Rangers confirm interest in Queen of the South's Nicky Clark

Rangers manager Ally McCoist has confirmed his interest in Queen of the South striker Nicky Clark.

The Light Blues boss has already held talks with the player's representative and his father, former Gers player and current Palmerston assistant Sandy, about a switch to Ibrox next season.

McCoist now hopes to meet with the player, who has netted an impressive 37 goals for the Irn-Bru Second Division champions this season, in the coming days

I've spoken to Nicky's agent and I've spoken to his father, who I know reasonably well, just to let them know that we have an interest in talking to Nicky and meeting up with him and seeing if there is a possibility of him coming to the club.

"We are no further down the line than that, but I spoke to Sandy and I'm very keen to meet up, as are Sandy and Nicky, so hopefully we can get a meeting in the next couple of days.

"His goalscoring record is fantastic and we certainly need strengthened in forward areas, as we do all over the park.

– Ally McCoist, Rangers Manager

Police praise fans after Berwick match

Northumbria Police have praised fans who attended Berwick's home match against Glasgow Rangers.

More than 4,000 spectators packed into Shielfield Park yesterday afternoon to see the 1-1 draw. Three people were arrested for minor offences, but police have praised the behaviour of most fans.

Superintendent Derek Scott said:

"I would like to praise the majority of fans who were mainly good natured and only interested in the action on the pitch.

"Public safety is always out number one priority, and given the rural location and number attending the ground, we had a policing plan in place.

"We have received reports that some sectarian chanting did occur and these reports will be fully investigated and reported to the relevant Scottish authorities."
