Fans of Rangers have been reacting to a post on Twitter, which relays a statement made by an SPFL spokesman after Rangers submitted their ‘dossier’ of evidence of corruption, bullying and coercion within the SPFL.
According to recent reports in the Daily Record, after an initial review of the 200-page ‘dossier’ of evidence that Rangers submitted to all other 41 member clubs of the SPFL, a spokesman from the governing body stated they have “…failed to identify a single shred of evidence to support Rangers’ vociferous claims of corruption, bullying and coercion by SPFL staff.”
In reaction to the statement, which was relayed on Twitter by Superscoreboard, fans of Rangers have flocked to have their say on the matter, with many claiming that the SPFL has not looked over Rangers’ evidence thoroughly enough.
Do you think the SPFL is a corrupt organisation?
Yes
No

Interesting a 200 page document NOT sent to the SPFLIARS can be accessed quickly but an email from one club can’t. Farcical stuff.

They can’t organise a vote but magically digested and read a 200+ plus page report

A 200 page dossier, read and understood, and conclusions drawn in 90 minutes.
That’s good going.

What do we think?
While it appears that many Rangers fans are arguing that the reason why the SPFL has been unable to identify any evidence of wrongdoing is because of the fact that they have not looked over the ‘dossier’ thoroughly enough, it would seem as if this argument will have a very short period of holding any weight.
To expand on this point, if it transpires that the other 41 SPFL member clubs return their thoughts on Rangers’ ‘dossier’ of evidence and agree with the SPFL that there is indeed no evidence of wrongdoing, then it would appear to render the argument of thoroughness as worthless.
However, if some clubs were in agreement with Rangers, then perhaps the argument is valid as a point. For now, though, we will just have to wait and see.
