Donald Findlay in Rangers and SPFL peacemaker offer as QC suggests 'thrashing it out'

Cowdenbeath chairman Donald Findlay QC has offered to help rebuild the damaged relationship between former club Rangers and the SPFL.

Rangers published a 200-page dossier of evidence on Thursday to back up their claims of wrongdoing by the SPFL in the vote to end the Scottish season.

On Friday the SPFL fired back with a five-page rebuttal and alleged that Ibrox interim chairman Douglas Park issued a "threat" against chief executive Neil Doncaster.

In an interview with The Courier, former Rangers vice-chairman Findlay stated he'd do anything to help mediate discussions between the pair - but he isn't sure Rangers would want his help.

And he slammed the dossier produced by the likes of Gers managing director Stewart Robertson, which the Blue Brazil chair believes lacked the evidence needed to land a blow on Doncaster and Co.

He said: "Of course, I’d do anything to help.

"But I’m not sure the present regime at Ibrox would be interested in my help.

“I don’t believe I’m seeing anything (in the dossier) that would merit a full-blown enquiry. I just don’t see it.

“I might be missing something. I thought we were going to see evidence of corruption and bullying and I’m not seeing that at all.

“Someone will need to show me where it is. There seems to be argument about procedural matters and so on.

“You don’t need a full-blown enquiry for that.

“You might need to look at your procedures – I don’t know. But that’s way down the scale from corruption and bullying.

“What they may actually need is somebody who understands the game, who knows the game and what’s coming in acting as a sort of arbiter in an informal way.

“I don’t think they’d want me but someone of that ilk I suspect could and should come in and say, ‘look guys, what we need to do is move on from this, we’ve got to get this sorted quickly’.

“You sit round the virtual table if necessary for two days solid and thrash it out.”
