McCoist Not A Shareholder Yet

Media reports of Ally McCoist investing in The Rangers appear to be premature Ally McCoist says he has not yet put money into Ranger but confirmed he is considering buying a stake. Reports at the weekend suggested the Rangers manager owned a share of about about 4.5% after buying into Charles Green's consortium. McCoist says the reports are premature but admits he is interested in becoming an investor. He said: "It's jumped the gun a little bit because, at this moment in time, there is nothing at all that's been finalised. I'd be loathe to say any more until if and when it happens. It's something I would absolutely be considering." Ahead of any personal investment, McCoist wants some investment to be made on personnel. He has been critical of the displays in the league games so far and wants to have as strong a squad as possible in place for the Third Division before a 12-month transfer embargo comes into effect on 1 September. McCoist has a number of trialists training at Murray Park and is determined to add quality signings to his pool before midnight on Friday. Speaking yesterday, McCoist said: "I've got a meeting again with Charles today. The situation has been made very clear that we need bodies and we need to bring a bit of quality into the team and into the squad. That's where we are. In the next three days, we will have to do that. In the last week or 10 days, we have lost Alejandro Bedoya, it looks like Maurice Edu is away, Kirk Broadfoot is away, Dorin Goian is away. We need to get bodies in and plenty of them as soon as possible. We've had four or five trialists in. One or two have impressed, which is great, but we haven't made a final decision on any of them yet".
