Stefanovitch 0 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) Rangers have signed former Hibernian and Kilmarnock midfielder Dean Shiels. The 27-year-old Northern Ireland international moves to Ibrox as a free agent following an excellent season at Rugby Park. He won the League Cup with the Ayrshire side and was nominated for Scotland's player of the year. Rangers, who are preparing for life in Division Three, will announce details of the contract at a 13:30 BST media conference. Shiels had rejected the offer of new terms at Killie, while he had been linked with a return to Hibs, where he played for nearly five years before switching to Doncaster in January 2009. Meanwhile, club owners Sevco Scotland Limited is changing its name to The Rangers Football Club Limited. An extraordinary general meeting of 'oldco' shareholders took place at Ibrox, where procedures were approved to enable the name change. Charles Green's Sevco consortium completed the purchase of the business and assets of Rangers in June after the club was consigned to liquidation following failure to secure a Company Voluntary Arrangement in order to exit administration. Rangers were granted conditional Scottish Football Association membership on Friday night, which will be completed when the formal transfer of 'oldco' Rangers' Scottish Premier League share to Dundee takes place later this week. "The process that took place today is the penultimate piece of the jigsaw that will see The Rangers Football Club move forward, with the transfer of SFA membership being the final piece," Green told the club website. Excellent piece of business!

Tumshie RFC 0 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 He would have been a good squad player even if we were in the SPL so good signing from McCoist. Will certainly give us a bit more creativity. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewarty 1,878 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Reading between the lines, we are offering Beattie some sort of structured deal to minimise our outlay in the event he gets injured. Sensible enough given his injury history but there is talk of Notts County having offered him more money. Saying that, the way he rips into the Tims on twitter, and goes "taps aff" when he scores; and as an ex player for Timmy, I think he'd become a fans favourite. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
