Sixty-seven players 'in legal action' over Rangers contract transfer.

[Jules Gers 66]

Surely this is only to counteract any move by CG if he were to as he said "legally challenge" any player breaking their contract by moving on.

[elephants stoned 2,994]

Don't know if it's posted yet but from Jigs twitter account.

@jiggymacc6: For everyone asking,I'm not involved in the 67 people and if my name is there it will be getting taken off.

I dont believe Jig would ever do something so underhand as this, the mans a supporter just like us, hes just a very talented and lucky supporter whos living the dream

The big man bleeds blue blood, his name never even came into my head when trying to work out who those 67 players could be.

[Creampuff 22,628]

I call bullshit.

[Marco Negri's Beard 1,423]

I call bullshit.

With the amount denying any involvement and the simple fact that we didn't have all that many players, it does seem a bit odd

[trueblueal 2,117]

I'll bet they are involved without knowing it. I read on twitter the players sign something with the SPFA when they join which allows the union to act on their behalf. This will have been done without consulting the players

[BlueMe 25,327]

it doesn't need to be players does it?

the 67 could include staff also,catering,media or whatever?

Mine neither

[showtime69 514]

Naismith has denied nothing,, the guy asked him if he was involved but then also asked if he could answer,, Naismith just replied "no",, could be an answer to either question

after his conduct in the summer im taking that "no" as an answer to the 2nd question

if im wrong fair enough but i wouldnt be suprised to see the wee money grabbing prick trying to get more money out of us

I was under the impression from earlier that it referred only to players. No clue though. There hasn't been much clarity on the story at all

ah ok,cheers mate.i'm sure we'll know soon enough.

Don't take that as any kind of fact, just what I thought was said earlier. Seems bizarre to me

[Dickie1963 2,357]

Saw a tweet from Aluko on another forum and he seemed to be saying he knows nothing about this !!!

[scarkev 3,540]

No doubt the rags will be all over it tomorrow....but until such times that the club or green explains the situation I wouldn't read to much into what is said in the press (not that you ever should)...

Will be interesting to hear the pfa reasoning and if ness etc are taking action what their justification is....it wouldn't surprise me one bit if this is coming from the SFA just to try and fuck us over!

[Bad Robot 21,287]

What happened in '67? anything big?

yes we unfortunately got beat 1-0 in extra time by bayern in the European Cup Winners Cup :-(

[South parker 28]

67....Might it extend to former players who then became scouts or directors or in some other role within the club. It is the same club under new owners so they may claim it has nothing to do with the old company and somehow claim CG and the club is at fault. P.S not sure about this but are former players able to continue in the union after retirement.

[RFC55 109,163]

Mcabe says he knows nothing of it

[El Carpintero 546]

The number of tarriers Murray employed within our club?

[Marco Negri's Beard 1,423]

There is, of course, the distinct possibility that these former players denying any wrongdoing might be lying through their arse. Wouldn't be the first time

[dtmuir 3]

Reads to me like it could be all the work of the PFA Scotland, who are just claiming for every player who was employed at the club before the contract transfers. This means that the players may not have anything to do with it at all, just PFA Scotland causing a stir.

[cstamomusa 3,811]

[LegendofCoop 17,385]

Names I can think of/imagine that may be involved (No inside info....just my immediate thoughts):-

Lafferty; Ness; Whittaker; Naismith (despite the refute); McGregor; Fleck; Davis; Ortiz?; Healy.

[Cadman 342]

I always thought the players treacherous scumbags, prior to upping sticks after deciding things were better elsewhere (hahaha), were informed of their position by their agents after consultation with the PFA (aka Wishart) and were, as a result, apparently crystal clear on what they could and couldn't do. There contracts were held by the 'oldco' and, if they insist they didn't transfer over, they haven't a leg to stand on regarding the current setup and their old contracts are null and void due to the current liquidation process. In my opinion their chancing their arm and hoping to get something out of it - aided and abetted by the Scottish PFA.

[ForeverBlue_Since91 2,895]

Well it's in the share prospectus so someone is lying. PFA? Fraser Wishart? That cunt just looks snidey.

For everyone asking,I'm not involved in the 67 people and if my name is there it will be getting taken off..

This would suggest to me that cases are being raised without the players knowledge, something fishy definitely going on.

Any coincidence in the number 67 ???
