STEWART ROBERTSON insists Rangers have moved on from the days of ‘just splashing money around’ in their transfer dealings.

Ibrox boss Mark Warburton has added three players to his squad so far this month as Maciej Gostomski and Harry Forrester penned short-term contract and Billy King completed a loan move from Hearts.

Deals for Accrington Stanley pair Matt Crooks and Josh Windass have also been agreed and Managing Director Robertson knows the Light Blues have to shop smart in a competitive marketplace.

He said: “We need to make sure, after where Rangers have been and where Rangers are trying to get to, that the resources we have are invested very wisely.

“The days of just splashing money around in the transfer market are gone.

“Anything we do will be very carefully considered and create value. It is all down to that.

“I may sound like a bit of a broken record but we have to create assets for the club and that is going to be a key part of the business going forward.”

It is Warburton who is at the heart of the Ibrox rebuilding job as the 53-year-old looks to lead Rangers back to the top of Scottish football.

He has been linked with a series of other jobs already this season, most seriously with a move to Fulham, but Robertson insists the Englishman is fully committed to the Gers cause.

“We didn’t receive an approach so, given that we didn’t receive an approach then there was nothing to consider from our perspective,” he told Sky Sports.

“There are always going to be rumours and speculation, it is the nature of being the Rangers manager, the Celtic manager, or any big club’s manager. There is always going to be speculation.

“We didn’t receive an approach so it wasn’t something that we had to consider.

“There is regular dialogue between us. Mark and I, and Andrew Dickson, speak daily about what he needs, what is happening.

“Mark presents to the full board on a regular basis as well so there is a very strong relationship there.”
