McCoist wary that his Rangers players could soon be out of work

Rangers manager Ally McCoist is well aware that his players could soon be out of a job but made sure it was not something he spoke about after yesterday's win.

'Gers finally had something to smile about when they beat Inverness Caledonian Thistle 4-1 but McCoist was careful not to mention anything to his players regarding their futures at the club as the reigning champions continue to deal with falling into administration.

"I didn't speak to them about it because effectively I don't know what's going to happen," he said.

"What I did say to them was I'll be completely honest and 100 per cent transparent with everything that I know. But there's no point in me having meetings with them when I haven't got anything to tell them.

"They know themselves that if I have anything to say to them via the administrator then I will do it. But it's the administrator who will tell me what's happening and I think it's quite important that you know that. I am part of the staff.

"The discussions we have had with Paul Clark from Duff and Phelps have been productive. I would imagine we'll be having more meetings in the next couple of days. But at this moment I don't know what the week ahead holds.

"There have been job losses already and we shouldn't forget that.

"Paul has certainly not told me that any more people will be going - I give you my word on that - but I'm certainly not daft enough not to realise there might have to be cuts here or there. But he will tell me what's happening."
