The report on Rangers on tonight’s Channel 4 News by Alex Thomson put meat on the bones of what has been going on at Rangers over the last decade or more. Former chief executive, Martin Bain, was revealed to have written to then-chairman, John McClelland, in late 2003 asking that his pay rise is paid through the club’s Employee Benefit Trust, which is not subject to Income Tax or National Insurance.
Bain goes on to make a sinister note to McClelland, “at the end of the meeting I gave her back the letter addressed to me from you that stated my contractual increase for her to shred.”
Shredding documents? Oh dear.
Bain declined to answer questions from Channel 4 but yesterday offered to drop his contractual claim against the club, suggesting his issue was with Rangers new owner, Craig Whyte. It was the most self-serving drivel I have read in a while.
If this was how he behaved as Rangers chief executive Whyte was right to suspend him last year. How Bain had the front to pursue Rangers for over £1m knowing the consequences of his letters to John McClelland beggars belief.
I wonder how HMRC view instructions to shred documents that could inform a view on a tax claim? These documents prove Rangers directors knew how EBTs worked, understood what they were doing and the consequences.
Paul Baxendale-Walker walked straight out of a Carry On movie to give a great cameo performance. In a couple of years some poor casting director is going to have to try to find actors to play Baxendale-Walker, Whyte, Bain, Paul Murray and Zsa Zsa himself. Could any actors do justice to these bizarre individuals?
I’d be interested in your suggestions. Zsa Zsa for Sir David is a given.

Elbows feigns injury again trying to win a free kick and get the Motherwell player booked
Miraculously, Brines gives the foul to Motherwell
What a haddy Goain is btw
Goian impedes Motherwell player ………and gets a foul.
.
Are the Huns ‘Shredding’ the Well Defence..?
Summa
McCulloch did stand up………………when he was 10 months
hmmmm
offside? not…
Flag up in a nano second………………even though Motherwell missed
Lasley gets a talking to for the same thing Victor was sent off for.
Detestable barsteward McCulloch simulation (again)
Lasley tries to do Elbows
Amazingly does not get booked
This game will not finish with 22 players on the pitch imo
P0ssession Well 54% Ragers 46%
Must be a bit worrying for all the Rangers players seeing Cash Convertors written all along the front of the Motherwell stand

Aluko booked for diving
Cheating scum
Aluko is a scumbag
Blatant dive by Aluko gets him yellow
Aluko booked………………………………….. dive dive dive
Iisn’t the grass nice and short today ….. Wonder why.
Just heard the moron that is Burley commenting on Aluko’s dive
He says that the Well keeper makes contact with Aluko’s shinguard
If that is the case, then why was Aluko pointing to his thigh saying that’s where contact was made, while remonstrating with Brines and the Well goalie?
Cheat
i believe someone posted earlier that The Mullet hadn’t spoken to his players all week – could this explain why they’re actually trying this time ?
First time they’ve scored in 5 games under McCall , conceding 18 (eighteen) in that time.
Aye there was contact but he then threw himself.
Diving scumbag.
Hope he is nowhere near Scottish football next year
Sone Aluko

The huns will get a soft penalty in the 2nd half when Brines sees that there was contact on Aluko at half time.
Embarrassingly bad defending by Motherwell

Given the abuse handed out at various points by the home ‘support’ this season I’d rather win it at kilmarnock. Some of the home fans are undeserving of the celebration. Just my opinion mind…….
No doubt it’s been done already: The Cry Was No Sh-redder.
Strange lineup for the currants according to the Soccernet website: no forwards. Another brilliant tactical ploy?
Curly whurly says elbows will need to watch his elbows!! Jist the day curly?? Fudd!!
Motherwell need HT quickly
Huns all over them now
Rangers crest – Aye Shreddie

Fheedthebhear ……. Fud

Go Alex – follow the money

Can anyone explain what Lasley got booked for there?
Brines really is a cretin
I tuned into Clyde to find out how Motherwell were doing, but after listening to more than 5 minutes of inane drivel about it “definitely [being] a penalty… a stonewaller”, yet still being none the wiser as to what had actually happened on the pitch during those five minutes (I presume the referee stopped play so it could be debated at such length), I have given up and turned the radio off.
After all, what does it really matter? Rangers aren’t going to win the SPL, and they aren’t going to be playing in Europe next season either, unless they pull a fast one and submit fully audited accounts before the end of the day! This match is, in effect, an irrelevance.
I don’t remember three presenters spending a full five minutes arguing the toss in Stokes’ favour at the end of the League Cup Final.
I can’t wait to see the SPL trophy presentation at CP tomorrow.
