Rangers response to Mark Daly's Gordon Neely article


‘BBC Scotland’s reporting on these horrific incidents and, in particular, its sensationalist and unfair accusation of a cover up by Rangers is disgraceful.

'Rangers based its prior description as to what occurred on trusted first-hand accounts from those with personal knowledge of what took place and the appropriate steps taken at that time. To suggest, as BBC Scotland’s Mark Daly has done, that these are invalidated by a short, filler piece in the Rangers News written almost 30 years ago by someone who clearly had no knowledge of the events, or the reasons for Neely’s sacking is nonsense. Indeed, it is shameful.

'BBC Scotland has a history of inaccurate reporting when commenting on Rangers and a string of apologies given to Rangers by BBC Scotland in recent times is clear evidence of this. However, on a matter of such gravity we do not think it is unreasonable to expect better than Mr Daly’s report.

'The important people here are the victims of abuse and we owe it to them to deal sensitively and supportively with the issues they raise.

'Rangers will do all it can to assist in offering support and counselling to anyone affected. Their wellbeing should be at the centre of every right thinking person’s concern.

'Ridiculous claims of a cover up against those seeking to deal with such matters in a sensitive manner suggests sensationalism and in this instance point to a desire to attack Rangers as being more important to those reporting these horrific incidents than looking after the victims of abuse.’

The BBC have overstepped the boundaries of decency and fairness here.

An utterly biased body that hates us and will take any opportunity to defame our club. Their bias needs called out and action taken against the employess who are targetting Rangers.
 
Now really is the time for the club to start fighting fire with fire and the fact they’ve called this one out as quickly and firmly is a positive.

Hopefully they don’t leave it at that. These people are enemies of our club and it’s long since gone past the time for ‘doing a Chamberlain’ and appeasing them. There’s no ‘honest mistakes’ with this, so the time to ignore is gone.

Good on us. No fvcking about
 
There has to be a follow up. We need to lead the way here.
Call on the SFA To impose sanctions on ANY CLUB, who covered up even one instance of child abuse.

If there are cases where, directors, managers and players colluded and protected the good name of clubs in hundreds of cases over 30 YEARS, then there can be only one punishment.
 
Two clubs in Glasgow with alledged evidence of Paedo activity .... If you were a BBC Scotland journalist , which one would you investigate?

Good response but feel could have expanded on to Hibs...no mention per se but a comment along this would not have happened had a fellow club who were aware of his crimes had contacted us.
Put the heat on the Spoonburners and see if they call out the Dhims in defence.
