High Court First Instance - Rolls of Court


Recommended Posts

Former club owner Murray and the three ex-managers appear on a star-studded list of potential witnesses including chairman Dave King.

 

They are expected to take the stand in the event that Craig Whyte, Charles Green and five other accused should face trial.

 

Former Gers bigwigs Martin Bain, Alastair Johnston and John McClelland could also be asked to testify.

 

SFA chief exec Stewart Regan and SPFL counterpart Neil Doncaster have been contacted too.

 

An insider said yesterday: “It will be a line-up of some of the top names connected to Rangers and Scottish football. It’s going to be very high profile case.”

 

Whyte, 44, who bought the club from Murray, and Green, 62, whose consortium purchased its assets from administration, face charges in-cluding organised crime over the 2012 buyout by Green’s group.

 

They are due to make their first public court appearance at the High Court in Glasgow this month.

 

Also in the dock are David Whitehouse, Paul Clark and David Grier who worked for administrators Duff and Phelps.

 

Others served indictments were former Ibrox commercial director Imran Ahmad and ex-club secretary Gary Withey, who worked for a law firm involved in the takeover by Whyte in 2011.

 

They are accused of offences including conspiracy to defraud, attempting to pervert the course of justice and breaches of the Companies Act 2006 and the Criminal Justice and Licencing Act.

 

McCoist, 53, revealed last November he was contacted by prosecutors and there was a “possibility” he would be called to give evidence.

 

Whyte paid £1 to buy Rangers from Sir David Murray before it plunged into administration in 2012.

 

Yorkshireman Green was later appointed the club’s chief executive and floated Rangers on the stock market

" Charles Green's bid to have Rangers cover his legal bills will be heard in court on the same day as the first installment of his fraud trial.

 

The former chief executive of the Ibrox club, who faces four charges relating to the alleged fraudulent purchase of assets in 2012, claims a severance agreement signed a year later entitles him to have his costs paid by his former employers.

 

The bid to have his costs paid will be heard at the Court of Session in Edinburgh on Friday, October 16 in front of Lord Tyre.

 

At the same time, the first public hearing of his case will take place at Glasgow's High Court.

 

Rangers have previously stated they will contest the action by Green to have his bills covered.

 

"Charles Green approached the club prior to his arrest and demanded that we pay his legal costs in respect of his co-operation with Police Scotland in its criminal investigation into his time as an officer of the club," their chairman, Dave King, said in September.

 

"I advised him that we would not do so. He was subsequently arrested and has now approached the court to compel the club to pay the legal costs of his defence to the criminal charges.

 

"This application will be strongly resisted."

 

Green faces charges including involvement in organised crime, conspiracy, fraud and also under the Companies Act 2006.

 

He is due to appear at the High Court in Glasgow with six others to face the charges.

 

Former Rangers oldco owner Craig Whyte, former commercial director Imran Ahmad, oldco joint administrators David Whitehouse and Paul Clark, Gary Withey and David Grier were also charged. "
