Rangers chief executive Charles Green has demanded a ‘clear and unambiguous’ apology from the BBC after the broadcaster showed a tasteless sequence of manager Ally McCoist falling from an office window at Ibrox.
The sequence shown at the start of the BBC’s League Cup match against Motherwell showed McCoist falling out of an office window at Ibrox and smashing a club crest. It’s the kind of thing you might expect to find on a Celtic fan forum but certainly not on the BBC.
The BBC have clearly got an agenda against McCoist and Rangers. They have in the past stitched McCoist up and edit his interviews. They have also shown biased documentaries regarding Rangers and the alleged EBTs. Charles Green is now quite rightly demanding an apology from them, but as yet it has not been forthcoming.
Charles Green said: “It is deeply regrettable that the BBC has failed to understand the strength of feeling within the Club, and indeed among our supporters, on the Mad Men/Ally McCoist issue that has dominated the front pages of today`s newspapers. The public response issued to the media from the BBC yesterday was clearly inadequate in attempting to resolve the issue and the response today from BBC Scotland failed to address appropriately the grave offence that has been taken over the sequence.’
