Ugly scenes around former Rangers owner
Green mobbed by angry crowd after court appearance
Rangers supporters turned on former Rangers owner Charles Green after he appeared in court to face charges over alleged fraud in connection with the sale of the club’s assets.
A photographer fell to the ground under a crowd of protestors as Mr Green emerged from Glasgow Sheriff Court surrounded by police and media representatives.
He refused to comment and looked shocked as he was ushered into a waiting vehicle.
Mr Green, 62, bought the assets of the club after it plunged into administration three years ago. Today he was bailed by sheriffs to appear at a later date.
Previous Rangers owner Craig Whyte, 44, and David Whitehouse, 50, from administrators Duff and Phelps were also due in court.
Mr Whitehouse’s co-administrator, Paul Clark, 51, has also been arrested as part of the investigation by Police Scotland.
Mr Green was interviewed by police in Livingston yesterday.
