Administrators To Discuss Terms With Players
Administrators for financially crippled Rangers are meeting players and staff at the club's Murray Park training complex on Thursday morning.
It is believed that a programme of job cuts is to be arranged but it will be next week at the earliest before details emerge.
Meanwhile, in a statement released on Wednesday night from Paul Clark and David Whitehouse of the administrators Duff and Phelps, said: "We can report we have made very good progress within the first 24 hours of being appointed administrators over Rangers Football Club.
"Our first priority has been to ensure that the football club continues to function and this is being achieved with the help of staff, players and management at the Club."
Messers Clark and Whitehouse said that in particular, they wanted to thank the Club's business partners who were "going the extra mile" to ensure that Saturday's home match against Kilmarnock goes ahead as scheduled.
"We had extremely constructive discussions with Strathclyde Police and we can confirm the match will take place," they said.
They added: "We fully recognise this is a difficult time for players and staff at the Club and are extremely appreciative of their reaction to the situation. We will be holding meetings with the staff on a weekly basis at least to inform them of developments."
