Just watched Alex Thompson's latest report on Rangers on C4.

Firtsly, it's an outrage that the Scottish media failed to investigate this and it takes UK national media outlets to properly investigate this, namely the BBc and C4.

Tonight he looked at the payment of EBTs which were paid to Martin Bain, John Greig, many players and coaches.

Thompson has documentary evidence that shows that Bain asked for a salary increase and a bonus payment to be paid through his EBT.

If you salary increse and bonus are not contractual matters subject to PAYE and NI, then I don't know what is.

Paul Baxendale Walker, who was heavily involved in providing Rangers with advice on EBTs stated that Rangers problem is "that they did domething else" to that which was advised.

The EBTs were administered by MIH and they have confirmed that none of the loans paid through the EBTs have been repaid (not that you would expect them to be).

If this is typical of the EBT schemes that Rangers were runing then the outcome of the tax case against them looks very much in favour of HMRC.

Funny how martin bain just dropped his case against rangers. what a face saving coincidence. wonder if w. smith and a. mccoist have been "loaned money" through this same scheme?

I'd bet your bottom dollar that they have and also that f*d Amaruso who's been bopin his chops over the last couple of days.

The other thing which I never quite twigged (although obvious) that C4 revealled tonight. Rangers would have saved on the Employee NI costs (around 12.8% at the time) on monies paid into EBTs and not paid through payroll.

Rangers fan here. I just want to say Im disgusted with the 2 clowns who have now been convicted for their crimes towards Neil Lennon. I 'hate the hatred' and my message to them and any others is we can love the Rangers without the bad stuff....so not in my fvkn name! GTM

Well said another gers fan here don't think what i think about these two moron's can be posted total scum

Good to see decent Rangers fans showing their support for Neil Lennon.

I know that all decent Rangers fans will wish their best to Stillian Petrov, as would all decent Celtic fans to any Rangers player in the same cirumstaces. Thank you.

THanks x

Well said guy's maccabhoy

Well said GTM. Sound words indeed my friend.

Rangers fan here i agree this shouldnt happen in football im discusted too peace no manager deserves this

Big thank you rangers fans for your support

Unfortunately we have morons from both sides of the divide. It's both uplifitng and reassuring to see good honest decent football supporters post messages of support. Rangers are just our rivals in football, nothing more nothing less.

cheers

I hope my fellow Celtic fans will join me in wishing Stilian Petrov a swift return to health following the breaking news that he has been diagnosed with acute leukaemia.

Best wishes to Stan and his family. I remember him coming to Celtic as a raw 19 year old and the laddie had class written all over him. Not everyone appreciated him at first but I knew the boy had it. He is a brave hard working player who never shirked a tackle, remember the ankle break midweek against DU (I think) they reset it on the pitch. His goal against Rangers at Celtic Park when he darted in at the back after Sutton had opened the scoring I will never forget, what a day that was at paradise. We missed you when you left and even now I check how you've played or if you scored with Villa. Big John and the Celtic family I am sure will be with you every step of the way. I personally can do nothing but send my good wishes sympathy and prayers. Get well soon Stan, with a hooped shirt on your back you were and still are the man. Sopot Celt

"I suspect he simply explodes at the side of the park" These words were
written by ex ref Kenny Clark and published in the S*n. Considering the
court case going on regarding low lifes sending nails etc through the
post to Neil I find Clarks integrity questionable and his qualities as a
journalist crass. He should be taken to task and made to apologise for
his actions. CM.
