Ryan Jack 'rejected' by Standard Liege as former Rangers star suffers major setback in search for next club

Standard Liege have reportedly rejected the chance to sign released Rangers midfielder Ryan Jack on a free transfer.

The former Ibrox player is looking for a new club after spending seven years in Govan, in a spell which saw the 32-year-old win a Premiership title, a Scottish Cup, and play a big part in the run to the 2022 Europa League final in Seville. However, a string of injuries saw Philippe Clement release him this summer, leading to links with a move to Dundee last month. But now reports in Belgium have revealed the Scotland international was offered to Standard in a bid to resurrect his career abroad.

But it seems the cash-strapped Belgian side have declined to offer Jack a deal with Croatian manager Ivan Leko not interested and have turned their attention instead to former Bochum star Christophe Antwi-Adjei and ex-Ghent player Dylan Bronn instead, with both also available for nothing this summer. Jack was a part of Steve Clarke 's Euro 2024 squad despite managing just five league starts and 11 Premiership appearances in total for the Gers last season, but failed to play a single minute in Germany.
