Ally McCoist has made his first official comment since Rangers went into liquidation- by denying that the club he managed last season is dead!
While Charlie Green attempts to enforce TUPE legislation the former Rangers manager has hit out at players for exercising their right to move on.
Rhys McCabe and Sone Aluko have both stated that they will not join Green’s Sevco 5088 club with other more high profile players expected to do likewise.
McCoist was fulsome in his praise for the players last season when they took a 75% wages cut to avoid blanket redundancies but was unable to contain his anger and disbelief at the latest developments in Green’s troubled reign.
“Players have their own decisions to make and I understand that,” McCoist told the Rangers website. “But the question they have to ask themselves is do they want to play for Rangers or not?
“The formation of a new company is not the issue. The players would be playing for the same club – Rangers – in front of the same fans.
“If players want to leave and play somewhere else then they should be honest with the Rangers supporters.
“I don’t want Rangers fans to be reading over the next few days how devastated players are about having to go. The fans deserve better than that. They are not daft.
“I can understand if a player has the chance to go somewhere else and there is uncertainty about which division we will be playing in.
“If that is the case that is understandable but they should not expect sympathy from Rangers supporters if they use the transfer of contracts as an excuse.”
He added: “After all that the club and the fans have gone through, the supporters, above all, deserve the truth and should not have to listen to stories trying to sugar-coat the possible departure of players from the club.
“The players were magnificent last season and made great sacrifices and that will never be forgotten.
“Now, we have to look forward and everyone should be upfront and honest about their intentions.”

Did Ally bally and his forty cheating thieves really think that players would fall for the old…’I beleive it so it must be true…” routine. Stupidest hun of all. Zero motivational skills. Zero man management skills. Zero charisma. Zero influence. Zero thinking abilities. Zero team with zero money. Zero league to play in. Zero credibility and zero career. Sevco 5088 meets Zero 2012…dream team with zero prospects.
To avoid a criminal offence taking place, Mr Green, The Scottish Media, The SFA and SPL should be aware of the following:
The law prohibits the re-use of a name of a company previously gone into liquidation, (section 216 of the Insolvency Act 1986). A prohibited name is a name by which the liquidated company was known at any time in the 12 months immediately before liquidation: whether this is a registered name at Companies House, or its trading name, or any name so similar to its registered or trading name as to suggest an association with the liquidated company. It is a criminal offence to contravene section 216 of the Insolvency Act. Anyone contravening the Act may be prosecuted by the Department of Business Innovation and Skills and could go to prison if convicted. In addition, under section 217 of the Act, you could be made personally liable for the debts incurred during the time that you were involved in managing a business using a prohibited name, even if it was a limited company. This could happen whether you are prosecuted under section 216 of the Act or not.
Ally McCoist should be aware of the following:
Even if you are not contravening Section 216 of the Act, you will be personally responsible for the debts of the company if you are involved in managing a business and you act on instructions from someone you know who is contravening Section 216. This is because you are helping someone to commit a criminal offence by contravening Section 216.
