SFA hit back at Rangers over John Brown ‘corrupt' row and ‘remind clubs of their responsibilities'

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE Scottish FA have hit back in their row with Rangers over the controversy surrounding John Brown's comments made in a match against Hibs last season. Rangers released a strongly worded statement on Thursday after the club were handed a £3,000 fine by Scottish Football's governing body after being found in breach of the rules. Sign up for the Rangers newsletter Sign up 1 16/07/16 Motherwell v Rangers. Pix by Keith Campbell. John Brown Credit: Keith Campbell - The Sun Glasgow This was after the former Gers defender branded Scottish football 'corrupt' live on the club's TV channel when a goal by Nicolas Raskin was chalked off at Easter Road. Rangers were furious and raised concerns about "clarity" and "confidence" in the system. In response the Scottish FA said in a statement: "We note Rangers' response to the determination of a recent independent Judicial Panel Tribunal. "In the interests of accuracy, we wish to address some of the misleading comments contained therein: "The sanction imposed by an independent panel was entirely in keeping with the application of the rules. "The most recent and relevant example of a similar breach, the sanction imposed on Richard Foster of Motherwell FC for comments of a similar nature in the media, attests to that. "Furthermore, to address the comments regarding 'rationale behind differing outcomes', we wish to point to the fact that investigations were undertaken in previous cases outlined and that the Compliance Officers of the time saw fit to issue a censure by way of warning letter for potential breaches deemed insufficiently serious to be progressed to a Notice of Complaint. "This system of proportionality has been adopted since the inception of the Judicial Panel Protocol in 2011. "Indeed, such discretion was exercised last season when the Compliance Officer wrote to the club to warn of the future conduct of players following matters involving Vaclav Cerny, Dujon Sterling and Mohamed Diomande. "We also note that Rangers intend to contact the association to seek clarity on the Judicial Panel Protocol and its application. "The club is, in fact, already represented on the JPP Working Group. "We have requested written reasons from the panel chair involved in the tribunal and in the interests of transparency will publish in due course. "JPP Rule 38 was introduced in response to the referee strike of 2010, when match officials campaigned for greater protection after enduring sustained personal criticism from clubs and fans. Ahead of a new season, we remind clubs of their responsibilities in this regard." More to follow....

Former Liverpool fan favourite is SACKED after suffering relegation from Belgian top flight... as club reveals they've already hired his replacement

Former Liverpool star Dirk Kuyt has been fired as manager of Belgian side Beerschot. The 44-year-old was appointed by Beerschot in December 2023 and guided the club to promotion to the Belgian Pro League in his first season. However, the club struggled in the top flight and were relegated after just five wins from 36 matches. Beerschot have now parted ways with Kuyt despite his popularity with supporters. 'The club sincerely thank Dirk Kuyt for his commitment, dedication and positive contribution,' said Beerschot in a statement. 'His energy and involvement were a source of inspiration within the team. We wish him every success in the continuation of his coaching career. 'The new head coach will be introduced later today.' Speaking last month, Kuyt admitted he was unhappy criticised the club's poor facilities 'The worst thing I found was that at one point we simply didn't have a field to train on', he told Het Laatste Nieuws. 'We couldn't train on the field during the last training session before our home match against Union Saint-Gilloise, as there was no training ground available and our main field was being rebuilt. We worked in the gym and prepared the boys with video footage.' He added: 'At one point, I started driving around Antwerp itself looking for fields to train on. I saw amateur clubs that had five or six fields, while we didn't have a single one. It was appalling. I mean what I say: I don't feel too good for anything. I'm happy to work hard and give it my all, but only in the role for which I was hired.' The Dutchman previously managed Feyenoord's youth sides and had a short-lived stint in charge of ADO Den Haag, where he was also sacked after just 16 games. As a player, Kuyt is best known in England for his time at Liverpool where he became a fan favourite. During his six seasons on Merseyside the former Holland international scored 71 goals in 285 games for the Reds and was part of their 2011-12 League Cup success - scoring in the final against Cardiff City. He departed Merseyside in 2012 and joined Fenerbahce where he spent three years before make the switch back to Feyenoord and eventually retiring in 2017. At international level, Kuyt made 104 appearances for the Netherlands, scoring 24 goals.
