It would appear that Rangers' interest in Cardiff City's Gleen Loovens is fading as quickly as it arose. The Scottish side are believed to have only offered a ridiculously low £1M for the commanding Dutchman, a player valuied by the club - and City fans too - at around £3M.
You can't entirely dismiss it however as Rangers are desparate to sign a centre half in time for Champions League registration this coming Thursday so they may yet be tempted to splash the cash or come back with a more attractive player exchange deal even though thoughts of Kris Boyd in South Wales are now gone.
It does leave City in an awkward position as Loovens has less than a year on his contract and is hoping for a move to the Premiership but the only clubs believed to have expressed interest - newboys Stoke and Hull - haven't particularly excited the player but, more importantly, haven't made any bid or enquiry either while already recruiiting many new faces.
It means City have to try and pin down Glenn to a new contract or face anxiety over keeping him until the transfer window closes in late August, lose him for a low fee in January or for nothign next summer. High stakes poker indeed.
