Alex Thompson of Channel 4 news video interview with Stewart Regan

Alex Thompson of Channel 4 has interviewed SFA Chief Executive Stewart Regan on what he claims ‘could be one of the biggest sporting scandals the UK has ever seen.’

The SFA have been caught in the storm surrounding Rangers with the position of President Campbell Ogilvie under scrutiny.

Ogilvie was a Rangers director while the club operated an Employee Benefit Trust scheme that could see the club hit with a bill for £49m.

Rangers are facing various charges from the SFA and SPL with Regan appearing very uncomfortable as he was grilled by Thompson.

At one stage Thompson told Regan: “You keep quoting the rule book back to me but that’s not what I’m asking.

“I’m asking did the SFA conduct any due diligence on this individual (Craig Whyte)?”

Regan replied that the SFA asked for a self declaration from the club which amazed Thompson who replied: “Forgive me that sounds absolutely incredible. This was the biggest club in Scotland, which had been brought to it’s knees by a whole range of fiscal mismanagement which is all on the record and proven.

“A new man comes in claiming all sort of things, just like the previous man and the SFA didn’t check or do any due diligence whatsoever?”

After another run through the rule book Thomson comes back at Regan asking: “This is extraordinary, a new man comes in to Rangers and you are telling me that no one from the SFA as much as went on to Google to check the background of the man?”
