FIFA insist they are no nearer to resolving the situation involving Daniel Cousin's projected move from Rangers to Fulham.
Appearing for a third club would contravene FIFA regulations, however Rangers and Fulham are hoping world football's governing body will consider the merits of Cousin's case.
The 31-year-old only briefly appeared for French club Lens at the start of the campaign before joining Rangers, however the £3million move to Fulham remains on hold.
Rangers boss Walter Smith called at the weekend for FIFA to deliver a final ruling and end the suspense, but a decision may not arrive this week.
"The matter is still pending," said a FIFA spokesman. "There is no time frame yet."
