this is the crux of it for me. Both he and Ally have learnt valuable lessons in these first 4-5 months. In terms of both transfer dealings and 'kitty' money they have both been naive. I think Ally failed to learn from Walter in this respect
It'll be beneficial for both sides - frees Beattie up to find a club over the next week and rangers will save on wages (most likely reduced from the amount due to him under contract)
