McCoist: morally I should not be judge and jury

Ally McCoist has promised to play no part in making any Rangers player redundant.

Administrators Duff and Phelps look certain to implement major cuts this week with both the playing and coaching staff greatly reduced.

Gordon Smith and Ali Russell were axed last week with the guessing game underway as to which players will be made redundant.

McCoist’s own job could be under threat alongwith assistants Kenny McDowall and Ian Durrant but as the public face of the club the Ibrox boss has stated that he won’t have any role to play in job losses.

“My understanding is that I will meet with Paul Clark, from the administrators Duff and Phelps, whenever he wants and I imagine it will be early on in the week about what he thinks is the way ahead for Rangers,” McCoist said before today’s win at Inverness Caley Thistle.

“Morally, I should not and will not be judge and jury over anyone’s future. Having said that, I will help the administrators 100% in any way I can.

“Every conversation I have had with Paul Clark and Simon Shipley of Duff and Phelps has been positive.

“They seem to be knowledgeable and respectful of the size and sensitivity of the job. Hopefully we will sit down in the next day or two and things will become clearer.”

After the match the Rangers manager added: “It’s the administrator that will tell me what is happening. I think that is quite important to point that out.

“I’m part of the staff that is under the rule of the administrator. I’m no different other than I’m higher up the pecking order in terms of getting information passed to me.

“Paul Clark from Duff and Phelps has been great, it’s ironic to use the word productive about meetings with administrators, but they have been.

“I would certainly expect to have more in the next couple of days.”
