Philippe Clement has insisted he is not aware of how close Ianis Hagi and Todd Cantwell are to leaving Rangers.
The Ibrox boss was quizzed on speculation surrounding the Ibrox duo with summer exits expected.
Reports have suggested Hagi could be allowed to leave Rangers for nothing with Cantwell having requested a transfer exit and a move to Trabzonspor reportedly in the pipeline.
However, Clement would not be drawn on the state of play for either player as he was grilled in his pre-match press conference ahead of the match against Motherwell.
Asked whether there was truth in the suggestion Hagi could leave for nothing or have his contract ripped up, Clement said: "That's a rumour. Not one that I have heard until now.

"I am not busy all this time with what amount of money a player is going out or coming in or all those things - that is not my job to do.
"My job is to see what is necessary for the squad, what profiles we need. And there are other people financially making decisions.
"It's not me making that kind of decision."
Then, pushed for clarity on Cantwell's situation with reports a move is imminent, he added: "I cannot give any more information, no. I don't know how close it is or not, no idea."
