    Not to mention a few of the other clubs that basically survive on revenue (be it gates, be it the tv deal) generated by them.

    It's sir david murray, craig whyte and the boards fault and their fault alone :evil:
    if you own/run the biggest business in scottish football ,how can you not pay the tax for that business ?

    And if gers do go bump, how are clubs like dundee,killie,st mirren,etc,etc and to a lesser extent cel*ic going to cope with all the coin rangers bring to the table through gate reciepts, for those clubs.... and the old firm derby is a totally different kettle of fish compaired to st.mirren v cel*ic...........

    St Mirren are the only club in the SPL who aren't in debt. The rest are up poop creek though

    And this is why Scottish football is crap, reliant on 2 teams.

    They don't know what the bill is yet as the tax tribunal hasn't ruled on the case yet. Sounds like the filing for administration is a part of the 'game' with HMRC to try to get the tax man to settle for less than the armageddon scenario of £75m or whatever the worst case is that's been touted around.

    There will always be the glorious Heart of Midlothian FC.

    Until Romanov sells them on Ebay anyway. Next free listing day I hear.

    I'm sure Gers supporters could easily find another big team in Glasgow to switch allegiance to ;-)

    More seriously, how much of their success has been on the never-never? They have won the league 17 out of the last 25 years - does the dodgy finance go back to their 9 in a row in the 80s/90s?

    TBH I have nothing against Rangers or their mirror image, but the dominance of the old firm is a totally malignant influence on Scottish football.

    PS what has 4 legs and more money than Rangers?

    They know the tax they originally avoided, waiting for the settlement might cost them more with interest and penalties

    They seem to know the worst case outcome for sure, though the club must be in a real financial mess if they can't afford what would have been due if they hadn't done this trust scheme.

    I really hope the HMRC win their high court case against the current football creditors rule in operation in the Premier and Football Leagues.

    It is about time football paid the price for a club going tits up rather than the tax payer, the non footballing employees and local business etc - all currently get screwed under the present system.

    If it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.
    If it shouldn't move and does, use the tape.

    Didn't something similar happen to Leeds a few years ago?
