McCoist- I can't offer players new deals
Despite going to court last week to overturn a 12 month transfer embargo from the SFA the Ibrox boss has no idea if he has any sort of transfer budget.
With season ticket renewals still to be issued and the proposed CVA unable to be accepted until mid July McCoist has his hands when it comes to offering deals to existing players never mind bringing in new faces.
Most of the first team squad negotiated cut price release clauses when they accepted pay cuts in March.
Sone Aluko, David Healy, Andy Little and Salim Kerkar are all out of contract this month with McCoist unable to offer any of them deals to stay on at Ibrox.
“At the moment I can’t make them offers,” the Rangers boss told the Daily Record. “That makes me feel helpless to a certain extent.
“These boys deserve contracts and I want to give them something but right now I have not been given the go-ahead to do so.
“As soon as I am in the position to do that, I will but I am well aware it could be too late. These lads have to look after their careers and the well-being of their families.
“If they get offers from elsewhere at a time when we can’t give them anything, then of course they have to do what is best for themselves.
“There’s nothing I can do about that. But as soon as I’m in a position to do something about it, I will. If it’s not too late in some cases.”
