Administrators for Gretna have laid off their remaining 40 staff although they say they are still negotiating with an interested buyer.

The staff members, including players, were told of the development at a meeting in a hotel in the town.

"Because there are no funds at the moment to carry on everybody has been made redundant," said director of football Mick Wadsworth.

"We assume, for most of us, it's the end of the line at Gretna."
