Bids incoming for summer hit: Three Rangers players who may play final game v Celtic
Bruno Alves
Bruno Alves has recently admitted that he would be willing to quit Ibrox in order to ensure that his spot on the plane to Russia is secure for next summer.
Alves, 36, was Caixinha’s marquee signing in the summer but his form has been well below what has been expected, leading to Murty to occasionally drop him from the side.
The Portugal international, who is gunning for a spot at the World Cup in 2018, was left out of the Old Firm defeat to Celtic at Ibrox earlier this season as he jetted off to Spain for treatment on an injury.
He was again left out of the defeat to Kilmarnock on Saturday as he keeps jumping in and out of Murty’s matchday squad.
The Daily Mail has reported that the ex-Porto defender is now attracting attention from the Middle East ahead of the January transfer window.
As Alves did not play against Celtic last time out, he would probably be involved in the Old Firm derby next week – but that could be his final game for Rangers.
