Oooo the little liar.

"I am not a financial man, I don't see the accounts, I don't know the accounts, I don't know the expenditure, I don't know the ins and outs, with the greatest of respect that is not my job.

"My job is to hopefully pick a team that can get us out the division and win games and that is what I am concentrating on.

"If there is a side to it where we go into that situation again I would expect to be informed but I certainly haven't been anything other than reassured.

Busted. :lol:

Respect! Where's his respect?

More embarrassment for Rangers as another potential mug investor is raging as he is associated with Easdale's interpol chasing criminal pal Rizvi. Looks like administration is now closer than ever.

Only at Rangers. :lol:

So let me get this straight .... the BoD invited the Malaysian businessmen over in the knowledge they have loads of money and wished to buy the club.

Sandy and his pals invite (or are persuaded to invite) Rivzi along ... a known criminal and fraudster .. sparking a media outlash.

Result any chance the Malaysian businessmen will invest in this scam has been blown out of the water as it is embarrassing for them back home, that or the cooked books make for horrendous reading .

I love the spivs .... the wife states you couldn't write comedy drama this funny as no-one would find it believable .

People getting the two confused doesn't help either. ''Malaysian fraudster''. :lol:

To use a racist cliche .... 'they all look the same' ... and why bother with minor details when you are a journo.

Having to explain to a Rangers supporting work colleague that Rivzi is a British national born in Pakistan. :huh:

You know its got to a point that us on the BRALT are far more knowledgeable about Rangers and what is going on than the average Rangers fans are. Both Tedi and Benny know this, they continually praise us for being experts. ;)

Comment: Scottish referendum Yes vote would have ramifications for Rangers FC

The Scottish independence referendum on Thursday could have ramifications for supporters of one of Scotland’s most identifiable British institutions - Glasgow Rangers Football Club, if a majority plumps to leave the Union.

A popular anthem for the legions at Ibrox Park is Rule Britannia and, proportionally, there are usually more Union Jacks displayed at a Rangers game than one might expect to see at a Royal Trooping of the Colour in London.

British soldiers in Scottish regiments are feted regularly by the Ibrox fans and the Union Jack has prominence on the roof of the famous listed red-bricked grandstand on Edmiston Drive

The Rangers Football Club has been British and true-blue Scottish and proud of it since its foundation in 1872 by a group of young Glasgow sportsmen who included Moses McNeil, whose mother came from Bellshill outside Downpatrick in Co Down.

The Ulster and Northern Ireland connections are deep-rooted at Rangers with tens of thousands of people in this part of the United Kingdom in loyal support of the famous Gers.

Rangers may be experiencing the most traumatic period in its illustrious history, being now in its third season out of the premiership ranks of Scottish football, but the club can still muster 50,000 fans for home games and wields considerable influence in the sporting and social fabric of the west of Scotland, and beyond.

Scottish National Party deputy leader Nicola Sturgeon may politically represent in the Scottish Parliament the constituency of Govan - where Rangers Football Club locate, but her influence at Ibrox Park is non-existent.

Officially, Rangers Football Club has not proferred a preference on how people should vote in next Thursday’s referendum, but a senior staffer at Ibrox Park told me he fully would agree with the assessment that the vast majority of supporters would be ‘No’ voters.

Current Rangers manager Ally McCoist and predecessor Walter Smith have nailed their colours to the mast by declaring a ‘No’ to independence. And interestingly, so too have Glasgow Celtic legends Billy McNeill, Bertie Auld and Pat Crerand and other famous footballing Scots - David Moyes, Kenny Dalglish and Alan Hansen.

Indeed, several of the Scottish Labour politicians, who are Celtic fans including MPs Jim Murphy, a former Opposition defence spokesman..

This referendum campaign for a ‘No’ vote appears to have crossed the ‘Old Firm’ sectarian divide in the west of Scotland to a large degree, a development confirmed by Daily Record soccer journalist David McCarthy.

But even in the unlikely event of a far-reaching, radical constitution-changing ‘Yes’ vote, David does not expect things will change much among supporters at Ibrox Park in attitudes in the flying of the Union Jack and the display of fervently pro-British sentiments.

“There will probably be more Union Jacks displayed at Ibrox, if there was to be an independent Scotland,,” said David, whose newspaper, a Labour organ, is solidly behind the ‘No’ campaign.

At a recent Rangers game a huge banner was unfurled bearing the telling words: ‘No Thanks’. Glasgow Celtic is a Scottish-based club steeped in an Irish nationalist/Roman Catholic tradition and a great many fans who flock to Parkhead stadium look to the “auld country” for their historical and cultural identity.

If the independent vote is carried, Glasgow Rangers Football Club and true blue supporters would likely be seen, in the new constitutional and political dispensation, as showing allegiance to a foreign country.

Such a scenario would not worry the Ibrox legions who would still proclaim with “Heart and Hand” their Britishness and assertive support for the unionist and loyalist cause.

However, if would be a supreme irony for supporters of Scotland’s two biggest football clubs, looking in separate directions, to propagate an identity that lay outside the confines of a narrow independent nation, no longer part of the United Kingdom

Even in sport, the almost unimaginable consequences of Scotland going independent would be a mould changer.

Anyone who bases their vote on their football club is an idiot.

Oh and as ibrox isn't at sea.. Its the union flag. Ffs

Maybe one of the first things to be done if we gain independence is cut the land away all around Ibrox Stadium, float and then tow it down the Clyde and out to sea. We don't do rowing away.

There are Scots living outside Scotland who have no intention of returning. Should they get a vote?

:offtopic but it's an important issue so I'll join in. :)

As a Scot now living in England I don't think I should have a vote. But I left voluntarily. Many Scots abroad (I'm not going back as far as the 'clearances') were 'forced' to emigrate in order to find work and a better life, in places like Canada , NZ, Australia etc. (and England)

Perhaps, just perhaps, if Scotland had not been mis-ruled from Westminster things could have been different and they would mostly all still be here. We will never know.

Hey, things might have been worse, parcel of rogues and all that, but I doubt it.

FYI the reason I left, after retirement, was simply to escape the weather. :( F'kn hate the rain and cauld.

I see Castle Grant has been sold for 1m+. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2757636/Ex-Rangers-owner-Craig-Whyte-nets-1m-mystery-foreign-buyer-snaps-castle.html?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490

Just remember Rangers fans contribution to Craig Whyte's lavish lifestyle. He took, never gave, then buggered off.
