Rangers manager Ally McCoist has claimed that he has no problem with club owner Craig Whyte.

The former striker was reported to have stormed out of a meeting with Whyte on transfer deadline day as they sold top scorer Nikica Jelavic. However, McCoist has calmed rumours of a rift.

"He wants success for this football club just as much as I do but we've both got different ways and beliefs in how we get there," he said. "He has to run the business. He runs the club and the club has to be successful.

"My job is to make the club successful by putting a winning team on the park so we both have the same aims and beliefs and desires, we've just got different jobs to do and different ideas how we get there.

"I've got a fantastic, healthy relationship with Craig and have done since he came to the club. Like all healthy, working relationships, we don't agree on everything. I believe if we did it would be unhealthy, but we never fall out and we don't have a problem."
