The Govan side are also involved in a separate dispute with HMRC over a £2.8million tax bill, which first emerged in April. They are believed to be disputing a fine that goes with it.
Owner Craig Whyte - who completed his takeover in May – admitted last month his club are facing a “crisis situation” over the larger tax case.
He said then: “What we have to remember is that Rangers are in a crisis situation. It’s a hard thing to live with. I think we need to get finality on it.
