SPL block Rangers signing of Daniel Cousin
Despite going into administration on Tuesday the club announced the signing of Cousin on Monday on a reported wage of £7,500 per week.
A transfer embargo is also applied to any team in administration with the SPL announcing tonight that they have blocked the registration of Cousin.
The SPL statement reads: “The SPL was at 3.26pm today presented with a contract between Daniel Cousin (“the Player”) and Rangers FC dated 17 February 2012, signed by the Player and by Paul Clark, the Joint Administrator of The Rangers Football Club plc (in Administration).
“In terms of SPL Rule A6.20, the consent of the Board of the SPL was required for the Registration of the Player with the SPL. The Board of the SPL declined to give that consent.
“Accordingly the Player is not Registered with the SPL and is not eligible to Play in SPL Matches. Rangers FC have the right to appeal this decision to the Judicial Panel of the Scottish FA.
