MORE than 13,000 Rangers fans have signed an e-petition calling for a Government probe into the HMRC investigation that led to the collapse of the club. And they want to know why confidential information held only by the taxman found its way to bloggers and internet sites hostile to the Ibrox club. The e-petition was launched by fans groups’ and backed by Ayrshire Central Labour MP Brian Donohoe, chairman of the Westminster Rangers Supporters’ Club. More then 13,000 people have signed up in less than 48 hours. The fans need 100,000 signatures to force a Government response. Donohoe said: “I am giving this my full backing. If we hit 100,000, we’ll get a minister to the despatch box.†Earlier this week, the club’s former owners won their appeal against a tax bill over their use of employee benefit trusts. The club, who are now in liquidation, used the scheme to make £47.65million in payments to players and staff in the form of tax-free loans. HMRC challenged the payments but a First Tier Tax Tribunal ruled they were loans that can be repaid.

Donâ??t be clowns.. let Gers keep the crowns By JOHN HARTSON Published: 1 hr ago 0 RANGERS arenâ??t my favourite football club. Never have been, never will be. But throughout all the allegations of financial wrongdoing Iâ??ve not once said they should be stripped of any SPL titles. To my mind their players won their medals fair and square. Even if HMRC found them guilty in the EBT case I wouldnâ??t have changed my mind on that. Whatever the outcome, the lads who wore the light blue shirts did nothing wrong. They were told the arrangement was kosher. Punishing them by taking away their achievements would have been totally wrong. Thatâ??s how I would have felt had it been Celtic in the dock from my time there. I worked hard for the silverware I won. I scored big goals in big games and deserved my success. If it emerged tomorrow that Celtic as a club had done something wrong behind the scenes then that wouldnâ??t have anything to do with me. I wouldnâ??t be happy if someone even suggested our team could be stripped of titles. Thatâ??s why I always looked at it from the point of view of the Rangers players. Some didnâ??t go along with that. And the SPL commissioned an independent enquiry into how Rangers paid their players. That investigation is still ongoing. But having been cleared of tax-dodging by three High Court judges this week thatâ??s what I donâ??t understand. Rangers have no case to answer now. Certainly not in terms of any crime which should see past championships declared null and void. I know the SPL tribunal isnâ??t looking specifically at EBTs. From what I know, theyâ??re trying to determine whether or not the club paid dual contracts which were against SFA rules. Ultimately they could be found guilty of that even though they won their Big Tax case against HMRC. But I just donâ??t buy it. The two things are strongly linked and if judges have decided theyâ??re innocent of tax offences, then the other accusation seems nothing more than a paperwork issue. Maybe itâ??ll turn out they did pay their players with contracts which are against SFA policy. But is that a huge crime? is that something worth taking titles for? Thatâ??s just not right. Bottom line for me is that the tax case Rangers won earlier this week left a lot of people with egg on their face. Iâ??m talking about people who pointed the finger of accusation without knowing all the facts. Iâ??ve been critical of them myself. Iâ??ll admit that. I maybe jumped the gun like others. And right now I understand the anger which must be felt by a lot of Rangers supporters. The EBT case wasnâ??t the reason their club was kicked out of the SPL and forced into the fourth tier of Scottish football. But it didnâ??t help, did it? David Murray was skint and with pressure coming from the bank he desperately needed someone to buy him out. Because of the looming tax case â?? which carried the threat of a £75million bill â?? few people came forward. And the club ended up in the hands of Craig Whyte. It was his decision to withhold PAYE and National Insurance which sealed Rangersâ?? fate. That was unforgivable. But I can understand the argument that it all stems back to the initial HMRC investigation. SPL chairmen clearly had that at the back of their minds when they considered how to deal with Rangers after theyâ??d plunged into liquidation. They watched their most valuable players walk out the door for nothing in the summer and are now facing a long road back to recovery. There has even been talk of Rangers now suing HMRC for lost millions â?? and you have to say they have a very good case. The club maybe even has a claim that they should be reinstated back into the SPL. But thatâ??s not going to happen.
