For three months a charade took place, where Craig Whyte – who is and will remain owner of Rangers until they are finally ‘flushed away’, Duff and Phelps, The Blue Knight(s), Bill Miller, Charles Green, several members of the accountancy profession who should have known better, and some of the Fourth Estate, who clearly didn’t know better, all told you Rangers were likely to achieve a CVA.
As we (and several others) told you, a CVA was never, ever, going to be accepted by HMRC. A cursory glance at the HMRC web site would confirm that. Once Alex Salmond had his wings clipped, that debate was over.
The charade was a distraction. There are many other distractions available today and they will multiply in the days to come, but I reckon if you’re looking for the critical path on this one you should keep an eye on Lord Carloway. The chair of the SFA Appellate Panel is worth listening out for. Say his name in hushed tones, better still, abbreviate. Even the mention of LC will cause anxiety and distress, for some.

What happened to the Arsenal share money?
A very good morning all,
If it is true that sally has indeed ‘walked away’ it must be in protest that his brown brogues no longer had a desk to hide under!!!!!
Now to the REALLY important stuff for today
Please Please Please every Tim around the globe get the rosary beads, prayer mats, prayer wheels or whatever it is out for Ireland tonight,
we need a LOT of luck and all the good will in the world against spain!
positive thinking people

McCoist on short list for Spurs job..
I see the SKY money is rearing its head again. Why don’t we all agree that if the SPL chairmen vote to let them back in, we will immediately cancel our subscriptions, while Celtic can announce that they will not sign any new contract. The monies coming to Celtic can’t be so great.
Vmhan – Fat Sally should have cycled away on his bike!
That’s cruel.
Have you ever seen a fatty on a bike?
Gravity is not Ally’s friend. (thumbsup)
The only Rangers in Scotland is Berwick Rangers and they’re in England

I think the current state of pythoneque affairs is that Ally and the players are all doing the “silly walking away” sketch.
At the Brew today.

What are likely timings for today? When is creditors meeting? Do I really need to stay glued all day to the screen?

You beat me to it: I was literally just thinking that if TFPLG had any class (and a genuine sense of humour beyond the ‘cheeky-chappy’ public persona), he’d do a Cleese Ministry of Funny Walks out of Ibrokes and into his car …
The sleekit yin probably knows theres going to be a battle for the right to play at the grave and doesn’t want to get caught in the middle being used as a mouthpiece.
The Record
ALLY McCOIST is set to quit Rangers after discovering a plot to get rid of him.
Record Sport believes that even though it will break his heart to leave, the 49-year-old is in an impossible position. And late last night sources said McCoist will be gone within 48 hours after confronting new owner Charles Green over plans to oust him.
It was stressed that it was only his loyalty to the club and the fans that prevented him from walking immediately on finding out earlier this week he has no place in Green’s blueprint for the future.
But even then McCoist’s first reaction was to ask himself if there was anything more he could do that might help the club he loves.
However, according to one former director, the manager is now so disgusted by what he’s discovered he cannot remain.
And the blame is being laid at the door of one man, Green, who is about to become owner of the newco Rangers.
The ex-board member claims even though Green spoke highly of McCoist in public and to his face he had made up his mind to change manager.
And our source also insisted the manager, the one man who has held the players, staff and fans together over the past traumatic six months, has been sickened by the lack of transparency surrounding his club.
McCoist thought constantly about his position but remained because he believed Rangers needed a measure of continuity no matter how small to get through the heartache.
Even after the rejection of the CVA proposal by HMRC on Tuesday, McCoist was willing to do what was right for the club and the only thing he’d ever demanded in return was honesty from those with the power to buy and sell Rangers.
He doesn’t believe there has been enough transparency or respect for the fans. With the board dismantled and disgraced Craig Whyte absent McCoist felt it was his responsibility to try to lead by example.
But our source believes McCoist feels he has been let down by Green, who will begin the process of buying Rangers out of liquidation after today’s creditors’ meeting.
For £5.5million he will get the lot – but not the manager.
Our source said: “Honesty, dignity and courage have always been the driving forces in McCoist’s make-up but he doesn’t think those qualities have been in abundance outwith the players, staff and fans.
“Even so he was convinced it was his duty to do everything he could to help Rangers survive but to be told his dismissal had already been spoken about by Green has left him disgusted.”
Rangers players, even those who are about to abandon the Ibrox ship, will be stunned.
They regarded McCoist as the one steadying influence in turbulent waters.
The fans, too, came to see another side of him in his first year as a manager. He echoed their concerns ever since Rangers fell into administration and would-be owners started circling the club.
But now his short reign appears to be over and although Green has charmed his way into a position of power he might not have the vocabulary to talk his way out of this mess.

creditors meeting was set for 10:00, so may have just started.
Should be a quick meeting
;o)
Honesty,dignity and courage ffs!
Well every fly sleekit dirty trick will be used to ensure newco start life in the SPL the latest is a threat from Sky to withdraw from there deal with Scottish football.I have said it before but Scottish football is at the cross roads they have to choose sporting integrity or money. H.H.
The DR artcle posted above was written by McCoist’s mammy.
Seriously though,
How painful must it be to be a loyal Rangers supporter right now?
All the good Rangers men, like McCoist and Greig, have disappeared over the horizon.
The only people who want to buy whatever remains of the club are a den of wide boys, thimbleriggers, and irrepressible fabulists, none of whom has any serious cash anyway.
They still have impending liquidation, the big tax case, and the consequences of improper registration of players hanging over their heads.
Third Lanark may have died of shame, but Rangers could be annihilated, erased, extirpated, with even their historic titles and trophies taken away from them, leaving behind a toxic legacy that is to football what Chernobyl is to the nuclear power industry.
Would it help if we got Simon Bates to do an episode of “Our Tune” for our blue brothers across the Clyde? (thumbsup)

Clark confirms HMRC have now formally voted no to CVA. Other votes worth £30m have been submitted.

It has already started and will only last 15/20 minutes apparently.
Realistic candidate for Newco Huns in Div 3….?
Billy Dodds?
Would be top of the list .. Start working your way down from there?
I love the “die-hard Rangers fan Amy Macdonald” in the dead white and blue Sun article.
“The supporters have done nothing wrong.”
Well actually Amy, there are a few things we could mention here
When did the Record stop playing for ranjurs?
Shooper Ally disnae doo wokking away.
However if you put him on his side he would roll away very easily, much like a barrel.

can this week get any better? :D
GIRFUY Rangers
For those interested in Chinese lantern purchase try your local Pound Shops (unless they are already sold out!)
Wonder if Hughie brought along the Clapometer to the stiffing meeting.
The battle for the black heart of Ibrox seems about to begin.
Sal is distancing himself from Green, in the hope that he will becarried shoulder high back through the gates when the dust settles.
Such dignity,such courage, such honour.
A knighthood from her Maj surely awaits.
No, wait, she’s no’ too pleased with them.

So is he just going back to plain old Ally again.
The ‘Alistair’ pish was laughable.
