David Murray tried to buy my club, Ayr United, shortly before buying Rangers. As the trophy count built up at Ibrox, I would often get Rangers fans coming up to me saying 'this is where you could have been by now.' It was also a common saying that Ayr's refusal to accept Murray's bid was one of the two great mistakes of Scottish football, alongside St Mirren sacking Alex Ferguson. These days, none of my Rangers-supporting colleagues seem to bring it up so often.

How could a club formed in 2012 have risen and fallen. The new club was formed and they were allowed entry in to the lowest division in Scottish professional football, even though they played a game or two without a licence. The suits at the SFA granted this even though they did not meet the necessary criteria. They were liquidated after a CVA was rejected, primarily by HMRC, who were owed millions in various taxes and penalties for Paye etc. The Paye that was due mainly on the salaries of the players, the same players who won the trophies, so, in effect, all that the players won was confined to the history books when the liquidation was rubber stamped.

[@WingsIsMyDaddy]

Excellent video as always, but I just wish it had gone in to more depth. Rangers have been severely hamstrung recently due to Mike Ashley effectively controlling the retail workings of the club. The retail side of Rangers (going by previous accounts) would help recover an extra third in the financial difference between Celtic with the other third of course being the European money. If Rangers intend to challenge Celtic then for now the club must be run at a loss, as Celtic have the £40 million from playing in Europe. In order to challenge, that money must not be a near certainty for Celtic and force them to lower their expenses predicting that while Rangers could up their budget with that money. In Scottish football there is a great effective difference in prize between finishing first and anywhere else in the league because of the Champions League riches Requiring any amount of money from shareholders isn't great for a business, however it is £4M to be given by several shareholders that is required, not just by Dave King. It's fantastic to see responsible covering of this topic, in Scotland it's mainly people who predict Armageddon or those who live on misrepresentation of facts. As Rangers chairman Dave King said: Much like when Rangers were dominant and getting all of the European money, all it takes is one win and the tables are turned.

Before I go all patter on you, it really is good to see a reasonable Rangers fan. Most of them are just like "'mon the blues" and "up to our knees in Athenian blood" so good on you. Now... "All it takes is one win and the tables are turned." Good quote. False. I'm guessing that one win is Rangers winning the league and being in the UCL? They still have to go through all the qualification matches against champions of Norway, Greece, Iceland, Poland etc. to get through which Celtic haven't made through plenty of times. Celtic will likely be in the Europa League if Rangers do win the league and since winning the qualification matches should be easy enough, they'll still get decent money from that competition. Now considering rangers do make it through to the group stages of the UCL. There's no way that they'll advance further. There'd be a major surprise if they came 3rd. If they do come third, they're in the same boat as Celtic. So no. 1 win will NOT turn the tables. Also, Rangers died years ago. Now Sevko just wear their mask. Thank you.

[@Roscododger]

Also, Rangers don't want to control their money. They don't sign youth players for future profit. They just seem to spend as much money as they can on players that will be useful that season just to stop 10 in a row. They're just hell-bent on stopping 10 in a row. That's why you seem to only sign 30+ year old English and Scottish players who used to be good. You're turning into a retirement home. A retirement home which has dartboards with Brendan's face on it.

[@Ching1888]

Stopped at the very silly "demotion to the Scottish Third Division" bit. The original RFC voted for TRFC to join the SPL in their place (note 2 separate entities, hence the need for a vote) but 10 other Premiership clubs voted against their inclusion. Lower league clubs then voted to let TRFC join at the bottom. Which is the true story behind their entry into Scottish Football and why they aren't still playing "friendlies" up the local park against Airdrie Utd, without SFA officiating or sponsorship deals....

Which incidentally, was very successful. We had to get through 4 qualifiers and had been the underdogs in our group. So to almost get out of it by taking it to the final game is quite an achievement. Domestically we haven't been brilliant, but neither has anyone else this season so everything is still wide open.

[@OldSethOnetooth]

Words which are thrown around a lot are "demotion" and "relegation" neither of which happened, a new club was formed and existed at the same time as the former club was placed into liquidation. The new club applied to join the entry level stage of the lower leagues and this was granted as the old club was wound up. As it is, apparently, the most successful club in the world and the best support in the world surely a whip 'round could have been held to stave of liquidation. Instead the fans allowed their club to go to the wall safe in the knowledge that their pet journalists in the Scottish media would spin the story to play on the Rangers fans sense of perpetual victimisation, it was all someone else's fault, pretty much anyone would do, at one point they appeared to marching against pretty much anyone they perceived to be an enemy, the BBC etc, and claims were made that the Scottish government should pay their debt, no real reason for this was ever given, they clearly felt that because of who they were they should never be allowed to fail, even when all of it was a downfall of their own making. David Murray jumped ship to save his own skin selling the club to Craig Whyte for £1, we were told here by the media that he had "wealth off of the scale". If anyone can believe that no due diligence was done re Whyte prior to the sale I have a bridge you may be interested in buying. Since then the club has gone through a succession of spivs and wide boys in charge with the current owner being called "a glib and shameless liar" by the judge when on trial in South Africa for 322 charges including fraud, racketeering, money laundering and tax evasion, he took a plea bargain and plead guilty to 41 charges of tax evasion. The club has no line of credit with banks as they're seen as a basket case with a dodgy owner so not much has changed in the last seven years.

They weren't demoted. They went into administration then ceased as a business. A new club took their place in the form of "The Rangers" and they were PROMOTED into the bottom professional league, when no other club would have been in the same situation. The Scottish football authorities along with The Rangers continue to pretend that they're the same business and club as the old one, without the legal and financial liabilities of the old one. But they're not fooling the rest of us. Happy to clear things up.

Genuinely curious how anyone could dispute that ebts gave rangers an unfair sporting advantage. Whether its legal or not it was cheating

[@gazzamac06]

Because if it's legal it's not unfair. It's really not a difficult concept. If a company, not necessarily a football club, have an avenue to reduce costs legally, it's the director's fiduciary responsibility to do so. The scheme was perfectly legal at the time and so to retrospectively change the goal posts is simply not fair, regardless of your ethical opinion on the scheme in the first place. I do find it amusing the moral crusaders within Scottish football, especially those within Celtic, who also operated a tax evasion scheme via a false film production company loophole. That scheme hasn't been investigated by HMRC yet. So I would ask the question, is moral compass dictated to by timing or clever documenting? With Scottish football it would certainly seem so.

The financial basis of celtis success was built by mccann not desmond. Essentially Celtic under McCann and since became self financincing. Rangers cintinued to borrow. Celtic could not buy better players than rangers in the 2000s. Rangers always spent more but Celtic under O'Neill spent much better. Celtic were simply run much better with a smaller but more sustainably resourced budget. Rangers collapsed because when hmrc came calling they found they were no longer dealing with the Scottish football authorities which had colluded and conspired in their cheating and sectarian behaviour for a century. Rangers as the sporting wing of the 18th century don't fit in modern world. It is testament to Scottish football's parochial attavism this is not realised.

Excellent video, though I'd like to add a point. The demise of Rangers was as much to do with HMRC putting pressure on Lloyd's over hypothetical debt as it was over the careless and foolish running of the club's finances. Rangers were in debt, but the debt was manageable until (in my opinion) HMRC wanted to make an example for richer clubs elsewhere in UK to follow.... HMRC put EBTs out there now wanted to drag it in back along the sea floor, Rangers catch of the day and already in a weakened, compromised position. There's circumstantial evidence to suggest Lloyd's were not the neutral players they once were, or more to the point, they were never neutral players themselves having a 'relationship' with Sir David Murray that lasted when the going was good for Murray's business interests. The legal latest is that EBTs are indeed legal to use, but are also taxable. This would have given Rangers a debt to deal with (possibly high but not as high as HMRC were initially putting on the table before Murray) and seasons of austere dealings in transfer windows.
