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.

Elton John forgets to bring his teeth.
Paul67 et al
Wonder if Elton will do his big hit?
Candle in the Windae
Green’s involvement is conditional on RFC(ia) continuing in the SPL/SFA. His only way out is to mightily p1ss off the authorities SFA/SPL/FIFA so much that they deliver the coup de grace.
Incidentally, you can get the tin-tack for anything! You can appeal the decision and, if that’s unsuccessful, have it considered by an Employment Tribunal.
Journalists are as ignorant as the rest of us as to the full story re: AT. The difference is that this blog has been both restrained and responsible in its’ reporting. The MSM has behaved disgracefully.
Is there something wrong with that mic? It doesn’t sound like the normally excellent Elton. It’s as if he has a lisp.
When i was wee our record collection was so small
you got the Alexander brothers or you could leave.
Vic Reeves pub-singer thing’s getting a bit dated now.
Elton John goes to the same barber as Gordon Smith.

Elton’s a closet republican
He’s gonna unveil a new number tonight entitled “If yir uncle wiznae a Nazi you would not be queen”
Well the Ireland game was definitely a worthwhile exercise.
Hungary played the same style of football to what we can expect quite possibly in all 3 games – technically they were excellent at the same time as having a couple of Sebo strikers.
Have always found O’Shea to be a weak link when he plays for Ireland – tonight was the same again.
Baffling substitution which tells us how Trap is going to start the Euro’s was Hunt coming on for Duff – we have all seen what Hunt has to offer, and bar headless chicken run run and run again – its not all that.
James McLean is fresh – id have liked to see him start.
The boy we have been linked with Cox came on and showed us what he is – a physical striker in the mould of Daryl Murphy – albeit a slight improvement.
Set pieces wise Ireland look good and well organised defensively and are a threat going forward – I see set pieces being Irelands biggest weapon given the opposition.
Physically the players have done themselves a world of good to get back to match fitness – so all in all, most certainly a worthwhile exercise tonight.
ps. did anyone else spot the hungarian looking guy in the crowd 12 or so mins from the end with a Celtic tracksuit on.. was standing with Hungarians.
Another from the worldwide reach of the Celtic family!?
Another interesting story to tell which we will never hear..
