Rangers appeared to be on the verge of an agreement to avert major redundancies after staff at Ibrox were told that permanent jobs were safe on Friday night.

ESPNsoccernet understands that workers were told the news at a meeting at the stadium after a day of continued negotiations between players and administrators at the Murray Park training centre.

Guarantees over job security for the general workforce was one of the key stumbling blocks to a wage-reduction deal with players.

But it is understood that Scotland pair Steven Naismith and Steven Whittaker both signed an agreement to see their wages cut by 75 per cent on Thursday night after being satisfied by assurances that there would be no forced redundancies.

Expectations were growing that there would be a statement from administrators in the coming hours confirming that threat of redundancy had been lifted.
