Bothwellbear 1,392 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Rangers boss McCoist vows to keep best players RANGERS manager Ally McCoist has issued a "hands-off" warning to clubs considering a move for Lee Wallace.Chris Jack Group Sports WriterThursday 14/08/20140 CommentsSharePrintRangers boss Ally McCoist has issued a "hands-off" warning to clubs who are interested in his playersEnglish Championship side Brighton were linked this week with a swoop for the Scotland left back.But the Gers gaffer is determined to hold on to his best player and most prized asset.McCoist said: "Lee is a very important player to us. We've had absolutely no contact from Brighton and Hove Albion and I do not expect him to go."I would be hopeful as manager of the club that we can keep our best players and Lee certainly falls into that category."McCoist also dismissed speculation that former St Mirren and Norwich man Simon Lappin had joined the club on trial.The Scots midfielder is a free agent after being released by Cardiff city.Rangers return to Championship action tomorrow night when they face Falkirk, but they are set to be without right- back Richard Foster and midfielder Ian Black for the Brockville clash.The pair were crocked in Sunday's loss to Hearts at Ibrox and they are also doubtful for the Petrofac Training Cup tie against Clyde next Monday."Both players missed training," McCoist told rangers.co.uk yesterday."Richard is going to be very doubtful for Falkirk and the Clyde match on Monday, while it's the same with Blackie too."That's not ideal for us, but everybody else is in fine form."We had a closed-doors game yesterday and that gave two or three of the younger boys a run."They came through it fine, so while two of our players are struggling we have plenty of others in our squad to call on."That's why we need competition for places."We have a reasonably strong 14 or 15 players here but when we get a couple of injuries it's up to the others to come in and take their chance."Injury-hit Honduran midfielder Arnold Peralta is also out of contention with a groin problem.

Gaffbear 4,107 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 So while 2 of our players are injured it means we can bring others in...Like Jig in place of Black and McGregor in place of Foster or even better put Smith in there Ally while the kids are left tae rot again.FUCKIN INFURIATING.

WCPRANGERS1 2,997 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 14 or 15 strong players good kick in the balls for the rest of the squad that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamFyfe 1,438 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I'll be wishing Jig injured soon just so he can't get played. But then again Daly was injured for months and McCoist played him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAmo'sThighs 848 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Horrible to read that. I'd prefer if the headline was "Ally McCoist vows to coach his players" But naw, instead we get another kick in the teeth. Who played in that closed doors game? If McKay, Aird etc took part it's unlikely he'll play them in Friday. Sounding more and more like Jig will be given the midfield role. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSuedeSambas 54,648 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 If a decent offer comes in I don't think McCoist will have a say tbh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adoniram 1,919 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 14 or 15 strong players good kick in the balls for the rest of the squad that!Yet again his public utterances are an embarrassment. Further proof he doesn't rate many of the youth and i don't expect to see many of them feature until he is gone.McGregor, Mohsni and Hutton will come in to consideration as will the thought of moving McCulloch in to replace Black and Mohsni returning at CH.

Allanger 625 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I don't know how much input Ally has re selling of our players but our financial situation dictates we will probably sell if there is a decent offer Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
