Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew insists he's not discussed Rangers with the club's owner, Mike Ashley.

Pardew faced questions about his owner's links with Glasgow Rangers yesterday.

Ashley told the world earlier this year that the club was not for sale. The owner has attended the majority of matches this season and been under the spotlight on several occasions when Pardew's future was in question.

When Pardew was asked about Rangers, he said simply: "I know nothing about it."
