Arrest warrant raised for Craig whyte for failing to appear as a witness at a prosecution HE demanded.
The court heard at the case of his two accused housekeepers ( who he prob didn't pay!) his estranged wife phone him (he, s in France) he said he, d been counter-manded? ( no longer reqd) judge said rubbish and he, d personally been served papers to attend.
Looks like Craig whyte has some time in the big noose waiting on him when he comes back to Scotland.
Come home Craig, I'm sure the rangers fans inside would love a chat with you

I wouldn't be in the least surprised if the court known this was the easiest way to get craig shyte and serve him with an indightment for the trouble he caused at rangers and believe me this is a tactic used in lots of countries including scotland

This is rather ironic.
I'm sure that Whyte expected the case to be dismissed, but what has happened is that a warrant has been issued for his arrest.
Oh well. I'm sure there won't be many who will protest.

After what he done to Rangers he gets away scot free, so he decides not to turn up to court as a witness and he gets an instant arrest warrant. when does the arrest warrant get served for what he done too Rangers.

We shouldn't forget the man kept our club going by using due tax to fund the running costs. Try and imagine the scenario if we had simply gone bust mid season! The guy is a rogue, but we owe him big time. Had enough of the simplistic spin that he is to blame for our woes.

Are you serious this guy done nothing for our club apart form almost kill it. Before he came to the club Rangers where steadily bringing the debt down while successfully competing on the park. He came in and decided not ta pay anything including tax so how on God's earth can you say he was good for our club

We were only "slowly bringing down" the bank debt. Not the squillions we owed to every tom dick & harry up and down the land. We were doomed well before whyte even heard of rangers. Blaming him is just the pro-David Murray spin and i'm sick of hearing it. Its so naive I can't believe it still gets an airing. Not that I like whyte, but David Murray is to blame, plain and simple.

Actually no Craig Whyte at Ibrox and who knows if there would even be a Rangers today. I don't want to praise the guy and he was out of order with PAYE & NI but to be fair to him he didn't steal that money, that money went into Rangers when the club was on its knees after 2 quick exits in Europe.

Lot of hypocrisy surrounds the guy usually from the punters who were his biggest supporters & I for one lay the blame for administration & liquidation on the man who was DUPED by Whyte, lol.

@5. dream on.

"Before he came to the club Rangers where steadily bringing the debt down while successfully competing on the park. "

We were making losses and shipping £6-£8 million out each year in EBTS. if we had paid down debt insead of EBT we would still be in CL!

We used to get £18m for next 3 years shirt sales. £18 million upfront. now we can't get a penny - cash on sale only.

SDM wanted RFC loosing money to avoid tax. EBTS to pay and avoid tax. no wonder no one would buy us. we corrupt to the core.

Whyte clear says to Green on tape that HE DOES NOT TRUST D&P - he was right.

D&P and Green screwed RFC for £5m in d&p fees and illegal sale of assets under value to Green not whyte.

N6 the debt was being paid off fairly quickly in 3yrs ws reduced debt from 37mill to 18 mill the reason nobody was to interested in buying was because of hmrc thinking we owed them zillion witch we didn't if people had known outcome of tax case many people would have tried to buy rangers hinesight would be a wonderful thing

@10 No, what everyone seems to conveniently forget is the "£140m" list of debt published by D&P when they analysed the books. That included around £75m worst case scenario potential debt to HMRC. It didn't include the £18m that had recently been paid to Lloyds. That means we owed about £65m to tom dick & harry. that's right, £65m in debt and no credit line from a bank because that had been withdrawn during SDMs tenure. So liquidation was inevitable, whyte or no whyte. And SDM was to blame. Plain and simple. And let's be honest, we all knew it was coming, probably for 2 or 3 years. We were just hoping it was somehow not true. That's not hindsight, that's a true and accurate memory from a bear who is prepared to call it as it is instead of going along with the "blame everyone else" bs.

N11 if hmrc hadnt started shouting for money we never owed rangers would have found a reasonable buyer I don't blame everbody else but hmrc did not help our cause

Rangers are after 3 players 2 defenders and a right back I believe berra hately and bikey are the players we are after

10 Jun 2013 08:52:38
All the serious rumours flying around seem to be for midfield and forward players, are we getting bocca and goian back is that's the reason! Personally I'd sell them any thoughts

Will anyone buy them?

Quality centre backs better than anything in spl

Goian has stated he is retiring once his loan spell is done he won't be back
