Rangers boss Pedro Caixinha has said that he believes details of his work are being leaked by Ibrox insiders and has vowed to “seal” the club.

News has emerged of players being told that they have no future at Ibrox, including veteran defender Clint Hill being informed that his contract will not be renewed. Reports also emerged on Thursday of Rangers’ interest in Motherwell defender Ben Heneghan.

Caixinha is unhappy that his interactions with the squad are being made public and insisted an investigation was underway to find the sources and deal with it.

“The majority of the speculations are coming from inside and that’s my main concern,” he said. “If they are coming from inside then I can’t stay happy with that situation.

“We first have to identify it and then seal it. We are a big club and big clubs cannot have this sort of behaviour.

“We rule and manage from the inside out, not the other way. At least when I am here that is going to be the way we work.

“No leaks. No leaks.

“I don’t care [who is responsible]. I’ll just tell you that we are working on it, not myself but those responsible within the club, but it’s definitely one point that we need to understand.

“I don’t care if it’s destabilising or not. Not for myself, it’s something that I don’t like but I keep doing my job.”

The Portuguese reflected on his time working at home and said that successful clubs don’t suffer from leaks and that managing news from inside the club was something that he would have to do to improve his side.

“I found it when I was at Sporting Lisbon and things were coming out,” he explained. “Now Benfica are ruling in Portuguese football but at that time it was Porto. I can tell you, nothing is coming out from Benfica if they don’t want it to be known. That’s the reason they are being successful. The same with Porto in those times.

“I remember the Porto president used to say to players ‘If something is in a newspaper when I’m dealing with you, then I’m not going to do the deal’ and I found it a very good principle. I try to follow the press of the successful people and not the opposite. We need to be like that.”
