The Judicial Review into Scottish football is well underway.
Yesterday the highly reliable Rangers Tax Case twitter account returned to action after a short break with news that will please fans of the game.
While Stewart Regan has urged anyone that will give him the time of day that we need to move on that move appears to have backfired.
The leaking of information held by the SFA has continued with the Schedule 36 notice served by HMRC in July 2009 putting the SFA in a bad light.
Confirming what has been said elsewhere.
Very positive news on the Judicial Review.
Still hurdles but it looks like there is a path forward.— Rangers Tax-Case (@rangerstaxcase) September 20, 2017
At this stage a Judicial Review is preferable over an “independent” SFA / SPFL inquiry. Much more likely that a JR will get to the truth.

How much have the SFA (and SPFL?) spent on PR in recent months trying to persuade the people funding the JR that it was a waste of time?

A central problem with the SFA is that it runs OUR game for the benefit of a handful of administrators. Time for a revolution.

Hard evidence points to a pattern of deception and fraud over many years at Rangers. Why is the SFA not interested?
Complicit? Stupid? Both?— Rangers Tax-Case (@rangerstaxcase) September 20, 2017
Rather than investigate how Rangers (IL) reached that situation it seems that the SFA stepped up their efforts to get the Ibrox club into the Champions League to keep the lights on.
Season by season the club that employed Andrew Dickson were dependent on next season’s UEFA cheque to pay last season’s bills including the £2.8m owed on the wee tax case for illegal payments made to Tore Andre Flo and Ronald de Boer.
When Ally McCoist messed that up away to Malmo it set in chain the events that saw the club placed in liquidation ten months later.
Dickson has returned to favour with the SFA joining their Congress earlier this year on the recommendation of the SPFL.
