Rangers boss Mark Warburton rules out a move for former Arsenal star Philippe Senderos

The 31-year-old was the latest name to be linked with a Light Blues deal this week ahead of the new Premiership campaign.

Warburton remains in the market for a defender and a striker to complete his Gers squad but is in no rush to make his next move.

He said: “It’s like Robin van Persie, I get a phone call and it’s all news to me.

“It’s another one we’ve apparently signed, we’ve offered him a one year deal.

“It’s news to me. I’m not amazed it comes out but there’s no truth in it.

“With regards to loans, we’re not at a stage where it’s time to move.

“Boys will have been filling in because the big hitters have been at the Euros.

“They’ll be told soon whether they can go out on loan. But it’s not easy.

“That’s the hard part, it might seem basic to everyone else, but that’s the hard sell.

“If someone has been offered X amount, three times what Scottish clubs can pay, then we have to get them here.

“They have to see the training ground, a packed Ibrox and the expectation in the city to really sell it. The good players will thrive on that.

“If player are driven by money then we won’t get them. But then, are those really the kind of players we want? I’m not so sure it is.”

Warburton utilised the loan market well last summer as he brought Dominic Ball and Gedion Zelalem north of the border from Tottenham and Arsenal respectively.

But the Ibrox boss has revealed that a temporary deal fell through last week due to the financial package involved.

He said: “You get to a point where there are eight, nine, ten Championship clubs and they are paying full wages and a loan fee.

“This one player, a young player, smashes our top earner out the water. Twice over, or more.

“But there is a queue a mile long of clubs that will take him. That tells you where the market is.

“The gap is getting wider and it will keep getting wider. There are fees being paid for players you know are not worth it, but they are being paid.”
