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.

Surprised it wasn’t with Bonnie Blue in the Ibrox car park.

League Cup group stage, maybe.

The dog botherer away to Middlesbrough on a season long loan.

So no £8-10 million pound deal to Spain or Italy.

No idea about that, but was something doing the rounds yesterday about Miovski away to Feyenoord for £10 million.

Imagine having players worth £10 million that can't even make their bench. 🤣

Lewis Ferguson agreed to join them this summer, but they didn't make a bid for him. So he didn't.

The Daily Ranger reporting Connor Barron has been frozen out at Middlesbrough, due to them having so many players.

Fixed it for you

Wonder if he is enjoying fiddling with the English dogs 🤔

Who would have thought joining Rangers "to win trophies" would not work out?

McHunnis is moaning about the international break, saying his players "played like a team that hasn't played together for weeks".

That's because they haven't played together for weeks. Idiot.
