BRISBANE ROAR have revealed Rangers tried to get them to take Matt McKay back Down Under.

The Aussie international has flopped at Ibrox following his £300,000 move last summer and hasn’t played since November.

And the cash-strapped Ibrox club were so keen to get the 29-year-old off their wage bill they contacted his former club to ask them to re-sign the midfielder.

But Brisbane boss Ange Postecoglou insists his contract would have to cancelled before they’d consider it. He said: “Rangers approached us about taking back McKay.

“But we are not interested in buying him or taking him on loan. If he becomes a free agent we’d have a look at him again.”
