Alex Rae reckons Ryan Kent and Alfredo Morelos' contract situations at Rangers could be a factor behind current form as he made reference to Ryan Christie and Odsonne Edouard during their time at Celtic.
The Light Blues duo are out of contract in the summer with fresh terms no closer. Giovanni van Bronckhorst faces losing the two men for nothing with the pair free to talk to clubs about pre-contracts come January 1 if they don't put pen to paper at Ibrox before then.
Both have been key stars over the years but Kent's struggled so far this season while Morelos has played mostly second fiddle to summer signing Antonio Colak. Rae has questioned whether the situations over their futures are having a bearing on performances of them individually and the team as a whole.
