ForeverBlue_Since91 2,895 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Sixty-seven players are involved in legal action against Rangers over the handling of their contracts.PFA Scotland has raised an employment tribunal claim, which Rangers say is on behalf of 67 unnamed players, relating to a failure "to inform and consult".The action relates to the transfer of player contracts between the oldco and newco Rangers following the sale of the club's assets to Charles Green's consortium.In addition, three former players Sone Aluko, Kyle Lafferty and Jamie Ness are taking Rangers to a separate employment tribunal over the circumstances that led to them leaving the club, citing "constructive dismissal".STV understands both claims have been lodged with HM Courts and Tribunal Service in Glasgow, though no dates for hearings have yet been set.A consortium of businessmen led by Charles Green bought the assets of Rangers old company while it was in the hands of administrators. Player contracts were transferred to the new company under TUPE legislation when Mr Green’s consortium took control of the club.However, several first team players refused to transfer their contracts and left for other clubs, a matter which has been taken to the Scottish Football Association for arbitration and will be heard next year.Details of the claims being raised were detailed in a share prospectus issued by Rangers ahead of their stock market flotation.In the prospectus, the Ibrox club challenged PFA Scotland’s right to bring a claim on behalf of 67 players and said it wants a pre-tribunal hearing to dismiss their claim.Rangers also said that they will defend the separate claim by Aluko, Lafferty and Ness.The share proposal also states: "They claim constructive dismissal. [Rangers Football Club Ltd] has challenged the right of these players to bring such claims for a number of separate jurisdictional reasons, but in any event these are low value claims."Rangers believe the claims have been made "for tactical purposes" relating to the dispute over the transfer of their registration which the Scottish FA arbitration is to settle.

scarkev 3,540 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 The first part is just wishart and the SFA looking for another reason to fuck us IMO now that the finances are back in the black and some are trying to take advantage of that.Aluko I can understand as he probably lost money last year but if that wee prick ness who we supported through injury after injury and gave him his chance in football even contemplates going down this route he is more of a scumbag than I thought...lafferty..you just have to laugh at his "sob" story in the sun even more now!

Redwhiteandblue 3,330 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 67 is realistic with the amount of youth teams we have.We would not have had 67 players on professional contracts. Not a hope in hell was there that many. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarkev 3,540 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 am i getting this right? Lafferty, aluko and ness are trying to get money off of us?On the surface yes....greedy pricks. But I think it is a counter defence to us trying to claim compensation for them leaving....as I said above how ness can have the brass neck to go down this route after everything we did for him is unforgivable!!!

Gandalf the Blue 1,384 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 We eventually got a transfer fee for Davis, and also Mccabe I think. The fact that they arent mentioned makes this look like a pre-emptive counter claim incase we decide to chase the traitors for money. Surprised paysmith and whittaker arent mentioned though.
