RANGERS boss Ally McCoist faces a hectic dash to rebuild his threadbare squad after Charles Green’s newco accepted the SFA’s 12-month transfer embargo. The signing ban will start on September 1, giving McCoist just 42 days to acquire enough new players to take the club through to the January transfer window of 2014. And he made his first move by opening talks with Dean Shiels, below, who is out of contract after leaving Kilmarnock. It’s understood former Motherwell midfielder Steve Jennings is also on McCoist’s radar, along with ex-Hearts playmaker Ian Black. All three are ready to play in the Third Division providing they can agree terms and are given long-term contracts. Dundee United trio Robbie Neilson, Scott Robertson and Garry Kenneth could also be targets for McCoist. The Ibrox side expect to lose top earners such as Carlos Bocanegra, Kirk Broadfoot and Maurice Edu, with the latter a target for Valencia. Green’s newco Ibrox outfit last night moved a significant step closer to securing their SFA membership, following four days of negotiations with the governing body, although the Light Blues have not signed an agreement. Club chairman Malcolm Murray said: “The choice is stark – take sanctions or risk not playing football at all. We do not wish to gamble with the club’s future so, under duress, we have taken the difficult decision to accept some sanctions in order to move forward.” The Gers have accepted sanctions that were applied to the oldco, including the transfer ban and a £160,000 fine imposed after ex-owner Craig Whyte was found guilty of bringing the game into disrepute. McCoist will now sit down with the Ibrox hierarchy to thrash out details of the players he needs as they begin life in the Third Division following the departure of Steven Naismith, Steven Whittaker, Kyle Lafferty and Jamie Ness, who received provisional international clearance from FIFA last night. The fifth player to refuse to transfer to the newco, Steven Davis, above, was still awaiting word on his clearance. The SFA were also seeking clarity on who is involved in Green’s Sevco consortium, with regards to financial backers and shareholders. In a statement they said: “The SFA has received the financial information requested. “The imposition of conditions relating to transfer of membership was made on the basis that the SFA, as the governing body, has an obligation to protect the integrity of the national game and to ensure that all member clubs operate within the Articles of Association.” http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/334274

JEAN-ALAIN BOUMSONG last night offered to return to Rangers on a cut-price contract if it helps Walter Smith resurrect the club. The French defender is so keen to go back to his crisis-ravaged former club he’s even proposed a deal that would see him paid almost half his wages in future shares of the Ibrox newco. Boumsong made the incredible gesture in an interview with Record Sport here at Euro 2012, where he’s a TV pundit for Al Jazeera. Now 32 and at Greek giants Panathinaikos – who are going through a financial meltdown of their own – he spoke of his shock at Rangers’ liquidation and distress over EBT payments. services And after learning legendary figure Smith was attempting to rescue the club by spearheading an attempted leadership coup to hijack the Charles Green takeover, Boumsong was quick to offer his own services. With Rangers continuing to contest a 12-month signing ban, the ex-Newcastle and Juventus defender said: “I only played for Rangers for six months but it was a fantastic time for me. “If I had the opportunity to go back to Rangers I would do so right away. “I’m doing well at Panathinaikos – we finished high enough to reach the Champions League qualifiers. It’s a big club but Rangers are bigger. My contract ends next season. I have another year but I’m almost free as the club has some big financial problems. “Greece is a difficult place right now, we haven’t been paid for months. It’s hard times, I need to feed my family. “But if I’d the opportunity to go back to Rangers it would not be a question of money as I know they are struggling.” Boumsong says he’d play for almost half what he’s worth in return for a stake in the business – and insists he wouldn’t do it for any other club. He added: “I don’t know the latest situation on whether Rangers can sign any new players but I know Walter Smith is trying to buy the club. “Everyone knows who he is, he has Rangers in his heart and that’s what Rangers needs. “I feel that way too so maybe we could talk, why not? Maybe part of my salary could be given to me in shares. “Instead of 100 per cent I could take 60 and the 40 be paid in shares of the new company. “I am still fit and believe I can play for another two or three years at a high level. “Rangers have some rich supporters in Scotland. Why has it taken until now for them to bring their money together? “Anyone else who loves the club has to do what they can to help.”
