Democracy was a victim this morning as live tweeting from the Craig Whyte trial was banned.

Over the last three weeks thanks mainly to the sterling work of James Doleman a virtual live commentary has been provided on the case.

Some incredible revelations have come out with anyone interested able to find out the exact detail within minutes of the court hearing the evidence.

Chief among the revelations was Dave Murray admitting that the EBT scheme allowed Rangers (IL) to sign players that they would otherwise not been able to afford.

Throughout the case there has been plenty of evidence about how dependant that Ibrox club were on Ticketus.

While the disgraced club praised themselves about cutting bank debt no mention was made of the growing dependency on the Ticket Finance company while directors played pass the parcel with the wee tax case which Whyte inherited.

Various witnesses have explained how the wee tax case was overdue from November 2010 despite the SFA and Rangers declaring in the UEFA licence for 2011/12 that there were no overdue tax payables on 31 March 2011.
