Rangers have reportedly had a bid rejected for Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Pierce Charles.<\/p>\n
And the decision is said to have BAFFLED insiders at the cash-strapped Championship club.<\/p>\n
Russell Martin<\/a> has already swooped on the Owls by landing flying machine Djeidi Gassama<\/a> earlier this summer.<\/p>\n Gassama has been an instant hit at Ibrox, netting four goals in the Champions League<\/a> to move Gers within touching distance of the playoffs.<\/p>\n Keeper Jack Butland has also been instrumental in helping Gers negotiate tough ties against Panathinakos and Viktoria Plzen.<\/p>\n But according to the Telegraph<\/a>, the Light Blues are in the market for another shotstopper.<\/p>\n It’s claimed that Hillsborough chiefs have knocked back \u00a31million-plus bids from both Rangers and West Ham for highly-rated Charles.<\/p>\n Financially-stricken Wednesday are struggling for cash and wages for players and staff have been late four months out of five.<\/p>\n Controversial owner Dejphon Chansiri is under pressure to sell the club but has thrown out multiple offers for 20-year-old Charles.<\/p>\n It remains to be seen whether Rangers<\/a> or the Hammers will return to the negotiating table with an improved bid.<\/p>\n Northern Ireland international Charles has enjoyed a rapid rise to stardom at Hillsborough and is under contract for another two years.<\/p>\n Follow Record Sport <\/strong>on Twitter<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> and Instagram<\/a> for all of the up-to-the minute breaking news, video and audio on the SPFL, the Scotland national team and beyond.<\/p>\n You can get all the news you need on our dedicated Rangers<\/a> and Celtic<\/a> pages, and sign up to our newsletters<\/a> to make sure you never miss a beat throughout the season.<\/p>\n We’re also WhatsApp where we bring all the latest breaking news and transfer gossip directly to you phone.
