The day of reckoning was only delayed.
Around 10am this morning what every internet bampot knew was finally confirmed.
Far away from the Edinburgh establishment the Supreme Court in London confirmed that Rangers operated an illegal tax scam for over a decade to ensure success.
From Alex Rae and Barry Ferguson through to Neil McCann, Alex McLeish and dozens more the club cheated Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs to deliver success and keep themselves afloat.
The governance of Scottish football under Regan and Doncaster is totally exposed by the Supreme Court. The position of both is untenable.

The truth will out. David Murray couldn’t stop it. Threats couldn’t stop it. Rangers are guilty, Scottish football and fans were cheated.

1997-2011 Rangers FC blatantly tried to cheat the Scottish game. There cannot be any space for turning a blind eye.

Supreme Court holds that Rangers acted illegally in the BTC 2002-2011. Add in their admission of illegality 1997-2001 for Wee Tax Case.

Let there be no spinning or euphemisms. The Supreme Court has ruled Rangers FC engaged in an illegal tax scheme 2002-2011.

There is also the issue of potential criminality involved in Rangers’ 2011 UEFA license application. This must be investigated.

Every club and every fan was cheated between 2000 and 2012 when the club finally died.
Since 2012 nothing has changed in Scottish football, not a single club has dared to request that Financial Fair Play rules are applied.
Fans are now looking for the reaction to today’s decision, a day of silence from the clubs and the authorities could be the death knell for the Scottish game.
The internet bampots have had their suspicions confirmed, now the suspicions fall on those who have remained silent.
