Green welcomes Murray back

Charles Green has forgiven David Murray for selling Rangers to Craig Whyte and opened talks with the former Ibrox owner.

During the summer Green promised to rename Murray Park as he started the process of bringing the fans onside.

In June the Sevco spokesman revealed: “We will be taking Rangers forward to better days and one idea I put forward today is my plan to rename Murray Park.

“Following discussions with the supporters, we will be asking season-ticket holders to vote on whether to rename Murray Park either the Moses McNeil Academy or the Davie Cooper Academy. We will be asking supporters to vote when they renew their season tickets.”

The result of that ballot has still to be announced with Green yesterday talking up the man that introduced EBT’s and Whyte to Ibrox.

Green said: “He (Murray) did sell the club to Craig Whyte and that’s history now. Sir David wouldn’t have been the first person that made a mistake with Mr Whyte but we all have to move on.

“Whilst there may be some fans who are unhappy with Sir David there were lots of fans who were unhappy with Charles Green and I would like to think we have forward on that as well.

“Sir David is really keen to help the club. I welcome that and I appreciate the time we spent together.

“He has some clear views in terms of EBTs and there is no-one knows better than Sir David about that and he is prepared to do whatever is required to set the record straight.

“From a tangible point of view one of the things we went to discuss was trying to acquire Edmiston House because that would be very important to my plans.

“I think we have agreed in principle a deal on that. So he has helped the club by coming to an acceptable deal on that and that is very much appreciated.

“We have some plans for the property and these will be unveiled in the future.”

“I am looking forward to seeing him and meeting with him again because he has a wealth of knowledge of Rangers Football Club. He was very important to this club over the last 20 years.”
