McCoist: I'm dreadfully weary of the whole situation but I will continue to fight

ALLY McCOIST last night admitted he is "dreadfully weary" of the ongoing debate on Rangers' alleged improper use of employee benefit trusts, but hopes that the Scottish Football Association and Scottish Premier League will be called to explain reports that they wanted the Ibrox club stripped of nine trophies before any hearings into the matter had taken place.

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.
