David Murray Rangers newsCraig Whyte has blamed David Murray for the demise of Rangers.

When Murray sold the club to Whyte in May 2011 for £1 part of the deal stated that neither party would comment on the other.

Earlier this year Murray told some hand-picked reporters that he had been duped by Whyte into the deal with that fact loyally passed on to the masses.

Murray has escaped relatively unscathed by the demise of the club but with a verdict in the long running big tax case expected to be delivered this month the gloves are off with the blame game well under way.

“You’ve got to look to where the problem started, what caused this chain of events,” Whyte claimed.

“What caused it was the ruinous EBT scheme, which was in operation for 10 years.

“If it hadn’t been for that, the club wouldn’t have been sold for £1 and the club would’ve been able to get proper funding.”

The former billionaire added: “Even if you look back to the previous board, before I was involved, they could’ve battened down the hatches, they could’ve cut expenses, they could’ve got rid of the Lloyds debt themselves, they could’ve built up a surplus of cash to deal with the tax case.

“They chose not to do that, they chose to bury their head in the sand and not deal with these issues.”

Whyte also claimed that he introduced Green to administrators Duff & Phelps but the Sevco chief has claimed that the deal was already underway through Zeus Capital when he first made contact with Whyte.

    I believe Craig White’s version of events- not because I think he’s the most honest, because I think he’s the funniest.

    The Sevco pantomime continues, it really is the gift that just keeps giving.

    You’ve got to hand it to Whyte, with the share issue coming up his timing couldn’t be any better, or worse if your Chuckles Green or a member of his zombie army.

    Chuckles needn’t worry though I’m sure the Ibrokes PR machine that is Jim ‘Jackanory’ Traynor will be on the case soon enough spinning some fantastic yarn to explain it all away.

    Hail Hail.
