Rangers boss Steven Gerrard faces frustration in his bid for Bournemouth defender Jack Simpson.
The Daily Star says Gers manager Gerrard was keen on drafting in the 21-year-old on a loan deal.
But the Premier League outfit won't sanction an exit for the player.
Simpson made his first-team debut for the Cherries away at Manchester City last season.
The youngster played 72 minutes of the 4-0 thrashing at the Etihad before being hauled off by Eddie Howe.
