julescotia 11,407 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Green: Rangers could use sex discrimination laws to sue UEFARangers chief executive Charles Green claims he could use sex discrimination laws to sue UEFA if they try to block the club's moves to join a cross-border league.Green has vowed to look into ways of taking Rangers out of Scottish football following the announcement of a new 12-18-18 league set-up - drawn up by the Scottish Premier League and Scottish Football League in conjunction with the Scottish Football Association - that would keep the Light Blues in Scotland's basement tier, even if they go on to win this season's Third Division title.And the Ibrox chief believes he has precedent on his side when he claims the club should be granted access to leagues in other countries.He told TalkSport: "As the structures stand now, there are not many options. But I'm not one for hiding my light behind a bushel."People say you can't go into England because you are not allowed cross-borders (leagues)."Well there is now a cross-border (league). You have a UEFA-sanctioned professional women's league in Belgium and Holland, so we have a precedent there."If there was an opportunity to join a cross-border league and that was challenged by UEFA, I would go to Strasbourg and challenge the sexual equality."http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/home-news/green-rangers-could-use-sex-discrimination-laws-to-sue-uefa.1357906317 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky_ 893 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 PS the Premiership is a cross border league. So is the championship.Well technically it may not be, because Wales & England are infact the same country... but so are we, so how can you freeze out certain parts of the same country?

corriebrae 2 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I know it has been said many times but Charles Green is a top man and won't be messed around by anyone. Good on him Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilko89 507 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 CG must have heard something promising from England, be it the conference or whatever that if he could find a way to allow it, they would vote us in. Why would he go to all this bother all to get rejected at the last hurdle? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Jela 21,614 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 This is getting absolutely ridiculous. We're in Scotland, we're staying in Scotland, accept it and get over it, Charles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EatDolphins 5,360 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 This is getting absolutely ridiculous. We're in Scotland, we're staying in Scotland, accept it and get over it, Charles.Wether a move is a viable option or not, we have to be seen to at least look for other possibilities. The only other option is callow capitulation. And I think we've all been vocally against that since before Charles' time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MosesMcNeil 1,664 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 This is getting absolutely ridiculous. We're in Scotland, we're staying in Scotland, accept it and get over it, Charles.I think you must be right. We'll see professional athletes at the Olympics before Rangers play in a non-Scottish league... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
