Davy Vandenbroucke 26,146 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 https://www.rangers.co.uk/Article/club-statement-120321/2KQAVADoJ1CebFCF3Mzj0c WE are in receipt of the report published by the SFA following the review of sexual abuse in Scottish Football and have taken some time to consider its lengthy findings and recommendations. We are firmly committed to ensuring openness and transparency in relation to this issue and agree on the uninterrupted ethical obligation of clubs over time, irrespective of changes. We express our sincere sympathy to all individuals who have suffered abuse within the Scottish game and commend the bravery of all survivors who have come forward. With regard to the specific instances referred to, as the report states, these concerned one former employee. We note the report accepts that when former senior managers were provided with a direct allegation this was taken seriously and dealt with promptly. The report commends the action taken and acknowledges Rangers have previously said publicly the matter was reported to the police at the time. Today, Rangers is at the forefront of child safety and well-being in football. We believe it is a moral obligation to ensure that Scottish Football is beyond reproach and all safeguarding measures are strictly adhered to. We agree that it is time for all of Scottish Football to learn from and take responsibility for mistakes made in the past. We fully acknowledge the impact of these events and the enduring effect on individual lives. We apologise to anyone personally affected by abuse within Scottish Football.

southcoastbear 1,639 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Basically we all know where to look for this disgrace that shamed Scottish football and the governing body's inability or refusal to take action against those who refuse to take responsibility continues to revulse and disgust all decent fans.

Bears r us 30,791 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 That seems fine to me, if only 'all clubs' had reported wrong doing then maybe it would have been stopped much sooner and many less victims would have suffered.
