• He added: “I certainly hope that is the case because I follow Rangers closely and he has been a very good player for them. He would be a very important player for Kayserispor.”
• However, Bougherra has already reveale turning down an offer to extend his contract with Rangers for two years. He also reiterated his wish to move south and join the Premier League.
• Rangers’ assistant manager Ally McCoist, however, denied having any knowledge of Bougherra declining a new deal to stay at Ibrox.
