McCulloch doesn't blame walk away's

Lee McCulloch has refused to condemn the Rangers players that have turned their back on Sevco.

Charlie Green, Ally McCoist and Sandy Jardine have all hit out at the ten players who have refused to follow McCulloch’s lead.

Yesterday Norwich City and Sion announced the signings of Steven Whittaker and Kyle Lafferty as the reality of Rangers liquidation begins to sink in.

With no word yet on what level if any that Sevco will be playing football at McCulloch takes a realistic professional attitude to the decision of others to quit Ibrox.

“I do not blame any of the guys and I do not look upon them as turning their backs on the club,” he told the Daily Record. “I also think it’s wrong to accuse them of chasing money.

“All they have done is look out for their families and their careers. Most of the guys who have left are internationalists and need to be playing at a certain level.

“It should also be remembered the sacrifices they made to help save jobs at this club. They gave up hundreds of thousands of pounds for the good of the club when we went into administration.

“That should never be forgotten and it wasn’t the act of selfish men.”

McCulloch added: “I do not have hard feelings towards any of them and I never will.

“They have been my mates and I know it will remain that way for years to come but I also understand why the new owners of Rangers are angry.

“I would be too if I happened to be in their shoes. They’ve just lost several assets for nothing.

“It has just been unfortunate for players and directors that few things have been resolved in terms of where we will be playing next season. The uncertainty surrounding the future of Rangers has crippled us even more.”
