Sale of Rangers FC 'will go ahead by mid-January'

 

Published Date: 05 December 2010

A DEAL to sell Rangers Football Club to Scots venture capitalist Craig Whyte will go though by the middle of January, according to senior sources at the club.

Whyte, 39, met with Ibrox chairman Alastair Johnston in Glasgow to discuss the purchase of Sir David Murray's shareholding in the club.

 

The proposed £33 million deal will wipe out the existing debt that has stymied Rangers in the transfer market for two years.

 

Yesterday, sources at Rangers said the deal, barring any late hitches, could be completed before Christmas but it is more likely that it will be done by the middle of January. "We can't say with 100 per cent certainty, but Whyte has the money and is very convincing. We think the deal will happen," said the source.

 

Murray has presided over Rangers for 22 years but has been keen to sell his stake for some time.

 

Hopefully the debt thing is not true as that is what is holding them back at the moment.

Lalit Modi, the first commissioner of cricket's Indian Premier League, has expressed an interest in buying a large shareholding in Rangers.

BBC Scotland has learned Modi's representatives made contact with the chairman of Rangers' football board, Sandy Easdale, earlier this week.

The groups talked about the potential sale of the 26% stake Easdale controls.

It is believed a price has already been discussed. And a meeting could take place as early as next week.

Modi was banned for life by the Indian Cricket Board of Control after they charged him with misconduct relating to financial irregularities.

 

Can't seem to get the image upload to work, but a mate of mine, one of the 1% of Rangers fans who is not deluded, sent me a screenshot of a Rangers forum, talking about the London EGM.

 

In this thread, one of the nuggets, without any hint of sarcasm, asks "Maybe we could ask Sky if they will cover the costs of a bigger venue, say The O2, then screen proceedings live to those of us who can't attend"

Only 11,000 there allegedly. Looked less than 10k.

McCulloch and Simenson both given 2 match bans starting with the Hibs game on Friday night

 

McCulloch for stamping on a Raith Player and Simenson for his gambling exploits although the latter was apparently suspended by an independent Panel and NOT the SFA.

 

Hopefully hibs stick another 4 past them to move into 2nd place

Hills still offering 2/1 just for a Hibs win. 5/1 for Hibs -1 and 12 for -2. Ridiculous.

Was surprised by that myself! I think he'll do quite well at Hibs.

 

Going by the highlights, it looked like the huns weren't that bad and actually unlucky not to have a penalty 

I was more surprised by his total jakie eye appearance but I suppose he's at hibs now..... when in Rome.  I think he will do great at hibs

The EGM is now going to happen at Mordor, after two London hotels turned them down.

Saw that there was a jelly and ice cream cancellation tweet by the hotel

King has also urged Rangers supporters to curtail their anger at the current board and focus on voting them off.

"It is not the Rangers way to threaten individuals and there should be zero tolerance for this," he said.
