Green to stay at Ibrox till he hears Champions League anthem
With storm clouds gathering on the back of Craig Whyte’s return to the spotlight and allegations flying about the conduct of Duff & Phelps Green has kept quiet for almost a full week.
Celtic’s display in the Nou Camp has tugged at the heart strings of the Yorkshireman who is dreaming of welcoming the biggest clubs in Europe to Ibrox.
A number of hurdles will have to be overcome with the major obstacle being UEFA’s requirement that new clubs must have three years of audited accounts before competing in their competitions.
While the SFA were happy to ignore their own rules to give Sevco membership Green would have to wait until the 2017/18 season to play in Europe assuming they have worked their way back to winning the SPL
“My intention was to come in to the club, get the funding in place, make sure Rangers’ future was secured and then leave,” Green told his friends at the Record.
“That was my job but now I’m staying until I hear that Champions League anthem blaring out once again across Ibrox. That’s what the fans and the people here should be given and if that can be delivered maybe I’ll feel my job is complete.
“Playing in the Champions League is the pinnacle and with the correct structures in place there is every reason to believe Rangers can return to that arena. We have plans to move this club forward and I know we, with the fans, can make it great again. That’s the objective now so I won’t be leaving here in a hurry.
“I could say my initial job is all but done but there’s a bigger challenge ahead now and I’m not going until the Rangers fans hear that music blaring out inside their own stadium. That’s the night I will know we have achieved something special.”
