Rangers are working round the clock to recruit players now that the January window is open, says head coach Danny Rohl.

With Rohl having been appointed in October, this winter period is the German's first opportunity to make changes to his squad.

"We work at the moment 24/7 for players," he said,

"It's about decision making, it's about negotiations, it's about timing. We have some players in our mind but you have to be a little bit patient.

"You always hope as a manager, as a head coach to get very early the players in.

"January window you have to be patient, you have to be demanding, I think this is also important and you have to take the opportunities and there are opportunities in the market."

Rohl hinted left-back is an area of interest, with Jayden Meghoma the only left-sided full-back at his disposal and three right-sided options in Max Aarons, Dujon Sterling and captain James Tavernier.

Former Hearts left-back James Penrice, 27, is one name already linked with Rangers, the Scot having joined AEK Athens in July.

"On the right side, I have good options," explained Rohl.

"Jayden at the moment is very solid, especially the defence side, I like how he improved.

"If something happened in the past and I took sometimes Max on the left side, it could be an area that we are looking for to improve."
