Rangers boss Warburton hits out as Fulham link persists

Rangers manager Mark Warburton has rejected fresh claims linking him with Fulham and insisted he is "going nowhere".

Warburton has fielded questions on the Craven Cottage link in recent days but new reports emerged on Wednesday evening which claimed Rangers were aware of interest from Fulham.

The Ibrox club were reported to be poised to offer Warburton more money for himself and for transfer activity in January amid concerns he could be tempted back to London.

But the former Brentford boss quickly took to social media to reassure Rangers fans.

Warburton wrote in a series of posts on Twitter: "Both bemused and frustrated by shockingly incorrect stories from certain media outlets. I am going nowhere and no club has approached me.

"Such stories are incorrect and disrespectful to me, to Rangers and to the supposed interested party which in this case is Fulham. Appalling.

"Why are such stories are released without any sensible investigation? Rangers fans, Rangers as a club and indeed Fulham deserve better."

Fulham sacked Kit Symons last month and are searching for their fifth manager in little over two years.

Former Celtic midfielder Peter Grant is in caretaker charge of the west London club, who sit 13th in the Sky Bet Championship.
