RANGERS target Luca Kerber has closed the door on any move to Scotland this month after insisting he is only concentrating on his club side.

The Saarbrucken midfielder was linked with a £1.25 million move to Ibrox after impressing this season for his club who play in the third tier of German football.

Saarbrucken boss Rudiger Ziehl revealed last week several European clubs were exploring a move for the 20-year-old and Rangers were among those credited with an interest, along with Brighton and Lorient.

Kerber still has 18 months left on his contract and doesn't have a release clause fee in his deal.

And he has insisted he is desperate to get his club promoted to Bundesliga II before contemplating any move away from there, with his club currently in the promotion places.

Kerber said: "The international interest is a great honor for me and is also the result of my performances so far this season.

"However, I can completely rule out a transfer this season.

"FC Saarbrucken is the club of my heart and my dream is to see them in Bundesliga II before thinking about any transfer.

"And I still have a lot planned for the future with my club."

Meanwhile, Kris Boyd believes time is up for Alfredo Morelos at Rangers.

The 26-year-old Colombia striker, who joined the Ibrox club from HJK in 2017, is one of several Gers players out of contract at the end of the current campaign.

Morelos has scored five goals this season and missed a couple of chances in Monday’s 2-2 Old Firm draw at Ibrox which kept Celtic nine points clear of Michael Beale’s side at the top of the cinch Premiership.

Boyd, the former Gers and Scotland forward, now a pundit, raised age-old concerns about Morelos’ fitness as he told Sky Sports News: “There is no doubt for me that his time is up at Rangers.

“Alfredo Morelos is not the same player that he was for whatever reason. He might have his eyes on a move elsewhere.

“It seems to be the case every transfer window, it has not materialised and you look at it right now, the way that Michael Beale wants to play, Alfredo Morelos is nowhere near fit enough to trigger that press as such.

“It’s not anything he hasn’t done in the past.

“You are not asking someone who is not the fastest to run the 100 metres in nine seconds or whatever. Alfredo Morelos has occupied back-fours not only in Scotland but in Europe.

“I have said it before, he is a fantastic footballer when he is on it.

“He is a handful, he can score goals, he has scored over 100 goals for Rangers but at this moment in time, you feel that his time is up.

“I don’t think he is bringing anywhere near what he should be bringing to a Rangers team – although you have to say, he is not alone.”
