Confirmation of Ally McCoist's resignation arrived at the Stock Exchange this morning

The confusion surrounding the news of Ally McCoist's decision to leave Rangers has been cleared up, a little bit, this morning.

News came late last week that the Rangers boss, who has managed the side since 2011, had sent in a letter of resignation to the club but McCoist refused to comment on the reports over the weekend.

"His service contract dated 28 December 2010, which was subsequently amended, has a 12 month notice period ("Notice Period").

"The directors will hold discussions with Mr McCoist to seek an amicable solution in the best interests of the company, and expect to be in a position to make a further announcement before the end of the week."
