Rangers' former chief executive could be called to give evidence in a Scottish court as a former commercial director at the club seeks a £500,000 payout from the Ibrox outfit.
Imran Ahmad, whose employment with the club was terminated last year, maintains that he is due the bonus money in an action being contested by Rangers.
His counsel, Kenny McBrearty QC, told a judge that Charles Green was on his list of witnesses ahead of a hearing in the case.
Mr McBrearty said that, while Mr Ahmad's solicitors have spoken to Mr Green, they would want a meeting with him to clarify his witness statement.
The Yorkshireman took up the position at Ibrox after leading a consortium to buy the assets of the stricken Rangers Football Club plc, but he left the role last year.
Mr Ahmad maintains that under the terms of a contract provision, he would be entitled to 5% of commercial contracts negotiated by him - subject to written approval from the CEO or chairman.
He said that a letter from the then CEO Mr Green confirmed a bonus of "no less than 500K", under the authority of the board.
But Alan Summers QC, for Rangers said it could not have been known to Mr Green at that point what the value of the contracts would have been.
