Wigan have rejected a transfer request from striker Lee
McCulloch.
McCulloch handed in a transfer request on Friday after Wigan
rejected a bid from Rangers for his services earlier this
week.
New Rangers boss Walter Smith is keen to bring the Scottish
international to Ibrox as he looks to continue his reshaping of the
squad.
However, Wigan manager Paul Jewell rejected Rangers' £750,000 bid
out of hand describing it as 'derisory'.
Wigan's decision is thought to have upset McCulloch as he is
believed to be keen to make the switch to Rangers.
The former Motherwell star handed in the transfer request in a bid
to try and engineer a move to Ibrox, but Wigan have moved quickly
to reject his request.
