--6--
late
owed
outstanding
leftover
Explanation
The correct answer is 'outstanding'. In this context, the coach is asking for the Bright Rangers to be paid their outstanding salaries. 'Outstanding' in this context means 'yet to be paid' or 'owing'. The other options do not fit into the context of the sentence. 'Left over' implies that there is some salary that has not been used or claimed, which is not the case here. 'Owed' could potentially work, but it is less formal and less precise than 'outstanding'. 'Late' implies that the salaries are delayed, which is not necessarily the case - they could be unpaid for other reasons.
