Imran Ahmad on Scotland's problems

quote:

---

Ahmad, the club's former commercial director, left Rangers in controversial circumstances in 2013 and later reached an out-of-court settlement with the club.

...

"My legal team and I have grave concerns about a defendant in this case being able to receive a fair trial anywhere in Scotland let alone Glasgow.

...

Mr Ahmad said that he had recently "received death threats by phone and online".

He described Rangers fans as "a tribe", adding: "What the rest of the world will never understand unless they experience it first hand is that Rangers Football Club is a religion, in itself, built on centuries of religious bigotry."

The former director also accused Police Scotland of being "an establishment institution which itself is deeply rooted and immersed in Rangers Football Club's history for well over 140 years".

Mr Ahmad said: "I firmly believe Police Scotland have their own agenda and are deeply emotionally connected to Rangers Football Club. In my view Police Scotland have a clear conflict of interest."
