McCoist stays at Rangers

Ally McCoist will continue as Rangers manager for the time being following his first meeting with the Rangers directors since he handed in his resignation.

McCoist held talks with directors in Glasgow yesterday afternoon but the club have confirmed that he would continue preparing as normal for their Scottish Championship fixture against Livingston on Saturday.

The meeting came hours after Rangers confirmed they were fighting attempts by the Scottish Professional Football League to force them to pay a £250,000 (€315,000) fine for the oldco club’s undisclosed payments toplayers.

Many had expected McCoist to leave following the club’s confirmation of his resignation on Monday, but he is continuing to serve his 12-month notice period.

Yesterday’s meeting lasted less than an hour and the uncertainty over McCoist’s position, who claimed he wanted manager for the ‘foreseeable future’ will be one of many significant talking points at the club’s AGM on Monday.
