Charles Green: There is an 'agenda' against Rangers in Scottish football


Recommended Posts

Charles Green has accused Scottish football's authorities of pursuing an agenda against Rangers.

 

The chief executive, addressing fans queuing to buy their season tickets on Tuesday, said he intended to continue to defend his club, even if it meant incurring the wrath of the Scottish FA.

 

Green is already facing a charge for claiming the decision to place Rangers in the Third Division was partly driven by â??bigotryâ? but says he won't stop speaking his mind.

 

â??We're not having, excuse my French, people taking the pee out of us anymore,â? said Green. â??It's finished.

 

â??I will give you an example. This morning, I had a phone call from the SPL telling us we can't put our old games on the website because we don't own the archive rights.

 

â??'And by the way, Charles, don't get angry. You shouldn't think we are being vindictive, it's just what the agreement says".

 

â??Tell me how I took that? I was walking on the ceiling. I think there is an agenda.

 

â??There's still battles to be won. I shan't let you down. I said to someone earlier that when everyone was against us, we stayed. People are now warming to us and we are staying.

 

â??But if we leave fans to one side for a moment, while ever that lot are against us, I'm not leaving. There's no-one spoke for this club for three or four years. It's not had anyone standing up.

 

â??I am going to get fined every week, I suspect, or I will get banned.â?

 

Rangers were issued a Notice of Complaint by the Scottish FA late last week regarding Green's comments, having been accused of bringing the game into disrepute for his remarks.

 

He said before his side's Challenge Cup tie with Brechin City: "Some of it has been driven by bigotry, some of its been driven by jealousy and some of its been driven by all the wrong motives."

 

The Scottish Premier League was unavailable for comment at the time of publication over Green's claims regarding archive footage.

Something I liked about CG since day 1 and he's proving me right now. Other than that occasion when media tried to frame him for sacking McCoist a while back Ive been fully behind him.

 

LIkes of Naismith and Whittaker look total pratts now.

As much as I welcome a robust defence of our club during this period of "Let's find another stick to beat Rangers" I genuinely hope C Green keeps things balanced and professional. I just fear that he may pander to the lowest common demoninator among our fans to gain support and from what I've seen on Rangers Media this morning, that may be the case. I've already seen an article stating that C Green was telling fans that new away strip was going to be "orange" in terms of theme/colour. Not sure how true this is but the positive replies are more telling IMO.
