Rangers manager Ally McCoist is eyeing up a potential loan move for Polish striker Pawel Brozek
The Ibrox boss wants the 28-year-old to join the Scottish champions on loan from Turkish club Trabzonspor until the end of the season.
However McCoist was quick to pour cold water on suggestions that the hitman will be a replacement for top-scorer Jelavic, insisting that he would like to see both players lead the Rangers attack.
Brozek, who has 30 caps for Poland, will be hoping to command some regular playing time ahead of Euro 2012 should his move to Ibrox become a reality.
The Pole has made just 19 appearances and scored three goals, since signing for Trabzonspor from Wis?a Kraków last year.
McCoist said: "We have touched base with his club in terms of seeing if a deal can be put together. The lad wants to play as it's in his best interests with the Euros just round the corner.
"I haven't been told it is connected to the Jelavic deal, I'm hoping it is not as I fancy the two of them working together but time will tell."
Jelavic, who has scored 14 league goals this season, was the subject of a failed bid from West Ham this week and is a reported target for a host of English clubs.
