Rangers have been accused of being immoral by the BBC following their pursuit of Scott Allan.
The Scottish Championship side face Hibernian tomorrow in the Petrofac training cup at Easter Road and many members of the Scottish media claimed Rangers were simply trying to unsettle Allan ahead of the fixture.
Rangers have had two bids rejected by Hibs, the first bid being around £175,000 and the second reportedly worth £225,000. Allan yesterday told Hibernian he wanted to move to his boyhood club however his current team remain determined to keep him in the Scottish capital.
The midfielder only has 12 months remaining on his contract and will be free to speak to other clubs in January, but manager Alan Stubbs has already stated he would rather lose Allan for free than sell him to their Championship rivals Rangers.
Warburton defends actions of club
Mark Warburton today remained coy when questioned by the media in regards to the situation. He said he would not speak about Allan as he is not his player.
The Rangers manager defended his club's approach saying that they always "look to do the best for Rangers Football Club."
Warburton said that "[his] job is in the football department" and that the tranfer negotiations are "handled by the powers that be."
The Englishman didn't give anything away when he claimed Allan isn't the only player Rangers are looking at. The new manager has already made seven first team signings since arriving at Ibrox and stated they are still in the market for one or two more players.
During his pre-match press conference Warburton told the media that he had shared a phone call with Hibs' manager and claimed it was a polite phone call in which Stubbs gave his view on the situation.
Rangers, however, are still expected to launch a third bid of around £400,000 before the end of this weekend.
