SFA let Green off on bigotry claim
The laughable verdict highlights the lip service that the SFA pay to campaigns such as ‘Show Racism the Red Card’ and other similar ventures that they are quick to publicise without actioning.
No detail was given on Green’s explanation for the comment when kick started a stampede of season ticket sales at Ibrox with Green already registering his disapproval of the outcome.
He told the Sevco website: “The decision of the judicial panel was disappointing as they accepted there was no intention on my part to bring the game into disrepute and this is reflected in the sanction imposed.
“I explained to the SFA previously and have said publicly what I meant by my remarks and it is time to move on.”
The SFA seem just as keen to turn a deaf ear to Green with no further hearings called despite the constant criticism of the SFA and SPL.
Green suggested that the SPL must have been drunk or incompetent over debts run up by Rangers with Stewart Regan happy to accept any criticism as long as it’s aimed at increasing ticket sales.
“Charles Green has his own reasons why he’s making the comments he is,” Regan explained. “But it’s clear Rangers have galvanised their fans behind the club and sold a huge amount of season tickets.
“They’ve used the situation to get the fans behind them but it’s important for Scottish football that we move on now and restore focus on the football itself and look forward to league reconstruction and helping produce good young talent.”
While Regan and Green are keen to move on a trail on small businesses go unpaid as well as HMRC and football clubs throughout Europe while Ally McCoist plunges into his new transfer warchest.
