Either everything is going to perfectly to plan for Whyte or our club as we know it will be flushed down the pan. There is no middle ground. I won't be drinking champagne for a wee while yet.

Of course but if, as expected, he wants fans to buy into his proposal then he'll need to show us why he (and his plan) can offer the club a future.

Murray's 'Blue Knight' plan is as valid as anything else with club struggling so badly. However, he lacks credibility amongst many fans so will have to go a long way to prove his scheme is worth buying into.

The Rangers Joint Action Group is such a vehicle. Again, like the Trust, I'd hope there is genuine progress in terms of what it can achieve during such difficult times. It's certainly not a time for people to say this person or that group are unsuitable. However, everyone has to prove their credentials.

The Trust have to be very careful where money is concerned mate so I'm glad they're clarifying the £10 is for a membership only - no share offered either nowadays. It's not a huge amount of money but they have to offer good value nonetheless. To be fair, they've been active in the media of late and have said all the right things so fans can make up their own mind about how important they are. Hopefully they can make some big steps forward over the coming weeks.

I think it is right that the Trust are looking to deliver clarity during this important time. In saying that, it's difficult to advocate joining them as I'm not sure they've done a great job in recent years but they've certainly been a bit more vocal recently. Administration was always probable so hopefully they've got a plan ready for this eventuality. Once they reveal details of that and how the mainstream support can help, then it would definitely be worth your consideration. As an aside, I'm told there is growing interest for a consortium led bid for the club (not via Paul Murray either) with direct fan involvement so we'll see what comes of that also.

Nice to see you mate...

Welcome to Gersnet Gaz...

RFC now officially in administration

Court of Session reconvening - I'd imagine this will be Rangers supplying confirmation of Duff & Phelps' appointment.

No, but I'd expect it to be a formality.

It is perhaps preferable that we have someone looking after our interests as opposed to the HMRC's.

David Grier of Duff & Phelps will now lead the way: http://www.mcr.uk.com/person.html?id=43

Agreed. I'd have thought this was now a formality but you never know.

Rangers have until 3.30pm today to appoint their administrators or the HMRC case stands.

I'd imagine today because of the pubic interest.

Depends on how long the judge takes to consider his verdict.

@stvlocal Lawyer for Rangers told court paperwork on its way to appoint administrators. HMRC questioned the validity of this move.

Former key club figures were talking about the PAYE stuff at the Cash for Kids lunch before Christmas...

Apparently we're going into administration today - regardless of HRMC outcome.

Guys, I'd like to remind you to please keep the debate civil and avoid making personal comments about other members. This is going to be one of the most difficult periods in the club's history and speculation will be greater than ever before. That's good for debate but inevitably opinions and analysis will differ. Please respect such differences of opinion and remember we're all bears together.

Cousin has signed.
