Rangers have rejected a second approach from West Brom for their captain James Tavernier, according to Sky sources.

The Sky Bet Championship club submitted a loan offer for the 26-year-old defender with an option to buy in January on Friday.

Tavernier, who is set to lead Rangers into Sunday's Old Firm against Celtic - live on Sky Sports Football - was last approached by West Brom in August, but they saw a £3m bid rejected.

The full-back has made more than 140 appearances for Rangers since joining from Wigan Athletic in 2015 and scored a penalty for Steven Gerrard's side in their opening-day draw against Aberdeen.
