I read somewhere else Jamie Burrows looked the part. Anyone else?

Rangers Under 17s won 2-1.

Traynor has come away with this on the Radio 'Whyte has already sold some of Rangers history, and fans of a certain vintage will be horrifed'.

Whatever the outcome in the end it is the fans that will suffer.

He will consider gifting his shares to Rangers fans at end of Administration process.

On twitter STV say CW admits using Ticketus money 'to complete takeover' of Rangers.

This is the panel that will investigate Rangers. Lord Nimmo Smith, who was one of the five judges in Abdelbaset al-Megrahi’s failed appeal against his conviction, will head an independent panel which will investigate possible breaches of the SFA’s Articles of Association. The panel will also include Professor Niall Lothian OBE, a Past President of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland, Bob Downes, former Director with the BT Group and currently Deputy Chairman of the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency, and current SFA chief executive Stewart Regan.

For Tannochside Walter Smith will be handed a massive January cheque book if Scots billionaire Craig Whyte succeeds in his £30million bid to buy Rangers. The lifelong Light Blues fan is heading up a consortium that includes Andrew Ellis and emerged last night as the man who could restore the Ibrox club's fortunes on and off the pitch. Talks are at an advanced stage and if a deal is closed cash-strapped Smith will be able to strengthen the threadbare squad in his bid to capture three titles in a row. Smith is growing increasingly concerned about the limited number of players at his disposal as he tries to bow out on a high. But if 39-year-old Whyte rides to the rescue Rangers fans can look forward to a January signing spree - provided the deal is concluded quickly. And sources in London last night were adamant Whyte and his group would press home their interest. As a supporter, Whyte knows how important it is to strengthen the squad to stave off Celtic's challenge. The tycoon - Whyte became the youngest self-made Scottish millionaire in the 90s - is based in London and Grantown-on-Spey where he has been restoring Grant Castle at a cost of millions. Born and brought up in Motherwell, he lived in Monaco as his wealth started to increase but returned to Britain in 1997 and is eager to buy out Sir David Murray's majority interest and take Rangers forward. He is being backed by a group of wealthy individuals which includes London-based property developer Ellis - who tried earlier this year to launch a buyout bid of his own - but Whyte is the major player. He has always made his own decisions and so far the man who left school to pursue his dream of becoming an entrepreneur has been on the money. He started to make his fortune through a host of companies with interests in retail, construction, heavy plant hire, security services and industrial and office cleaning. And now Rangers fans will be hoping Whyte will succeed where Ellis previously failed. Ellis came close before but now he is involved with the billionaire it is believed Rangers' owner is so far happy with what the consortium have to offer.

Like most wingers inconsistent, but good on his day. Never heard anybody mention religion when talking about him.

The deal was completed when CW bought Rangers. If he had failed the money would have gone back to Ticketus.

What security did Whyte give Ticketus is another worry.

So does Rangers owe Ticketus, no matter what can be proven against Whyte?

I feel a bit sorry for GS, I think taken to the cleaners. I'm not sure he is bright as we thought he was.

Wonder where the overnight information came from.

The Administrators are in charge, they are hardly going to ban anybody.

We used to call them hen. Still do when the bottle is open.

Not resigned as Chairman.

How can they be owner of assets if the tickets have not been sold yet?

How do the Administrators decide, if there are 2/3 bids? Is it the highest bid or the one they think will be best for the Club?

Haven't seen this on here. From the Herald Mr Murray will meet with administrators Paul Clark and David Whitehouse of Duff and Phelps next week after noting an official interest in taking control of Rangers. This is his second attempt â?? he lost out when Whyte bought the club from Sir David Murray in May. He was removed from the Ibrox board not long after. Mr Murray has been in talks with HMRC to ascertain what Rangers' position is with the taxman. The former Deutsche Bank high flyer is set to launch his Blue Knights scheme within two weeks, with the goal of raising tens of millions of pounds to help fund the purchase and running of the club. That funding will be underwritten by prominent and successful Scottish businessmen who have already indicated a willingness to help save Rangers. Dave King, the South African-based businessman who was removed from the club's board last week, is also believed to be involved in the deal. Mr Murray's plans will be given high-profile backing by a plethora of Ibrox legends â?? including former manager Walter Smith, nine-in-a-row winning captain Richard Gough, and former midfielder Ian Ferguson. A trust fund will be established for payments to be made into, which will then become the vehicle used to complete any buyout of the Scottish Premier League champions. The Blue Knights scheme would offer investors one share and one vote for £1000.

Could you ever see anybody from Ibrox coming out with this, if the shoe was on the other foot. Apart from anything I don't believe the media would be asking the question.

I think however unsavoury Whyte is, and I have called him everything from a crook to a charlatan, it has needed this to get us on a sure footing.

Have a listen 2hrs 13mins in. Somebody who had to do with Leeds Utd. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/b01bycjn?rpSt=drive&rpSrp=4.0
