Axed Rangers man Richard Foster takes parting swipe at former club
RICHARD FOSTER has let rip at Rangers chairman Dave King and claimed he is still waiting for the Ibrox club to tell him he has been released.

Foster has signed a two-year deal at Ross County and hit out at his former employers and their fans for the way he was treated.
King criticised the displays of the club’s out-of-contract players after taking over.
And Foster said: “I’ve still to get a phone call, a letter or any correspondence from the club.
“And I think all the players who left are in the same boat.
“I don’t think that’s the way to do business.
“Also, there’s the chairman having a go at the players who left, although he’s probably only seen us play a couple of times.
“I’d make no comment on him as a businessman because I don’t know him. It’s a shame he felt he had to comment.”
Foster was targeted by frustrated Gers fans as his second spell at the club turned sour – something he found hard to take.

He said: “It’s never nice to hear criticism when you’re out, especially when you’re with your family.
“At 3pm on Saturday it’s fine – that’s your job outwith your family.”
The 29-year-old reckons he’ll be able to leave his troubles behind in Dingwall. He added: “Hopefully that doesn’t happen up here. If it does, I’ll try to deal with it better than I have.”
Meanwhile, Staggies boss Jim McIntyre has also signed centre-halves Christopher Robertson and Andrew Davies.
The duo have penned two-year deals, with freed Bradford defender Davies, 30, made club captain.
Ex-Port Vale stalwart Robertson, 29, from Dundee, has also played for Torquay and Preston North End.
