If Rangers genuinely believed on the basis of advice at the time and subsequently, that no tax was due and the matter has only just now been decided by the courts, I understand why interest would be due, though I am less sure that the statutory rate would apply; but I don't understand why a penalty would be due as well? Surely a penalty (and interest at the statutory rate) would only be due if you withheld payment of tax agreed to be due or tax that a court decided was due?

Sir Alex Ferguson played for us of course and it's been said he is a supporter, no idea if that's true.

It's early days, Pete, we can certainly do that once the date is decided. I'm not really concerned about numbers at this stage; I just want the date finalised so that I can book the restaurant and arrange a guest speaker. Based on past experience a lot more people tend to come than participate in the voting; and on this occasion a number have said they have no preference and will come regardless of the date provided they are available. We can move ahead with the arrangements after the poll closes tomorrow night.

All understood thanks CS.

A reminder that the poll closes tomorrow night at 11.22pm.

Lunch time bump for Sunday voters.

Thanks to all those who have voted thus far. The poll remains open till tomorrow night.

He was also played out of position at FB most of his time at Ibrox.

Hope to see you again next year.

He will be more than welcome.

A champion like you will be more than welcome.

We'll likely beat them easy and then what will we think about Luxembourg.

All newbies welcome especially intellectual types such as you who will add some some stimulation and piquancy to the debate.

So far only 5 people have voted in the poll I appreciate that it's early doors but that's part of the reason for planning ahead. I also understand that some folk are ambivalent about the date. However I would encourage anyone who might want to attend to cast a vote. Thanks.

No place for Kranjcar in your team?

I accept your advice it's just not worthwhile.

I saw some great acts in the old Rangers Social Club; not the least of which was Mr "She Wears My Ring" himself, none other than the legendary Solomon King. He sang without a microphone, he just didn't need one.

I'm glad you made the point for me; I was certain you would.

Gutted I've booked to go to Aberdeen for an old main stand friend's leaving party; as she's off to Australia. I foresee a change of plans and a fast drive north after the match.

I included the Celtic game as requested in the revised poll and everyone is perfectly entitled to vote as they wish; but personally I would agree with Craig's final comment.

I can confirm that partner/spouses are more than welcome; Mrs CS has attended twice as has Mrs CM three times IIRC. We did have a young child at the first two dinners but we made sure he was not included in any pictures that were taken. Whilst some may find it a little inhibiting I don't have any objection provided the child is accompanied by a responsible adult.

I would appreciate if anyone who is interested in attending could vote in the poll.

It's a very good statement and I particularly like the final line "It's time to change the Record." However, the answer as is suggested and as SDM used to say at the AGM's when the Herald was the butt of criticism, if you don't like what they write don't buy the paper.

Dave Smith was of that opinion when he spoke at our dinner.

The Sun rep[orted the £500,000 figure https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/3944239/nottingham-forest-agree-bargain-500000-deal-to-land-rangers-winger-barrie-mckay/ The Nottingham Post reported £750,000, and I suspect the balance payment subject to various caveats such as appearances. Yes that part is supposition on my part but few if any transfers are paid outright these days. http://www.nottinghampost.com/done-deal-barrie-mckay-joins-nottingham-forest-from-rangers-on-four-year-deal/story-30424666-detail/story.html The Sun reported £6 million for Barry McKay https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/461821/rb-leipzig-line-up-shock-6million-swoop-for-barrie-mckay-as-rangers-plan-to-offer-the-winger-a-new-deal-to-stay-at-ibrox/ Other papers reported the same or similar figures.
