Alex Rae has insisted there is "nothing to report" on James Tavernier's future at Rangers.
The Ibrox captain has been linked with a summer exit to Super Lig Trabzonspor.
Reports claim a bid has been rejected but coach Rae brushed off questions on Tavernier's future as he branded the right-back an "integral" part of the squad.
After the defeat to Manchester United, Rae commented: "There is speculation throughout Tavernier's time here. He has been linked many times, lots of rumours.
"We just deal with it as it happens, nothing to report as such.
"Tav is an integral part of what we do here and hopefully that continues."

Pushed on a rejected bid from Trabzonspor, he added: "Listen, I have no idea what the bid is. That is kind of above my pay grade.
"For me, being at this club is vital, he has been an integral part over recent years.
"We'll wait and see what happens on all of them - I'm not too switched on about ins and outs."
Asked how Tavernier should be remembered if he does leave, Rae said: "Listen, I am here to talk about the game today guys, it's not really fair on me to actually say about someone who has actually left or is being remembered.
"He is still very much part of the squad."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
