McCoist claims union was wrong to put players in compromising situation

Ally McCoist believes the Professional Footballers' Association Scotland was wrong to put his players in a position where Rangers fans might turn against them.

The union raised an employment tribunal against the Ibrox club on behalf of 67 players, many of whom are still on the staff, and McCoist says this could have compromised them.

The action relates to a failure "to inform and consult" the players when their contracts were transferred last summer between Rangers Football Club plc and Sevco Scotland, which is now The Rangers Football Club Limited. The action was revealed in the share prospectus published last weekend, but within hours of the story breaking on Monday, Lee McCulloch, the Rangers captain, had firmly distanced himself from the claim.
