Charles Green recommends that the Rangers board move the club out of the Scottish leagues if proposed changes to the pyramid are implemented.

Rangers chief executive Charles Green has urged the club's board to find an escape route out of Scottish football if proposed reconstruction plans are pushed through.

If the new plans are implemented, Third Division side Rangers will not be promoted, even if they go on to win the title this season.

With that in mind, Green has admitted that he doesn't see any point in the club finishing the current campaign.

"If this does happen what is the point of us finishing the season? Why should we send players out to get broken noses – like Ross Perry last week – or have players getting surgery when no-one can get promoted and no-one can get relegated," he told Rangers TV. "We might as well have a winter break now til next August. I can't see any point in carrying on with meaningless matches.

"In what league do you win a division and then end up playing the same teams again the following season? There is no meaning to it, in reality.

"I haven't read anything other than what is in the press and if that is what we have sat here eagerly awaiting to transform Scottish football, my advice to the board of Rangers is the quicker we can leave Scottish football the better. I can't see anything that is going to transform the finances, the status or the excitement."

Should Rangers join the English game, they may have to start out in the Blue Square Bet Premier Division.
