It's being suggested Rangers covered up the reason for the departure of a Youth Football Coach who was sacked after an allegation of sexual abuse.

A BBC investigation claims new evidence shows Gordon Neely left the club in 1991 after a complaint but he was never reported to the police.

But an article said to be from a Rangers Newspaper shows that is not what the club said publicly at the time - and Neely's alleged victim insists a police report was never made.

He is calling for an apology from the football club.
