The 22 players over the age of 21 rule


Recommended Posts

A fee for Naismith is being decided by tribunal.

 

Yes and after the tribunal his registration will be officially transferred to Everton.

 

Does anyone know what's happening with the disputes regarding the other players like Lafferty, McGregor and Whittaker?

Rangers chief executive Charles Green says the Ibrox club have made an offer for Hearts winger David Templeton.

 

The Scottish transfer window will close on Friday night and the Third Division club face a 12-month transfer embargo from 1 September.

 

"We've made them an offer, it's a good offer, and I hope Hearts accept it," Green told BBC Radio Scotland.

 

Green also hinted he expected other players to arrive at Ibrox before the end of the transfer window.

 

"The manager's got a few players on his list," he said. "But obviously it's a matter now of, over the next 24 hours, turning some of these into signings, but I'm sure there'll be names to be announced."

 

But Green said the hunt for players had been held up as both he and manager Ally McCoist had faced Scottish Football Association disciplinary hearings on Thursday.

 

"Alistair and I have, unfortunately, spent six hours in Hampden for the wrong reasons, when what we ought to have been doing is speaking to agents and speaking to players."

 

Green also claimed the club were being hampered in making signings by players who rejected a move to the relaunched Rangers still being included in their squad list with the SFA.

 

A consortium led by Green reformed Rangers after the previous incarnation could not be saved from liquidation but a number of players refused to have their contracts transferred.

 

Rangers are seeking compensation for five of these players.

 

"Ahead of this transfer ban being put in place, we still have the ludicracy of not being able to sign the number of players we'd like to bring in, because the players who walked out on their contract are still included in our quota," added Green.

 

"We're only allowed 22 players over the age of 21, and five of those spaces are being filled by people like Steven Naismith who played for Everton against Manchester Utd last Monday.

 

"How crazy is that?"

McCoist is unsure exactly how many new players he will have before Friday's deadline but told BBC Scotland after Thursday's win against Falkirk he feels he needs "five or six".

 

Templeton scored a somewhat fortuitous goal in Hearts' draw with Liverpool , who won the Europa League play-off tie on aggregate

 

Bits in Bold are spot on again from CG.
