ROVERS have told Vratislav Gresko 'sign in the next 24 hours or we'll look elsewhere.'

Souness wants to add the Slovakian international to his squad after he impressed during a loan spell last season.

But the Rovers boss is start to lose patience and has issued the Parma full-back with an ultimatum.

"We need an answer on that one by the end of today, one way or another," said chief executive John Williams.

If a deal for Gresko falls through, Souness will turn his attention to Philippe Leonard.
