Gers boss placing more important on quantity than quality
Ally McCoist believes reigning Scottish Premier League champions Rangers require numbers rather than marquee signings.
New Gers boss McCoist has inherited a paper-thin squad from Walter Smith, and the new season is fast approaching.
Bringing fresh faces on board is a priority at Ibrox, with it difficult to see how the club could handle competing on multiple fronts with their current first-team selection.
McCoist acknowledges that he must dip into the transfer market over the coming weeks, but admits he is working to a tight budget.
With that in mind, he believes quantity is more important than quality and has warned Gers supporters not to expect any big-money arrivals.
No panic
"We need to get bodies in rather than spend everything on one position again," said McCoist.
"That would be madness.
"We need too many players to do that again. Our four loan players - Vladimir Weiss, Kyle Bartley, El Hadji Diouf and Ricky Foster are all away and we had a small squad before that.
"We don't need to panic because we know what we need and we have targets. It depends on finance and what we can afford.
"The first thing we need to do is strengthen defensively, but the scouting boys here have been brilliant and built up a good portfolio of players."
