Former Rangers hero Andy Halliday insists it would be "unforgivable" if the Ibrox chiefs allowed Ryan Kent and Alfredo Morelos to leave the club for free at the end of the season.
The duo are in the final year of their Ibrox deals and could agree a pre-contact move away from Govan for nothing from January.
Kent has struggled to capture his best for so far this season and again looked off the pace during the win over Dundee United, whilst Morelos has started just one game this term after being pulled up by manager Gio van Bronckhorst for fitness and disciplinary issues.
The Colombian didn't make an appearance off the bench against United just days after he faced off against Serie A leaders Napoli in the Champions League; and although Hearts midfielder Halliday admits he can understand why fans are calling for the out of form pair to be out of the XI, he insists the board must step up and offer them new deals to avoid a cut-price exit.
