GREEN: "We 'aven't spat on anyone".
Rangers chief executive Charles Green believes Scottish football must do "what is right financially" as the club await a vote on their future status.
Green told the Rangers website:
"My family came up poor, we didn't have two brass farthings to rub together us britches showin', muck an splat reet up t'neck but we made our way up through 'ard graft" adding "Let me make this very simple for you, fancy ideas about sporting integrity are all well and good in that fancy London but it won't butter thee parsnips will it?"
Scottish Premier League clubs will decide on 4 July whether Green's 'newco' Rangers can replace the old club in the top flight.
Should Green not get the necessary support, Rangers would have to apply to the Scottish Football League for the vacancy that would arise in Division Three after various clubs are moved up a division.
He added:
"Look I'm poor me, I still 'aven't got nowt and I didn't buy this club t'play in't third bloody division". "A've saved this club from t'brink and ah don't do owt for nowt me".
Rangers are currently facing charges of bringing the game into disrepute and illegal registration of players by Scottish Football Authorities.
Mr Green went on:
"C'mon we may 'ave broken few rules, with'eld tax t'bloody government, cheated a few titles here and there but it's not as if we spat on anyone ", adding "We certainly 'aven't spat on anyone". "Any proper football person'll tell you that's the worst thing you can do in football".
Our sources have confirmed that various ongoing investigations into the club being conducted by liquidators on behalf of HMRC, the Scottish Football Association, the Scottish Premier League and the Strathclyde Police Force are not concerned with any saliva related rule breaches.
