Rangers’ administrators are to meet with manager Ally McCoist and the Scottish champions’ players on Thursday before holding a news conference at Ibrox at 3:30pm local time (0230 AEDT Friday).
Administrators Duff and Phelps have said there will be “no immediate cuts in the playing staff” but there will be a review of the situation in due course.
Duff and Phelps took control of Rangers on Tuesday after British tax authorities went to court to seek the Glasgow club’s administration over an unpaid bill of STG9 million ($A13.28 million) built up since Craig Whyte took control at Ibrox in May.
Rangers are also awaiting the verdict of a tax tribunal which could leave them, according to Whyte, with a bill of up to STG75 million ($A110.67 million).
Rangers’ title hopes were all but ended after the Scottish Premier League docked them 10 points for entering administration, leaving McCoist’s men 14 points behind leaders and arch-rivals Celtic, although still in second place.
Wednesday saw Duff and Phelps insist Rangers would continue as a football club, with joint administrators Paul Clark and David Whitehouse saying in a statement: “We can report we have made very good progress within the first 24 hours of being appointed administrators over Rangers Football Club.
“In broad terms, supporters can be reassured that Rangers will continue as a football club and we hope to reach a stage as soon as possible where the club can emerge from administration.”
