Rangers not interested in Belgium international Michy Batshuayi

Rangers are not interested in signing Fenerbahce striker Michy Batshuayi on a loan or permanent deal.

It is understood that that the Belgium international will not be making the move to Ibrox in the January window despite several reports to the contrary.

Batshuayi is set to leave the Turkish side after failing to agree fresh terms but he will not be making the move to Glasgow.

The 30-year-old reportedly has a host of interested clubs this month - but there is also "a place at Fenerbahce" for Batshuayi, according to club president Ali Koc.

Koc told En Son Haber: "I have told him If you want to stay, there is a place for you in Fenerbahce.

"But if you are restless when you are on the bench, it will affect the team.

"Let us know your final decision as soon as possible."

Belgian legend Franky Van der Elst has also supported a move for Batshuayi this month claiming his spot in the Belgium squad for Euro 2024 is at risk should he remain at Fenerbahce.

He said: "I think Michy Batshuayi doesn't deserve to make the squad at the moment and he is behind other strikers now.

"I would never have said that a year ago.

"But he doesn't score and he's in a bad situation at Fenerbahce. He really needs a move quickly."
