Club statement

SAFC News

In response to the article in today’s Daily Record, with regard to the comments made on an unofficial fans’ forum, on behalf of everyone associated with the Club, I apologise unreservedly for any offence caused to Rangers FC and their supporters. I have spoken with Mr King this morning and, without hesitation, he intimated that he will be stepping down, with immediate effect, from all involvement at SAFC.

For his part, he has asked that the following statement be made public:

“I apologise unreservedly for remarks which I made on a Stirling Albion unofficial website in respect of Rangers FC. In so doing, I am removing myself forthwith from any further involvement with Stirling Albion FC in any capacity. I hope that both clubs will now be able to move forward unbesmirched by my actions and I wish them well for the future.

“I will be making no further comment.”

I would wish to assure Rangers FC and their fans that nothing apart from the hand of friendship will be extended to them at Forthbank Stadium on 6 October, and indeed at any time.

We have a very close and healthy relationship with Rangers that has been built up over many years and I fervently hope that this isolated (unacceptable) incident will not serve to impact detrimentally on this.

We have the utmost respect for the Club and their supporters and I have been particularly impressed by the manner in which Charles Green, his associates, and, perhaps most significantly, their fans have handled themselves during what has been an extremely difficult period in their proud Club’s history.
