RANGERS' appeal against sanctions imposed by the Scottish Football Association will be heard next Wednesday – and the panel members have been named following consultation with police.
The administration-hit club was fined £160,000 and handed a 12-month transfer embargo by an SFA judicial panel last month after being found guilty of five charges over its financial affairs and appointment of Craig Whyte as chairman.
The appeal will be heard by the Rt Honourable Lord Carloway, who will chairman; Craig Graham, chairman of Edinburgh amateur club Spartans FC; and Allan Cowan, the former chairman of Partick Thistle.
The move to name the panel came after the identities of the three who made the original decision were revealed on the internet, leading to them receiving threats and police giving them safety security advice.
