THE SPFL CHIEF EXECUTIVE today broke his own silence to hit out at the Rangers and challenge those running the latest Ibrox club to come forward with whatever evidence that they claim to have so that it can be investigated.

The club that was formed in 2012 by Founding Father Charles Green has been nothing but trouble for the Scottish game. They reached two major finals losing both the Hibs in 2016 and Celtic in 2019 and their fans rioted at the 3-2 defeat to Hibs.

Later the Ibrox club claimed that every single one of their player were assaulted on the Hampden pitch by the celebrating Hibs supporters.

Here’s what Doncaster – a man that they actually owe a great deal to yet as too pig-ignorant to recognise it – has had to say today on Sky Sports. And essentially it was a put up or shut up message.

“Ultimately, if people have allegations they wish to make then they should have the courage to bring them forward to the chairman and let them be investigated,” Doncaster said.

“It’s absolutely right and proper that any allegations are brought forward and to the attention of the chairman so they can be investigated.

“It’s just not acceptable for these vague assertions to be made without anything being brought forward. We’ve got demands for suspension of myself and another trusted employee of the SPFL without any clarity as to what it is we’ve alleged to have done wrong,” an angry Neil Doncaster stated.

“I just don’t find that acceptable at all. In terms of relationships, we exist to serve all 42 member clubs. We’re an entirely democratic members organisation and it’s the right of the three clubs to call for an EGM.

“As a result, the board have put that EGM in place on 12 May  and if the 42 member clubs decide they want our time and their money spent on this exercise then that is their democratic right.

“I would say eight out of the nine SPFL board members feel that is wholly inappropriate and not good use of anyone’s time or money and we should be pulling together to fight the common enemy that is Covid-19,” the SPFL CEO continued.

“I feel all of us have acted with integrity and acted with the best interests of all 42 clubs as a whole at the forefront of our minds.

“We’ve done what we can under time pressure in circumstances where we know clubs are crying out for clarity and money and want games to return.

“We all want the situation to move on, we all want games to be played, and we’d far rather be talking about football than all of thse matters.”
