The Herald has once again decided to focus on the post-liquidation scandal at Ibrox that has resulted in a number of hefty pay-outs from the public purse.
Charles Green and others have been quids in while BDO complete their decade long liquidation process with absolutely no mention of Dave Murray.
The UK Exchequer picked up the tab for Murray’s failed business empire crashing to earth with the Edinburgh based businessman able to cherry pick the few viable businesses to maintain his image as a Captain of Industry.
Imran Ahmad is fighting for damages to his reputation with the former Ibrox director insisting that the claim is heard by an English court.
In September 2015 Green and Ahmad plus Duff and Phelps duo Dave Whitehouse and Paul Clark were arrested for their role in the administration of the club that led to liquidation in June 2012 when a CVA was rejected by Her Majesty.
Duff and Phelps were the administrators appointed by Craig Whyte less than a year after tossing a pound coin across the table to Murray in return for ownership of the Scottish institution.
Judges in the High Court in London have previously ruled that police and prosecutors ‘abused state power’ during the club fraud investigationhttps://t.co/HnJKqbZqZi

It seems that a line has been drawn under all matters pre liquidation with the focus very much on the post-Murray events.
This Imran Ahmad?
“…accused Police Scotland of being “an establishment institution which itself is deeply rooted and immersed in Rangers Football Club’s history for well over 140 years… Rangers is a religion, in itself, built on centuries of religious bigotry” https://t.co/GfjGYu11Sp pic.twitter.com/eSpR146szg

I’m still confused why the oldco assets were sold for £5.5 million to the newco ,which included the training complex near Beardsden ! The steel girders alone which hold up the main Ibrox stand would be worth £30 million in scrap value . The whole saga smells like a sewer from top to bottom …
