The player impressed Rangers manager Walter Smith during a lengthy trial spell and the Scottish champions tried to sign him under the impression he was a free agent.
However, French third division club Guegnon are seeking compensation for Kerkar, who left them in the summer.

Hide AdSmith told www.rangersfc.co.uk: "Unfortunately for the lad we can't get a decision from FIFA in terms of compensation.
"Guegnon have released him but they are still claiming compensation.
"So, while this situation remains the same, we won't be taking him."
