Soccer:Kyle Bartley left Rangers' training ground this afternoon saying talks over the players' futures remained ongoing. The on-loan Arsenal defender does not expect a final decision to be made on potential redundancies today after further talks with the club's administrators.

Yesterday Duff and Phelps revealed in a statement that it had not been possible to reach a consensus where players could accept the necessary level of wage cuts to prevent job losses within the squad. The players asked the administrators to consider a final proposal overnight for discussion this morning.

Bartley said today: “Talks are still ongoing but I’ve just decided to go home and come back tomorrow and see what happens. No decisions have been made yet. We just have to wait and see.”

Asked if he was expecting a final decision today, the centre half said: “I don’t think so.” Bartley was then asked what the mood was like inside Murray Park and replied: “Not great.”
