Rangers' chief executive Charles Green renews attack on Scottish Premier League He also stated that Rangers FC, the club, includes its owner and operator. The commission has in effect ruled that Rangers and its history did not die on June 14 despite numerous reports to the contrary. This means that Rangers FC and its owner, i.e. me and my consortium, remained a member of the SPL even after the change of ownership. Nimmo Smith refers to newco and oldco throughout his report on the first stage of the hearing and states: "Newco is not and never has been a member of the SPL." But he adds: "In legal terms, it (a club) appears to us to be no different from any other undertaking which is capable of being carried on, bought and sold." Green also hit out at the SFA, who transferred Rangers" membership to his company days before the season began in July following protracted negotiations. He said: "That recognisable entity, Rangers FC, then reappeared when the SFA demanded that we pay oldco's debts despite there being no legal obligation to do so. The SPL wanted Rangers FC and its new owners to admit guilt in relation to EBT breaches that had never been framed and accept five stripped titles. Rangers FC suddenly vanished again when Uefa informed the SFA that Rangers FC were due in excess of 300,000 euros for player participation in the Euro 2012 qualifiers, the SFA have refused to confirm that the monies are due to Rangers FC despite obligations placed on them from Uefa that these monies should be distributed to member clubs. Green, who is not co-operating with the SPL probe, added: "The establishment of the commission is the most striking example of the chaotic way the fate of Rangers has been handled by the football authorities. Most people would not think it right that a football authority that was willing to horse-trade league titles and cups for league status, should then embark on the course of action it has chosen in setting up a commission. There is no clearer case of moving the goalposts.
