Dundee United chairman Stephen Thompson has made a plea for the SPL clubs to be given time and room to decide how best to deal with the Rangers newco crisis.
Thompson confirmed he will be sounding out the Tannadice support next week ahead of the as yet unscheduled vote on whether or not to allow the SPL share to be transferred to Charles Green’s new company.
He expressed the hope that the representatives of all top-flight teams will be given breathing space to consider what is surely the greatest predicament to have ever faced the Scottish game.
Thompson said: ”Whilst we now have greater clarity on the current situation at Rangers, we are at a major crossroads for Scottish football and, significantly, the future of many clubs.
”It is appropriate that the SPL shareholders and the individual boards are allowed time to reflect and privately discuss this matter in the best interests of Scottish football and each SPL member club.
”Before making any decisions, Dundee United will continue our dialogue with our supporters’ representative groups and listen to our customers’ views.
”The club will be making no further statements regarding the current situation at Rangers until the aforementioned discussions have taken place.”
