Charles Green: 'I was driven out of Rangers'

Former Rangers chief executive Charles Green claims that he was forced to leave the Scottish giants.

Former Rangers chief executive Charles Green has claimed that he was "driven out" of the club.

The 60-year-old businessman led a consortium that bought the Glasgow-based outfit for £5.5m from administrators Duff & Phelps on June 14, 2012.

However, Green stepped down in April 2013 following criticisms from the Rangers supporters, and his return to the Scottish League Two side in August as a consultant lasted less than three weeks.

"When I joined Rangers, I was the only employee, the only director and the only investor," he told Sky Sports News. "I was going to have the same salary as [coach] Ally McCoist, but [former chairman] Malcolm Murray said that was wrong and halved it. For the work I did at Rangers, I should have had double.

"Secondly, I didn't want the severance pay. I would have stayed at Rangers but was driven out of that club. It's a matter of public record what I took from the club when I left. It is in the accounts. My salary was £360,000 a year, but I didn't take 12 months' notice.

"I agreed I would take less money because I didn't want to penalise the club, but I would have happily carried on at Rangers. The bonus was a bonus which was in my contract, and I was entitled to that."

Rangers are currently 24 points clear at the top of the top of the league table.
