Charles Green last night renewed his verbal attack on the Scottish Premier League by accusing them of wrongly making Rangers apply for membership of the top flight.
The chief executive has interpreted comments in a report from Lord Nimmo Smith, who is chairing the SPL-appointed commission probing alleged undisclosed payments to Rangers players, as proof that his company need not have applied for membership of the SPL or the Scottish Football Association.
Sevco Scotland, as they were then known, were denied entry to the SPL following a vote of member clubs after buying the assets and business of the soon-to-be-liquidated Rangers.
Mr Green said: "Lord Nimmo Smith has said that Rangers FC is a recognisable entity which continued in existence notwithstanding the change in ownership. The commission has in effect ruled that Rangers and its history did not die on 14 June despite numerous reports to the contrary."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
