The Rangers manager, speaking after his side's 4-1 win over Montrose, felt that it was "strange" for potential sanctions to have been discussed, supposedly as part of a proposed deal that would have allowed the Ibrox newco to start life in the Irn-Bru First Division. An outcome from HMRC's investigation into the club's use of EBTs is due imminently, while the independent commission, appointed by the SPL, into an alleged non-disclosure of payments to players is to begin on November 13.
