“I brought Charles Green in to buy Rangers” screams the BBC headline ahead of this evening’s interview by Chris McLaughlin of the Last King of Rangers, Our Hero, Craig Whyte. Whyte has retained private contact with a couple of journalists but he has previously declined earnest requests to go on the record given the level of investigation he is under. The wrong word could be costly.
But here it is, “I brought Charles Green in to buy Rangers”. An unequivocal assertion.
The interview will be broadcast on Reporting Scotland and Newsnight Scotland this evening and has been trailed by every outlet in the land (first trailed by Phil Mac Giolla Bhain last night). There appears to be genuine surprise in many news outlets. CQN’ers will be busy checking this this is, in fact, news, not a rehash of an earlier established fact (it is genuine news).
It has been a few months since Our Hero was The Only Show in Town but he can still put on a captivating performance.
Charles Green has yet to respond but he will. He has no choice. He could categorically deny the claim, citing Whyte’s court-established reliability, but to do that he’ll have to calculate that corroborating material will not emerge. The wrong word now could torpedo hopes of a successful share issue next month
A bombastic statement from well-polished PR people is what’s needed. I hope we’re not disappointed.
“I brought Charles Green in to buy Rangers”. Kaboom!

BBC Sportsound on now- Full Craigy Bhoy interview on after 7pm
Vanessa on STV news
Go girl!
Nice to see Mikael Lustig popping up with a goal for Sweden (v Germany) last night. From what I’ve read he could have had another too!
I can imagine this quite funny even if you can’t speak swedish!http://m.youtube.com/#/user/zlatanist10

BBC exclusive…
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
Meanwhile over at Rangers Media, the sound of pennies dropping………..

I’ve found myself trusting him less over the last few weeks.
Too many memorable quotes without any real action following…
Back from a wee golfing jaunt to Gleddoch and Mar Hall wi my mate. Met up wi TaggsyBhoy and BlantyreKev at Mar Hall and well impressed (no wi them!!) – it is a great track.
Re the BBC article, I like the following –
After HMRC rejected proposals for a creditors agreement that would have allowed the old club to continue , administrators Duff and Phelps negotiated a sale of assets to a consortium led by Mr Green for £5.5m.
He has since formed a new club, now playing in the Scottish Football League Third Division.
Plain as the nose on my face . . . . . .

STV retain the party line.
Nothing to report move along Timmy.
Oh wait a minute Charles green interview tonight.
Lol couldny make this up!
No way.
@TamPayne2: @scotzine Due to pressure from Sevco fans I am banned from Twitter. I have appealed it. This is my new account. (could u help with RT mate)
Exclusive interview with Charlie Green tonight at 10.30pm Scotland Tonight,,,,very last snippet from STV sport could be the most interesting hmmmm
who to believe, Green or White?
I believe that Glasgow certainly is Green and White…
Oh my, it just keeps going on and on and on. While part of me feels ‘oh ffs, I’m so bored with this’ another part delights in knowing how der hun has taken another boot in the onion bag.
But be prepared for the back lash at us again, with every kick in the nads their fans take, they turn their hatred on us. I’m happy to be living abroad, I feel safer knowing that I’m away from those mad men just waiting to lash out.
A link to sportsound that will work outside the UK would be very much appreciated. Cheers
Stay safe
Just read philmacs latest.
He highlights the same point as a post on here earlier,maybe tltb or mm.
Would look back but going to watch agent craigy.hh
Bbc for this whyte exclusive, and if big Judith is doing the weather that’s my night made.
Mad Craig with the big jorry eyes headlines Reporting Scotland lol!
I have to confess, I have to take what our hero says with a pinch of salt but just love the wee snippet, I perhaps was not as open as I could have been…:)
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
Our hero Craigy on bbc1
Big Daisy Mcpherson .
Sitting in his house with his
Orange walls and blue cushions.
Telling us all that Scottish football
is going through a bad time,
Rangers not in the top league,
and that is having an affect
on Scotland producing players ,
He should stick to bad terms..
Happy Celticing
Duff & Phelps conflicted.
I brought Charles Green to the table
I was driving the train that crashed
I wasn’t as open as I could have been
Murray was not duped………………………Craigy Bhoy…..some man
The denials already being issued.
What a bunch of scumbags
Duff & Phelps response …….plenty of denials but nothing about suing him for his comments……therefore maybe craig has got the facts
……..and still there are some who think that we have a future in Scottish football !
It is just not worth the hassle any more and to hang around, is to be complicit and to condone it.
It won’t change, because they don’t want it to change.
smithers advice to departing manager, ‘do what I did, resign to look after family, before you get sacked’ :oD)))))
@PeterAdamSmith: A full interview with Charles Green on #scotnight at 10.30pm on STV tonight. Ranging from shares, Craig Whyte, to investors & exaggerations.

Love it. On train heading north at mo. have sky+ it.
Smithers…brilliant
Che-Judith was looking resplendent yesterday, in a classy white dress with knee high black boots.
Craigy’s back and new series of Walking Dead starts on Friday. Coincidence.
Re Duffers conflict. Know a few solicitors that deal/have dealt with them in London. Neither Tims or Sevconians. No axe to grind. They all say they are dead in the water.
Keep safe craigy bhoy.
Maybe best you cross the water and keep your head down for a while.
I’m sure you won’t need to put a hand in your pocket after outing Murray.hail hail
Craigy Bhoy is most welcome back,but what are his motives? To stiff Green over the fast buck he was after? Possibly to scupper the whole deal and to assist BDO ?
Sevco just released a statement that £17 million pledged to the shares issue.
Let me be the first to congratulate my fellow Tims for conducting what must be the biggest p1ss take ever. lol!
ASonOfDan-From punishments to consequences,from pledges to purchases,they are an omnishambles of confusion,lies and bigotry.
You NEED to read Green on the latest Sevco article. He and Ally “were chatted up by fund managers eager to invest” lol!
Teuchter,
Just saw Mags, told her one of our own died on Friday. Tommy Finnigan.
Still in work, snyde on the radio, not a mention of craigy bhoy.
De Nile is naw a river in africa……………
Bma
£17 million?
Oh dear ill need to work out how much of that is mine, last count it was just over £100k
Wait a sec –
“direct contact was made by our consortium with Craig Whyte in the first instance ”
“I was brought to the transaction by Imran Ahmad following Duff and Phelps contacting Zeus Capital”
Both these statements are made in the same press release and appear to be contradictory. So which one is it, Charles?
A SonofDan.
They are so gullible that the share issue may very well be a success.
A67
SSB, caller on saying Levien should be pulling players from the 3rd division as they are raising their game against der Hun. Bahahahaha!
Whyte spills the beans and Green immediately appoints Imran Ahmad as Commercial Director and Craig Mather who put a million in at the start is Director of Sports Development and basically given Murray Park.
zombies catching on yet?
