    The CoS is a civil court, these are criminal matters.

    A private prosecution if successful would, following on the sfa would then be duty bound as well as morally bound to act, failure by them to do so could also see them  prosecuted for aiding and abetting a convicted party.

    Club goals scored by age 22: Didier Drogba - 8 Thierry Henry - 57 Zlatan Ibrahimovic - 62 Alan Shearer - 65 Luis Suarez - 77 Wayne Rooney - 94 Cristiano Ronaldo - 97 Alfredo Morelos - 100
    Far more factual than any unconfirmed phantom bids 🤫

    backup got a reaction from Bobby Hume in Well done Alfredo   
    The Colombian has been linked with an Ibrox exit but Gerrard remains hopeful he will stay.

    Steven Gerrard has opened up on Alfredo Morelos' future at Rangers and admits the club have only received one bid for the striker during the manager's time at Ibrox.
    The Colombian, who scored his 30th goal of the season in their 2-1 defeat to Kilmarnock, has been linked with an Ibrox exit this summer.
    The 22-year-old was the subject of transfer interest from the China Super League in 2018, with bids upwards of £8million reportedly being turned down by Rangers
    Gerrard, who is set to confirm the signing of Greg Stewart from Birmingham this week, hasn’t given up hope of keeping the forward at Ibrox next season.


    But the manager said there has only been a single derisory offer for his main man over the past 12 months.
    He said: “Will we see him here next season? He is on a four-year contract.

    "We have had one bid for Alfredo since I have been Rangers manager and it was for three million euros. On that basis, would you expect to see him back here in the summer?”
    “It is good for him to go away and remember another goal, rather than the last four weeks.
    "It was a great finish from Alfredo, a poacher’s goal and his all round level this season deserves 30 goals. I am pleased for him.

    Rangers ace Flanagan’s appeal against two-match ban delayed until tomorrow
    The Light Blues defender was handed a retrospective suspension elbowing celtic skipper Scott Brown and his appeal will now be heard at Hampden tomorrow instead
    By Aidan Scott
    JON FLANAGAN'S appeal hearing against his two-match ban for elbowing Scott Brown has been pushed back.

    The Rangers star was due to appear in front of an SFA panel at a Hampden hearing this morning.


    “We cannot understand how these two incidents could be studied yet only one be considered worthy of punishment.

    “It seems as if Rangers’ players are being held to a different code of conduct from players at other clubs.

    “We shall vigorously defend Mr Flanagan and have also asked for the full transparency on what matters are brought forward for retrospective action.

    “Are those decisions being made even-handedly?”

    Mark Allen explains Rangers' transfer policy and Steven Gerrard's input on signings
    The Ibrox director says it's an "open environment" when it comes to discussions over potential new players.

    Rangers director of football Mark Allen has explained how much of a say Steven Gerrard has on transfers at Ibrox.
    Many clubs now have a director of football alongside a head coach or manager who is responsible for signing players.
    After a big overhaul last summer there were questions over who had the final say on signings at Ibrox, but the director has revealed it's a bit of both at Rangers .
    Allen told Rangers TV: "I think the most important thing for me is there’s no single point of decision.
    “Just to qualify that: I don’t mean it’s a committee, what I mean is we bounce off each other.
    “There are a number of targets who are identified by the scouting department, those targets are evaluated against what we believe we need and ultimately a list is produced.
     
    
“Those lists are discussed at length - looking at clips, going to watch the players, finding out as much as we can about their background.
    “Then we’ll sit down with a very small group and plot through the priorities and almost rank the players in terms of first preference, second preference et cetera, because you’re never convinced you’re going to get a potential target over the line.
    “Then ultimately myself and Steven will land on a point, and I’ll say this candidly - I will not sign a player Steven doesn’t think he’s going to play in his first team.
    “We have a very open environment where obviously when you’re talking about signings you’re talking in terms of wages, transfer fees et cetera.
    “So an open and honest policy has to exist where we’ll all comment on what we think are the pros and cons of any particular target.
     
    “So it’s invaluable, the physical input from Jordan Milsom, the coaching aspects from Tom Culshaw and Mick Beale, and Gary Mac is obviously vastly experienced in terms of players and playing at certain levels and being able to cope with the environment.
    “Those are all factors in terms of looking at it for myself and Steven, and obviously Andy Scoulding plays a big part in that as the head of scouting.”
    Rangers have already signed up Steven Davis, Jordan Jones and Jake Hastie for next season, as Allen tries to get a squad in place early on.
    He added: "Everyone’s aware when the transfer window opens and closes so the only business you can conclude before are players who can join you who are out of contract or on Bosmans.
    “So I would look at that as the low-hanging fruit, our job is to make sure that not only our squad is strong and capable of mounting the challenge that we want to make, but ultimately this about adding some quality to the existing quality we’ve got.
     
    “Like in any season there’ll be players who come in and players who go, but the reality is the transfer window isn’t open officially yet, so other than the Bosmans there’s nothing we can do that this moment in time.
    “I don’t think it’s a secret to say we’re looking at somebody in that attacking midfield area who can bring us a little bit of joy toward the top end of the pitch.
    “There’s no secret about the fact that Joe Worrall will go back and return to Nottingham Forest so obviously there’s a focus on making sure we’re robust enough there.
    “Generally we’re looking at where we can strengthen, bearing in mind the number of games we hope to play next season.”
