Strathclyde Police were Rangers first creditor to ask for a payment guarantee from Rangers’ newly appointed administrator, saying, “Strathclyde Police is a public body and has a duty to make sure public resources are used appropriately. We are seeking an urgent meeting with the administrators to ensure that any payment for policing costs at future Rangers games is guaranteed.
“Until we have such a guarantee we would not be in a position to commit public resources to policing an event unless we had a reassurance that our costs would be met.”
Before the administrator is able to allow the scheduled game against Kilmarnock on Saturday to proceed he would need to guarantee payments for all services employed and goods used, casting considerable doubt on the game proceeding. The administrator is liable for any expenses he incurs from now which cannot be paid by the club.
Funds will need to be found for turnstile and security staff, while footballers may be asked to play for free.

HMRC does not trust RFC and with good reason.
They do not trust RFC’s appointed administrator, with good reason.
The polis don’t trust RFC, with good reason.
HMFC don’t trust RFC, with good reason.

Independence of the Administrator must be in question. HMRC backed off today, but for how long?
I reckon Whyte’s days in Scotland are numbered. Any utterance whatsoever from him from now on and there will be cries of de facto adminstrator from HMRC, possibly among others, civil law cases will soon be criminal. He will not be able to help himself as Murray and others line up to lay the blame at him. How could have have said yesterday that season tickets this year and next would be honoured? He is way too close to the administrator. Somebody posted earlier and outstanding comment – HMRC will be watching like two hawks on speed.
Hearts next installment for Wallace (300k) is due next month. This kills their cahsflow too. Contagion. First victims: The wee huns.
Dunfermline owed £90,000 from the weekend. Yorkston, GIRUY.
DUFC owed similar sum from cup tie last week. They are absolutely raging.
And there’s a myriad of Celtic fans ready to analyse, scrutinise and investigate every single move.
To quote Neil Lennon, “This is just the beginning!”

“now we know what RC in HMRC stands for”

And by the same token, “Duff and Phelps” is made up of the following:
SPL, Hun, FF.
Touche!
Another £9 million tax bill Craig Whyte gets my vote for Executive of the year. What a memorable Valentines Day it has been and to top it off I got 16 Valentines Day cards today, I was left breathless! That Clinton Card’s Security Guard gave me a hell of a chase.
Rankers make their 1st new signing, player of the tournament at Africa Cup of Nations…Amin Admin.
A warning for all fans at Easter Road on Saturday. The following words: administration, liquidation and bust are now deemed to be sectarian.
I was confident of the league b4 another ‘penalty’ for them. But now I know for sure…
Glasgow Celtic champions!!
Win it at ibrox!
Then bring home the treble!!
Evening bhoys
Can someone get on talksport and sort the 2 no marks out. Giving it big licks that some one in Scotland be it the SFA or SPL save R*ngers
Nearly crashed on the way home
Hail hail
Anybody think Murray has Whyte as a front. Paying him a massive sum to take the fall, then re appear?
Tiocfaidh ár lá – Is é ár Lá anseo OUR DAY IS HERE.
This is dream come true; financial ruin & humiliation,criminal proceedings in the wind,demise of despised opponents,pundits & commentators eating their words with humble pie as extra,totally confused manager,ex ‘players’ reduced to incoherency,’fans’ incandescent with rage.
All this & still the diseased bigots take time to make violent sectarian comments on their websites,blogs,fakebook & twatter. Pathetic scum,rising to the surface…as usual.

Rangers’ ‘Insolvenz’ has made the German TV news. They described the club as ‘Traditionsreich’ (rich in tradition) which is something of a euphemism.
Roses are Red,Violets are Blue,Rangers were in administration at quarter to 2
A historic day indeed CQNers. Neil must stay focused, eyes on the prize. Win the league but win it well. He has achieved great things this season and turned around a huge points deficit. We do not want his successes soured by finishing less than the existing gap ahead of the second placed team, whoever that may be!
So now we have Big Bill, Medium Bill, Little Bill therefore how much is Total Bill ?
I hate to throw a spanner in the works re: winning the league at Ibrokes, but if we do there’s a chance we might have to do so behind closed doors.
The cost of policing yer average Killie game at Ibrokes is around £25k to the Foe Malign.
I’m told that for Celtic games the cost rises to around £250,000.
Just sayin’ …
From Tom English interview with Craig Whyte:
Q: There is also talk, on top of everything else, of £5m owed in VAT. Are you sitting on a Mount Everest of debt?
A: There’s a lot of media hostility towards myself and Rangers. It irks me sometimes. The VAT thing is rubbish.
From today’s Duff and Phelps statement: £9m was unpaid in tax since last May.
You see? £4m out? You guys have no idea!
100% behind Craig Whyte.

This is incredible. Watching SSN. Scotland looks ridiculous to the rest of the world. Why didnt the SFA or SPL do something? Why didnt the Press report the truth? Etc… etc.. Rangers are finished. The Establishment will dump them. They are all running for cover.
Im on ipad but pretty sure i heard financial guy on sky there saying he has word from up here and the city that there is serious parties interested now that they are in administration? Surely not with a huge potential tax bill about to be delivered?
