BEARGER

Lawyers acting for former Rangers boss Charles Green are appealing a legal decision which allows the club to not pay the businessman's legal bills, reports James Mulholland. The businessman's legal team believe judge Lord Doherty acted incorrectly when he ruled last month that Rangers aren't legally obliged to pay his costs. The 62-year-old entrepreneur is due to stand trial at the high court in the new year. Prosecutors claim he participated in a major fraud with Rangers owner Craig Whyte during his time as chief executive of the club. Mr Green's lawyers claim that a clause within his leaving agreement means that Rangers are obliged to pay his legal costs. However, Lord Doherty ruled that the clause within the agreement didn't cover the costs of any alleged criminal behaviour. On Wednesday, lawyers acting for Mr Green attended the Court of Session in Edinburgh to begin the appeal process. They now want civil appeal judges to rule in favour of their client. In a legal document issued earlier this year, prosecutors outlined the charges against Mr Green. They claim that Mr Green conspired with Craig Whyte, 44, and others when Rangers were in administration. It is alleged that the conspiracy was to take "de facto control and ownership of the business and assets of the club." Crown lawyers also claim that they conspired to acquire Rangers for a "sum considerably below the market value." It is alleged that the offences involving Mr Green took place between February 2012 and December 2013 at various locations in Scotland and Europe. Mr Green, whose address was given in the legal document as care of a solicitor's firm in Glasgow, is expected to stand trial in the High Court next year. He has not entered a plea to the allegations. On Wednesday, judge Lady Clark of Calton fixed a procedural hearing in the appeal case for January 15 2016. However, lawyers for Rangers and Green are not obliged to attend the hearing. They can cancel the hearing if they contact the court beforehand. The actual appeal hearing will take place at the Court of Session on January 29 2016.O

Nae idea. Seems to me that some do come up and others don't. Any nerds on who can explain to us mortals.

True story. Guy worked for me, rabid Tim. Known to take a small refreshment on a Friday night. They are playing Hibs on Saturday, he misses the Renton bus, jumps on train to Queen Street, then to Edinburgh, gets to Eatster Road with 5 minutes to spare. You are ahead of me now, games at Parkhead.

Ibrox will not be full on the 26th, nothing like it.

It takes only one of these cretins who are to appear in court to squeal and the lot go down.

That's what the LiondBrand do. Could be they could get together with others e.g. SOS and make this more permanent.

You watch Sportscene?

Game is off today.

All he seems to do is score goals, he does have experience of playing to big crowds though.

Nobody with less than 300 posts should be allowed entry, just saying. Well done ya jammy B.

There did not seem to be the same campaigning from the fans groups and forums this time to encourage us all to vote.

Read somewhere ( here ?) that this would not be classed as requiring a quick decision and that it could be 2017 before getting to court. Court is still deciding on cases from 2013!!

As the curtain draws on another Tour season we'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who joined us on the Founders Trail and Ibrox Stadium Tour during the last year. 2015 saw us take more people than ever before around Glasgow on our journey of discovery. We've made new friends and met some wonderful characters all brought together by the Rangers family. A special thanks goes to Calum our bus driver, the staff at Partick Bowling Club, the Tour Guides at Ibrox and our resident gardeners at Craigton Cemetery who take great care of the McNeil and Struth plots. We recently had a long awaited but very productive meeting with the Club regarding the Founders Trail and Ibrox Stadium Tour, the Rangers Graves Restoration Project and our Founders Presentation Events. The Founders Trail will return in February with an expansion on the Founders Story and new locations. Our first Tour dates for 2016 are as follows: Sunday 28th February Sunday 13th March Sunday 24th April. Just send an email to thegallantpioneers@googlemail.com to reserve your place. Thank you. Iain and Gordon. Should have said lifted from elsewhere.

Me too. Sometimes we can forget that we are all bears.

We are talking specifically about Celtc here. If we can fill the ground with ST holders, they get a corner. Win win for the club.

This antipathy towards a Bear who actually got of his arise and did something is typical of some fans. It's David Edgar all over again.

This will be another test for our board. But if we sell enough ST's they will have to act accordingly.

The question was asked at the RST AGM re them getting whole Broomie and we get a corner at San Giro. So let's hope there will be changes next season, first we have to sell enough to ST"s but hopefully it's a new era.

http://spfl.co.uk/docs/067_324__therulesofthespfl_1375800603.pdf Page 72 clause 126 onwards. Seems that John Gilligan was correct. Sell out Ibrox next season and keep them out or or at least in corner.

How many tickets are we obliged to give visiting fans? Is there a SPFL rule to cover this? Reason I'm asking is that John Gilligan replied to a question about them at Ibrox that the more ST's we sold the less seats available for them. Now I'm not sure that is correct due to the fact that family section ST's did not give entrance to Celtc games and Broomie is given over to them. All assuming we go up this year.

You do have a problem with Craig Houston don't you.
