RANGERS DUO STEVEN NAISMITH and Steven Whittaker are in dispute with the beleaguered Scottish outfit, insisting they are now free agents after the formation of a new club.
The Glasgow side claimed that, following liquidation, the transfer of all players contracts had taken place.
They warned that any players contesting the move would face legal action, something that came in the wake of reported concerns from Rhys McCabe and Sone Aluko.
However, now lawyers acting for Naismith and Whittaker – arguably Rangers’ two most pivotal players – say that the duo are seeking new employers.
A statement from Simon Catto of HBJ Gateley said: “Steven Naismith and Steven Whittaker are formally intimating their objection to becoming employed by the transferee in accordance with Regulations 4(7) and 4(9) of the TUPE Regulations.“Accordingly, Steven Naismith and Steven Whittaker will not be attending for training or any other meeting next week and consider themselves to be under no contractual obligations to any party.
“They consider they are not employed by any party and are free to consider any employment options they wish.”
Congratulations to Kerry….If only Fungie was around to see it…
Congratulations from a Dub. Can’t wait to see Dublin and Kerry go at it again in the Champo. Hopefully it happens and happens in the final.
@Thomas Quinn: agreed. Always happy to see Kerry won silverware so long as it’s not at Dublin’s expense
@my name: how is Kerry winning the league not at Dublin’s (and every other team in the divisions) expense. Did Dublin win the league too? Congrats :-D
@Thomas Quinn: Competition is a joke. Meaningless.

@Alan Carthy: Some going by Limerick to win the division with a zero score difference

Bit of a damp squib with Donegal leaving their key players at home ahead of next weeks championship outing against Tyrone.
@Justin Gillespie: well that it may have been but the correct decision obviously with the big game next weekend & safe from relegation. Imagine fielding a strong team & lad’s getting injured for nothing really, the manager would have finger’s pointed for sure so sound decision
@Noel Doherty: do people not want to win the league? Why bother play it so and just set a longer period for club players
@Justin Gillespie: Joke to be fair
