Rangers call for and end to the controversial EBT saga

Rangers have called for an end to the EBT saga

RANGERS are adamant they should face no further action from the SPFL, despite the appeal of the use of employee benefit trusts going against them.

 

The Championship leaders issued a strongly-worded statement yesterday after the league confirmed they were looking into the new findings.

There have been calls for the club to be stripped of all 13 trophies they won between 2001 and 2010 when they had the controversial EBT system in place.

The Light Blues, however, are adamant their history should remain in place and a line must be drawn under the whole sorry affair.

A club statement read: “Rangers has made it clear it wishes to reach out and work with all clubs to help revitalise Scottish football, which has also suffered in recent years. 

“There is much to be done and Rangers wants to be part of the way forward.

“Our game has to become more attractive to potential sponsors and partners if the finance levels required are to be generated, but this can only be done if we present a coherent and united strategy. 

“Therefore, a line must be drawn now if we are all to prosper.

“It is our irrevocable belief that this club’s history, including its many successes, is beyond debate. 

“Rangers cannot countenance or accept any talk, attempts or actions designed to undermine what this club has achieved throughout its long history.

“As far as this club is concerned there is no need for further SPFL consideration of court judgments or appeals. 

“They should be saying it is time for everyone to move on and work together for the greater good of the game. Scottish football has suffered enough.”
