Charles Green says his decision to refuse to allow Rangers to be stripped of titles in the summer has been “justified” by the verdict of an SPL commission. Having purchased the club’s assets in the summer, the chief executive was asked to surrender league trophies in return for the new company being transferred the oldco’s membership of the Scottish FA. Green refused to agree, with the membership then being transferred subject to a different set of conditions. A commission chaired by Lord Nimmo Smith ruled on Thursday that players were ineligible to play for Rangers between 2000 and 2011, but the club has retained five leagues won during that period. “This justifies me not rolling over at the start of the season when I was asked to sign documents accepting title stripping,” Green told STV. “It would have been easy for me to sign that and say I accepted it. But I wasn’t willing to do that. “There is no guilt on Rangers Football Club. The guilt and the fine is on the old company."
