Andy Halliday says Ryan Kent would be a bigger loss to Rangers than Alfredo Morelos.
Rangers are believed to have rejected a £10m bid for Kent from Leeds, but the newly promoted English Premier League side are thought to remain keen.
Morelos, meanwhile, looks to have played his last game for Rangers. Manager Steven Gerrard left him out of the squad for Saturday's 2-0 win against Kilmarnock after saying he was “disappointed the player has had his head turned and doesn’t look himself".
Speaking on BBC Scotland's Sportsound podcast, former Ibrox midfielder Halliday said: "Ryan Kent's the one that I feel that can change a game with one dribble, one move.
"I can't speak highly enough of Ryan Kent. I think he'd be a bigger loss to the Rangers team right now.
"Rangers have added attacking options, they have added two strikers. If Ryan Kent does end up leaving, I feel as if Rangers need to spend the fee.
"I feel as if I'm watching a different Alfredo in the games that I've watched this year.
"Whatever's going to happen, they'll want to get it resolved as soon as possible."
