Fans have a voice in Charles Green

I WAS unsure what the SFA could have done if Rangers chief executive Charles Green had been found guilty of bringing the game into disrepute over his comments on the integrity of the EBT Commission.

They couldn't ban him from the dugout. There is no punishment for someone in Green's position.

Anyway, the charge was found not proven at Hampden yesterday so it is immaterial. In the last three or four months Green has done something nobody at Rangers has done in the last 25 years – defend the club.

Yes, at times he goes overboard. But the fans prefer him fighting back to nobody sticking up for Rangers at all.

At times he plays up to the fans, of course he does. But that is clearly preferable to nobody fighting their corner, as was the case for many years in the past. But I think that, having escaped with a finger wagging, he is going to have to watch his step in the future. He is dealing with QCs and Lords, well respected people in society, now.

I was pleased to read him expressing in the club's official statement yesterday the desire to move forward and work for the betterment of the Scottish game.

The SFA, the SPL and Rangers have bigger issues to address. Specifically, they must all work together to get the game in this country thriving once again.
