KING’S DECREE

ON EVIDENCE OF WRONGDOING AT IBROX OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS.

‘If anyone behaved in a manner that was criminally liable or civilly liable, then we will deal with that. It’s important for the fans that we find out what went on.’

ON THE SPORTS DIRECT DEAL

‘I’ve been reliably told that we won’t find anything untoward when we look at the Mike Ashley contracts.’

ON PROMOTION THIS SEASON

‘It is challenging and it might not happen. ‘We hope that we can get good attendances back to give the team a pick-up for the rest of the season.’

ON THE FIT AND PROPER PERSON TEST

‘Rangers is a club with traditional values. It’s had generational support — father to son. ‘Recent events have been the exact opposite to the values I associate with my club.’ ‘I wouldn’t have started this if I didn’t think I was fit and proper. ‘The only concerns were from the other side to deflect away from their own failings.’
