Rangers currently have a first team squad of 32, and an Under 19 squad of 35, which is far more than they need to fulfil their fixtures.

The administrator will be looking to cut the wage bill immediately, which could result in quite a few of these players being made redundant this month.

Would ICT be in the market to pick up any cast offs? I'm sure Terry will be interested in developments, but the problem is our squad is full and there's unlikely to be any surplus money in the budget for the remainder of the season. It would be nice to think though that if a suitable player came on the market looking for a reasonable wage for a short term contract, we could accommodate 1 more first team player.

The U19s could present an opportunity for the longer term. The administrator might take the view that whilst they are on relatively low wages, there's a lot of them and they don't really bring in any income. Building for the future goes out of the window in administration, it's all about balancing the books so I won't be surprised if the axe is wielded there. It is potentially in our favour that Terry is well connected to get the lowdown on these youngsters.

Agreed, but there really should be no need to get rid of any of these staff. If the club is to continue as a going concern, these staff are essential to the efficient running of the stadium, Some of the top players will be paid as much in a year as all of the cleaners, groundstaff, secretaries etc put together so taking them out of the wage bill has far, far more impact. Get rid of the high paid players first of all: these others should go only if the position is such that that it's either them or there are not enough players to put a team on the park.

Who would have thunk it?
