Meanwhile, John Bennett has admitted that Rangers' loss of £10.5m last year needs fixing.

The club's chairman is determined that Rangers will break even before player trading is brought into account.

Speaking to shareholders at the club's AGM, Bennett reassured supporters that Rangers would never return to the dark days of administration in 2012.

He insists the key to ensuring that is to reduce to a hefty loss of £10.5m to zero.

Bennet has urged fans to keep an eye on the club's losses and how they will eventually become wiped out over the coming years.

"This club lost £10.5m last year pre-player trading, that's a number that needs to go away and you should keep an eye on that number," the chairman said. "That £10.5m needs to become zero."
