Rangers boss Mark Warburton says he is still waiting for Joey Barton to make up his mind on a move to Ibrox.
Barton, 33, was pictured being shown round the Glasgow giants' stadium and Murray Park training base last Saturday.
The free agent was named Burnley's player of the year and has been offered a 12-month contract extension by the English Championship winners but is also mulling over Warburton's proposal of a longer-term deal with Rangers.
Asked if he was still waiting for a response, the Gers boss said: "Yeah basically.''
However, Warburton -- speaking at the prematch news conference for Saturday's Scottish Cup final with Hibernian -- remains confident.
"Joey is a player that will have many, many suitors I'm sure," he added. "Our job is to sell the opportunity that Rangers represents.
''We're never going to compete with wages down south, that's an obvious point to highlight. But if we can show what we are as a club, the support, the history, the stature of the club and what our aspirations and targets are then hopefully any player will find that appealing.
''If they do hopefully we can conclude business. If not, we move on.
''We were delighted to welcome Joey to Glasgow last weekend. He was great company. He's a very experienced, a very combative and highly intelligent footballer, so we were delighted to talk to him.
''I'm sure he will have many suitors but our hope is that we can get it over the line.''
