Michael Beale has lifted the lid on potential Rangers transfer targets but also admits some players could leave Ibrox this month.
The Light Blues have yet to confirm any new arrivals this window despite strong links with Norwich City star Todd Cantwell among the likes of Swansea City forward Morgan Whittaker and Standard Liege wantaway man Nicolas Raskin who was previously touted for a move to Glasgow during Gio Van Bronckhorst's time at Ibrox.
And while Beale insists focus is off recruits and on St Johnstone for the Scottish Cup, the Light Blues gaffer did let slip that some current stars on the Ibrox fringes could be on their way out.

On transfers and Nicolas Raskin, he said: “As soon as anyone is signed and sealed you will be the first to know. I would say that we’re very close on one or two bits…
“Another good player [Raskin] one that I remember from the time we played Standard Liege. He missed the first game the night Kemar Roofe scored that amazing goal but he played the second leg.
"He’s a player I’m aware of, a very good player who is out of contract in the summer. One that has attracted a lot of attention. There’s an interest from us but I’m sure there is from a number of clubs."
On Morgan Whittaker, he said: “There’s no stand-off. We’re doing the business in private but in Wales they’ve spoken out about it so we’re not going to add to that. He’s come back from loan and could be in their squad this weekend. He’s their player.
"Nothing will be announced before the weekend, the focus is on this game. In the last 24 hours there’s been one or two enquiries for some of ours which is interesting. The focus is on this game but it might be the case one or two of ours might go out temporarily or permanently because they want to play. With one or two coming in you’re making room for what the squad will look like.”
