Rangers fight to enter SPL as Smith bid is launched

A £6 million offer to buy Rangers will be formally submitted today as the club's newco fights to gain entry to the Scottish Premier League.

Entrepreneur Jim McColl will place the bid with London investment bank Zeus Capital on behalf of a consortium fronted by former manager Walter Smith.

The Charles Green consortium, which took control just four days ago, is not expected to accept the offer.
