BBC Scotland reports that Stewart Robertson has assured the representatives of other Premiership clubs they will see Rangers’ evidence against the SPFL next week.

The Gers managing director is said to have made the claim during a virtual meeting of all top-flight sides hosted by Aberdeen on Friday afternoon.

Last month, Rangers called for an SPFL Extraordinary General Meeting accusing the league association of bullying tactics in an effort to end the Championship, League One and League Two seasons early amid the global health crisis.

Their call was backed by both Hearts and Stranraer, ensuring an EGM will take place on 12 May.

Verdict

This particular row between Rangers and the SPFL has been raging on for some time now.

Earlier in the week, former Gers vice-chairman, Donald Findlay, criticised the club for holding back their evidence [The Nine].

Other clubs will soon be able to see what has been gathered, but it seems unlikely that the information will be fully released into the public domain prior to the EGM.

Despite the likes of Findlay’s protests, it makes sense for the club to hold back what they have until it’s absolutely necessary to disclose it.

Releasing information too early would play into the SPFL’s hands and could undermine the call for an independent investigation.
