Soccer:The Scottish Football Association has stated that Rangers owner Craig Whyte "is not considered to be a fit and proper person to hold a position within association football" following an independent inquiry into the stricken club.
SFA chief executive Stewart Regan also confirmed that Rangers face a charge of bringing the game into disrepute. The findings of the independent inquiry were heard at a Special Board Meeting at Hampden Park today and will now be referred to the Judicial Panel.
The SFA confirmed on February 17th - three days after Rangers went into administration - that they would conduct a full independent inquiry into the activities of the club and investigate whether there had been any potential breaches of their Articles of Association.
The football governing body said at that time attempts to obtain information relating to their “fit and proper person” requirement had been restricted by the club solicitors’ failure to share information.
Celtic, meanwhile, will not be holding a media conference tomorrow ahead of Sunday’s Scottish Cup quarter-final against Dundee United at Tannadice. The Parkhead club took the unusual step amid the crisis enveloping Old Firm rivals Rangers.
The Ibrox club‘s administrators have warned of significant redundancies tomorrow as they bid to keep the Scottish champions afloat.
