You can’t really complain about a shadow over Rangers and the effect on the club’s value when the club itself has broken the rules.

My source insists that Craig Whyte’s claim to own the Rangers assets is alive and well and we should all “expect significant movement in the legal case in the next few weeks”.
Channel 4 News has seen a copy of the Letter Before Action now sent from lawyers acting for Craig Whyte, to Rangers FC and key shareholders involved with the club.
Here’s the email leaked to Channel 4 News last Thursday the details of which I blogged on Friday. Some club chairmen say that Mr Regan should now resign as a result of what’s going on here, back on June 23rd. That is a matter for them.
Amidst all the secrecy, the refusal to break cover, the smoke and general mirrors surrounding the Rangers fiasco – suddenly, along comes a surprise. Tristan Loughren, a Scotsman who has spent more than 20 years out of the country closing various deals as an investment banker among other trades, is nothing if not frank and open.

Craig Whyte speaks in the wake of the latest sanctions to hit Rangers. But is he talking the supporters’ language?

There are men, already well-off and many on fat salaries, who we know have yet to pay back any of the loans they received whilst Rangers went to the wall. It would be good to report that these men are inspired by the fans of the club they love, to open their chequebooks to needy creditors across Glasgow. But sadly, as yet, little sign of it happening.
Channel 4 News Chief Correspondent Alex Thomson talks to Craig Whyte regarding the rumours flying around about Rangers.
Succulent lamb culture has permeated to a degree that, as one prominent Glasgow tabloid journalist put it: “The press -a really critical check and balance in the normal way of things, had been more or less destroyed in Glasgow.”
