Bury have released a statement insisting that Rangers will not be successful in buying out the club in order to clinch a spot in the Football League.
The League One outfit have reassured supporters that any investment put into the club will be used to help the club move forward following reports that new Gers owner Charles Green is considering buying out Bury and taking their spot in the English league.
A statement from the club's board of directors said: "Whilst investment into Bury Football Club is always welcome, any offer of investment will only be viewed at taking the club forward in its only one guise possible -based in the town of Bury, and as Bury Football Club.
"Bury FC is a proud historical club, and as such proudly represents the town, community, people, and above all supporters of Bury. The directors of Bury FC place the integrity and morality of the club, and football as a whole, way above and beyond any possible financial gain, and as such wish to reassure all Shakers fans of this fact."
Meanwhile, Rangers will discover whether they will be permitted to stay in the Scottish Premier League following a vote early next month.
