Gers to get more from Murray mint

Rangers owner David Murray has vowed to plough more money into the club to ensure the treble-winners’ success continues.

It is clear already that Alex McLeish’s team will have a different look next season with Arthur Numan and Claudio Caniggia already gone and Mikel Arteta and Lorenzo Amoruso set to follow suit.

Murray stepped down from his post as chairman to take on the role of honorary chairman and leave the day to day running of the club to John McClelland.

But he insists he will ensure Rangers have an even stronger side for the new campaign despite the club’s debt – even if that means handing McLeish more money.

He told the Daily Record: “We have a four-year plan in place and we are working to reduce our debt but that doesn’t mean we won’t be able to spend money.

“We have already brought Nuno Capucho to Ibrox, Zura Khizanishvili has been made a generous offer and Alex McLeish is trying to bring in replacements for Mikel Arteta and Lorenzo Amoruso as well as another striker.

“I don’t see any other clubs operating like this at the moment so surely that tells you we are not as badly off as some people seem to think.

“I’m prepared to make money available to Rangers because I want our success to continue and perhaps now people will stop doubting my commitment.”
