Rapid fear fall-out from Jelavic debt

Peter Schottel, the Rapid Vienna manager, believes his own club will face financial difficulties when Rangers default on the £900,000 payment due to the Austrian club for the £4m transfer of Nikica Jelavic two years ago.

Jelavic was sold to Everton at a profit of over £1m in the last transfer window, but with liquidation looming, there appears no hope of Rapid receiving the money they are due next month.

The Austrian club will seek help in recovering the money from FIFA.
