NEW Rangers signings Josh Windass and Matt Crooks have been refused permission to train with the Ibrox club by Accrington Stanley.

Stanley's owner Andy Holt says the clubs have failed to reach a suitable financial package for the duo who signed pre-contract agreements with Mark Warburton's side in January.

Holt has urged the duo not to train with Rangers until the dispute has been resolved.

He told STV: "Until the compensation package has been agreed they are our players.

"We've written to Rangers informing them of our position and have copied in the FA and the Scottish FA.

"Until the compensation package has been agreed they are our players, so they shouldn't be allowed to train with Rangers."

Despite the claims from Holt, the Ibrox club have moved to quell fears about the potential arrival of the pair.

An Ibrox spokesperson told STV: "Rangers has always been willing to pay a compensation fee as determined by FIFA regulations.

"However, in order to confirm a figure' Rangers needs Accrington Stanley to co-operate fully by providing some necessary detail.

"So far they have failed to provide this."
