Apparently the document was sent to clubs only,with a rider that it was legally sensitive, and should not be shared.

Yet, within two shakes of a lapdog's tail,  the SPFL has it.

Reminds me of my last full-time job if you needed something spread all that had to be done was pass the info to one particular worker not to say anything and within minutes everybody knew.?

Rangers won't win anything at next week's meeting and they must know that. So presumably this is just a step along the way to a legal showdown

Key points according to The Sun 

 

  • Gers accuse chief executive Neil Doncaster of holding back key information from clubs and being ‘the guiding hand’ who determined the league’s actions.
  • They claim the SPFL could be liable for up to £10million in refunds to broadcasters by ending the season prematurely.
  • Gers say Doncaster suggested the SPFL handed over a sponsorship deal to Sky Sports which was significantly below the league’s market value.
  • They question why SPFL lawyer Rod McKenzie issued four ‘cease and desist’ requests to Ibrox chairman Douglas Park - insisting he blocked their bid for a new resolution.
  • They query a letter sent to UEFA outlining how Scotland’s clubs wanted the season over before any vote had taken place.
  • And they insist there are still unanswered questions on why Dundee performed a voting U-turn.

Wonder how The Sun could pull these very serious points  out of our dossier in little over 2hrs when SPFL dismissed it completely in 1hr.

 

Maybe worth SPFL going back and actually reading the dossier?

Level 1:
Rangers legal opinion: Neil Doncaster breached his duties in law as a director of the SPFL. Opinion also states Rangers have a reasonable good prospect of obtaining from court an order for the removal of Neil Doncaster as director and chief executive of SPFL.

It looks like this has been a long time in the preparation.

Maybe I am being an optimist but this now has the makings of blowing Scottish football wide open.... and that will be something that Doncaster, McKenzie, Shifty, Lawwell & Celtic will be very, very keen to prevent from happening.

Hmmm. That sounds like 60/40 at best.

 

I prefer m’learned friends to tell me the Court will almost certainly make an order.
