The latest on Rangers’ situation amid takeover by Leeds United chairman Paraag Marathe and 49 Enterprises.
It may be the international break but takeover speculation surrounding Barry Ferguson’s side is just as widespread.
Rangers enjoyed an Old Firm derby win at Celtic Park before the two-week break and the 49 Enterprises’ takeover bid is still on course to be completed by the end of May.

Legal documents have been submitted, according to reports, and that has allowed Paraag Marathe and his group to plan ahead for the summer transfer window.
That’s just one area to focus on - with the Ibrox club already going through a full ‘root and branch’ review of their operations.
Finance expert has say on Rangers’ takeover bid and transfer plans
Speaking to FootballInsider247, Stefan Borson highlighted that the 49ers are planning to get the deal done before the end of the season to allow them to be invovled in the summer window.
He said: “There is a timetable that they’re going through with the due diligence process. Clearly, what they’re trying to do is get the whole thing wrapped up close to the end of the season and bed it in over the summer such that the new owners can be in place to do some transfer business.”

Vaclav Cerny gives green light for Ibrox stay while away with Czechs
Rangers favourite Cerny could be the first key transfer movement for the Glasgow giants - with the attacker stating he would be very happy to stay put in Scotland.
Asked about staying longer than his season-long loan, Cerny said: "I definitely do. But there are so many aspects that I can't control. All I can do is be the best I can and keep up my form and numbers."
Fans bid over £20k for Cerny’s ‘water squirting’ shirt from Old Firm
Cerny’s match-worn top from the recent Old Firm is sought after by Rangers’ fans - and it is fetching over £20,000 via MatchWornShirt.
At the time of writing, the leading offer currently stands at a staggering £24,000, with a section on the website outlining the noble cause behind the winning bid.
The Czech star became the focus of the post-match conversations after he was captured celebrating by squirting water on Celtic supporters.
And incident was then subject of a Police Scotland probe.
