Ibrox exodus continues

The Ibrox exodus is underway with Sone Aluko joining Rhys McCabe in refusing to have his contract transferred to Charlie Green’s Sevco 5088.

Aluko joined Rangers on a short term deal in November after paying Aberdeen his own compensation fee.

His departure was expected with his contract expiring next week but confirmation represents another snub to the newclub.

Whether Green actually wants players to transfer their contracts to a club with no sponsors, no league or association to play under and no banking facilities is unclear.

Last season with no European income of any note coming in Craig Whyte claimed that there was a £10m deficit in Rangers accounts.

While Aluko wasn’t a high earner his departure followed by the bulk of the first team squad, except Lee McCulloch, could give Green the chance to restart a club with a realistic cost base and operating in the same environment as others of expenditure matching income.

Former Rangers director Dave King held talks with Green last week and was dismayed to discover that the former Sheffield United chief intended running the newclub along business lines after years of being propped up by David Murray’s flailing business empire and questionable tax schemes.

Aluko’s departure is likely to be one of the more straightforward moves with Green’s confrontational management style already concerning the players union the SPFA.

Servco are hoping to begin pre-season training on Thursday but with no meaningful negotiations with the SPFA over contracts June 28 looks like being another eventful day in the Rangers crisis.

Thursday is also pay day but with Rangers in liquidation and doubts over the status of Servo the problems are certain to continue piling up for Green and his mysterious backers.
