THE Union of Fans have hit out at the under-fire Rangers board for their handling of Ally McCoist's imminent Ibrox departure.

The Light Blues boss handed in his notice last week and will meet football board chairman Sandy Easdale and director Derek Llambias tomorrow as he edges nearer the exit door.

In a release to the Stock Exchange yesterday, the board revealed McCoist's wages will increase to £750,000 during his 12-month notice period.

UoF spokesman Chris Graham said: "In our opinion, the salary given to Ally by Charles Green was too high.

"It was agreed pre administration when Rangers were a Champions League team but it should have been amended to a more realistic level.

"This is in common with the inflated salaries that Mr Green gave to all senior staff members, including himself.

"Ally worked for nothing during administration to try and assist the club. He was alone in voluntarily reducing his salary last year when the true extent of the financial mismanagement by the board became apparent.

"We believe he did the right thing by reducing that salary by around 50%.

"In fact, his gesture should have meant that the lower paid employees at the club would be safe from the kind of cuts we have seen Derek Llambias implement in the past few weeks.

"We hope Ally will do the right thing and come to a solution that is beneficial to both him and club. By the club we mean the club and not this board or those who control them.

"We will not accept this board's toxic spin and ham-fisted attempts to blacken the name of a club legend. We hope Ally can go with our best wishes and will remain Super Ally long after the names of the people in this boardroom are mercifully forgotten."
