When you see the lengths the judiciary and police go to to try and protect “their” club from perceived attack (and the whole sheriff wood thing in the press now underlines it) , how hard is it to imagine that mere refs/officials are also doing the same ? Not hard at all.
A sheriff who owned shares in Rangers FC is to retire after it emerged that he colluded with a senior police officer before submitting a dishonest and misleading report during the botched police investigation into the takeover of the Ibrox club.
David Grier, 61, a consultant with the financial firm Duff & Phelps, lodged a formal complaint against Sheriff Lindsay Wood with the Judicial Office for Scotland last May.
Wood granted 22 warrants to police during the ill-fated fraud investigation despite regularly appearing at Rangers matches and social events and being said to have a framed photograph of the club’s stadium in his chambers.
The warrants included one in 2015 which permitted officers to raid the London offices of Holman Fenwick Willan, the legal firm representing Duff & Phelps.
This police operation was later found to be unlawful and “executed without proper safeguards"
The times have absolutely ripped this scandal a new one while tiptoeing around the huns liquidation and the fact their rancid, bigoted, thicko fans sat on their hands and watched their club die.
£40million in payouts, before we get to the costs of the investigations and the fallout from a blatant attempt to use the scottish justice system to attack some people who they thought were not doing what they wanted. . And he gets to quietly retire !!!!
