However, with newly promoted Premiership clubs’ top-flight shelf life often a one season span, Hemdani is understood to be holding out for the security of a more mid-table Premiership option.

Transfers Summer 2008: Alan Gow Told To Find Another Club
After the desperation to sign Alan Gow, with three failed bids, back in January 2007 the player finally arrived at Ibrox a year ago and is now no longer wanted.
He, along with Hemdani and Buffel has been informed he can leave for free despite the player wanting to stay and fight for his place.
Comment:
This makes no sense to me what so ever and Walter Smith should be accountable to the fans over player transfers. It’s my opinion that the club manager should be making official statements when a player leaves the club stating why they are no longer part of his plans.
I would like to know his reasoning as to an outsider this makes no sense. Gow looked a decent player in the few appearances he made. So why is he surplus to requirements?
