Ogilvie assumed payments were ok

Cardiff owner Vincent Tan says there is no chance of the club changing their name to the Cardiff Dragons.
The Malaysian billionaire has already made the controversial decision to change the club's colours from blue to red and has also installed a new crest.
And, with Cardiff eight points clear at the top of the Championship, it has been suggested that promotion to the top flight might spark further rebranding.
Asked in a BBC programme whether a name change to Cardiff Dragons was possible, Tan said: "When we know the final result of this season, then we will think what's the best way to brand it.
"When we get there we'll make a decision and, when we make a decision, we will convey it to everyone."
However, the prospect of a possible name change caused anger among Cardiff fans and Tan has now issued a statement saying it is not a possibility after all.
"I can assure all supporters that we will not be changing our name from Cardiff City Football Club, a club I am very proud to be a part of," he said.
"Our name is our identity and remains at our core. I would not want any of our supporters to be concerned that this change would be made, hoping that this personal commitment from myself removes any fears.
"I believe the colour change is positive and will bring good tidings to Cardiff City Football Club. At this point of time, no decision has been made to change the club crest for the next season.
"For the present day, all I would ask is that we all join together, continuing your excellent support at what is a critical juncture in our season.
"Our collective aim is to back (manager) Malky Mackay and his team as they work hard to bring us all success. Working together we can achieve great things in the name of Cardiff City Football Club."
Suarez has scored 25 goals this season, 18 of which have come in the league, to put him one behind of Manchester United's Robin van Persie and three ahead of Tottenham's Gareth Bale - fellow contenders for this season's star man award.
The Uruguay forward is two away from becoming the first Liverpool player to score 20 league goals in a campaign since Fernando Torres five seasons ago.
Suarez will start his 90th match for the Reds against Wigan on Saturday and Rodgers believes the player's recent record compares to the best.
In his first 45 games Suarez managed just 16 goals, but has scored 30 in his last 44 appearances, which debunks the claim the striker is not prolific enough.
Asked who he would pick as player of the year, Rodgers, like Reds midfielder Lucas Leiva, was quick to name Suarez.
"I couldn't look much further than Luis Suarez," he said.
"He has been phenomenal - that is not just an opinion as his manager.
"If I look across the board this is a guy who had to play alone up front because he was the only striker we had for nearly six months and never missed a day's training and played every minute of every game.
"His performances have spoken for themselves. There's many great players in this league but for me he has been absolutely outstanding."
The goalscoring burden on Suarez has been eased by last month's ?12million signing of Sturridge, who should he score at the weekend will reach five Premier League goals in six matches.
Rodgers thinks the strike duo's partnership, which has blossomed incredibly quickly, will make a difference to Liverpool in the final three months of the campaign.
"They are two top players but they have got different qualities and different strengths," he added.
"You have seen Luis' all season - his cleverness and his movement and his intensity in his game.
"When I came in everyone was talking about his finishing, how many chances he missed and whatnot but you look at his conversion rate this year, his chances and the goals he has put away, he has been brilliant.
"He is a terrific focal point for the team.
"Daniel is a different type. He is hungry for goals, wants to play on the shoulder and his movement is really good.
"People will associate him with pace and power and running ability and shooing ability but when both of them play in and around each other, they find space really well.
"With Daniel, you have got that possibility to play in behind and penetrate and go over the top and in between and when he is away he is very hard to catch because he is so fast.
"They are a real potent threat so that partnership and that cohesion is growing all the time and it is pleasing to see."
With the likes of Chelsea faltering and Arsenal and Everton failing to put down a definitive marker for the final Champions League qualification place, there is still an outside possibility a late run could lift the Reds into contention.
Rodgers, however, knows the pitfalls of talking up a top-four challenge.
"We have got 11 games to go and our only focus is on ourselves - we just look at our next game," he said.
"Especially how the season has gone for us: we have been brilliant at times and inconsistent at others.
"If we can come up with that consistency over these closing months it will provide a springboard for next season.
"Finish this season as strong as we possibly can, as high as we can, and then we'll be in a much better place come the summer to really push on."
Scottish Football Association president Ogilvie last year stepped out of all decisions regarding the financial collapse of Rangers after admitting receiving ?95,000 from the club's Employee Benefit Trust scheme during his spell as company secretary at Ibrox.
Ogilvie was called as a witness during the Scottish Premier League-appointed commission's hearing, which today resulted in a ?250,000 fine for liquidation-hit oldco Rangers after they were found guilty of breaching rules over the disclosure of payments from 2000 to 2011.
The commission's report noted that Ogilvie, who was employed by Rangers from 1978 until 2005, was company secretary and dealt with aspects of football administration at Ibrox until late 2002 or early 2003, although former chairman Sir David Murray took the lead in negotiating player contracts.
The report noted that Ogilvie, who was also an executive director, learnt of the existence of the remuneration trust in 2001-02 when he received a payment, which he understood was non-contractual, but did not know any details of it.
He then learned similar payments were being made to players for football matters but had no involvement in the management of the contributions.
Ogilvie was reported as saying in his evidence: "I assumed that all contributions to the trust were being made legally, and that any relevant football regulations were being complied with.
"I do not recall contributions to the trust being discussed in any detail, if at all, at board meetings. In any event, board meetings had become less and less frequent by my later years at Rangers."
He also said: "Nothing to do with the contributions being made to the trust fell within the scope of my remit at Rangers."
But the commission added a footnote to Ogilvie's evidence pointing out his part in the collective responsibility.
They said: "However it should be noted that Mr Ogilvie was a member of the board of directors who approved the statutory accounts of Oldco which disclosed very substantial payments made under the EBT arrangements."
The SFA, who would hear any potential appeal, has made no comment on the report.
