There’s something undignified at the shenanigans at Ibrox right now. Despite being under no pressure to pay the disputed tax demand, Rangers are tarting around their top player in a desperate attempt to raise money.
After the Plus Stock Exchange suspended dealing in their shares the club stated it would produce overdue accounts for season 2010-11 around the end of this month, which coincides with the end of the transfer window. Any auditor needs to be in a position to state that the company has enough cash to be considered a going concern before he would be in a position to sign-off the accounts. Rangers are now in a desperate bid for cash as their self-imposed (late) date to provide shareholders with statutory information has arrived.
Claims were made that a front-loaded war-chest was made available to Ex-Rangers manager, Ally McCoist (still too early? Hmmmm) at the start of the season and it was subsequently suggested that a £9m bid was rejected for Nikica Jelavic, but now the same player is available for a fraction of that sum – available for cash, that is.
McCoist kept their season alive but as reality dawn and Neil Lennon’s Celtic turned up the heat, his challenge abated.
The trusty old media, for so long a crutch throughout Rangers rather unique history, are set to desert the White Star Line’s most famous vessel. The day draws near.

Loyal fans jimtim?
Faithful, thank you very much :-)
‘GG reporting for night duty.
Any breaking news will be added to the blog.
I suspect that Jabba the Hun is either trying to save his place in the sports room at the Daily Ranger by delivering a Pulitzer type “scoop” or is securing his future as a spinner for SDM who mysteriously reappeared in town last week.
In fact he will be reiterating some of the articles from the RTC blog. If you’re not familiar with it, neither is Keevins. At least that was his stance a few 180s ago. He has more twists in him than a pretzel.
‘GG on the news desk
Well Fholks just home from work and seeing alll the hype but have no idea whats happened….PLEASE fill me IN
Ok Hoops fans .. I m off to bed.. I worry I ve insomnia then I realise.. Ha .. No way.. Tonight I will sleep easy.. Messrs Whyte , Mc Coist and Murray may find sleep a rare commodity..
Finally- my fholks always brought me up to be honest and ” shoot straight”.. I find the Celtic community since 1888 adhere to this..
Mark Twain is attributed with.. ” if in doubt, tell the truth” .. Wise words that will be echoing in hollow empty corridors around Govan..
Do I care? Not one fibre in my body cares about their plight.. To finish on another quote..
” you reap what you sow!!”
Goodnight Celtic fans world wide…
if davy moyes has done business with them tonight he should be sacked . no-one else wants the super hit man he should have waited until 22.45 tomorrow night before making them an offer they couldnt refuse .say 1.5 mil .
hail hail

Please oh please let the rumour about administration on Wednesday be true!!!!
For anybody that might feel sorry for them, just remember the crap we had to listen to and go through in the 90’s!!!
As the saying goes, let them die.
It must be hard being Craig Whyte tonight. Your wife has left you, your manager is about to. The papers are about to run a series of stories which carpet bomb your reputation. You are at the helm of a crumbling institution with asbestos in the walls, cracks in the crest and flooding in the stands as fans pish themselves with fear at the thought of what’s coming.
You have more court time schedule…d than Novak Djokovic and money dribbling out of your personal bank account faster than Stephen Hester. You have St. Johnstone flaunting Francisco Sandaza, Celtic flaunting the signing of Brozek and Pat Fenlon leaving taunting answer machine messages about somebody called The Pitbull. You have footballers drawing salaries for doing sod all, scouts drawing salaries for running their fingers down the Football Manager 2012 Free Transfer Database and Gordon Smith drawing a salary for pointing journalists in the direction of Ally McCoist and saying “ask him”, like the world’s shittiest tour guide.
You have HMRC on your case, PLUS on your back and the Samaritans on your speed dial. You have gangsters in one ear, property developers in the other and Jim Traynor trying to climb out of your arse. You are beset by problems on all sides, from irate Rangers fans to creditors wanting their money. And you have irate Rangers fans who are creditors wanting their money too.
It must be hard being Craig Whyte tonight, with the lawyers on one line sucking money and the Premiership’s top managers wife’s on the other, one by one telling you “he’s in a bath, he’ll call you later …” as if they’ve all got together and decided to stop taking your calls. It must be tough seeing the man you prized at eight million, tried to sell for nine million and now can’t get rid of for six million still wearing a jersey when he should be punted whilst you sit in Jersey, relaxing with a nice glass of Murray Vineyards White. It must be hard seeing your £1 investment value dropping faster than an elevator with the cord cut …
Craig Whyte, tonight you have my sympathy. Tonight, I feel your pain. You might be a crooked SOB, a man with less scruples than a Lib Dem cabinet minister, a man with grubbier friends than Ron Davies out on the pull and a face which makes me think your father is also your uncle and your mother also your sister and your granny also your auntie (if that makes sense, and I’m sure it doesn’t) but you’re a human being, and tonight you are suffering ….
Or maybe your not. Maybe this is all part of your plan. Maybe you’re secretly delighted and about to open the champagne … but if so you better get your arse down to Tesco quick, cause it’s running out fast … Just know that a lot of it is going to be consumed in your honour.
Craig Whyte, thank you. You are the best thing to hit Ibrox since Henrik Larsson got off the team bus for the 3-0 game.
We (and Rangers) will be in your debt forever
Just arrived in Gerrards Cross (Cross? , he canny even tackle !) after driving far Glesga. what have i missed ?
and your a hun
Sannabhoy the rumour is admin for the dark side on Wednesday!!!

Cinema?? Surely, you mean a Mega Casino complex, no???
What an amazing day. At a time when we should be talking about signings, all the talk is about the immenent demise of the dignified rowing club.
I’ll bite though, it’s just too juicy to ignore…
ho ho ho
that is all
hiya Gavil
Yeah sanna I’m new been reading the site for a while now so thought I might as well just sign up (it’s better than going for a trial at murray park!!! Lol)
People doubt me. But the same paranoid minority should realize the last two times I ventured on here was to gloat at how well things are going for us and how badly they are going for rangers, and if that bothers you mabye your a rangers man eh???? But ah do no want them to die quickly, let em be embarrassed for a bit more eh and let the funny times continue. I think Ally has done a grand job for the lodge eh? He’s ah going for the most trophies knocked out of in a single year!!!! And isn’t that Ortiz some player? Oh sorry he’s not there anymore…. And what about this Matt Mckay fella we have been hearing about. And how come “we” never signed all those great trialists (Cough Cough Swindon Reserves standard) we were linked with? You know the ones costing 2 million when “we” can’t afford 300k for Sandaza plus 1000 pounds a week wages? Hmm is “our” paper, the daily rangers, lying to us or what???? Aw diddums it hurts to be one of ra people now doesn’t it?
Lol to think they actually thought they were getting any player or that the tax case thing was all a great big Timmy conspiracy…. Aye well evidently HMRC have a conspiracy against rangers, after all they have RC in the name eh? And her maj goes to all our games doesn’t she?
Sneddoni we should get Celtic to open the gates and put it on the big screens!!! Hell I’d even pay £20 to laugh and celebrate with a full house there!

Surprised to hear that udinese are lining up samaras as a possible replacement for torje if he moves this window with Arsenal and two unnamed Italian clubs already expressing their interest in udinese young striker.
Could be a big window to recoup a large lump of transfer fees whilst slashing the wage bill.
Antifa I understand what your saying but in my mind now that we overturned the defecit in the league while they still had their best team, I want them gone. Will never forget or forgive the way we were treated by them or the msm in the days when they bought everything with money they never had. To them it’s not about football it’s just about getting 1 over us.
They are bigots to the core!
James79 , the welcome to the vip section of the madhouse.
All the lurkers are just your normal marks. The posters are the ones who , by their own volition , gain entry to the vip room and the pleasure of mixing with a bunch of self-absorbed , narcissistic , egotists .
OK , now watch , which of the regulars claim which sobriquet !
PS. In order to avoid any argument /discussion , I’ve found my hobby horse and i’m riding it .

I’ll be up at the crack of dawn here in California to check the news. Signings and gossip, what a great cocktail mix!
Cheers sanna I’ll remember that lol. Have to admit the last few hours have been a right good laugh. I’m just praying it’s true, but there’s always a doubt at the back of my mind it’s too good to be true!!
Sannabhoy-
Living in the land of self-obsessed, naricisstic egoists here in California has been great preparation for posting on here, as you describe…
SSN now saying that everton have agreed a fee por cierto
Samaras to Udine? It’s a possibility in the summer window, doubt it will happen before tomorrow night.
Personally, I was hoping jelly was going to stay at mordor for another six months in the huff draining their resources. Oh, well can’t have everything. Welcome to Paradise Pawel.
