Former Rangers defender Gregory Vignal believes his old club face a dilemma over the future of Borna Barisic.
The Croatia international has been first choice at left-back at Ibrox for several seasons now.
He's more or less played every week of this campaign, with Ridvan Yilmaz out with a long-term injury.
The Turkish defender, 21, was signed as part of a £5million in the summer to challenge Barisic at left full-back.
However, this has not panned out to be the case due to the youngsters injury issues.
Barisic has been a solid member of the Rangers team since he arrived from NK Osijek in 2018.
But with the 30-year-old's contract up in less than 18-months' time, Vignal believes this summer would be the right time to try earn some cash for Barisic if they won't want to offer him a new contract.

He told the Daily Express: “I remember we had just played Osijek in the Europa League in 2018 and Borna had done very well. I went to see Steven after the game and I said to him ‘I think he’s the one’ and he immediately agreed.
“He’s been a very good player for Rangers but he is over 30 now and he has one more year on his contract so Rangers will either need to sell him in the summer, give him a new contract or let him go in the summer of 2024.
“I’m not sure if they are hoping Ridvan Yilmaz will come through to take his place or whether Michael Beale has some other ideas."
