Hertha Berlin forward Davie Selke reportedly turned down a late summer move to join Rangers.
The striker - who stands at six-and-half feet tall - is currently with the Bundesliga club and has made two starts so far this term, having spent some of 2020 and 2021 out on loan at Werder Bremen. It has been reported by Bild that despite this, he opted to stay in his homeland ahead of making a move to Ibrox.
Selke has less than a year on his deal and a number of clubs are said to be interested in a swoop for the former RB Leipzig man. Rangers find themselves in a similar boat, with attacking duo Ryan Kent and Alfredo Morelos both having less than a year to go on their Light Blues contracts. The latter had kicked off extension talks but those were postponed after he was banished from their Champions League play-off second leg squad against PSV due to attitude and fitness concerns.

Antonio Colak is Rangers' new number nine and he has hit the ground running since signing on a permanent basis from PAOK.
He scored the goal which secured Champions League group stage football versus PSV and overall has nine strikes in 13 games.
This is Selke's fifth year contracted to Hertha Berlin, where he has netted 25 times in 118 matches. The 27-year-old has scored 14 times for both RB Leipzig and Werder Bremen.
