Steven Whittaker has rejected Rangers' latest contract offer amid ongoing speculation he is set to move to Turkey with Bursaspor.[LNB] The utility player has been talking about a new deal with the Ibrox side since the end of last season, but as yet the two parties have been unable to reach an agreement.[LNB]Turkish side Bursaspor have so far failed in three bids for Whittaker, however, they could now return with a new offer.[LNB]Agent Ken Anderson told the Evening Times: "Rangers tabled a new and improved offer to increase Steven's contract beyond 2012.[LNB]"However, although they have upped the ante and the ground between us and them has closed it has still not closed enough and we have rejected that new offer.[LNB]"Rangers have not said if that will be their final offer to extend Steven's current contract so we will have to wait and see on that.[LNB]"But as it stands I expect Steven to see out the remaining 12 months of his deal with them as it is clear Rangers value the player very highly."
