Rangers are already planning for next season after a solid debut year under Steven Gerrard.

The Liverpool legend was taking charge of his first senior side in the unfamiliar role as head coach.

But they are set to go trophyless this year after failures in both he Scottish Cup and Scottish League Cup, as well as finishing behind Celtic in the Scottish Premiership.

Though there was clear evidence of progress under Gerrard, the Ibrox outfit are keen to back the former midfielder in the transfer market as well as moving on from the Pedro Caixinha era.

One sticking point of the Portuguese coach’s reign, however, is the signing of Herrera - who has been a monumental flop in Glasgow.

The Mexican joined in the summer of 2017 for £1.5m and was supposed to add some much-needed firepower.

But the former Pumas forward failed to make any impact at the club, netting just twice in 24 appearances over the season.

Herrera was subsequently sent out on loan to Santos Laguna before being carted out to Necaxa in January this year.

And Football Insider are reporting that Rangers chiefs are desperate to cancel his contract and offload the 30-year-old from the wage bill.

The Scottish giants are willing to accept they made an error signing him and are in talks with the striker’s representatives over a compensation package.

Herrera’s contract expires in June 2020, where he is earning £20,000-a-week at Gers.

If successful, the forward will not be the first Mexican that Rangers would have booted out of the club.

Carlos Pena was axed in February after also failing to light up Ibrox during his time under Caixinha.

The 29-year-old was signed along with Herrera for a fee of £2.2m before being sent out on loan to the likes of Cruz Azul and Necaxa back in his home country.

He did not take long to find a new club though, moving to Poland and joining GKS Tychy in March
