Charles Green Statement

Written by 

RANGERS Chief Executive Charles Green has reacted to news today that Craig Whyte has made certain claims in an interview with the BBC.

In the interview to be broadcast later today Craig Whyte has claimed he introduced Charles Green to Duff and Phelps as the administrators searched for a buyer for Rangers.

The Rangers Chief Executive said: “Yet again Craig Whyte’s version of events paints a misleading picture of what actually happened and it’s regrettable that the BBC is providing him with such a platform.  

“The facts are that direct contact was made by our consortium with Craig Whyte in the first instance as it appeared at that time that his shares would have to be secured in order for any purchase of the Club to progress.  

“I was not present when contact was initially made but subsequently met Craig Whyte who introduced me to the administrator. 

“I had no previous association with Craig Whyte and it is misleading to suggest he ‘brought us in’. 

“I was brought to the transaction by Imran Ahmad following Duff and Phelps contacting Zeus Capital's Manchester office in February, due to their experience in the football sector.“
