Kris Boyd reckons Rangers should deal in Ryan Jack.
The Light Blues midfielder is one of a number of stars in the final weeks of their current deals at Ibrox including Alfredo Morelos, Ryan Kent, Steven Davis and Allan McGregor. Michael Beale has previously stated no talks over fresh terms with any players had taken place as the Ibrox men focus on a strong finish to the domestic campaign that includes a huge Scottish Cup semi-final showdown with Celtic this weekend at Hampden.
Sky Sports pundit Boyd believes decisions on the out of contract players will have been made and he reckons the longer time goes on, it seems more likely that Morelos and Kent will leave from free. He reckons all the players out of contract can't leave as you need to keep some players who understand the DNA of the club as he named Jack as one of the key men who fall under that bracket.

He told Sky Sports: "The decision will be made already. There will definitely have been discussions. But the longer it goes on, it looks as if Alfredo Morelos and Kent will walk out of the door for nothing which is shocking.
"It should have been tied up a long time ago or a bit of business done considering the type of money flying around for them.
"Other than that you're looking at Allan McGregor, Steven Davis, Filip Helander, Ryan Jack, Scott Arfield… you can't keep them all. But you can't get rid of everyone who understands the football club, the DNA of it. You can't have too many of them in your dressing room.
"For Rangers it's a big transfer window coming up, recruitment is key but you can't let everybody go because you need to keep hold of a couple.
"I'd definitely keep Jack. His injury record hasn't been great but he brings something. Arfield has a role off the bench and McGregor deserves to make his decision. Will he be No 1? I don't know. Can he be back-up keeper? I'm not so sure.
"But Michael Beale has a big summer transfer window ahead of him."
