Andy Kerr from RSA speaks up.

THE SPL and Rangers were last night urged to sort out the remaining differences that are preventing the team from kicking a bill.

 

The stumbling block to the club being granted an SFA licence now lies with the SPL as the row over broadcasting rights and EBTs rumbles on.

 

Ally McCoistâ??s men are due to play their first competitive match â?? a Ramsdens Cup tie at Brechin â?? on Sunday. But that is in real jeopardy unless a resolution can be found.

 

Andy Kerr, president of the Rangers Supporters Assembly, said: â??We have no time left and I canâ??t urge everyone strongly enough to resolve whatever issues remain. Sort it out.

 

â??This is serious. At what point do we have to call off the game at Brechin?

 

â??If that was to happen it would be a massive blow to Rangers, who just want to get back playing football again, as well as them.

â??Brechin have catering, stewarding, policing and all manner of things to sort out in just 72 hours. Itâ??s simply not fair on them.

 

â??If it all goes pear-shaped theyâ??re clearly set to miss out on a considerable sum of much-needed money.

 

â??There really shouldnâ??t be any issues remaining in this protracted saga so late in the game.

 

â??Itâ??s a nonsense and, to be honest, this latest farce simply adds to the negative perception of Scottish football from people elsewhere.

â??Itâ??s bad enough for me that Rangers is being affected but I feel for others in all this as well.â?

 

Kerr is baffled that the membership saga has not been resolved, with Rangers and SPL chief executive Neil Doncaster still at loggerheads.

 

â??Itâ??s hugely frustrating for everyone,â? said Kerr. â??We have fans planning to go to Brechin by ferry, rail, bus and car and no one can be sure of making arrangements. The whole thing is almost farcical. Itâ??s time â?? beyond time â?? to give us a yes or no.â?

 

Last night sources at Hampden indicated that talks to settle the issue were continuing steadily.

 

However, despite there being â??broad agreementâ? on most matters, nothing had actually been concluded and some topics still had to be settled.

 

With Rangers currently banned from playing friendlies, the squad took part in three, 30-minute games on the new pitch at Ibrox yesterday.

 

The matches involved sides consisting of first team and youth players as well as trialists Ian Black and Craig Beattie.
