'Don’t help Rangers' Ex-SFA chief reveals begging phonecall from top chairman

Former SFA president George Peat has revealed he received a phonecall from a prominent club chairman begging him not to help Rangers "in any way".

Rangers played five games over 11 days that season and Scottish football’s authorities decided to help.

In an interview with the BBC , Peat said: "One thing disappointed me from my time there.

"I remember Rangers got to the UEFA Cup Final in Manchester and I received a phonecall from a prominent chairman of a club requesting me not to help Rangers in any way.

"It just so happened I had already had a meeting with Lex Gold of the SPL. We were willing to extend the season because of the fixture pile-up Rangers had.

"And I was most disappointed to have got back to the office and receive this call. He asked me not to help them in any way.

"That really stuck in my throat. I just said 'no', I’m not doing it.

"They asked me not to and I refused. I’d rather not name the club."


It’s awright, we know who it was 👍 What a sad state of affairs that Scottish football suffered as a result of Celtic’s animosity, jealousy and bitterness to refuse to extend a hand to help another Scottish club that would have benefited all of Scottish football in Europe.

I never mentioned Strachan or anything. I said your chairman, a man openly despised by his own support because of his political career

cut throat businessmen who would have taken the decision out of the manager's hands.

aye, like I said I am not bringing it up to trigger people, I am saying it that it wasn't beyond the realms of possibility

celtic game got called off because one player was pals with him yet Dundee utd players who witnessed it were told they had to play

again, looking back at that scenario, you honestly don't think pressure could have been applied for any motive outwith the reasons put forward?

did you honestly think Smith was gonna come out and slaughter the decision? of course he wasn't

as per though, every negative opinion with regards to Rangers is allowed to be discussed freely with no measure of restraint but as soon as someone suggests an ulterior motive or action from celtic everyone gets all precious

I think Rangers have themselves to blame more for losing the league in 08 than the season not being extended further but that's just my opinion.

I am also of the believe that the Dr had the chutzpah to get the game in January called off

So John Reid told Strachan he was calling the rangers game off because we were missing Aiden McGeady.

Away ye go ya wetwipe.

As a matter of interest NNH if it comes down to the difference between 3 days and 8 days then what would happen if someone died 5 days before?

Should the fact that TB was a legendary player, manager and coach with an association spreading decades not have came before a couple of days?

Should the fact that he was a current employer not come before a couple of days?

I’m not sure it would give the family any solace to know that if he had held on a couple of days that a match would have been postponed in his honour
