You’re right, of course, but we need to keep our own house in order regardless of outside influences. Absolutely which is why commend the statement as rising above that. However, even though employment law obligations when moving from one employer to another were much looser back then, the fact that Hibs did not warn us what he was like is utterly shameful. Bottom line is that any company can inadvertently employ a monster. How an employer acts on discovering such a monster defines the standards and the culture. As ever, I’m proud of our club.

Rangers have a responsibility to the youths that suffered under his hands while he was at our club. They have accepted this and again reinforced that the matter was dealt with appropriately at the time. The delay in statement could be the club was ensuring the i were dotted and the t’s crossed so they can substantiate they done the right thing at the time.

The Ibrox Derry 8,904 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 About 5 years ago,The Top Wing Commander in The Canadian Airforce was convicted as a Serial Rapist and Killer. Only in the last few days a serving Met Police Officer is facing charges of Murder. Denis Neilson who raped and murdered 15 men in the 1970s and 1980s served in The British Army and The Metropolitan Police. My point is, monsters, usually don't look like monsters, or give any indication of being who they truly are. Ted Bundy is a perfect example. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the quick, knee jerk reaction many called for. class as always Rangers. I said at the time I was happy to give the club the benefit of the doubt when people were wanting an immidiate response, glad the club took their time and delivered this now.

This is the crux and the most damning point of the issue, an issue which they (and so many of their fans who would shout from the rooftops about if it was someone affected that they held dear to them) choose to ignore. It’s actually surreal, every one of them knows the truth now but just point blank refuse to accept it... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We Will Follow Rangers 12,921 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Not sure why the timetable for responding to a fairly large report surprises anyone, of course we're gonna get legal counsel on it and make sure we get our facts right before responding. We've done the right thing at every step with this issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willis 20,919 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I'm confused at to what folk are moaning about here when they say the statement should have came out sooner? are folk saying this statement should have been made years ago? Or are they saying this should have came out sooner in response to the taigs daft tweet the other day? Or are they saying it should have came out sooner as in closer to the time of the report being released? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time we told the mhedia it was reported to Police some Shettleston put a FOI request asking if Rangers had in fact reported it to Police. The FOI came back saying something along the lines of police files revealing the identity of people who reported potential crimes would not be released. So naturally that was twisted to mean that the files couldn't exist, therefore we must have been lying about reporting it. Standard tarrier behaviour in other words. Liars from cradle to grave.

Moody Blue 9,349 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Honest to fuck, BBC Scotland.....Rangers have apologised but took a month longer than everyone else.

They simply can’t help themselves and made no reference to the fact the report acknowledged how the club handled the single instance by reporting it to the authorities.

Theres only one filthy organisation should be shouldering the blame here but it goes unspoken to a great extent.
