DaMarcus Beasley has all but given up on staying at Rangers next season, despite suggesting he would take a pay cut to do so.[LNB] United States midfielder Beasley, one of six players out of contract at Ibrox this summer, has yet to be offered a new deal.[LNB]"Rangers haven't spoken to me about coming back so I guess you can put two and two together and make your own conclusions," said Beasley, whose three years in Scottish football have been blighted by injury.[LNB]"But never say never. I would consider (a pay cut) so I wouldn't count that out.[LNB]"I have a perfect situation here from a life standpoint and I love playing for a great club like Rangers.[LNB]"I really do love the club and Glasgow feels like home.[LNB]"I've made a lot of friends here and, no matter what happens, it will always be a place I'll come back to."[LNB]The 27-year-old also paid tribute to manager Walter Smith, ranking him alongside his former boss at PSV Eindhoven, Gus Hiddink.[LNB]"I think Walter is up there with coaches like Hiddink," the winger told www.yanks-abroad.com.[LNB]"People look at trophies as signs of success and Walter's got a lot. He's done great and he gets the best out of us." Despite his recent lack of match action, Beasley is hopeful of being selected for his country's World Cup squad.[LNB]"It's been an up and down year for me and I haven't played as much as I'd like, but I still hope I can make the team," said the former Manchester City player, who would be making his third finals appearance.[LNB]"There are about 15 or 16 players who are definitely going so I'm hoping to grab one of those last spots."
