Crown Office has instructed Strathclyde Police to launch a criminal investigation into takeover of Rangers in May 2011

IN FULL: Crown Office statement on criminal probe into Rangers

STV 25 June 2012 14:08 BST

A statement from the Crown Office said:
"The Crown Office has today instructed Strathclyde Police to conduct a criminal investigation into the acquisition of Rangers Football Club in May 2011 and the subsequent financial management of the Club.
"The investigation into alleged criminality follows a preliminary police examination of information passed to them in February this year by the Club administrators.
"The Procurator Fiscal for the West of Scotland will now work with Strathclyde Police to fully investigate the acquisition and financial management of Rangers Football Club and any related reports of alleged criminality during that process."

So Duff and Duffer did do something to justify their fees after all, namely grass the Huns up. Changed my mind about those chaps - worth every penny.

So, they wouldn't turn up if they were 25 pts clear but they would if it was 30?

Do you think he reads this pish back to himself?

Thanks, I wasn't sure which clubs had definitely nailed their colours to the mast at this stage. It's going to be very difficult for Rangers to get the votes they need. Celtic might actually vote for them due to money, but their fan will pressure will probably be key to a no. Killie and Motherwell have thrown it open to the fans, so I'd imagine a no vote. Aberdeen will vote no.

Since the Celtic Supporters Association has announced a boycott of clubs voting for newco, that would mean they had to boycott themselves.

Good I love the trip away to the Highlands, hopefully more of us can go up and support our team and help ease the financial burden on Inverness.

Rapid Vienna has went to UEFA and FIFA to complain that Continuity Rangers will receive the balance of the Jelavic transfer fee without having to pay them the balance of the original transfer.

Beeb Radio reporting that the Sheep have become 5th club to say naw to the Hunnewco, following ICT earlier in the day!

An historic day for Scottish football!

Do you think he reads this pish back to himself?

Do you think he can READ?

Or even chew gum and stand up at the same time?

These people - ALL of them - are in a frantic state of denial and self-contradiction because the gravy train they've travelled on for so much of their lives is now in grave danger (see what I did there?) of being derailed.

My guess is that there are lots and lots of squeaky bums all round Scottish football these days. If HMRC nail the Huns (and the word is that this is their dearest wish and firmest intention) do the Jambos really think the the guagers will then just walk away without nailing Romanov and HIS henchment at Tynie?

Or that all the other clubs that make up the SPL will, seriatim et privatim as my old Latin teacher used to say, come under the tax-man's microscope?

Or that Procurators Fiscal up and down the land are even now forming "football task-forces" to investigate the criminal allegations that may very well follow? Oiling the thumbscrews, charging up the car-batteries and polishing the electrodes and the crocodile clips, poring over their copies of "Ninety Years of Rubber Truncheons: Interrogation Procedures of the State Security Organs 1917-2007" for new and novel ways of getting the ****bags to talk.

Seriously, there'll be more than the Huns in pokey before this lot's over.

SSN reporting Aberdeen to vote no

Was difficult for Jim White to get his words out.

[Jim44]

Peter Lawwell will be keeping his cards close to his chest and hoping for the vote being cancelled. He won't have made any friends among his own supporters if he doesn't declare how Celtic will/would have voted but I suspect deep down they will be pleased that their 'ties' with their twin ugly sister will remain slenderly intact.

[Offside Trap]

I'd say Milne's statement also goes further than other clubs so far - and very helpfully so:

"If readmission were to be refused, we believe the appropriate course of action would be for Rangers NewCo to apply for membership to the SFA and to submit an application for admission to the SFL."

and

"Reorganisation of the game is a priority and is something we have been actively involved in for a long time, but it is not something that should be rushed through just to deal specifically with one club. As we have indicated there are a number of other areas that we feel need to be addressed openly in the coming period if Scottish football fans are to feel that their views have been properly taken into account."

So that's a firm no to a SevCo parachute into SPL2/similar.
