Rangers can still sign big names - Warburtonpublished at 15:53
Speaking after former Ibrox midfielder Joey Barton discussed his time in Glasgow on BBC 5live last night, Rangers manager Mark Warburton insists the club are "still capable" of signing big-name players.
"It's a big club," said Warburton. "It's not about Joey or myself. Rangers is a magnificent club, a fantastic football institution.
"There is no doubt there is huge selling points to Rangers.
"We're not going to outbid big clubs down south for players in terms of the financial aspect, but we can demonstrate what Rangers has to offer in terms of the training complex, an iconic stadium and a magnificent support with 50,000 fans, so there's a lot to enjoy about Rangers.
"Are we still capable of signing someone of Joey's calibre? Absolutely, no doubt."

End of twitter postJags must have belief against Celtic - Archibaldpublished at 15:22 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2016
Partick Thistle v Celtic (Fri)
Alasdair Lamont
BBC Sport ScotlandPartick Thistle manager Alan Archibald acknowledges Celtic have improved greatly this season but says his side must believe "they're not unbeatable".
"There's no doubt they've upped it a level," he told BBC Scotland. "Their performances in Europe as well have been good.
"But we've got to believe in ourselves. Motherwell gave us heart last week [in their narrow defeat by Celtic].
"It's not a template as such but I think it shows if you believe in your ability and you have a go, sometimes you get the rewards.
"You'll need a bit of luck, your goalkeeper to be on top form and everything to click into place. We know it's a tough order but we know we can do it."

BBC ScotlandIan Cathro insists there will no "drastic" changes to the way that Hearts play now that he has taken over as head coach.
The 30-year-old has taken the squad for three training sessions since his appointment was confirmed at the beginning of the week and he has tried to keep the same routines in place.
He will also not make radical alterations to the team's style of play, since Hearts are "in a good place".
"We've got to try to be as efficient as we possibly can," he said of the short time to prepare to face Rangers on Saturday.
"There's no point in making any real changes or anything massively drastic, that's not what the situation is in this case."
