SPL - Rangers accept McKay offer

Wed, 22 Feb 10:45:00 2012

Rangers have accepted an offer for Matt McKay from South Korean club Busan I'Park.

Matt McKay - 0

The transfer, if completed, would give Rangers a much-needed injection of cash and reduce their wage bill as administrators look to cut costs at the club.

A statement on the club's official website read: "Rangers have confirmed today (Wednesday) that a fee has been agreed with Busan but that negotiations on the transfer are still continuing."

McKay joined Rangers from Brisbane Roar in August for a fee after captaining his former side to the A-League title. However, the Australia midfielder, who had been voted his country's player of the year, made only three first-team appearances for Rangers.

The 29-year-old had a brief spell in South Korea in 2006 when he joined Incheon United on loan during the Australian close season. Administrators have not announced any job cuts at Rangers since being appointed on Valentine's Day and have said redundancies are not inevitable, according to manager Ally McCoist.

The administrators have so far focused on probing recent financial dealings around the club, confirming on Tuesday that owner Craig Whyte had paid off an £18 million debt to Lloyds Banking Group with money raised from future season ticket sales.

  6. this is getting boring, its just a football club, sell­ Ibrox to a supermarket chain and pay back the british­ taxpayer.
    Surely Rangers would be able to share with­ Celtic and pay them rent.

  11. One less for Ally to Pay Off, although he was a great­­ signing and made a big difference, Matt said,"­­ Rangers are the Best club I NEVER played for but the­­ Manager knew nothing about Tactics, and until last­­ Tuesday when it was closed down, he was always in the­­ Canteen eating all the Pies".
    Good luck Matt­ with­ your move to Busan L Park from Broke Ibrox Park,­ and­ don't worry mate about missing Mass on­ Sundays,­ plenty of Chapel's in South Korea.
    Who is­ next ??

    21 Dafto, you have such a poor opinion of the Future­ Champions, one would think you are upset just because­ Cragie sold a few old Arsenal Shares to a Russian. It­ must be nice to be a Goody Goody and have been among­ your fellow ORC'S on Saturday singing all of those­ old community songs to the victorious Killie Fans, and­ it seems that Strathclydes finest were so impressed by­ the singing that they recorded it and sent copies to­ the SFA and FIFA. The Administrators­ Nuff'n'Helps will now have to make allowance to­ pay another fine, I'm so glad Rangers have Loyal­ Fans like you. Keep it up Dafto your doing a good job.

    26, Andrew have you finished your shift in the Public­ Lavvie, and back again for another pounding, what do­ you think about the sale of "The Gunners­ Shares" , each day brings more ammo for the Celtic­ Faithful. and now the News that the Treble is still on­ for Rangers, "Administratuion, Liquidation, and­ Relegation. This will be followed by Humiliation. As­ for your well researched post, please note Celtic did­ not go into Administration and did not win Trophies by­ cheating as Murrymints did. The Big Jug as you call it­ was won fairly by a totally Scottish Team put together­ by a Scotsman Jock Stein, not a load of overpriced­ muppets avoiding tax payments to HMRC.

  20. Pacific Shelf 595 Limited

    The above Company was­ incorporated on 11 October 1994, with a registered­ office at 24 Great King Street, Edinburgh.

    This­ Company subsequently changed its name and became­ "The Celtic Football and Athletic Company­ Limited" and currently trades as Celtic Football­ Club.
    ...
    So let us start the campaign that as the­ old Company folded in 1994 and was replaced by this­ Company, that all trophies, including the big jug, won­ before 1994 be stripped from their official records.
    ­
    The Company that Peter Liewell runs has a very very­ proud history going back all of 18 years and has won 7­ titles, 6 scottish cups and 5 league cups.

    Pass this­ info around every bear you know, get on the phone-ins­ and let us ensure the gloating fans of Pacific Shelf­ 595 Limited that we are not the first to think about a­ change of name, and that it doesnt necessarily mean­ that previous history is lost.
