McCoist reveals no West Ham bid for Rangers star Jelavic

Rangers manager Ally McCoist has made it clear that West Ham United have not made an official offer for striker Nikica Jelavic.

The Croatian international continues to be linked with a move away from Ibrox, with the Hammers now at the forefront, but McCoist says that the East Londoners have not yet made a bid although he did reveal talks between the two clubs have been held.

"We have absolutely not received any bids for Nikica or indeed any of our players at all. No offers have been put in from any clubs,” he told the club’s official website.

"That's where we are at the moment. (Hammers boss) Sam Allardyce and I have spoken on the phone and had a conversation which will remain private.

"Craig (Whyte) has also spoken to (Hammers co-owner) Mr Sullivan and they have had a discussion, too, which Craig has told me about.

"But there has certainly not been an offer from West Ham for Nikica and everything we are reading is purely speculation. The same applies to everyone else in the squad."
