Rangers are still awaiting a response from the Scottish FA over the decision not to award the Ibrox side in the League Cup final, says new CEO Patrick Stewart.
Rangers were aggrieved to not be given a spot-kick when Celtic defender Liam Scales tugged the shirt of Vaclav Cerny near the edge of the box as the match was poised at 3-3 in extra time.
A free-kick was instead awarded, with Scales booked for the challenge, before Celtic went on to win on penalties.
“The manner which we lost was hard to take, and as I think people will know, I have spoken with the SFA to ask for an explanation about the non-awarding of a penalty in extra time, so I will wait to hear what the SFA have to say about that,” Stewart told Rangers TV.
Stewart officially began work on Monday, with Rangers having announced the appointed of Fraser Thornton as appointment as chairman at the weekend.
“In terms of how the roles differ, Fraser is a non-executive chairman and I am an executive CEO. What that means, is day to day I will be in the club, running the club, looking after operational matters, whereas Fraser is non-exec, where he is one step removed,” Stewart added.
“Clearly, whatever I am doing day to day, I have to operate in a framework which is agreed with the board and with Fraser, and I am accountable to the board and to Fraser.
“But day to day it will be me who is coming into Ibrox, going to Auchenhowie and helping drive the club forward.”
