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.

Would have been funny if Cate had flung her knickers on the stage when Tom Jones was on. It’s a tradition!
Tom Jones singing Delilah in Alex Harvey style.
Prince Philip deliberately induced a bladder infection so that he could miss this rubbish and there are people on here choosing to watch this Royalist mince :-)

It is royalist mince, but we’re paying for it, so may as well enjoy the good bits.
Turned over to the beeb there myself, and know what I feel a wee bit better, knowing the the thousands of half wits in the audience make me look sane.
BTW the Thai Tims would have lit the place up.
No to Newclub

“to have a free thinking and enjoyable evening.”
“its just a concert…lighten up!! ”
You both must have missed the :-) symbol at the end of my post. I remain supremely chilled and I’m watching Ireland in a friendly online
A big thanks to my dear old republican ma.
She refused to let my wee sister leave school to see the Queen
when she visited town.
They made my sister sit in the school by herself.
Not remotely interested in watching royalist junk. Off with their heads.:-)
Shrek Forever After is much better and is on now.
