The fact that we seem unlikely to scramble together £500,000 for one player these days is very disheartening to say the least.

dont think we have anything to spend other than millers wage on a loan player.on rc radio tonight the bank has taken the miller fee according to dj

But we made a bid for Badfanny for 500k. Surely that must mean we have that money at present PLUS (if the bank hasn't taken it) the 450k for Miller.

Buy Commons for between 500k and 950k, offer him Millers wage and then get in a defender.

The Herald article someone mentioned ;

Rangers are expected to lodge a bid in the region of £500,000 today for Kris Commons, having made contact with Derby County last night to establish what fee would be required to sign the Scotland internationalist

Commons is believed to be keen to leave Pride Park this month, but Herald Sport understands that Celtic are also trying to persuade the attacking midfielder to sign a pre-contract agreement with the Parkhead side and wait until the summer.

Derby would prefer to sell the player now and reinvest the fee, and are prepared to accept a bid of around £500,000. Although no formal offer was made last night, it is believed that Rangers are weighing up how best to spend the money made available by Kenny Miller’s move to Bursaspor, and the likelihood is that it will be spent on Commons.

Walter Smith, the Rangers manager, has spoken of his desire to sign a wide attacking player – Commons fits this description – and a defender. While a move for the Derby player would use up his available funds, more money will become available if Charlie Adam seals a move away from Blackpool this month.

Rangers are due 10% of any fee above £500,000 for the midfielder, who handed in a written transfer request yesterday. Blackpool rejected Adam’s request, but Liverpool are expected to return with a higher bid than the £4m that was turned down last Friday. It is thought that Blackpool will accept around £6m for the player, which would earn Rangers a £600,000 windfall.

“We’ve lost one player and part of the situation now is balancing how much it’s going to cost to get us one or maybe two players,” said Smith. “We’ll just wait and see who we can get. I don’t know if or when we will be able to get somebody in or not. The January window is never an easy one in which to bring in any player.”

Rangers have also been linked with loan deals for Kris Boyd and Nacho Novo, with the latter thought to be a fall-back option if other targets cannot be brought in.

Celtic are also expected to finalise at least one signing this week, after a scan confirmed that Daniel Majstorovic will miss three weeks with a hamstring injury. With Glenn Loovens having only just returned to training, Thomas Rogne is the only fit centre-back available to manager Neil Lennon, but as of last night Nottingham Forest had not received a bid for Kelvin Wilson, who has already signed a pre-contract agreement with the club.

The Championship side are not keen to sell the player, though, since it will leave Billy Davies short of defensive options. “I’ve got no doubt what the situation is – he’s a very important player for us and we’re not here to do anyone any favours except ourselves,” the Forest manager said.

Celtic are also thought to be interested in Noel Hunt, the former Dundee United striker who now plays for Reading. Hunt is out of contract in the summer and is attracting the attention of Wolves, where his brother, Stephen, plays. But Lennon is believed to be interested in the player, who could be prised away from Reading for £350,000 in this window.

It'll be interesting if they get Kevin Wilson this week or have to wait. I don't think they have another option really, but Forrest don't seem keen on letting him go. The longer they leave it, the less likely it seems. Davies has told them to GTF about the idea of him coming this month.

Noel Hunt is just :anguish:

davis is pissed with the player and celtc and is not doing either any favours. they will need to pay good cash to get him and they dont seem to have it.

a guy in my work knows davies pretty well he says he doesnt even rate wilson.

hunt is ok but if this is there new level of player then it will be a hard sell for there fans.

I don't think it will be quite a 'Jelavic' ................ but this thread will have a long way to go yet!

We'll probably make our first offer with 48 hours left of the transfer window!

Smith now confirmed talks have opened between ourselves and Derby - good news.

However we know how long talks usually take when it involves Rangers ................
