Uilleam 5,948 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 May we describe any of these people as even 'neutral' when it comes to Rangers? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie 8,570 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) Like any political vote, there will have been some lobbying and canvassing so it seems most likely Robertson didn't feel he had enough support. Also, IIRC, pre-2012, Rangers and Celtic apparently swapped board members every two years so it may be we've been promised a free run in two years time by not contesting this year.

MacK1950 2,378 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Sorry Frankie "pigs might fly" the "sporting integrity" idea does not apply with a certain mob. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aweebluesoandso 290 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Can't understand why Stuart Robertson didn't run. In a word Politics. He said he had a word with other SPFL Reps, so either a deal was done. Where Rangers will get an elected Rep sometime down the line, or he was bluntly told no Rangers Rep will get elected any time soon? My betting is on the latter scenario. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMc 2,754 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 May we describe any of these people as even 'neutral' when it comes to Rangers? Well one of the people elected used to have a season ticket for Ibrox a few years ago now. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
