Rangers midfielder Ian Black has been accused of betting against his own club on three occasions by the Scottish Football Association.

The former Inverness CT and Hearts man is accused of putting money on his team to not win matches between March 4, 2006 and July 28, 2013.

Black is also accused of betting on a further ten games in which the club he was playing for were involved in, as well as betting on a further 147 games not involving his team.

It is not known which specific fixtures he is accused of placing bets on which involved the clubs he was registered with.

The player will be asked to attend a hearing at Hampden on Thursday, September 12. He has until Monday, August 26 to provide evidence to the governing body.

Footballers registered in Scotland are prohibited by the Scottish FA from betting on any football match.

If found guilty, players can be fined from £500 to £1,000,000 and can be either suspended or expelled from playing professional football.

They are also not allowed to "behave in a manner, during or in connection with a match in which the party has participated or has any influence, either direct or indirect, which could give rise to an event in which they or any third party benefits financially through betting".

The Scottish FA however have made clear there is "no evidence" to suggest Black has breached the second rule.

I would imagine his present club might try to get him 'oot the door sharpish' thus avoiding any negative publicity which could end up damaging the good name of the club, whoever they are. :roll:  Of course I should have added - saving themselves a wage and termination of contract payoff.

Feeding their own to the lions? Nice angle and a very devious mind to work it out

Can't imagine the SFA coming down hard on anybody from such a fine law abiding club.

Obviously there is less money to be made in the painting and decorating business that was at first thought, hence a little flutter on the side.

Either that, or he's as useless at painting and decorating as he is at football.

Am I the only person astounded at this statement from a  'follow follow (no matter how many times we have lied to you and got the club in the shit yet got you all to believe it is everybody elses fault)' Sevco fan!!

 

 

Edward, you above the rest should take a step back and have a wee look.

 

football player puts a bet on the football, who,d have thunk it eh?

 

As Kevin Kyle states today, this could open up a whole big can of worms. Will posters still be saying " oh goody" when its Perth players that are caught?

 

Niave in the extreme.

 

You are not a daftie like some of these other ones Edward, do not be a sheep just to conform with these daftes, think for yourself, it wont hurt.

The issue around Ian Black has nothing to do with what I said.....it's your own idea of superiority that is getting annoying.

 

Footballers are notorious gamblers, always have been...too much time on their hands

So you agree it would be very niave to gloat and say things like " oh goody" when there could be shite on your very own doorstep?
