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."
