Charles Green: 'We just want to get back playing football'

Following today's decision by the SPL to have Rangers playing in the Scottish 3rd Division from next season, Rangers Chief Executive Charles Green said:

We are grateful to be accepted as members of the SFL and accept their decision to vote us into Division 3.

It is a matter of regret for all of us involved with Rangers that the issues surrounding the Club resulted in the SFL and its members being placed in a very difficult position not of their own making.

From the outset, we made clear we would play where we were told to play and we just want to get back to playing football.

This decision maintains the sporting integrity that clubs and fans across Scotland have been calling for but it also impacts massively on Scottish football as a whole and only time will tell what the consequences will be.
