Charles Green has finally met up with former Rangers owner Sir David Murray to discuss working together in the future to the benefit of the new club. Murray, who sold Rangers to Craig Whyte 13 months before the club was liquidated, put in place the controversial Employee Benefit Trusts (EBT) tax scheme that is the subject of both a tribunal and SPL inquiry. Rangers chief executive Green, who leads the consortium that bought the assets and business of the liquidated club and re-launched them as a new company, said that Murray had agreed to help him deal with any EBT scheme fallout . Green said: "I met Sir David for the first time yesterday. Indeed I hadn't even spoken with him before. We had a good chat and we talked about a number of subjects. Sir David is really keen to help the club. I welcome that and I appreciate the time we spent together. He has some clear views in terms of EBTs and there is no-one knows better than Sir David about that and he is prepared to do whatever is required to set the record straight." Murray has also agreed to sell Edmiston House, a three-storey building behind the Copland Road stand, to the club. In the past Murray used it to base one of his companies and at one time the building housed the ticket office and a social club. Records show the building was bought for more than £1.1million in 2002. Green said: "From a tangible point of view one of the things we went to discuss was trying to acquire Edmiston House because that would be very important to my plans. I think we have agreed in principle a deal on that. So he has helped the club by coming to an acceptable deal on that and that is very much appreciated. We have some plans for the property and these will be unveiled in the future. I am looking forward to seeing him and meeting with him again because he has a wealth of knowledge of Rangers Football Club. He was very important to this club over the last 20 years. He did sell the club to Craig Whyte and that's history now. Sir David wouldn't have been the first person that made a mistake with Mr Whyte but we all have to move on. Whilst there may be some fans who are unhappy with Sir David there were lots of fans who were unhappy with Charles Green and I would like to think we have moved forward on that as well."
