It's hard to fathom the turn of events faced by Rangers and even more frustrating to find that the EBT arrangements that attracted so much vilification from the BBC and the Scottish football family were lawful

Funny this how this forum's attitude towards tax evasion differs when the situation involves Barcelona as opposed to Rangers!

Any club trying to use bullsh*t penalty clauses or creative accounting to cheat the society that sustains them of tax revenue should be taken to the cleaners.

Club Statement

"RANGERS Football Club Limited (the "Club") notes the findings of Lord Doherty in the HMRC case against Rangers Football Club plc (Oldco) and shares the views of many fans that so much of what later ensued at our Club following the start of that investigation was avoidable.

"We are pleased to see the end of this sorry chapter in the history of Rangers FC, yet our greatest sympathy is with those who felt the pain of the last four years the most – our supporters.

"In spite of almost unrelenting attacks and setbacks they have never flinched from supporting their football club with all their energy and resolve.

"It is a matter for the authorities to explain their actions during this entire period that has seen the good name of Rangers severely damaged.

"Our focus is on rebuilding the football club and getting Rangers back to where we belong. That, in itself, will help right some of the wrongs our Club and supporters have suffered over the last four years."

Not going to comment on the different attitudes towards Rangers and Barca and the rights and wrongs at Ibrox (suffice to say that Murray, Whyte and Green have a lot to answer for) but it would good if HMRC were to spend a lot more time getting taxes out of the likes of Vodafone, Amazon and Starbucks to name only a few.
