Philippe Clement has refused to rule out Cyriel Dessers leaving Rangers in the January window.
The forward scored his first Ibrox hat-trick in the 5-0 thrashing of Highland League Fraserburgh as Clement's side booked their place in the last 16 of the Scottish Cup.
Linked with Italian clubs Cagliari and Empoli, as well as French side St Etienne, Dessers, 30, admits he wants to play every week after falling behind Hamza Igamane and Danilo in the forward pecking order.

Rangers boss Philippe Clement admits Dessers' future at Ibrox remains unclear
Asked if he still saw a future at Rangers for the Nigerian international, Clement said: “That's a tough question.”
'If Cyriel leaves, you will have to replace him. And it must be at least of the same quality.
“If a player stays and plays less and because of that becomes unhappy, it is not good for the club either.
“So, we'll see what happens in the next two weeks.”
