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.

It's often been said that local loons are less popular at Aberdeen than outsiders.

You could be right.

Im sure Bobby Connor and Billy Stark might disagree though.

I just read the rat Miovski has deleted his social media accounts.

Aye, his move is working out well, long may it continue.

😂

I've said it before so I'll say it again: Miovski was good for us, not great, and any love for him can only have been because of how shite the majority of the rest of our squad was rather than him being any kind of special. Compared to proper heroes he was and remains a nobody. Shinnie deserves 100 times the love and respect that Miovski got but somehow he doesn't seem to get it.

Shinnie deserves a place in Aberdeen club history. A trophy winning proud Aberdeen for the jersey guy. Love the way he plays and delighted when he played for Scotland, more than deserved. Gutted when he left and delighted when he came back. At the same time, he’s on the decline and more and more people are holding him in less regard. I did criticize him last week, think he struggles at times now, but he will always be legendary shinnie.

funny, I never rated considine and didn’t care for him much  at all, but so many/the majority treat him with legendary status.

The rat scores, but they suffer another Euro pumping.

Is there any truth in the rumour that he has done his hamstring 🤞

It said so in the match report in the Herald. 
 

Karma karma karma karma karma kar mechanic (John Cooper Clarke). 

Nothing trivial hopefully 😉

If he has he won't be playing when we play them in January.  On hand that makes me happy as seeing him play for them in the flesh will be a really sore one.  That said I was thoroughly looking forward to giving the traitor rat bastard dogs abuse so swings and roundabouts.

I just assumed it was about Miovski getting a game 

Is it not better known as a "treat" in the Glasgow slums?

I honestly think that there's not enough hate on this forum at times. I was expecting a bit more from some of the new posters. 

I'm getting on a bit now so I'm a lot more insouciant than I once was but I've still got a decent amount of bile to spew out albeit the omeprazole are helping with holding that back a bit and the general 'hippy' vibe I'm sensing from a lot of the old guard posters is leading me to show some well-mannered and respectful restraint. 

If a rat at Ibrox is news, then that's the definition of a slow news day.

 

PS - notice how many empty seats there were all around it...

Terrible kit for the local parkrun. 

Allowing away fans back in the stadium wasn't the best idea. 

Idiots. 

Vermin. Both sets of fans.

Exactly. Proper fans throw chairs off their player's face.

I see they're claiming one of their players is worth £20 million.

Mind that Colombian lad they had who they thought was worth about £50 million? Where is he now?
