Rangers round-up: Ferguson says first-teamer could surprise & several teams to want McInnes outcast

Rangers manager Derek McInnes has received advice from pundit Derek Ferguson to deploy winger Djeidi Gassama as an impactful substitute. Ferguson noted that Gassama's running power creates problems for tiring opponents late in matches. Meanwhile, Dundee United manager Jim Goodwin confirmed interest in exploring a permanent transfer for 24-year-old on-loan Rangers midfielder Lyall Cameron, though he acknowledged Cameron remains on a long-term contract at Ibrox.

Rangers are preparing to face St Mirren on November 7 as they attempt to narrow the gap to Celtic. McInnes expects Badredine Bouanani to recover from illness, while Lawrence Shankland and Cammy Devlin are slated to return from injuries in early December.
