Donald Findlay delivered a scathing attack on real Rangers men Paul Murray and Alastair Johnston as he summed up the defence case for Craig Whyte.
David Murray had earlier been the subject of Findlay’s cutting delivery but the one time former Rangers vice-chairman couldn’t hold back when it went on to discuss the role of Murray and Johnson.
The not so dynamic duo enjoyed all the trappings of life inside the blueroom of dignity but when it came to protecting the club or bringing in investment neither man was able to deliver. It’s believed that between them they’ve barely got a pot.
As the Whyte deal was progressing Murray and Johnston were unable to come up with a worthwhile alternative as Findlay recalled in court.
Findlay moves on to then Rangers chairman Alistair Johnson. Notes his board brought in “not a penny” of Investment.

Findlay will complete his case for the defence on Monday with Lady Stacey summing up before the jury is retired to come back with a verdict.
