Conflicted Ogilvie wants Rangers peacemaker role

Campbell Ogilvie wants to play peacemaker between the SFA and Charles Green.

The SFA president has been keeping a low profile since Rangers went into administration and the disclosure that he received an EBT payment.

Ogilvie was a director at Rangers when the EBT scheme was introduced while also being a committee member at the SFA.

Green has been involved in a war of words with the SFA since Sevco were granted membership with Ogilvie hoping that he can sooth things over once Lord Nimmo Smith has given his verdict on the dual contracts controversy.

“Now, things are up and running, and I would like to sit down and speak to Charles Green,” the SFA president stated.

“I thought it was better after the summer to let the dust settle but, as president, I believe I have a role to play in trying to bring things together and moving forward for the future.

“That’s not just relative to Rangers, it’s in any situation with any club.”

Asked about his own position being compromised Ogilvie added: “Until we know the outcome, I can’t comment any further than I have already done.

“I’ve tried to be upfront throughout this process. Really, we have to see what the outcome is.

“I don’t see that it should make any difference to the way I operate, but I think it’s only fair that we hear the outcome of both that tribunal and the SPL tribunal.

“I’d like to see what the outcome is first of all. You’ve got to remember at the time, when these were operated, they were perfectly legal, if operated correctly.

“So let’s see what comes out of it. Further down the line, we will just have to wait and see.

“If there was a feeling that it was causing an issue, then I would have to discuss that with the Association.”
