Gers manager hails attitude of players
Rangers boss Ally McCoist insists there is no divide in his squad on the subject of wage cuts and remains hopeful an agreement to prevent redundancies can be reached.
Gers' administrators have accelerated attempts to sell the club after failing to finalise a consensus on wage reductions despite closing in on an agreement in principle 24 hours earlier.
About half a dozen players had not agreed personal contractual details relating to cuts of up to 75 per cent on Tuesday night, when the likes of Steven Whittaker, Steven Davis and Steven Naismith were locked in negotiations, and no breakthrough emerged on Wednesday.
Sacrifice
That prompted administrators Duff and Phelps to warn that Rangers would not finish the season unless they achieved a quick sale or made severe cost-cutting measures.
Most of the players left Murray Park on Wednesday from around 3pm while the rest of the workforce were summoned to an Ibrox meeting at 4pm to be told of the situation.
However, McCoist will not hear anyone say his players have not tried to save the club through personal sacrifice.
Quoted on Rangers'
official website, McCoist said: "Everybody has the club's best interests at heart and there are absolutely no personal agendas within the playing staff or any other staff.
"We all want what is best for the football club and that is what we are all still attempting to achieve.
"There has been a lot of hard work already, nobody should underestimate the amount that has gone in in the last few days, and that will absolutely continue in the search for the positive result we all hope we can get.
"Nobody should underestimate the sacrifice that the players have been asked to make.
"It is to their eternal credit that they have discussed it and gone through it and in a lot of the cases there have been agreements.
"It's still not dead and buried and to a man everybody is behind us and wants to take this club forward.
No split
"All the players, and I mean all the players, and indeed all the staff can reassure everybody and every Rangers fan that they are singing from the same hymn sheet.
"I've got to tell you there is no split camp at all. It would annoy me, or in fact anger me for anybody to suggest that is the case.
"I can promise you that it is not the case, it is far from it. Everybody to a man is together in this and we will get through this."
