The clamour for an Ibrox Sugar Daddie appears to have no limits.
Keith Jackson and the Daily Record weren’t the only ones that provided full on cheer-leading as Craig Whyte, the former billionaire from Motherwell, promised the earth with barely a word of criticism until administration became inevitable.
Jim McColl has been kicking tyres around Ibrox for the best part of a decade, which is much the same length of time that BBC reporter Alasdair Lamont has been looking for a money-man to bring Celtic’s success to a halt.
For years Dave Murray tried to find someone else to take on the club, satisfy the demands of a support brought up on a diet of success through various financial scams that finally led to liquidation in 2012.
Every blue-nosed businessman in Scotland has had a look at the books in the last decade or two and did an about-turn when it came to transferring cash from their account.
Douglas Park has been drawn in but after five years of underwriting losses as Celtic sweep the board he is staying very quiet about the honour of becoming Interim-Chairman of the club.

Two weeks ago the Daily Record put Stuart Gibson in the spotlight, since then he has gone to ground in Hong Kong, refusing to answer the phone to the Glasgow based publisher.
As someone once said, it’s the hope that kills them.
Got an email from Jim McColl in trying to check the story about Liverpool’s owners saying they’d be interested in investing in Rangers. Not much to report but fwiw he did say he’d been mistaken and it wasn’t Fenway Sports Group who spoke to him about it.

Why?
Jim McColl makes some strange claims on a video.
Alistair Lamont follows up asking questions. He elicits as good as “I was only kidding on” response.That’s good work.
