PEDRO CAIXINHA insists he has yet to finalise his pre-season plans amid speculation of disharmony amongst his Rangers squad.

The Portuguese has previously stated that his players would receive just ten days holiday this summer as he gears up for the Gers’ return to the Europa League qualifiers.

Rangers round off their Premiership schedule away to St Johnstone on Sunday, May 21 and are then due to be in continental competition just four weeks later.

Some members of the Light Blues pool are reportedly unhappy at the summer training schedule but Caixinha has played down fears of discord at Auchenhowie.

He said: “Normally I don’t comment on stories because I don’t read stories.

“I have three books on my bedside table which I like – so I choose the stories I want to read.

“If those things are coming from inside it is something I need to find out about and when I find out I will act.

“You can write what you want but if the respect passes then you’re not counting on me for anything.

“I have already spoken about how much holiday time the players will have.

“Our first competitive game is going to be June 29, we normally need five or six weeks pre-season and the season finishes on May 21 so it’s a question of maths.

“The players don’t need to complain because the plan has not been presented to them yet.

“If someone is doing my work I would appreciate they come and tell me how it’s going to be.

“At the moment, it’s unofficial and when it is official and when I want you to know it, you will know it from me.

“I am the manager and I am the one that plans the pre-season and the vacation.

“If I try to live my life by the stories in the newspapers – which I don’t read – then how am I going to live?”
