    Nice theory.


    How did that work out in Hearts' case?
    We wouldn't know.

    Any reports are treated in confidence. Once the report has been made, that's the end of it as far as the reporter is concerned. It's then up to the police.

    Due to the lack of any prosecution I think it is fair to assume that complaint was filed under B

    My understanding is more than one was made but of course they are still under investigation.

    Which would support my point. Complaints were made, and investigations undertaken.

    The same scenario would happen in Rangers case, and would be more likely to.

    Indeed.

    I reported a ex client under these provisions under the same legislation ten years ago along with (I.M.O.) cast iron proof from a third party.

    Today they still trade using "a similar name" and are on their fourth Phoneix Company with the previous 3 having ripped of H.M.R.C. for V.A.T. and P.A.Y.E..

    And you wonder why some of us think this legislation is laughable ?

    Anyway bring on Falkirk again

    Dave Kings's strategy will be to just stop paying things he doesn't like( aka the Rangers way) and the glib and shameless liar will say "see you in court".

    So ****ing predictable.

    Let's hope they have the same staying power and sense of morality as the south African tax man and judge!

    I'm guessing they're going to try and prove his loan deal/security is null and void. Good luck with that one

    Especially if they took and spent the money! It's a commercial contract validated by their actions.

    My Rangers supporting mate is heading along to Ibrox tonight, first time in ages, for the match against QOS and says it's a sell out. Hun hoards return lets just hope QOS do the business.

    As an aside, he told me his ST is in his brother's wallet and he is down south. It will cost him £5 to get a replacement ticket (£15 at Celtic Park according to his wife, a Celtic ST holder). Imagine the venting of spleens on here if something similar was in place at Easter Road.

    The more they spend on lawyers the less they spend on players. Hope this is long and bloody. BTW how is Paul Murray acting chairman ? Thought, as on board of liquidated rangers he was bared for 5 years ?

    Have i completely missed something here...Does DK not have to pass the fit and proper test before he becomes involved?

    Seems like the SFA are going to bend over backwards to help The Rangers....as the noise from them is non existant!

    I'm really becoming sick of all this crap...SFA should of stamped their authorite a long time ago surely!

    I think they plan to just ignore everything at Ibrox and hope nobody notices.

    In response to Rangers’ announcement, Easdale’s spokesman Jack Irvine issued a statement through the Press Association that read: “We are surprised at the announcement as you cannot suspend a director under the law of Scotland. We also note that they talk about an investigation. Sandy Easdale welcomes that as he has absolutely nothing to fear.”

    It really is beyond belief...but no surprise.

    And you wonder why our game is a laughing stock!

    Only in Scotland could something like this happen....

    Would there be any point in contacting the SFA to ask if they are going to start implementing the rules they make? Probably not!

    To be honest, I dont see the point. The SFA and the SPFL are democracies. They are made up of all the other clubs including Hibs. They are designed to take any flack from fans.
    If you really want to put some pressure on about this then the fans need to take it up with their own clubs.
    Have we asked Hibs why they are turning a blind eye to all this?

    Not sure what it is that Hibs are turning a blind eye to.

    Another club has internal squabbles. As long as it doesn't unduly affect us, it's not really our place to complain to anyone.

    Does all this removing and suspending mean the Newcastle lads will be sent packing too?

    But Murray is acting chairman. Is this allowed as he was director of liquidated rangers ?

    CWG, given the influence he appears to be exerting currently, would you consider him to be a 'shadow director'?


    (I'm not saying that means he has to pass the F&P test, it's more a potential infringement of company law)

    Hibs are members of the SFA who appear to be ignoring certain rules to favour another member. This could unduly affect us if it prevents us from being promoted.
    Hibs appear to be turning a blind eye to this.
    My point really is that fans love to have a go at the SFA or SPFL when really these organisations are only doing what the clubs want them to do.
    If you have a problem with the SFA or SPFL, you really should take it up with your club. Then you might start getting some answers.
