McLeish blast for Moore

Moore arrived at Rangers from Australia in 1993

Rangers manager Alex McLeish has hit out at Craig Moore, following the Ibrox skipper's negative comments.

Australian defender Moore has said he will quit Rangers if he is unimpressed by their summer signings.

"It doesn't help for the team captain to come out with this stuff when he is recovering from an operation," McLeish told the Daily Express.

"I would rather he focused his energy on returning 100% fit and ready to play at a very high standard for us."

28-year-old Moore is currently recovering from a knee operation in Australia and questioned the club's ambition during a recent television interview.

The centre half, who has a year to run on his contract, was repeating the fears he first expressed publicly in March.

McLeish is aiming to bring a number of new faces to Glasgow, following a disappointing season and has already secured the services of defenders Alain Boumsong and Marvin Andrews.
