Rangers will soon find out how much, if anything, they are due Aberdeen as they await a date from the SPFL for a tribunal concerning Connor Barron's summer transfer.
The two Scottish Premiership clubs have been unable to agree on a compensation fee after Barron joined Rangers on a free transfer following his departure from Aberdeen in June.
As Barron came through the Pittodrie youth ranks, Aberdeen are entitled to compensation.
The box-to-box midfielder went on to make 76 first team appearances for the north-east outfit before refusing a contract extension and choosing Rangers as the next chapter of his career.

While a move outside Scottish football would have netted them £500,000, different rules apply domestically, leading to the intervention of the governing body in the hope that the pair can find a solution.
Barron has already made seven appearances for Rangers under manager Philippe Clement, proving to be an important addition, and was recently called up to Steve Clarke's Scotland squad for the first time last month.
