Dave Murray will give his first public interview in more than 15 years when a podcast with Ewen Cameron is broadcast.
The man that racked up the debts at Rangers then bailed out grasping a pound coin rolled his way by Sir Craig Whyte has kept a very low profile with most of his favoured media messengers retiring or moving into the florist business.
Murray enjoyed the generous lending facilities offered by Gavin Masteron from the Bank of Scotland until the smelly stuff hit the fan when Halifax took over with serious grief kicking in when Lloyds took over HBOS.
Murray then turned his attention to disguised remuneration scams to bring players to Ibrox that Rangers couldn’t afford with Barry Ferguson, Kris Boyd, Neil McCann, Billy Dodds, Alex Rae and Steven Thompson among those paid into offshore trusts, backed up by documentation.
A raid on Ibrox ordered by the Metropolitan Police in 2008 for another matter provided the evidence, from that moment the club formed in 1873 was in serious jeopardy.
Murray knew the schooling details and which club every journalist in Scotland supported, he also knew the leading business figures throughout the UK including Tom White, father of Craigy Bhoy.
A few months after Rangers went into liquidation Murray gathered his favoured messengers to his Edinburgh office, told then that he had been duped by Whyte with no follow up questions asked with the back page stories dominated by DUPED.

Murray managed to retain the profit making parts of his business empire while Lloyds/TSB and the tax-payer took the hit for the multiple failings of his ego driven empire.
A deep deep dislike of Celtic fueled Murray’s activities at Ibrox which produced the famous line of ‘for every fiver they spend I will spend a tenner’.
In truth Murray spent nothing on Rangers, mugs like Dave King were brought on board while companies related to the club Chairman took over the lucrative parts of the business.
Murray even paid himself £6m into his own offshire trust, claiming that it was a management fee and excempt from tax.
With a book coming out soon he is bound to be on deflection overdrive with hand picked DJs like Cameron chosen to deliver his sob story.
Known as Jambo-bear on Twitter/X, Cameron feins interest in Hearts while his main interest in football is hoping that anyone other than Celtic is successful.
It is believed that Kenny Macintyre, Tom English, Alasdair Lamont, Jane Lewis and Chris McLaughlin have been auditioning to see who gets to tell Murray how wonderful he was and thank him for the ill-gotten gains that once made their lives worth living.
You’ve clearly had the lamb.

Dear David, I would like to thank you for the le petite merde business, because without that little scenario happening and you thinking “this’ll get it right up Timmy”, we might not be sitting were we are just now, millions of legal money in the bank, trophies stacked up. The most successful club in Scotland, so without your cheating and lying in the 90s Celtic might not be where we are now. I thank you and I also thank you for bringing saint Craig white into our lives…
The amount of lies during Kaiser Sozes reign at Ibrox I wouldn’t be surprised if he could walk
