McCoist to meet over transfer funds

Rangers manager Ally McCoist will hold talks with owner Craig Whyte in the next few days to determine whether he will be able to strengthen his squad in January.

McCoist has identified a couple of targets he is keen to bring to Ibrox next month, with attacking reinforcements top of the list as he bids to steer the Scottish champions' Clydesdale Bank Premier League title charge back on track.

With his side trailing rivals Celtic by two points, the Light Blues boss is keen to establish if funds will be made available to him when the window re-opens, and said: "Our scouting department have been very busy and I'm in almost constant dialogue with the boys."
