MARK WARBURTON insists he won’t fall out with Alan Stubbs after Hibs sold Scott Allan to Celtic last night.

And he says he is on the brink of bringing in a more exciting player on loan next week to join Tottenham duo Nathan Oduwa and Dominic Ball who signed on Thursday.

Rangers had three bids for Allan turned down by Hibs, who then agreed a deal with Celtic and Allan made the move last night.

Warburton said: “It won’t affect my relationship with Alan Stubbs. Business is business. That’s the whole nature of it.

“We have to try and do the best for Rangers. Our only focus is to make sure we act in a respectful, professional manner. We will always do that.

“We have acted more than appropriately in everything we have done. We move forward from here.

“I only want players who want to be Rangers players - simple as that. It is a very simple situation for us.

“I’ve said it many times, I said it at my first press conference - we only want players who want to be at Rangers.

“If any player goes elsewhere, that’s fine. We wish any player well. But right now our only aim is to make sure we have players who want to be playing here at Ibrox.

“We are very happy with the two who have come in this week. We will have another very exciting player coming in on loan next week who we are looking forward to working with.

“Then from our point of view we will be almost there in terms of the squad.

“We are looking for certain types of players and for cover around the park - players who are flexible in their positions.

“We have got that in the two boys from Spurs. In Dominic we have a boy who can play right or left centre-back or at full-back. In Nathan, we have a player comfortable in any of the attacking midfield positions.

“I’m not sure if Hibs would never have let Scott Allan come here. The nature of this game is that things are said and things change. Things happen for various reasons. From our point of view, we just move on.”

Both Oduwa and Ball are in Warburton’s squad for Alloa tomorrow and Kenny Miller and Darren McGregor are free from suspension.

However, veteran midfielder John Eustace is still working on his fitness before Warburton will give him a deal.

He said: “He had a small setback, just because he had worked so hard to get up to speed with the rest of the group.

“It’s just a case of getting the pace and the balance right with John. He is a very talented player and you’ll have seen the comments from others in the squad about how they have taken to him, how they are tapping into his experience.

“We are delighted with John, even with the role he is playing now. He has got so much to offer. It will be him and the other loan signing we intend to complete.”
