    I suppose it must be like a wean waking up on Christmas morning only to find out that Santa hasn’t been.
    Hehe. Another brilliant defence of the Great Glasgow Rangers. Why are they so good?

    Obsessed? I wasn't the one who dredged up a SIX month old post to glory in the survival of Sevco. That was you.

    You dismiss their cheating very lightly for a Well fan. They did it for almost 10 years and to try and compete we ended up in Administration stoney broke whilst they shafted every taxpayer in the country and a face painter.

    Ps There's nae Santa 🎅

    Coming from the same poster who posts more about Rangers on here than Motherwell and once vowed to stop going to Fir Park because the SFA wouldn’t strip Rangers of titles then I’ll take that as a compliment.

    But just for the record, you are factually incorrect about our administration event being the result of cheating at Ibrox. As I understand the period which Rangers were found guilty of using EBTs was between 2001 and 2010. Our administration happened in April 2002 following a period of financial mismanagement by Boyle from when he took over in 1998 so you are talking nonsense.

    I’m not defending Rangers for what they did, they got what they deserved in my opinion and ended up going out the game, but that has got nothing to do with us as a club and I find football fans with attitudes like the one you display where they are more interested in Rangers than the club they claim to support absolutely pathetic and deserving of ridicule.

    Ps….Sevco aren’t going bust any time soon so get it roon ye!

    Your so called facts are wrong.

    Rangers also operated another tax avoidance scheme for two former players, Tore Andre Flo and Ronald De Boer, between 2000-01 and 2002-03 known as a 'Discounted Options Scheme' - commonly referred to as the "Wee Tax Case". HMRC issued Rangers with a bill of about £4m for outstanding amounts owed from the discounted options tax scheme, which was settled, but has not been paid.

    I truly wonder what else they were up to under Murray pre 2000. We will never know as they shredded the records.

    Okay so I have to ask, what did that have to do with our administration event in 2002? Given that John Boyle allowed us to overspend recklessly for three and a half years up until that point.

    As I said earlier, the EBT scheme ran from 2001 until about 2010 so our over spending didn’t or couldn’t have been based on that. Even your claim about their dealings for the two players you mentioned happened over two years AFTER we started our reckless spending period.

    And you truly wonder what else they were up to pre-2000? Well who cares? (I know you do obviously) But it is clear you have absolutely nothing to substantiate your claim that we ended up in administration because Rangers were operating an illegal tax scheme.
