Gers assistant wants Hutton stay

Rangers assistant manager Ally McCoist has played down talk that Tottenham have made a new move for Alan Hutton. Reports have suggested that Tottenham are planning a new bid for the Scottish international before the close of the transfer window with the player having had a change of heart over the move. Spurs agreed a fee with Rangers earlier this month only for Hutton to reject the chance to move to White Hart Lane. McCoist is unaware that Hutton may be having a rethink over a move to North London and insists the situation has not changed. "All I can say is, to my knowledge, the bid was accepted and Alan expressed a desire to stay at the club," said McCoist. "From a footballing point of view, I'm absolutely delighted, I'm thrilled. "I'm not aware of any change of heart from Alan or anyone else."
