SFA delay Ibrox Whyte decision

Craig Whyte Rangers

The SFA have backed off from punishing Rangers International over their links to Craig Whyte.

Two weeks after asking the club for information about Whyte’s media comments the SFA have gone back to the club asking for more information.

After spending weeks cobbling together the five way agreement to grant Charles Green’s side associate membership a quick comparison between documents held at Companies House and those submitted by Green.

If there are any discrepancies then the simple solution is to suspend the licence and get those apparently in charge at Ibrox to prove that there are no links to Whyte and that the newco owns Ibrox Stadium and Murray Park.

Three weeks after Whyte made his claims the SFA appear to be no closer to resolving the matter with crucial promotion issues about to begin.

If Rangers International are linked to Whyte through Sevco there ought to be no way that RI can be promoted to the Second Division ahead of clubs that have played by the rules with no skeletons in the cupboard.

Suspending RI after the end of season play-off’s will recreate last season’s scenario where the club relegated from the Second Division are pitched against a Third Division club for the Second Division place taken by RI.

Yesterday RI informed the Stock Market that Sevco 5088 was an inactive subsidiary with Green listed as a director of Sevco 5088. Mr Whyte has reported Mr Green to the Serious Fraud Squad over the unauthorised transfer of assets from Sevco 5088 to Sevco Scotland.

Rather than dictate the pace of the enquiry it appears that the SFA are hoping against hope that the matter resolves itself- setting the lower divisions in for another summer of uncertainty.
