However, manager Owen Coyle has today confirmed that there has been no contact with Rangers. Coyle said: "We have had no bid whatsoever from Rangers for Kyle," although it is thought that we have now turned down an approach from Celtic.
Celtic though are still keen on Kyle and assistant boss Tommy Burns said: "I've no insight into the signing policies but I would think that if we can't get Kyle Lafferty now, we might try to get him in the summer or whenever the opportunity comes."
