Executive duo to leave crisis-hit Rangers

The administrators have had talks with manager Ally McCoist about the potential impact of the crisis on the playing staff and said that Chief Operating Officer Ali Russell had also agreed to leave the club.

"It is clearly understood by all, including the players, that the football department costs will come under review as is the case with all departments within the business," said Paul Clark of administrators Duff and Phelps.

"No decisions regarding staffing in any department have been taken at this point and will not be taken until next week," he added.

"I wasn't in control of any of these activities despite constantly making it clear to Craig Whyte that this was to be my remit," he said in a statement released by Duff and Phelps.

"I outlined my medium to long term strategies for the club on numerous occasions to no avail. There's no point in being a Director of Football unless you can control these areas, so, in that respect I'm totally comfortable with being made redundant at this time," he added.
