We didnâ??t snub Ally

[Steve1872 4]

DUNDEE chief executive Scott Gardiner has revealed Ally McCoist made a passionate address before Rangers were condemned to the Third Division.

 

Gardiner wonâ??t be surprised if the SFA try to prevent the Ibrox club starting from the bottom.

 

The man who once worked for Rangers insisted that there is still no guarantee the new season will start on time.

 

He said: â??You canâ??t discount anything but the SPL voted and the SFL voted.

 

â??Unless the SFA step in and do something different, Rangers will be in the Third.

 

â??Ally made a passionate speech but we didnâ??t reject him.

 

â??He was arguing for their entry into the Third Division.

 

â??I worked at Rangers for a number of years and itâ??s a big shock for everyone. But we are where we are.

 

â??Iâ??m planning for the league to start on time. Will it? Who knows.

 

â??I think one thing on a Monday, another thing on Wednesday and another on a Saturday.â?

 

Gardiner revealed passions were running high at the three-hour meeting at Hampden.

 

In the end, 25 out of 30 SFL clubs voted against the resolution that would place Gers in the First Division.

 

If projections are correct, that will lead to a catastrophic £16m black hole in Scottish football finances.

 

But Gardiner insists there is no way of knowing whether this doomsday scenario will happen.

 

He said: â??Will this lead to meltdown? It depends if the predictions are correct. Time will tell if thatâ??s right.

 

â??Iâ??m not being vague, I just donâ??t think that anyone knows.

 

â??It was a full and frank meeting. There was a lot of detail and a lot of clarity.

 

â??Now we move on to the next stage and nobody knows what this is.

 

â??The meeting ebbed and flowed.

 

â??Sometimes it seemed like people would go for the First Division â?? at other times it seemed they wouldnâ??t. After the secret ballot it became clear that they wouldnâ??t.â?

 

Gardinerâ??s club is set to move up to the SPL after Gers were admitted to the ranks of the lower-league clubs.

 

And the Dundee supremo called on SPL chief Neil Doncaster to make a clear decision at the SPL meeting on Monday.

 

He said: â??There has to be a reaction. We move on to Monday and weâ??re hoping there is a quick resolution.

 

â??We are in a different position entirely. We are the candidate club for the SPL place.

 

â??I hope there is a quick answer â?? for the good of the game.â?

I wonder if super and Mr green were in agreement about our preffered destination.
