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.

So...excuse?

 

Season start too early/late?

UEFA hat the hun for sectarianism?

Malmo's goal was offside?

Sally is crap?

Rankers only raise their game against Aberdeen?

It's the SFA?

 

The players could not see each other as their blue shirts blended in with all the empty blue seats.

Am I right in saying the Hun are out of Europe altogether if they can't turn it around in the second leg?

Think they drop into last round of Europa League qualifiers.

Aye, you're right enough.

Think they drop into last round of Europa League qualifiers.

 

And our game at Ibrox will move back to the Sunday if it happens too.

cunt sticks 

Bit late with this. Celebrating an equaliser against Hearts the hun way.

 

I know of a huns supporters club who have 40 of its members going over to Malmo for the game and plan to get tickets for it at the ground.  If questionned they plan on saying they're on a stag do    Sad acts. Hope they get found out and the huns further punished.

Reported to have made yet another bid for Goodwillie. Also reported to have been rejected.

According to BBC gossip, there's going to be a big fallout because they didn't want to sell to the hun cunts. Oh boo hoo, someone didn't drop their kecks and the thought of OF money. Fingers crossed his signing goes smoothly with Blackburn.

Wish our club had the fucking balls to do this 

I did think that it wasn't so much a case of the money offered by the Huns but more so because Dundee United didn't want to sell to them. Good on the Jutes!

1-0 up and down to nine men at the moment.

Wish our club had the fucking balls to do this 

Wish our club developed talent sufficiently that anyone would want to buy them, let alone the OF. Or at least traded even semi-intelligently in the player market.

Ha ha.

Two sendings off and out 2-1 on aggregate.

Could easily had two more sent off as well (although Malmo could have had one more away) with McCulloch and Naismith very lucky not to join the other two. They actually were the better side tonight as well and would have probably won if it wasnot for their players losing the plot.

Ally McCoist absolutely has to be given the time and backing from the board to prove that he can be shite for an entire season.

IT'S THE FIRST WEEK OF AUGUST, SO THE POPE'S O'RANGERS MUST BE ON THE VERGE OF GOING OUT OF BIG CUP

 

While it's easy for jaded cynics to wonder what exactly Scottish fitba is for, if nothing else the annual exit of the Pope's O'Rangers from Big Cup serves as a warning that the English football season is about to begin. After their Euro Disnae League title defence was derailed by a draw with Hearts that prompted their notoriously patient fans to boo them from the field, O'Rangers' season went from "yer maw" to "skaggy baws" when a 1-0 home defeat at the hands of Malmo left them on the cusp of elimination.

 

With O'Rangers fans banned from Malmo's Swedbank Stadium as part of a Uefa punishment for singing sectarian songs (or songs, as they are known to many at Ibrox), it has been left to the home fans to cause trouble at tonight's second leg and it seems the Swedish side's support are more than up to the task. Last Saturday, for the second time this season, one of Malmo's league matches was abandoned when fireworks were thrown on the pitch during the opening stages of a game against Djurgardens. Earlier this year, a match against Helsingsborgs was stopped when a Malmo fan confronted the opposition goalkeeper.

 

"I looked at the team and the coach maybe rested one or two players and then it ended up with the vast majority of them getting a rest with the game only lasting for 11 minutes," chuckled Ally McCoist, whose lame quip would suggest he might be pining for a return to the slightly less hostile cauldron that is the A Question of Sport studio. With his captain David Weir, 89, struggling with a hamstring injury probably sustained as a result of exiting his Stannah Stairlift too quickly, McCoist was grateful that a work permit-related rick which ruled centre-half Dorin Goian ineligible was overturned and the Romanian can now play.

 

The O'Rangers cause has not been helped by the fact that they're currently embroiled in a bust-up with Dundee United after failing with a seventh bid for striker David Goodwillie, who looks Blackeye Rovers-bound despite boasting an amusing name that would afford the Ibrox faithful the opportunity to come up with a new repertoire of amusing new ditties about something other than religious denomination.

 

"Rangers can say what they like but they would have got David if they had made the right offer at the right time. They didn't," harrumphed Dundee United chairman Stephen Thompson in response to claims from O'Rangers that he wouldn't have sold them the striker out of spite. Let's face it, if Scottish fitba was half as entertaining on the field as it is in the boardrooms and stands, we'd be unable to tear ourselves away.

Madjid Bougherra sold for £1.7m to some Quatari team

I see they got beat 3-1 by their sister team. Oh well least the experience of playing against Chelsea will help them against the big guns in the Champions League this season  :wave:

Was there a bomb?
