Jamie Vardy Rangers speculation addressed by Russell Martin

Russell Martin has addressed speculation surrounding Jamie Vardy and a move to Rangers.

The head coach was asked about the former Leicester City and England striker following Rangers' 2-2 draw against Club Brugge at Ibrox this afternoon.

Speculation has intensified in recent days linking the Scottish Premiership giants with the 38-year-old.

Vardy has been without a club since the expiry of his Leicester contract at the beginning of the month.

Reports in Italy this morning suggested that he'd knocked back a move to Genoa in favour of joining Martin's men.

However, when asked directly about the experienced frontman, the Gers manager understandably remained coy on the subject.

He responded: "I think like I've been asked about so many players. Some miles away, some on the money.

"I'm not going to give you an answer on that.

"But I guess you'll, you'll find out who is real and who's not in the next few weeks."

With just over two weeks to go until the first leg of the Champions League qualifier against Panathinaikos, Martin did admit he expects his first team squad to look rather different by that point in proceedings, although, refused to answer just how many additions could be made.

"I expect the team to look different again, the squad to look different in a week's time, but in a couple of weeks, so much can happen in football, so I don't know," the 39-year-old said. 

"So, I think we are, we're definitely want to do more, for sure. ]

"And also probably some players need to to move on as well at some point because the squad's going to start looking very big and very heavy.

"I don't know is the answer, but it will definitely look different in a week's time."
