The most important issue facing all of us at this time is the Covid-19 pandemic and the Board of Rangers sincerely hope all of our fans and their families are staying safe and healthy. Hopefully we will all be back supporting our team as soon as possible.
However, given events of the past week, we feel we should make comment on the SPFL resolution vote. No fair minded person can take the outcome of this vote seriously. The SPFL has conducted a process which has been misleading and deeply flawed.
In particular, publishing the outcome prior to all clubs having voted has undermined the democratic process and demonstrated unacceptable standards of corporate governance by the SPFL Executive.
We are extremely concerned that member clubs were not provided with enough information, or time, to allow them to make fully informed decisions.
Also, we are aware several club directors claimed they were being bullied at a time when Scottish football should have been acting in unity to alleviate the financial hardship of many of our clubs. Addressing the latter was one of our primary objectives and the resolution we presented could and should have been progressed.
The SPFL chose to obstruct our resolution which would have given clubs the required financial support, without the pre-condition of ending the season. The fact that this solution was not afforded sufficient consideration defies belief and further underlines the view held by many clubs that the processes and behaviours of certain individuals must now be the subject of forensic examination.
For our part, Douglas Park has already requested an independent investigation into the conduct of the executive. The SPFL appear to have acknowledged the need for an internal investigation – but only an independent investigation will provide satisfactory, credible answers. We repeat our call for the immediate suspension of Neil Doncaster and Rod McKenzie pending the outcome of the independent investigation.
It is imperative that constructive engagement begins immediately with members to evaluate all options for completing the 2019/20 Premiership season, including on the field of play. The SPFL must allow every opportunity to do so. There is precedent within Scottish football that a league must not be compromised by changing the rules during the course of the competition.
The anger of our fans is understood and shared by our Board, who continue to examine all legal options available.
So they're still greeting about being paid for playing no football?
Didn't read it but it says 'Dundee are just feenyin bastirts fvck the lot eh yeez! WATP!' or summat.
They've dropped the 'evidence' pretence. That statement is for their fans. It means nothing to anyone else and has no meaningful substance whatsoever.
So..they are now prepared to consider playing behind closed doors.
That's good.
As for 'bullying'...seriously. Any club director that's going to be bullied needs his/her erse booted.
Rangers would seriously null and void the world if it stopped Celtic.

Why didnt they lodge legal proceedings?
They had a case
No point moaning about it when they could have done something

Was it the title “supporters update” that gave the game away for you?
I wonder who they suspect of doing the bullying
Still no word of Robertson resigning?
He failed to convince his board of the merits of another route or worse, failed to raise it and only did so after agreement on the resolution was met.
He either supports his (SPFL) board's resolution and agrees or disagrees and ST .FU.
No longer tenable imho.

Thanks mate
Doncaster has let plenty go in the past for the sake of the product, as have Celtic. There's not a lot of suitable choices now. Only 1 club stirring. Disappointing really.

Almost daily, the Record had an article about null and void advocation. It would appear they're in cahoots.
Can a closed doors scenario be worked out
The record will print any scheidt to fill pages. Loada pash unless it involves some chugging bus driver

...... staring at his sister in a Dundee bus station. What larks!
Not saying much they haven’t said before, but not saying anything about evidence they have this time?!
Surely they understand that you can’t just say ‘suspend him!!’ without at least producing some form of evidence?
I think they’ve ran out of steam with this one.
An end to your comment Silver, sorry.

I read some tenuous stuff about the ICT guy being offered a position with Rangers, as tenuous as this so called evidence it could be said. Like we said at the time, if the evidence is there then heads need to roll, if the evidence isn't there then some needs to resign for misleading their own fan base
