Ally McCoist is still waiting to hear back from Carlos Cuellar as Rangers' efforts to land the central defender drag on.[LNB] The reigning Scottish Premier League champions have spent much of the summer trying to put a deal in place for the Spaniard.[LNB]A price has been agreed with Aston Villa for the 29-year-old, who left Ibrox for Villa Park in 2008, but negotiations have stalled since then.[LNB]McCoist is hopeful an agreement will be reached, but admits he will be forced to turn his attention elsewhere if the matter is not resolved soon.[LNB]"There has been no news yet, unfortunately, from Carlos. He's not been in touch," the Gers boss told the Daily Record.[LNB]"We wanted an answer from Carlos today, definitely. He knows that, as does his agent and lawyer.[LNB]"They all know we are pressing for an answer as soon as possible.[LNB]"How would I assess our chances? I have no idea. There is only one man who can answer that and it's Carlos.[LNB]"I understand he's in Spain and I don't know if he's talking to other clubs there but I've never asked for any assurances."[LNB]McCoist is hoping to have Cuellar, and other potential new recruits, on board by the time the deadline for registering players for the UEFA Champions League passes on Thursday.[LNB]He said: "In an ideal world, I would love to have them all in by Thursday. That would be fantastic."
