Green claims to have paid off Scottish football debts

Charles Green has claimed that Sevco have settled their debts to Scottish football clubs.

Over the weekend Hibs boss Pat Fenlon expressed his displeasure that he was unable to compete for the signings of Dean Shields or Fran Sandaza while Third Division Sevco were in a position to offer three and four year contracts.

Supporters of other SPL sides have also been unhappy with Hearts fans seeing Ian Black quit Tynecastle for Ibrox with the club still to receive the full fee for Lee Wallace.

Green has heard all the complaints and turned to the Daily Record to explain the position’

He said: “There are fans out there who think we are signing new players and haven’t paid our debts. This couldn’t be further from the truth.

“They are not even my debts but I’ve paid them anyway as we want to put this behind us and rise again.

“I want you to make the point really clear. There were people on Jim Traynor’s show saying it is wrong for Rangers to sign these new players when they haven’t paid this and haven’t paid that but that is wrong. We have paid every club we owed money to in Scotland.

“We handed £500,00 to the SFA last Thursday to clear up all the fines and to pay what we owed the clubs.”

Green added: “I will be further supporting Alistair with more signings he wants, so there shouldn’t be a problem upsetting anyone now.

“We have other targets lined up. There will be more players coming into the club before deadline day but I can’t say who they are because I can’t pronounce their names.

“And there will be more players leaving the club.”

As well as debts to Scottish clubs Rangers failed CVA proposal listed money owed to Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, Rapid Vienna, Palermo, St Etienne and Orebro of Sweden.
