Rangers bid for Croatian hitman Jelavic


Recommended Posts

Rapid Vienna will not make a decision on the future of Rangers target Nikica Jelavic today.

 

The 24-year-old Croatia international striker, who scored twice in Tuesday's 3-0 Europa League qualifying win over Bulgarian side Beroe, is subject of a bid of �£2million from the Ibrox outfit.

 

The Austrian club are believed to be looking for around double that fee but Rangers will have to wait another 24 hours to see if a deal can be struck.

 

'There will be no outcome today as our sporting director will not be back until tomorrow,' a Rapid spokesman told BBC Scotland. 'This will be discussed at a board meeting tomorrow morning.'

 

Rangers may have to wait until after the Europa League play-off round if they are to land their man.

 

The games are scheduled for 19 and 26 August, a few days before the transfer window closes, and Rapid may want to keep the player at least until then. Jelavic, however, has declared he wants to move to Ibrox.

 

He was quoted in the Daily Record as saying: 'I am very happy because I scored two goals to help Rapid eliminate Zagora. However, at the same time I am ready to take on a new challenge.

 

'I'm keeping my fingers crossed the move materialises. I have always dreamed of playing in Britain and this is my big chance.

 

'I hope Rapid will grant me this favour in return for my goals and my endless fight for the club.'

 

Rangers manager Walter Smith is also looking at Honduras striker Georgie Welcome on trial this week.
