Rangers reckon that BBC Scotland's decision to welcome Michael Stewart back onto their platforms proves that they are not serious about resolving their long-running dispute with the club.
The footie pundit hasn't appeared on any Beeb shows since Monday February 3 - the night he blasted Rangers PR chief Jim Traynor.
But SunSport understands the ex-Hearts and Hibs star is set to end his exile in the coming days following constructive talks with BBC bosses.
The news hasn't gone down well with the Ibrox side.
In a statement, they claimed that Stewart hadn't been "fair or accurate".
And as there had been no "remorse" or "apology", they would not be taking part in any discussions aimed at resolving the long-standing dispute with the national broadcaster.
The statement read: "We note BBC Scotland’s comment about Michael Stewart and we also note they have had to remind him about their guidelines around fairness and accuracy.
"That they have had to do so, makes it clear he was neither fair nor accurate during his outburst which was broadcast on radio.
"It is important to remember that during that broadcast he was dismissive of any racist behaviour towards Alfredo Morelos during the last Old Firm match.
That the BBC is now happy to allow this contributor a return to their platforms even though he has shown no remorse or offered an apology to Rangers, Alfredo Morelos, or James Traynor, who has been attacked online and also physically, defies belief.
"This also tells us that BBC Scotland has no wish to resolve our long-standing issues, which are of course around fairness and accuracy.
"In light of this Rangers will not now resume discussions on resolving those issues with the BBC."
