Jelavic committed to Rangers

Rangers striker Nikica Jelavic admits he is flattered by reported interest from Liverpool, but has stressed his commitment to the Scottish club.

Speculation Jelavic was poised to move from Rangers heightened when the Croatian forward missed Monday's Scottish Premier League win at Motherwell with a groin injury.

However, Jelavic maintains his focus is on succeeding at Ibrox after netting 12 SPL goals this term.

Jelavic - who has two and a half years on his contract - was quoted as saying in a Croatian newspaper: "Of course it (the link to Liverpool) is impressive to me, but I do not know how much truth there is.

"My task is to play. Liverpool is a great name, but I say the question is are they really interested?

"Every day in the paper a new club appears that wants me, and it is a little ridiculous. I do not know anything.

"That's why I just do not read newspapers, I want to concentrate on Rangers."

He added: "I've got two and a half years on my contract and if the club decides to sell me, because they know that we are in a difficult financial situation, then fine."
