A VOTE is to be held on Charles Green's future at Rangers at an emergency meeting of club elite with the chief executive describing Mr Green's conduct since arriving back at Ibrox as immoral and unethical.

Craig Mather announced that a board meeting is to be called within the next seven days to discuss Green.

In a matter of days he has been embroiled in a furious public row with manager Ally McCoist and issued an ultimatum to tycoon Jim McColl to stump up £14m for the shares owed by Mr Green's consortium - or stay away from Ibrox business.

Green's deadline for Mr McColl to act is the close of business today.

Mather, who was originally brought into the Rangers fold by Green as an investor and appointed chief executive just last month, said: "I didn't agree with Charles Green. I don't agree with his behaviour and I don't think its right. Its morally and ethically wrong."

Green received an undisclosed pay off from the club when he left in April and now receives £1000 a month and on a one-month notice period.

Mr Mather also revealed he will contact Mr McColl about his plans to force him off the board along with finance director Brian Stockbridge and non executive director Bryan Smart.

Mr McColl wants to bring in former director Paul Murray and Frank Blin, a finance expert and former head of PricewaterhouseCoopers in Scotland, to the boardroom.

Mr Mather told fans last night that Mr McColl's plans needed to be fleshed out but conceded that Blin had an impressive record.

The chief executive said he had no view on Paul Murray, the former head of the Blue Knights consortium who has been involved in two attempts to buy the club since last year.

Green claims he has raised around £34m for the club in three separate investment rounds since its collapse.

He has criticised club performance, high spending on players and the board's decision not to raise the cost of a season ticket this year by 10%.

A spokesman for Mr Green said: "Charles Green pleads guilty to the following crimes - saving the club from Craig Whyte and now trying to prevent it from following into the hands of men who haven't invested a penny.

"Talk is cheap as Paul Murray and Frank Blin have repeatedly proved. Action costs more, more than the £2.80 invested by billionaire Jim McColl.

"As regards Mr Mather it is clear he is confused and intimidated by the fans' robust actions. Perhaps he should return to a much gentler business atmosphere.

"As for calling a board meeting to discuss Charles, perhaps he should ask his fellow board members before pushing the panic button. Glasgow is a place for big boys not frightened wee laddies."
