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

 

Published Date: 05 December 2010

By Tom English

 

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.

Contract with SEVCO runs till end of the season so perhaps a race to see which one folds first?

That’s actually a shame.  Castore’s stuff is pretty decent quality.

Wouldn’t buy it because of their association with them and suspect I might not be the only one from those results.

Tom, it isn't the number plate that is significant 

Expand the picture and start at the top left of the left hand door and that should make things clearer 😉

Not saying Motherwell winning today eliminates my sadness of yesterday, but it’s a huge help! Love a failing rangers on and off the pitch. Can motherwell hang on!?!?

1-0 Well at half time. Booing from Blue orcs at half time was glorious.

Apparently the scorer didn't celebrate his goal 'cos he used to play for the dead club...what a melt.

It actually looked like he was apologising to Hun support for scoring.

I can even read it from your picture there.

Can't believe an old fucker like me has better eyesight than you youngsters.

Start top left and look at the second yellow line and you should see the first words drawn onto the the dirty van.

If not, then glasses required lads

I was hoping for some amusing company name or logo rather than someone deciding against the traditional 'wash me' or 'I wish my wife was this dirty'

Sorry to disappoint Tom.

Guess you had to be there to witness first hand as it pulled alongside 

At least you got there, even if it wasn't worth the effort 😂

There's news around that SF 49ers' investment wing is expected to close out a takeover of The Rangers 2012 FC, including all debts owed to John Bennett, by June this year. The deal is expected to be similar to that which saw them takeover Leeds Utd two years ago

Helping Israel commit genocide is one thing, lickspittling to Putin another, but purchasing the Huns? The US has gone too far this time. 

Seems a good a place as any to put this.

Graham Dott has been charged with kiddy fiddling.  Not particularly surprised about this really....  Nonce hun cunt 

But tlg this doesn’t go with the agenda they have against the tims. Come on, you must know this is fake news 😂

Down to ten men inside 15 minutes.  Mcoist almost in tears on Co comms trying to argue that whilst it was denying a goal scoring opportunity it wasn't common sense to send a player off for a red card offence.  Hilarious. 

 

This massively plays into our hands for Sunday, Bilbao are going to run them ragged.
