Rangers begin proceedings against SFA

25 May 2012 15:47

Rangers have taken their battle against a 12-month transfer embargo to the law courts.

Administrators Duff and Phelps announced that legal proceedings had begun against the Scottish Football Association in the Court of Session in Edinburgh.

"The club started proceedings at the Court of Session today in an attempt to challenge the imposition by an SFA judicial panel of a player signing embargo," joint-administrator Paul Clark said in a statement.

"The process will continue at the court on Tuesday and it is the club's position that the judicial panel did not have the powers to impose such a sanction.

"The club and the administrators are grateful for the support of the Rangers Fighting Fund on this matter."
