Rangers' Charles Green expects SFL to unveil plans for league reconstruction Hearts are the latest Clydesdale Bank Premier League side to experience financial turmoil and are battling for survival after Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs issued a winding-up order over a tax bill of almost £450,000. Green added: "Hearts have got into financial difficulty and there were rumours in the papers that there were another couple of SPL clubs in financial difficulty so it is a time for change. Whether the SPL could survive if two clubs go out of business would be really questionable. We are just focusing on winning the Third Division and getting promotion. We are a football club, we just win matches and, if you keep winning games, you will end up at the top. What the top will be called in three years, who knows? If it happens beforehand because of restructuring, or because clubs go out of business, that's unfortunate, but we had to get on with our lives and other clubs will have to do the same. Reports said the SFL's proposals are for a three-tier system for Scottish football with a 16-team top league, 10-strong middle division and an 18-team bottom section supplemented by reserve teams from Rangers and Celtic. Meanwhile Graeme Souness believes Walter Smith's decision to join the Rangers board brings enormous credibility to the Charles Green regime. The club announced on Sunday evening that former manager Smith and retired Glasgow businessman Ian Hart had accepted the role of non-executive directors. The moves come five months after Smith tried to lead a bid to buy out Green's consortium, who purchased the business and assets of Rangers for £5.5 million after they were consigned to liquidation in the summer. Green rebuffed those attempts and instead tried to persuade Smith to join his group and, having now succeeded in bringing the veteran boss on board, Souness - who managed Rangers between 1986 and 1991 - feels Green has pulled off a major coup. He said: "It's a good move. Walter is Mr Rangers in modern history and it can only be good for the club. I'm sure Walter has not taken that post on without doing some due diligence. He's looked into what's going on at the club and what's behind the club and he obviously feels it's right for him. Walter is very much his own man and the credibility that brings to Rangers now is enormous. No one knew Charles Green coming in to Rangers. But, in my opinion, if I was a Rangers supporter, I would be very, very happy that Walter is involved again. Forget him just being involved and the knowledge he brings, it validates more of what Mr Green is trying to do. Fans were initially reluctant to trust Green in the wake of the disastrous Craig Whyte stewardship, but have gradually been won over. And Green believes Smith - who managed Rangers to 10 league titles in two spells - can play a major role in the Light Blues' ongoing recovery. He told talkSPORT: "We have spent a lot of time together, this is not a spur of the moment decision from Walter. People who know him know he is a very, very deep thinker. He is passionate about Rangers and it's a big decision for him, he is not making this decision lightly. Walter knows we aren't going to let Rangers down and he's fully supportive of what we're doing. Walter is delighted to be back at the club and I'm sure all the fans and the board concur with my thoughts that we couldn't get anyone better to bring onto the board. Walter's got a great amount of knowledge of not just Scottish football but world football, and part of where we are trying to get the club is back into world football, where Rangers belong. I think he will be pivotal in helping us do that. Green also hopes Smith's involvement can help ensure the success of a £20 million share issue. He added: "It's going very well. The fans have been fantastic. We've got commitments from the supporters and, I have to say, prior to this announcement, they were at over £20 million. So one would expect that this endorsement from Walter of what we're doing would also encourage people. Neil Lennon says Celtic energy will return Neil Lennon remains relaxed despite Celtic passing up on the chance to go back top of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League yesterday with a 1-1 draw against St Johnstone on Sunday. "I have been in worse positions than this," said Lennon, who is looking for Billy Stark to leave Kris Commons and Charlie Mulgrew on the sidelines for the friendly against Luxembourg due to the Hoops" punishing current schedule. We are two points behind with a game in hand and if we win the game in hand we are top of the league. Last year we were 15 points behind. There was a flatness and lethargy but that's the amount of games catching up. We have played considerably more games than any other team in the league, nine or 10 more and we are only into November. After the Champions League group stages are over and we get a month or two of week-to-week football I think you will see the team become consistent and play with more energy. St Johnstone manager Steve Lomas, who apologised to referee Iain Brines after being sent to the stand in the second half for complaining about his decision to let Tony Watt back on after receiving treatment, praised his side for their battling display. He had special thanks for defender Frazer Wright who stayed on despite coughing up blood, a dedication to the cause made all the more significant as stopper David McCracken had to be replaced after six minutes by Gary Miller after suffering a suspected broken cheekbone. Lomas said: "Frazer wanted to stay on and that shows you his character." Houston praises Skacel Peter Houston praised Rudi Skacel after Dundee United's 2-1 defeat at leaders Hibernian. "He's a quality player," the manager said. We've talked about trying to get him into the team once he is fully fit. He's not played since May so it's going to take a bit of time, and it's the same with Gary Mackay-Steven. It's about getting them fully fit and able to play 90 minutes and then I think we'll be a real danger going forward. Watson in Hall of Fame Scotland's first black international Andrew Watson, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame yesterday, was the "Beckham of his time," according to historians. Watson, who played for Scotland in the early 1880s, is among five new members of the Scottish Football Hall of Fame along with Gordon McQueen, Frank McLintock, Bob McPhail and Pat Stanton. Scottish Football Museum curator Richard McBrearty said about the South American-born Watson: "His legacy is global." More woe for Romanov There was more bad news for Hearts owner Vladimir Romanov on Monday. AB Ukio Bankas, the Lithuanian bank he controls, fell to an eight-year low on the Vilnius exchange, losing a quarter of its value in a month.
