    Head in the sand about what? I was responding to a post regarding the EBT case, you read my reply, so tell us all in which way will the outcome affect Rangers? And please don't give us any pish about dead clubs, just answer the question.

    Oh dear youngster, your posts are becoming more aggressive on here by the day. Is there something troubling you? I remember Falkirk facing administration in the late nineties and felt absolutely gutted my club was facing the end. However, our supporters rallied round and saved our club from administration and possibly worse. In Liquidation - that's where you are, and the spawn of the dead club is facing administration as well.

    Rangers (sic) are at the centre of a financial cover-up investigation over claims the club will be broke within two weeks.
    The stock exchange inquiry was launched after an Ibrox official is alleged to have forecast they would run out of cash by mid-February." The Sun. 18 hours ago.
    Nash, who insisted that he was paid in advance,delivered his interim report to Wallace on Friday. He had to be persuaded from not walking away by the principals of the Laxey hedge fund. Wallace was counting on a £2.5M loan from Charles Green to pay for two months payroll and give him some breathing space to raise funds with a new share loss. Green would not release the shares to the Easdales unless they paid a premium on the 70p share launch price. The Easdales offered market value of 26p. NO SALE, NO LOAN,ADMINISTRATION WITHIN HOURS. Watch the shares go into a tail spin tomorrow morning prior to their suspension. Wallace will then be forced to file for administration within hours of his stock exchange statement.

    I think it's for the best :)

    Thanks for that. Wasn't doubting you'd seen it somewhere, just wanted to see it for myself.

    I don't necessarily think it proves that they particularly wanted to be drug mules, although I'm also not saying they didn't. I see two possible scenarios:

    • They got involved with the wrong crowd in Ibiza and were persuaded to do this with the promise of a big pay-off (so basically out of greed).
    • They got involved with the wrong crowd in Ibiza, got in above their heads and did this to pay off a debt or something along those lines. By the time they realised they were in above their heads it was too late to back out, and the whole laughing and joking thing was them putting a brave face on it.

    FWIW I reckon it's probably somewhere in between, but it doesn't really change anything as they'd struggle to defend themselves on the basis of their having been coerced even if it had really happened exactly the way they describe it. It's not really something that'd be easy to prove unless they could get the gangsters to come forward and admit to it. Either way I feel a bit sorry for them as they're basically daft wee lassies who've made a series of bad judgements and are about to get pretty severely punished for them. That's not to say that I think they should be dealt with leniently on that basis - the law's the law and being a daft wee lassie isn't going to cut it as a defence - but I think that it's possible to think that they should be dealt with as is standard whilst still feeling a bit sorry for them.

    The other point is once you're in that culture, it becomes the norm. Back in the days of rolling joints with mates, you think everyone is at and it's not illegal. Throw in the 'free' money and the lifestyle in Ibiza and it becomes rock'n'roll. She said to her flatmate in the DR article she didn't have to work, so I suspect she was already lined up for the trip. Feel sorry for her family. She told her dad in prison in Lima she knew nothing of cocaine, and he believes her - he then sees the story in the DR. What must he be thinking?

    Because I'm not.

    I can and do get a bit annoyed from time to time - discovering that nescafe's 'unsweetened' cappuccino sachets still contain around 5g of sugar is an example. I was getting frustrated trying to find the faulty component in my new (and otherwise excellent) diabetic control regime until I came across that information.

    But, diddy club fans speaking out of turn about the Rangers? Sorry - you'll have to find another target for the idea that we might care what you think about anything to do with our team.

    I think you'll find itis 'The Rangers'. I suppose the phrasing of the word 'International' is optional. They're a new club after all
