’He’ll probably struggle’ Lawyer who helped Craig Whyte buy Rangers given green light to return to practice by legal watchdogs

 

Gary Withey, 53, was given permission to work after Whyte was cleared of fraud in June

 

THE lawyer who helped Craig Whyte buy Rangers has got the green light to return to the profession.

 

Gary Withey, 53, was given permission to work from legal watchdogs weeks after Whyte was cleared of fraud.

 

It came despite a court ad*mission he wrongly used £3mi*l*l*ion of pension cash as “pr*o*of of funds” in the 2011 deal.

 

A source said: “Although he’s allowed to practice law everything that’s gone on has left him tainted.

 

“He’ll probably struggle to attract clients who could be put off by everything that’s come out over the past few years.”

 

Withey, an ex-partner with solicitors Collyer Bristow, beca*me club secretary after helping Whyte’s Ibrox takeover.

 

He didn’t apply for a certificate to practise in 2016 after being hit by job restriction penalties.

 

The brief, who earlier had fraud proceedings against himself dropped, gave evidence at Whyte’s trial this year when he accepted he’d boobed over the pension fund cash’s status.

 

The Solicitors Regulation Au*thority ruled there was no need for conditions on his practising certificate, issued last month.

 

I hope the c**t's next shit is a hedgehog walking backwards with a limp.

I'm sure there are plenty of dodgy characters out there who would appoint a dodgy lawyer.
