I’ve read yesterday’s statement from prospective Rangers owner, Charles Green, a few times now, without really understanding what the point was. When someone issues an unexpected statement the reason is usually obvious. Not on this occasion.
Published on the official Rangers web site it once and for all confirmed that Duff and Phelps were acting with the approval of Green when they took the SFA to the Court of Session, thereby bringing the entire Scottish game into a potential disrepute situation with Fifa.
Mr Green will now be fully aware of the ramifications of Rangers court action. They failed in their attempt to have the matter referred back for consideration to the Judicial Panel and, as Paul McConville pointed out yesterday, cannot be ejected from the Scottish Cup. They are not currently participating in the Scottish Cup, and suspension from a future season’s Cup is not an available punishment.
His legal advice is now likely to conclude that his actions will soon lead to suspension from the Scottish FA. There is, however, an interesting theme through Green’s short statement that might indicate why his statement was issued:
“I nor my investors wish to see an outcome that would be to the detriment of Scottish Football”.
“….suspension or termination of Rangers Football Club membership of the SFA. That in our view would be a disaster for Scottish football”.
“Expulsion from the Scottish Cup is itself a very serious punishment which would also have a severe impact on Scottish football”.
We are heartened to hear the interests of Scottish football are so core to Mr Green’s heart. This being the case, he will possibly protect Scottish football by asking the SFA to impose the now-illegal player registration ban on Rangers and beg them not to refer the matter back to the Appellate Panel. The horse has bolted on this one but it’s possibly worth a punt.

Basically, yes. The RFFF decision to go to the CoS is possibly one of the worst tactical decisions since Hitler said to his generals “Ach, we only need a wee bit of Russia, let’s go for it….”
It has potentially destroyed the last chance of salvation the Huns had: they could always rely on the craven help of the Scottish football authorities. Now, having involved FIFA, they are utterly screwed. All Neil Doncaster’s sterling work has been ruined in one fell swoop.
They are caught in a dreadful pincer – will the football authorities or the legal authorities get them first? It is virtually impossible to sketch a way out of either predicament now.
This explains Green’s panic – he is about to buy a heavily indebted busted flush. It’s a nightmare for him and a catastrophe for RFC.
The question is: conspiracy or cock-up? Were D&P really not aware of the consequences of taking the SFA to civil court? Or is this a convenient way to get someone else to fire the fatal head shot to RFC?

would love that to be true could be the step up for us…….heard lots of good things about him
Easy to be cynical about Macca, but the Beatles and the Lisbon Lions are essentially to two best groups to have emerged in Lizzie’s reign.
Let it Be… just a perfect song.
This Hoyt???

I was there, I’m pretty sure we were winning at halt time and then got humped in the second half.
Morning,chaps.
Seems I`m the only royalist in the village.
Or the others are keeping their heads down.
Would love Steve Clarke,,,think I said that in the 80’s when he was a player.
And Macca ruins it with a union jack guitar and a rendition of Ob-La-Di…
Maybe they did die in the wrong order after all…

Not at all! Id share a bed with Cheryll Cole and Madonna if they asked.
Was talkin about wee flat at weekend. Mrs Emus Cousin has contract for new student accommodation on George St at West of Scotland Uni. Each room has it’s own pod wi wc and shower! Itll never catch on eh?
So when it comes to the old hag. Public money spent is no object. Don’t worry they will just cut more from everyone else and people are celebrating her. Strange.
