions between the club continue over the Swiss attacker.
