Scottish Premier League - Rangers admit everyone's for sale

Eurosport - Mon, 06 Jul 15:22:00 2009

Rangers manager Walter Smith admits every single player is still up for sale this summer.

FOOTBALL Rangers Walter Smith - 0

The Ibrox club revealed back in January they could be forced to sell key personnel in a bid to balance the books, albeit no big names left at that time.

Fans had hoped winning the Premier League - and securing automatic entry into the lucrative group stages of the Champions League as a result - would mean holding on to their top stars, but Smith says every player has a price regardless of a £10million boost for the coffers.

He told the Sunday Mail: "What happened in January is still there. Every player is susceptible to a bid. We told them circumstances meant we had to sell a player and we're still in that situation.

"I know there's a feelgood factor after winning the double but this doesn't go away.

"Yes, it's far less of a problem than in January. But the problem most teams out of the big leagues have is still at Rangers' door."

  2. Reading over the posts again I see Paul the Gonad came­ back on after we'd all gone... Trying to pretend he­ wasn't posting before... Is this him building up to­ his Defence in court where he pleads insanity? Or has­ he really lost the plot... Right enough, if he thinks­ he's living in Dubai just 'cos we got a wee bit­ of sun last week, I guess there is a want about him...

  3. Nas he's a good player - Not outstanding but way­ decent - And he's a strong player too... Saw him­ few times for WBA and he gets up well to win a ball...­ Might not get many goals, but he'll help wee Skippy­ with a few...
    BTW, I reckon Davie Jones is none other­ than Paul G after coming out of Bin Laden's cave.

  7. Alright Stuart... Ye think you are making headway and­ that some bluenoses are not as bad as they make out­ (Like Gary S) and then this banger comes on shouting­ about Cancer and shyte... My Father-in-Law died of Bone­ cancer 5 years ago, and My mum has had a few scares...­ If he'd seen anybody with Cancer and how they go­ through the mill with it, He wouldn't be spouting­ this pish. I noticed how early he posted, he must have­ wet the bed and was in a bad mood eh?
