Former Rangers boss Ally McCoist has revealed the Ibrox board wouldn't stump up the cash for Jamie Vardy and Mile Jedinak before their Premier League success.
McCoist stepped up into the Rangers hot eat from his role as Walter Smith's assistant back in 2011 and was quickly facing the financial problems at Ibrox before the club was forced to start again in the bottom tier of Scottish football. McCoist's first title tilt was effectively ended when the club fell into administration and were hit with a 10-point deduction, leading to Celtic cruising to a title victory.
Before the implosion and attempting to lead the club back to the top flight of Scottish football, McCoist had attempted to add Australian international Jedinak and striker Vardy while he was still on the books at Fleetwood Town to boost their push for silverware. At the time, Jedinak was weighing up his options as he looked to leave Turkish side Genclerbirligi, and McCoist revealed on talkSPORT he held talks with the player who eventually opted for Crystal Palace.
