Ally McCoist added fresh intrigue to the reason for Nikica Jelavic's departure yesterday when he confirmed that the player had never asked to leave Rangers. Ali Russell, the chief operations officer at Ibrox, had claimed that Jelavic had personally told McCoist he wanted to go on the eve of the transfer window's closure. Jelavic was sold to Everton on Tuesday for £6m, and Rangers signed no-one to replace him.
