Nacho Novo has posted a touching picture of an EBT reunion.

Ronald de Boer, Arthur Numan and Jorg Albertz joined the Glasgow based publican in the picture giving fans a glimpse of the good old days when Her Majesty went without in order to reward foreign mercenaries.

That generation of players were all lured to Ibrox with the promise of money paid into offshore accounts that were kept secret from the football and tax authorities.

While everyone else quickly emptied their ‘Trust’ it’s believed that Numan never touched his ‘tax free’ windfall.

In July 2017 the Supreme Court ruled that the scam run by Dave Murray was simply disguised remuneration- subject to income tax, national insurance, penalties and interest.

Novo recently revealed to the Daily Record that the tax demands were causing a lot of stress for his former team-mates with players health and marriages suffering.

Included in the interview the former striker claimed that he would have played for £10/week and that if there were any future tax problems the club would deal with them.

Unfortunately for Novo and his team-mates the club that made that promise went into liquidation in 2012.
