A play ‘The Journey Back’ relating to the death of Rangers and emergence of Sevco has gone burst leaving several actors and actresses short of thousands pf pounds.
Lots of loyal fans bought tickets for the show which never hit the stage as Stuart Gray went into hiding in the manner of Craig Whyte.
It is a remarkable reproduction of the events of 2012 as Gray tried to fool fans that Rangers survived and bounced back!
As 276 creditors including a face painter discovered they were left holding worthless invoices for money that they will never see.
Gray is a regular face on BBC Scotland, creating ‘hilarious’ send ups of topical incidents.
Ibrox fan Craig McGowan told the Daily Mail:
The irony is Rangers went into administration and was sold for £1, and the show about it foretold our own future in a way. Although I didn’t even get £1 from this production.

CREDITORS LOSE OUT AS RANGERS GO INTO LIQUIDATION
Claiming that there was ‘The Journey Back’ should have set off alarms for the actors involved.
There was no journey back for Rangers.
In June 2012 Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, Dave King and others rejected the CVA put together by Charles Green.
At that point Rangers died, liquidation began, there was no journey back.
Creditors were left holding invoices while 7,000 Debenture holders lost the right to buy tickets for the Club Deck.
Just over a year earlier Craig Whyte had rolled a pound coin into the grasping hand of Dave Murray to take control of the debt ridden company.
Unfortunately for Whyte the deal involved Ally McCoist coming in as manager in a deal negotiated with Murray.
In August 2012 McCoist guided Rangers to European defeats from Malmo and Maribor, after that it was only a matter of time before the money ran out.
Unfortunately for Green when he bought Ibrox and Murray Park he found McCoist TUPE’d his contract to the new club with devastating consequences.
Over the course of 14 years the new club has won just three trophies, a detail that Hay is unlikely to include in his fiction ‘The Journey Back’.
@HRwritesnews Mr McGowan said: ‘As a Rangers fan it was a dream come true to be cast in a play about the club that you love. The relegation, the financial problems and the club experiencing administration.
Forgetting the big ending ????

@HRwritesnews Huns bumping creditors just makes the whole show even more realistic surely?
For added authenticity, he should run off with the Poppy Scotland collection tin too.
