RANGERS have today reacted to the SFA’s fast track tribunal decisions on manager Ally McCoist and Chief Executive Charles Green.

McCoist has been given a three-match touchline ban, suspended for one year, while Green has been censured for comments made made to the media.

Green commented: "The decision of the judicial panel was disappointing as they accepted there was no intention on my part to bring the game into disrepute and this is reflected in the sanction imposed.

“I explained to the SFA previously and have said publicly what I meant by my remarks and it is time to move on."

Ally McCoist said: "I can assure everyone that at no time did I intend to bring the game into disrepute when I made my feelings known about the decision by a judicial panel, set up under the auspices of the SFA, to impose a transfer embargo on Rangers.

“I felt the decision was wrong and my concern was that everyone must have full confidence in a system that has the capacity to impose such severe sanctions.

“I wanted full transparency on a decision which had far reaching implications for our club.

"At no time did I wish any individual subjected to intimidation as a result of my comments and I am relieved that this aspect of the complaint was dismissed by the judicial panel today."

so no actual punishments despite the fit up.

It was really nice of the SFA to take Ally & Green away from their jobs for over 6 hours the day before the transfer window closes.
