The Kevin Phillips to Rangers story appears to be alive again.
Apparently Rangers have made contact and are trying to beat Sunderland down in price from the £4million they want. It is believed Sunderland still owe Rangers a big amount for Tore Andre Flop. Middlesbrough and Portsmouth are interested as well, but according to Phillips' agent the big interest is from Rangers, and Phillips is very keen on the idea, having been to Ibrox several times over the last 2 years to watch games. Phillips is also reported to have slashed his wage demands which looked to have scuppered Rangers' interest a few weeks ago.
Interestingly Rangers have refused to comment on the story. When there's no truth in a story, Rangers are never slow to rubbish it.
Is this the real reason Rangers suddenly pulled out of the Figueroa deal when it looked signed and sealed ?
