They should never have been playing european football that season. cheating bastards. The timing of this is deliberate by the SFA so that UEFA cant take any further action.

Game is totally corrupt.
Another Rangers violation re another tax bill - the timing of this action by the SFA is indeed breathtaking and disguised as actually 'doing Rangers a favour' - what a shocker and talk aboot a serial offender not being penalised properly!! Thumb down
This is about the SFAs governance as much as rangers fraud. I keep saying it but look who was at the SFA at the time 'EBT' ogilvy and andrew dickson (licensing committee) and on what board does the latter currently sit ?

This is corruption and fraud straight up, and on that basis UEFA should and can act.
I suspect that once this case is finally adjudicated, the judgement call will just be a lesser punishment of some kinda fine. The variation in punishment is a 'long piece of string' and the cynic in me says Rangers won't be punished as severely as they should be after applying a deception of an argument re their tax indiscretion that indeed violated UEFA rules!
This all stems from the evidence given by the former directors during craig whytes trial. UEFA know they shouldn't have got a license for that season and that's why the SFA are stressing they are reliant on the honesty of the clubs.

This is coming from somewhere,and I'm wondering if the SFA are trying to cover their arses here, remember how quickly and surprisingly regan bailed out ?
this is NOT and HAS never been about rangers either version its always been about the SFa and their cheating to help their favourite club

The SFA and the SPFL have lied to everyone in Scottish football about this, they moved the goal posts with the Nimmo smith investigation, they used the "imperfectly registered" argument and the "no sporting advantage" excuses to give them a reason NOT to strip titles, and a get out of jail card with the five way agreement.

but this was so obvious to see that this was coming
feck even I predicted it

I see that Under oath the Financial director has admitted that the discussed administration, couldn't afford the Big tax bill from board minutes: "The club has no value to offer settlement [to HMRC]", so if the big tax bill was upheld they where insolvent anyway, regardless of any other debts.

Also of interest to the res 12 people the date of the wee tax bill discussed, issued November 2010, with an appeal date of 31st December 2010 (no comment on any appeal raised)
quote from the FD Letter dated 26 November 2010, McIntyre confirmed Rangers accepted liability as there was a "side letter"

o dear that blows the SFAs claim that it hadn't crystallised by 31st march 2011 out of the water, so SFA stands guilty of giving rangers a European licence when they were blatantly in breach of FFP rules. " no social taxes over due" o dear ....

O and these are the prosecution witnesses wait till we get the defence ones


and finally the FD admits not disclosing information in the financial report of a PLC, specifically "Findlay notes financial report doesn't mention tax case liability or capital expenditure needed on stadium" and "McIntyre asked if he was ever concerned information was witheld from Whyte during takeover "I had a concern about salaries" he replies" "
Former Rangers stars face £24m EBT bill as Taxman's payback deadline looms.


Finally HMRC go after the players that entered willingly into these schemes. One of them barry fergushun has already claimed bankruptcy to try and avoid paying anything.
At last, HMRC making some kinda effective move against known offenders!
