Contrary to our earlier understanding, Rangers did not win a ruling from the Court of Session on who was to be appointed administrator, HMRC and Rangers came to agreement on the appointment of Duff and Phelps, who acted for Whyte during his takeover of the club.
The admission by Duff and Phelps that today’s court action by HM Revenue and Customs was in connection to circa £9m unpaid tax accrued since the takeover in May last year will come as a surprise no one in the Celtic Quick News community. This is why Rangers are now in administration, it’s nothing to do with the big tax case, or indeed, the wee tax case.
Key question is, what will HMRC do now? They’re not going away/. Rangers continued to sign football players despite being delinquent with taxes, and briefed journalists that they rejected a £9m offer for a player on 31 August 2011.
The fact that the business is in administration due to activity carried out under Craig Whyte’s tenure may also interest the Insolvency Service, who are already investigating Whyte’s takeover of the club following information passed by former chairman, Alastair Johnston.

You failed my challenge … but donation made now, anyway.
It is that kind of day.
And there are more such days to come!
that interview there on R5 just shows how the media works, their headline was ‘Scottish football doomed without Rangers’ and they wanted the interviews to back that point up not to actually debate it.
I can see that, despite Paul’s best efforts, the 5 Live presenter had already bought into the narrative that we’re nothing without Rangers.
We need to get more facts out there.
Time for HMRC to reveal what they know before a deal is stitched up.

Well done, about time the Celtic voice was heard. Staggering just how desperate they are to hang on to us to save themselves.

bottom of the 3rd division, at best !!!
Well done Paul.
You eloquently made the point that life can and will go on without them. (We don’t need no stinkin rangers)
The other fella’s point was “its no fair”

Paul67,
Very well said despite Tony Liveseys best efforts. The last couple of days have been amazing and kudos to yourself as always for staying at least one step ahead of the mainstream competition. Can I ask you a question – Would the last couple of days rank as the busiest on the site since you started?
what players do they have out of contract in the summer? they will be first to go, no asset value only a cost
Good evening CQN
Not on long as it is St. Valentine’s, a bit like my birthday and Christmas ;-)
What a day, I’ve managed to lurk a wee bit, however most has been through twitter.
Have a great night CQN!!!
Speak to you tomorrow from the fast train….

THEIR rent and taxes are to pay, THEY cannot them redeem.
And that’s just another reason why, today is one of the finest that TIMMERY has ever seen.

Missed Paul67 but caught Newsnight. Good to see Stephen Morrow getting so much media time (and hopefully chunky appearance fees to match); had a few interesting conversations with him when he was starting his work on the economics of football back at Hairy Twat in the mid-90s. He was leading the commentary on the implications of, among others, Bosman and the rise fo Sky in England, and very prescient. One of the few commentators who warned about the “football’s not like other businesses” cliche.

You’d need a heart of stone not to laugh at this post of FF.. (or a heart of, erm, brick…)
“What about our bricks ?
Many of us have spent good money on a commerative brick adorning the various walls and panels of our stadium.
They celebrate birthdays, family values and pay respect to our friends and family who have passed on.
Now that we are formally in a period of Administration, what rights do we have to these ?
It should be noted that none of them are on the listed sections of the building so could be lost forever.”
Well done Paul!
Controlled and reasoned, only one out there I can say that about today!
How fed up did Graham Speirs look on Scotland Tonight?

My heart goes out to you and your family, hang in there hermano.

Asking how the SPL would survive without rangers is like wondering how the munckins coped after Dorothy knocked off the wicked witch of the West.
Hay ho the huns are deid!

Embdy got a link to Paul, my computer went and died on me.
What about our bricks?
oh, they’ll all be sold off………….oh,sorry, you said BRICKS…
Nice one magnificentseven….I’ll bow to your longevity. Think my history only goes back about 4 years, since just before the arrival of wee Mag7. He’s away to his bed earlier tonight wondering why his daddy can’t stop smiling – I’ll bet monikers and big wide grins are two things you and I have in common this evening!

We’re good mate. I had a wee weekend away in the Lake District with the missus which was thoroughly enjoyable and much needed. A hectic last few months had caught up with me as I’m no as young as I used to be :-)
Hope you and FGF and families are doing well buddy.
