Rangers have firmly denied any breach of Scottish FA rules following comments made by former defender John Brown, who labeled a refereeing decision as "corrupt" on Rangers TV. The incident occurred during the final match of Rangers' league season on May 17, where Nicolas Raskin appeared to score a goal that was controversially disallowed.

Referee Nick Walsh and his on-field officials believed the ball had been kept out by Hibernian defender Rocky Bushiri. VAR Andrew Dallas confirmed there was no camera angle proving the ball had crossed the line. Moments later, Hibernian equalized through Kieron Bowie, resulting in a 2-2 draw.

Brown's comment, "I would say it is corrupt," was immediately challenged by commentator Tom Miller. Despite the live correction, Rangers have expressed their surprise at the charge over Brown's remarks and have vowed to challenge any action they deem unfair or disproportionate.

Rangers have also highlighted that four out of five members of the SFA's Key Match Incident Panel deemed the decision incorrect, raising concerns about the SFA's selective enforcement and inconsistency. The club has called for the introduction of goalline technology to prevent such controversies in the future.

Rangers' statement emphasized their commitment to maintaining high standards but reiterated their stance against unfair or disproportionate actions. They have also pointed out multiple instances of similar or stronger remarks in Scottish football that did not result in charges or sanctions.
