D'Artagnan 173 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 RANGERS FC insists there are no grounds for Raith Rovers’ allegation that a rule breach may have been committed by the Club. Rangers also consider that Raith Rovers' spurious claim could have besmirched the honour of assistant manager David Weir by making specific reference to him. Neither Rangers nor David Weir acted wrongly in requesting the return from Under-19 Scotland duty of Ryan Hardie ahead of tomorrow’s Ladbrokes Championship match against Raith Rovers. This was done with the approval of the SFA, within the rules and in the full knowledge that Raith Rovers would be offered the same opportunity to bring Craig Wighton, their loan player from Dundee, home. They declined but then issued a statement alleging Rangers has somehow broken the rules. This action is baffling. Rangers, as many other clubs have done in the past, acted within the rules and the very thought that David Weir, who served his country with great distinction winning 69 caps, might have been trying to undermine an international side is preposterous. Rangers has also written directly to Raith Rovers Chief Executive Eric Drysdale seeking to understand his Club’s motive behind such vexatious action and an apology to David is the very least Raith Rovers should be offering. http://www.rangers.co.uk/news/headlines/item/10031-club-statement An outstanding response from Rangers which absolutely shames RR. Furthermore our written demand for an explanation demonstrates the days of free pops at Rangers are well and truly over. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinker 858 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I assume no apology was given then? Their team made an apology of an attempt to give us a game us on Saturday (albeit a poor one). Does that count? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
