SFA exclude Ogilvie from Rangers enquiry
Ogilvie joined Rangers as club secretary in 1978 before becoming a club director until quitting Ibrox in 2005.
Rangers’ on going tax issue regarding EBT’s has raised speculation that the club issued players with two contracts which is against the rules of the SFA, UEFA and FIFA.
On Friday former Rangers director Hugh Adam, who was a board member at the same time as Ogilvie, claimed that side contracts were routine through the 1990’s forcing the SFA into action.
“Campbell won’t play any part in any meeting, discussion or conclusion on any activities surrounding Rangers,” SFA chief Stewart Regan claimed. “I think it’s pretty obvious that he’s heavily conflicted.
“We’ve been aware of the issue for a while. We’ve been aware that people have views and believe that pieces of evidence exist. What we’re trying to do at the moment is get hold of as much information as we can.
“The board will meet to discuss it within a week or maybe slightly longer. Very, very quickly the board will get together to consider the facts. This will be the Scottish FA’s main board. There are seven people on the board, but if you exclude Campbell it’s six. He’s not going to be able to take part.”
Responding to the allegations from Adam, Regan added: “It is one director’s take on things but as a board we have to examine it.
“If you look at our articles of association it shows a range of powers that the judicial panel has. What will happen is that the matter will go to the Scottish FA main board and will then pass through to the judicial panel.
“There’s a whole range of things from suspension and termination of membership at the extreme end to fines and ejection from Scottish Cup competition or other such penalties the panel deem appropriate.”
