Rangers' refusal to sanction a move for Hibs striker Kevin Nisbet is claimed to have been a major factor in Steven Gerrard's decision to leave the Ibrox club.
Gerrard moved to Aston Villa in November, and the Scottish Daily Express reports that the refusal in August for Rangers to back a proposed £4m move for the Scotland internationalist - who has been ruled out for the rest of this season through injury - was a major catalyst.
