It has been revealed that Rangers assistant manager Ally McCoist was despatched to the Algrave by Walter Smith to take a personal check on Cardiff City's dominating centre-half Glenn Loovens which rasies speculation that Rangers may return with a new bid for the player.
There is a stalemate at present with Rangers offering £1.5M for Watford's Danny Shittu and unable to agree personal terms with the player which saw them turn to Loovens but they have substantially under-valued him at only £1M which met with understandable objections for Peter Ridsdale and Dave Jones who would both like to keep the player anyway.
However, Rangers have a deadline of this Thursday if they are to register a new centre-half in time for Champions League action and are desparate for a new face.
McCoist will have learned nothing lat night as Loovens only played 2nd half and had little to do in a quiet game which City bossed.
