St Johnstone's Lomas implores Rangers to put up for Sandaza

St Johnstone boss Steve Lomas has urged Rangers to get serious about their pursuit of Francisco Sandaza.

The reigning Scottish champions are believed to be showing considerable interest in the Spanish striker but Lomas feels that they are doing too much talking and not enough acting if they are serious on signing the 27-year old.

"Ally McCoist wants him and I think he would go to Rangers. But at the end of the day it's a case of Rangers unsettling our player," Lomas said.

"They maybe see us as little St Johnstone and are trying to get him on the cheap and that is poor.

"I phoned Ally before the window and said 'if you're interested in Fran let's get it conducted right' - the way they operated under David Murray.

"I feel sorry for Ally as this is his first big job and to be fair he's having to deal with financial uncertainty.

"But if Fran gets an injury he isn't going to pass a medical and that pre-contract would be like toilet paper. You could flush it down the pan."
