Gio van Bronckhorst shuts Rangers transfer poser down as he delegates contract talks to Ross Wilson

Rangers manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst says his only focus for now is St Mirren away this Saturday.

The Light Blues boss has been fielding questions in his pre-match media briefing ahead of taking on the Buddies in their final Premiership match prior to the World Cup break. There's also key stars like Ryan Kent and Alfredo Morelos out of contract, but delegating the subject to sporting director Ross Wilson, the Dutchman quickly stated 'Ross is speaking with the players and the agents so I think he is best to ask about what the situation is.'

When pressed on whether an attack-minded player could be one type of signing targeted by Rangers January, he responded: “I don’t know, not at the moment! I am focusing on St Mirren as the window is still closed for one and a half months. We have to be more clinical; we get in so many positions and chances to score.

"The difference, I think, is that we need to score more goals, and if you have seen our games and scoreline, it is a whole different story.

"If you have one or two chances and win by a one goal margin, or you have so many chances to score even more. The expected goals in our last games are really high.

"In the end, the extra goals we scored was low. That needs to change as the more goals you score, the easier you will play in the games."
