Cousin deal still alive

Rangers are expected to learn at the start of next week whether FIFA will authorise Daniel Cousin's £3million transfer to Fulham.

FIFA have still to pass judgement on the case involving the 30-year-old Gabon striker. Cousin played 20 minutes of a French league match before joining Rangers from Lens in August, and FIFA rules stipulate players cannot appear for three different clubs in the same season.

A FIFA spokesman said on www.rangers.co.uk: "The outcome is still pending because the legal department have asked to see more documentation, especially from Fulham."

He added: "They need more time to analyse everything and I don't think we will announce a verdict before Monday now."
