Bomber hits out at Green

Former Rangers hero John Brown is worried that Rangers could go bust again, and blames Charles Green for much of the in-fighting which threatens to tear the club apart.

The Dundee manager also expressed anger at Green’s comments regarding Ally McCoist. Bomber said: “Green’s comments were a disgrace. If my own directors had said that about me, I would have taken every one of them by the throat. You can have that in a private room but not in public.” (Scotsman)
