Rent-a-quote Charlie Green has promised Motherwell a warm welcome to Ibrox in next week’s League Cup tie.
Motherwell will become the first SPL club to visit the home of the Third Division play-off chasers following the events of the summer when an SPL lifeline to Sevco was thrown out.
Kilmarnock were the only SPL club not to vote against Sevco with the Fir Park club amongst those that voted no to newco.
Green has spent the last few weeks rabble rousing in a desperate bid to inject money into the club with his promises of billionaire backers and a cash rich club falling by the wayside.
Taking time off from a four day four city fund raising trip to North America the former Sheffield United chief decided to praise Motherwell while dropping hints to Sevco fans that other SPL clubs won’t be on thrown the red carpet should he still be around if Sevco work their way into the SPL.
“We recognise what happened and when some of these clubs come to Ibrox they will be welcome,” Green stated before adding: “When others come, they won’t be so welcome.
“We know that Rangers are bigger than all of this so we ask the fans to get behind the club as they have done so well.
“I want them out there at the Motherwell game cheering, singing and waving the flags.
“Motherwell are a club who are suffering financially because Rangers are not in the SPL and we don’t believe that Motherwell are anti-Rangers.
“We believe that there was pressure; they were under pressure from their own fans and they took a decision and we understand that.
“If you had taken all of these external pressures away then Motherwell and other clubs would have voted differently.”
Despite claims of wanting to move on and pleasure at being given a Third Division place Green can’t contain his anger about the events of the summer when his newco found the SPL door closed.
He added: “What fans have to understand is what occurred at Hampden over our SPL status when 10 clubs voted against and one abstained.
“Ally and I sat there and we know what happened. We know that only half of those clubs wanted Rangers out of that league.
“I believe that a number of the clubs were bounced into it.
“Why, for example, would Ross County spend all their lifetime trying to get into the Premier League to find Rangers were not there? It’s inconceivable.
“But we understand what happened and we know the reasons behind it. We understand we have to suffer the punishment for the sins of the forefathers and we have done that.”
Sevco face a crucial week of matches including the visit of Montrose to Ibrox and vital cup ties against Motherwell and Highland League aces Forres Mechanics.
