SPFL set for emergency Rangers dossier meeting as Stewart Robertson faces document grilling

The SPFL board has convened an emergency summit for Thursday afternoon at which they will discuss the contents of Rangers’ dossier.

A 200-page legal document was released today by the Ibrox club outlining their concerns over SPFL governance, which the league body has dismissed.

It's anticipated Rangers managing director Stewart Robertson will be part of the conference call that is due to begin at 2pm.

The SPFL released a statement suggesting that early examination of the document has yielded nothing that would suggest the league body should consider removing either chief executive Neil Doncaster or lawyer Rod McKenzie.

It read: “It is now a month since Rangers accused the SPFL of bullying and corruption relating to the Dundee FC return.  

“At last, Rangers have issued their ‘dossier’ and we will now take time to review it, before responding to all 42 clubs.  

“Since Rangers publicly demanded the suspension of the SPFL’s chief executive and legal counsel, everyone in Scottish football has waited patiently for them to present their case.  

“However, an initial examination of their ‘dossier’ has failed to identify a single shred of evidence to support Rangers’ vociferous claims of corruption, bullying and coercion by SPFL staff.

“If Rangers have any good reason for Neil Doncaster and Rod McKenzie to be suspended, we have yet to see it.”
