Rangers addresses McKay concern

13 September 2012-PA Sport

Rangers has moved to clarify confusion surrounding youngster Barrie McKay's future at the club.

It was widely reported earlier this week that the 17-year-old had signed a new five-year deal with the Ibrox side, however Scottish Football Association rules states that the registration of a player under the age of 18 cannot exceed three years.

Rangers claim it was aware of the ruling and say McKay has "pledged" his future for five years.

A statement from the club read: "The club can confirm it has agreed a long-term contract with Barrie McKay.

"Reports in today's press suggested the SFA would reject McKay's five-year deal as rules prevent players under the age of 18 from signing a contract of that length.

"For the avoidance of doubt, the club is well aware of the rule and at no time confirmed Barrie had signed a five-year contract.

"Barrie has pledged his future to Rangers for the next five years – as stated on the Rangers website on Tuesday evening."
