When asked if the £33m he claimed to have lodged for the purchase of Rangers, was “Your own money from your own personal wealth?” in today’s Scotland on Sunday (SoS), Craig Whyte told the newspaper, “Yes, that was done as far back as November 2010.” Perhaps not the most useful information to put into the public domain during divorce proceedings.
I think every single one of you who referred to Craig Whyte as a billionaire, or the cheeky “MBB” (Motherwell born billionaire) owes him an apology. While Hero Whyte didn’t deny he was a billionaire he told SoS he doesn’t “talk about [his]personal wealth to anybody” and that those of you who make continual references to his considerably wealth are “making [him]look silly”.
Let’s be clear, this man does not need you to make him look silly. Please desist and apologise.

BBC Scotland’s sports department are sick. They are not talking to them. Oh, the irony!!!
Do things get better than this? I’m sure they will but our forefathers must have dreamed of today.
OUR DAY HAS COME.
WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED.
Frankie Boyle on twitter:
Not a bad result for rangers, the coins thrown can go straight in the electricity meter.
Happy happy days….:)
Some early FF reaction
Congratulations Ally….
You are now responsible for the most gutless and disgraceful performance I have ever seen from a Rangers team at Ibrox.
Did we even have a shot in anger against a team thats won TWO games in their last NINE?
Its an absolute shambles from top to bottom.

I hope he is big enough to walk away. Out of your depth Ally.

Ally do the decent thing and resign now.

Cowards to a man..utterly disgusted

He must walk today. We have been woeful for 2 months now and he hasn’t changed a thing.
Yes we don’t have a multitude of bodies but what he has at his disposal should be doing much better than this rubbish. He plays 2 full backs on the left hand side. He persists with Bartley a CB at right back.
We are 2 down and he hooks our only possible poacher who might have sniffed a goal out today.
This is the final nail in McCoist coffin for me.

He must go. No ifs, no buts. Out of 3 competitions within a few months, throwing away a large gap and signing awful players. There is no excuse.
the big paddy can’t take the smile off of his face!

Collum is really a dangerous ref.
No-one respects him, when things simmer over he always loses control.
Bartley is the kind of kid who starts a fight in the playground once he realises that he’s amongst younger kids.
Guess we all know it’s death by a thousand cuts now, only question is what cut are we at?
I noted Sally stated yesterday that results are now secondary to the financial crisis.
Credit due for putting the plan into place immediately
Celtic, froidian slip
ta very much United, just won me some money!!! :)

Not the worst result for Rangers. Coins thrown at the end can go straight in the electricity meter #puttheswordawaybigmanitwasjustajoke
Can I just state that I ‘DON’T’ feel sorry for Ally.
Or Rangers.
Or their fans.
If only they knew a quiet, humble billionaire who could get them out of their ‘off the field’ problems…
u
In some ways it will be sad to see them go. Days like this I will miss……..
….but not too much!
Watched the game on TV against my usual instinct. :-)
Rangers were very physical in the second half and the referee was quite patient with them. United deserved to win.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
This is just too good!
How many yellow card at 600 pounds a piece? The straws that breaks the camel’s back?
Cue Golf clubs in West of Scotland deluged with membership applications!
Surely there has to be a “crises”… at ibrox………….for goodness sake jabba keevins and wee dawal….go on lets here it from you
15/2 fILL YOU BOOTS!!!
Apologies if already posted..(text)
Arab fan stopped in Govan and asked directions to Ibrox.
The wee wumin said “just folow the crowds son”.
The guy ended up in M&S in Braehead.
PASS THE PARCEL WRD!!!!
Awe_Naw:
Don’t do that to me man! I thought Thatcher had snuffed it as well for a second there haha! What a night on the sauce THAT would have been!
How you all doing today lads? Feeling “sympathetic” yet?
Hahahahahahahahaha.
Rob McLean’s a oaf. Good news and bad news from Ibrokes. Only good as far as I am concerned. I am sorry I ever doubted Whyte. He clearly is a man of great morale fibre and I am sure he is a friend of Jonathan Aiken: “I will cut out the cancer of bent and twisted journalism* with the simple sword of truth.”
Hail Hail
* Well maybe not real journalists in the MMS, but certainly real ones Paul67, PM and RTC.
Used to think Nevin was quite smart. Maybe I gave him the benefit of the doubt because I thought he was a Tim.
Now I think he would give dalziel a run for his money as biggest balloon in the media.
Cringeworthy
Arabs fan stopped a wee wummin in Govan to ask where Ibrokes was.
‘Just follow the crowds, son’, came the reply.
He ended up at Braehead……….

I heard that as well, very odd for the commentator to mention that, was he trying to say Rangers couldn’t afford them?

Good effort from the Rankers fans today, it mus have taken a fair bit of co-ordination to get so many to turn up dressed as blue plastic seats ……..loyal to the end………..or should that be at the end!! ;-)
is that crowd 17000 plus blue bin bags or including
been of the suace for 28 days now,but on days like this I defer to Homer J Simpson ” Beer, the cause and solution to many of lifes problems” .
Becks now in hand,perhaps Swally is reaching for the tumbler of whisky and revolver in the blue room?
The best still to come,when the huns
are in the grubber the simply the best supporters
abandon their team.
Cannae wait ,roon ye ragers
Beautiful Sunday !! JCGE !
Wot do u expect when u have a player who is a horse..SHERGAR
Paul67 re you’re leader, you’ve been a stalwart support of CW recently on CQN and you’ve to be applauded for that, do you think he can last until the next transfer window opens?
tongueincheekCSC

Pass the Kleenex time in the BBC Studios……
Hope it hurts like Hell.
