SPL CLUBS MUST DO THE RIGHT THING by James' Trainers

As the chairmen of the SPL clubs file into Hampden tomorrow a stark choice awaits them. Do or die.

They have been given a pointer by Charles Green who knows that a top division without a strong, vibrant Rangers will see the Scottish game wither and die like a flower denied light or water. It simply cannot be allowed to happen.

Green has made the ultimate sacrifice by offering a range of compromises but until tomorrow he does not know if this will see those with the future of the game in their hands see sense.

Perhaps they will as a no vote for Rangers will see a tidal wave sweep over the entire country and destroy all their stadiums, maybe as early as this weekend.

This cannot be allowed to happen as what we previously knew as football in this country will be extinguished and we will be plunged into eternal darkness and torment. Famine and plagues will follow but this can be avoided tomorrow if these men will only do the right thing and vote yes.

Green has done the honourable thing and offered many incentives including making an apology in public but you get the feeling those with agendas who will remain unnamed, namely Peter Lawwell, would see him in stocks down London Road for evermore and this is sad.

There is no more Green can do except watch on at our national stadium tomorrow as decisions which could fracture our country are made in his presence. This amiable Yorkshireman will feel as helpless as the rest of us as boxes are ticked or crossed.

Ask yourselves this question and then think once more. Have Rangers, with the retention of Kirk Broadfoot in their squad, not been punished enough already?

The SPL clubs have it in their hands to become men of legend tomorrow by admitting Rangers to their top table. They must offer to break bread with Green or the world as we know it will end.
