Rangers want Gillingham striker Eaves

Rangers’ hunt for a new striker has led them to scout Gillingham striker Tom Eaves, according to Sky Sports News.

The 26-year-old has scored 13 goals for the Gills this season, making him League One’s top scorer.

And after scoring 32 goals in a season-and-a-half for Gillingham, Eaves is wanted by Rangers, as well as Preston North End and Blackburn Rovers.

The prolific striker stands at 6ft 5in tall and is out of contract in the summer.

Ryan Kent’s injury concern

Ryan Kent limped off at half-time in yesterday’s 1-1 draw with Dundee and he is a doubt for Thursday night.

Rangers have a crucial clash with Rapid Vienna on Thursday night but they could be without Kent.

The Daily Record report that Kent might be absent for the trip to Austria due to an “issue”.

The 22-year-old winger, on loan from Liverpool, has scored three goals this season for the Gers but he might miss the Europa League decider.

Jordan Jones battle

Rangers face a battle to land Kilmarnock winger Jordan Jones.

According to the print edition of The Sunday People (9th December) via HITC Sport, Burnley have entered the race.

The 24-year-old has impressed in the Scottish Premiership and Rangers have held a long-term interest in him.

Jones is out of contract at the end of the season but Burnley are said to be plotting a £1m bid.
