For those avoiding events at Wimbledon, the fall out from Wednesday’s SPL newco vote continues with Ally McCoist saying “sporting integrity” would best be served by a newco Rangers starting again in the Third Division.

Kilmarnock chairman Michael Johnston has defended his decision to abstain from the vote following criticism from his own supporters.

The Rugby Park chief says signings have been put on hold but that’s not the case for Pat Fenlon who is lining up further additions to his squad.

While the Irishman looks to recruit players to Edinburgh, Craig Beattie is leaving the capital with Rangers named as possible suitors.

Elsewhere the influence Mario Balotelli extends to Asia, goal-line technology as well as our very own Grant Russell on TalkSport.
