There have reportedly been four bids submitted to take over Scottish Premier League side Rangers.

Interested parties had until 5pm this evening to lodge their offers to the club's administrators, Duff & Phelps.

One of those to have made their bid public is the Blue Knights consortium, led by former board member Paul Murray.

It is believed that the other three companies that have made an offer are from Singapore, Germany and the United States of America.

However, Sale Sharks owner Brian Kennedy has not firmed up his interest in the club.

Rangers have yet to pass comment on the situation.
