Rangers content after SPL talks

Rangers chief executive Bain met with SPL chairman Lex Gold

Rangers have described talks with the Scottish Premier League as "frank and constructive" as last season's problems with fixture congestion were discussed.

"The purpose of the meeting was to 'clear the air' and this was achieved," read a statement on the club website.

Rangers were angry at the pile-up of matches in May as they narrowly missed out in the title race to rivals Celtic.

The Ibrox club are also unhappy that three of their four opening games next season are away from home.

Rangers chairman Sir David Murray and chief executive Martin Bain met with SPL chairman Lex Gold.

"Going forward, this exchange of views has now provided a platform for the future," added the Rangers statement.

"This will ensure an avoidance of the difficulties encountered last season."
