Former Rangers defender Marvin Andrews received £122,000 in EBT payments detailed in an agreement that ran alongside his two year Rangers contract.
According to The Sun the defender’s Rangers agreement specified four payments over the course of his contract.
In February The Sun gave details of the deal without naming the player but after last night’s BBC documentary- Rangers The Men Who Sold The Jerseys- they have decided to name Andrews.
Today’s report claims: “A letter dated the same day as his contract promised to fund his sub-trust. He was to get £122,000 in total, “payable £10,000 in June 2004, £28,000 in December 2004 and 2005 and May 2005 and 2006” subject to him being a registered Rangers player on those dates.
“It also said that from the date of the letter until 31 May 2006, £1,200 would be paid for each competitive first-team match in which he was playing or a substitute.”
Andrews was listed as one of 87 players and staff that benefited from additional payments separate from the contracts lodged with the BBC and SPL.
Rangers are awaiting the judgement from a First Tier Tribunal into the operation of the payments with HMRC claiming that they were contractual while Rangers are saying that they were discretionary payments that weren’t contracted.
With Christian Nerlinger picking up from 26 appearances over 3 seasons it’s difficult to imagine how Rangers could put up a convincing argument that that level of payment was discretionary or bonus related.
The BBC documentary claimed that £6.3m was paid into a trust for former Rangers owner David Murray with former Rangers manager Graeme Souness given a £30,000 contribution ten years after leaving Ibrox.

The souness one is a back hander if ever I saw one for the turk and a bet there was cash put in an account when Newcastle bought bomsong for 9m they are rotten to the core they make juventus look like alter bhoys. Hail hail
Here here to the above comment,….it is blatantly obvious…and they should have a look at any previous rangers manager who has left and then bought players from Rangers….I even think uncy Walt will be involved…did he not buy players from rankers when in charge at Everton?…was it him that signed Duncy the Donkey?
Truth of the matter is Rangers should have been booted out of society for their hatred of Catholics. End of. Justice will not come from SPL, Doncaster is looking after his wage, when Rangers tried to cheat to emulate the European Champions, Celtic in Lisbon 1967. Rangers have acknowledged by their actions, they couldn’t hack it.
BOOM……Neil Doncaster try and brush this under the carpet if you dare.
Bang to rights…..They will be lucky if the SFL will accept them into the 3rd Division, Blatant cheating on an unprecedented scale…off the radar in fact 🙂
Murray playing on words, did not take any money directly from Rangers…only from a Rangers sub-company who’s accounts all went through Rangers books…..Murray Park no more, Knighthood no more
Would this be the Reverand Marvin Andrews? The squeaky clean Reverand Marvin Andrews? No, can’t be!! Can it???????
God is great eh marv
