Rangers have confirmed that they will release evidence of SPFL corruption to member clubs ahead of an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) on an internal investigation.
The Ibrox club has been calling for an independent investigation into the corporate governance of the SPFL in the wake of their botched voting process concerning the Scottish league season’s culmination.
The SPFL allowed Dundee to change their vote, have been accused of bullying clubs into voting in favour of their proposals, and even told Aberdeen their vote was redundant.
“There are key issues to be discussed and agreed within Scottish football including the circumstances and dates on which football can resume, the health and safety of all involved and the financial implications for members,” reads a Rangers statement.
“It is vital that those involved in making those decisions have the confidence and support of member clubs. An independent investigation provides a route to achieving this.
“It has always been Rangers’ intention to produce our evidence at the appropriate time.
“The evidence will be provided to all member clubs well in advance of a general meeting to approve an independent investigation.”
An SPFL “independent” investigation was carried out by Deloitte – and found “no evidence of improper behaviour” – but Rangers claim this was not wide-ranging enough [Rangers].
SPFL clubs were also completely unaware of its existence until it was released via an open letter written by the SPFL’s independent non-executive director Karyn McCluskey [BBC].
Rangers have always said they will only hand their evidence over to an independent investigation.
The Ibrox club was then pressured by Ross County chairman Roy MacGregor, who told the Ibrox club to “put up or shut up” [Daily Record] regarding their evidence.
Rangers have confirmed member clubs will get access to the evidence ahead of the vote over an independent investigation into the governance of the SPFL.
