[gavin3084 0]

Ally McCoist has said Rangers have not made any bid for AZ midfielder Brett Holman, either as a permanent signing or on a loan deal. The club has been persistently linked with a move for the player in the last week.

 

Speaking after Rangers arrived in Australia for their pre-season tournament in Sydney, McCoist admitted he was a fan of the Socceroos star but insisted there was no deal being discussed.

 

ââ?¬Å?He's certainly a player I like and I know Walter [smith] likes him,ââ?¬Â he said.

 

"I saw him a couple of times at the World Cup and he's somebody who's impressed me and he took his goals well," said McCoist.

 

"I won't lie to you, he's a player who excites me," added McCoist. "But there's been no contact at all between the clubs with a view to getting him over."

 

Rangers hope to sign three new players

Wilson completes Liverpool switch

The denial from Rangers comes after Holman told AZ�s website he was unaware of any interest from the SPL champions.

 

ââ?¬Å?I hear from others that there are rumours about Glasgow Rangers, but I know nothing,ââ?¬Â Holman said. ââ?¬Å?I have been on holiday for two weeks and no one has spoken to me about that.ââ?¬Â

 

While Holman may not have been approached, Rangers are looking to recruit new players before the beginning of the season. Following the sale of Kevin Thomson and Danny Wilson, Rangers chief executive Martin Bain has reassured fans that moves are underway to sign replacements.

If the wages weren't too bad I think he'd be a good loan signing. We all know loan deals aren't really what we need, but I won't be quibbling about it if a couple of loan signings help us retain the title!!!

Thanks for that Ally. The last thing we want is the fans thinking we might be in talks with someone
