Rangers have been told by Aberdeen any bid for midfielder Kenny McLean would be pointless.

It’s understood the Ibrox side – who have already snapped up Dons skipper Ryan Jack as a free agent – have told the Pittodrie board they’re mulling over a move.

However, despite the 25-year-old entering the final 12 months of his deal, they were warned he’s not available at any price.

Aberdeen have already lost Jack, Niall McGinn and Ash Taylor and sold Jonny Hayes to Celtic.

And MailSport believes that when Derek McInnes knocked back the chance to move to Sunderland, he wanted, and was given, assurances that no more players would be sold in this window as part of his talks.

McInnes’s only interest now is in adding to his squad before their first Europa League qualifier in a fortnight.

It’s believed they’re still hopeful their move for Scotland playmaker Shaun Maloney can go through in time for him to be registered for the tie against either Kazakhstan’s Ordabasy or Siroki Brijeg of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Meanwhile, Aberdeen supporters reacted with horror yesterday as the club unveiled their new away

strip on social media – because it looks too much like a Rangers kit!

The light blue top goes on sale tomorrow morning but they shouldn’t expect a queue at the door if the

savage response from supporters on Twitter is anything to go by.

The shirt colour is a throwback to their pre-1903 days before three clubs merged to form the present-day Reds.

And they’ve had dark blue away kits twice in the past 25 years.

But heritage or not, the light blue seems to be a step too far for the Pittodrie faithful.
