FENERBAHCE boss Aykut Kocaman insists defender Martin Skrtel won’t be leaving for Rangers this summer.
The 33-year-old has been linked with a move to Ibrox following the appointment of Steven Gerrard as manager.
Gerrard and Skrtel were team-mates at Liverpool before the stopper moved to Turkey two years ago.
Boss Kocaman said:”Martin Skrtel is an important part of the team. He won’t be going anywhere this summer.
“Why would he? He is happy here.
“He is a brave warrior. Last week against Kasimpasa, he received the worst wound I have ever seen in my football career. His head was burst open.
“But he got five stitches and played on. He had to go to hospital after the game and get several more stitches.
“This is the type of person he is. He is an inspiration.”
