Fringe Rangers players face an Ibrox exit

.

But the move ? which could include the sale of £700,000 signing David Templeton ? does not have the approval of boss Ally McCoist.

However, Ibrox chief executive Graham Wallace insists the club must act now to stem massive financial losses.

McCoist had hoped to be given the green light to make more signings during the January transfer window.

But the League One leaders are haemorrhaging money at an alarming rate and Wallace admits that failure to address the over-spending could see them go the way of the previous regime.

However, he has no intention of selling stars such as Lee Wallace and Jon Daly ? it’s the fringe players he wants to get rid of.

That could spell bad news for defenders Emilson Cribari, Steven Smith and Richard Foster, midfielders Kyle Hutton, Kyle McAusland and Dean Shiels, above, plus Barrie McKay.

Templeton, who signed from Hearts last year, has started just four league games this season.

He could be a target for Wallace, albeit the Gers will want to recoup what they paid for him.

Wallace said: “I am working with Ally now in terms of his view of what he needs from a footballing capability.

“We have some players not featuring as regularly as others and we will look at whether they have a long-term place here.

“But we are not in the business of going into a fire sale.”

The former chief operating officer at Manchester City agrees that the forthcoming transfer window will provide an opportunity to get rid of the dead wood.

“It may be we agree that there are a number of players we would be open to either loan out or take offers for,” said Wallace.

“We are obviously then dependent on there being a market for them and clubs being interested in engaging with us.”

The new boss is determined to be ruthless when it comes to getting value for money as he attempts to ensure the club at least breaks even from now on.

“If you look at the size of our playing squad, we have got the second most expensive wage bill in Scotland and yet we are playing in the third tier,” he said.

“Part of the challenge that I have in working with the manager is in balancing the football capability with the costs of that so we still have a winning team.”

Tbh we dont need SPL wage players not playing so it makes sense to sell.

[ClydebankBearWATP 877]

Good, it's what we have been screaming out for, let's hope Ally can.see that and doesn't spit the dummy

[trueblue68 2,497]

Some do need to be moved on.

[OLE SUPER WILBERT 2,475]

Keep McKay but get rid of the rest of them.

Would only sell Tempelton for the right price.

[nachothelegend 1,932]

Big Cribari and Hutton have to go I'm afraid.

[skinnymate1690 665]

the problem is who is going to take some of them ? i would imagine that they will be on better wages with us than they will get elsewhere

[j1mgg 3,766]

Sadly we will get rid of players(McKay and Templeton) that would be amazing for a different manager.

If they aren't going to get played then we have to move them on.

[bawsburst 1,381]

KM will be the carrot for Mccoist.

[Hedgehog Slap 12]

Keep Aird and McKay.

We'll have a bastard of a time ditching some of those players, given their inflated wages and questionable performances. I still find the relative failures of Shiels and Templeton incomprehensible, but - realistically - it's probably better for all parties that they move on.

Finding buyers for Cribari, Smith and Foster will be pretty difficult. Hell, one of those sales alone would merit winning a series of The Apprentice.

If there was an offer of £700k for Templeton? Take it. He'll spend half his time injured and at least half of the playing time being ineffective.

[WilliamFyfe 1,438]

I wouldn't sell Templeton just yet. I still have a bit of faith in him.

Players like McKay I'd loan out.

Dead wood has to go but. Must be losing loads a week on lads that never play.

[LegendofCoop 17,489]

We have to act now, cut our cloth accordingly! We can't afford to wait for some players to come good! Those on higher wages but who will get no game time would be better off moving on! Saving wages is almost as important as getting a fee!

[Alec87 331]

We will end up having to pay off a good few of them to get rid.

[gogzy 31,195]

back to the boardroom den with you.

[kaiser1041 9,088]

So all players with a fringe are for sale ! Fuck sake this is getting worse

[bawsburst 1,381]

back to the boardroom den with you.

Inside info KM the trade off be afraid be very afraid........

[gogzy 31,195]

score for fun up here.

[bawsburst 1,381]

Petrol money 5k a week...

[kaiser1041 9,088]

Petrol money 5k a week...

is this really you bawburst or a rebel algrithim

[Big Al 55 9,317]

But £1m a month is the expected burn rate, it's ok, it's in the IPO, it's all budgeted for, we're a big club in a small league, we need to retain the infrastructure....blah fucking blah, 12 months and £12m later.

No there's been no mis-management

BS should actually be a hero.

[NixonRFC 1,473]

Guys like Dean Sheils signed the best contract of his life, it'd be beyond any logic to expect him to walk away from that not even half way through it

[STEPPS BOY 75,120]

Hegarty,Cribari,Hutton,smith,Foster,Shiels,Templeton and Little should all be shown the door.

Time to move on.
