Of course the deal is still on, it's on as ever...

Only we won't be getting him till after Rapid's tie with Villa. The only issues left are whether a club comes in with a late offer, and/or if Rapid can find a replacement in the 3 days after their tie with Villa.

If he doesn't sign, then surely come the January transfer window, Rapid are sitting with a guy worth about £1 million, and at the end of the season, worth nothing - considering we are allegedly prepared to pay 3.5 million it seems a lot to lose for a shot at a Europa League place against an English Premiership side.

Strange.

Personally I'd go out and grab Goodwillie, Conway and (tin hat on) Healy. Probably get the lot for a bit less than £2 million. Goodwillie and Conway will hold their value long term, and Healy would be a good squad player, with the right attitude.

Who knows.

EXCLUSIVE: Ranger sign Croatian international Jelavic

READ MORE NEWS ON: Rangers, Stoke City, Scottish Premier

Rangers boss Walter Smith’s persistence has paid off as Rapid Vienna striker Nikica Jelavic inks a deal at Ibrox.

The Gers had been locked in talks with Rapid Vienna over the Croatia international and lodged an improved bid but the club were initially reluctant to sell their star player.

Chief executive Martin Bain flew back to Glasgow last week empty handed and some feared the deal was dead, but it now appears Jelavic has got his wish to step up a level with the Scottish Premier League Champions.

"The Scottish league is stronger than the Austrian league and Rangers are a great club," said Jelavic in the Daily Record recently.

Smith will be pleased to have added another striker to the squad as competition for James Beattie who only joined Rangers from Stoke City last week.
