    LOCK them up and throw away the key.

    The club I gave blood, sweat and tears for is dead.
    Whose fault is it? I don’t care.
    All I care about is the people who brought Rangers to their knees are punished.
    Tax evasion is a crime, everyone knows that. If you don’t pay your taxes you go to jail.
    It’s a white-collar crime that must have consequences.
    So if HMRC are really serious about liquidation giving them the best chance to investigate why Rangers failed, I want to see it done properly.
    I want to see the people who are responsible for running Rangers into the ground brought to book.
    I don’t know if it’s Craig Whyte or whoever.
    But I do know the culprit — or culprits — should be locked up.
    I’m still numb by the news 140 years of history has been wiped out in one fell swoop. It’s like a death in the family you know has been coming for a while.
    When it happens it still knocks you for six. It’s difficult to know what to make of it all. Too big to fail, that’s what I always thought. Or maybe it was more to do with not believing a club could be so badly mismanaged.
    This whole sorry episode has been one rat’s nest of corruption.
    So much of it stinks. It would take someone a long time to start piecing together all the rotten bits of this jigsaw.
    But time might be something HMRC have if they are so determined to clamp down on tax evasion in football.
    When that happens I hope they show no mercy to the people who have destroyed Rangers.
    It’s the last thing the players deserve, the last thing boss Ally McCoist, below, needs.
    Same goes for the hundreds of staff who are in limbo now because of this mess. The administrators are saying all the jobs will be transferred to the newco. Will they really?
    Will anyone at Rangers go home tonight confident their wages are going to drop into the bank at the end of the month? Fat chance.
    There’s always protection for the rich, no matter how badly they mess up. Well this time it can’t happen.
    There’s a lot of people in Scottish football having a party right now.
    I’m not disagreeing about Rangers being punished.
    I just don’t understand why so many people are glorying in this.
    It’s not just the graveyard of Rangers these people are dancing on.
    There’s a real danger it could be Scottish football that dies a slow death because of this.
    I hope to God that’s not the case, but the people who are so quick to see Gers die have to be careful what they wish for.
    The whole thing is just so sad. I look back and think about all the medals I won at Ibrox.
    Leading Gers to Nine in a Row, the League Cups and Scottish Cups.
    One day Rangers will be back. They will wear light blue and play at Ibrox Stadium.
    But it won’t be the same club I played for.
    A lot of people are saying starting again in the Third Division is maybe the best thing to do.
    That doesn’t change the fact none of this should have happened in the first place. The really sickening thing about all of this is it was avoidable. All it would have taken for that was for someone to be honest. Pay your dues, give the tax man what he is owed.
    Instead Rangers have died.
    Despite what some think, that’s a DISASTER for Scottish football.
    The SPL will go on and Gers will form a newco and limp along until they find their feet.
    But we won’t come through the other side without some pain.
    All the clubs in the SPL will suffer because of Gers’ demise.
    I had Andy Goram on the phone as soon as I woke up and he couldn’t get his head round it. Like me, he wanted answers.
    But if that’s how two guys on the outside feel, how does Coisty feel when he’s at the heart of it all?
    He’s kept Rangers together this season. Now it’s unravelling at a rate of knots.
    How does he even begin to get his head round it? What happens now for him and for everyone there?
    You thought Coisty couldn’t endure any more than last season.
    Now it’s the end of the road, maybe the really hard stuff is only just beginning...

    This is bizarre.

    Medro's using the "Gough is a *****" angle to try and malign a Rangers legend just because he said Ranger's history ended yesterday.

    What a twat <laugh>

    So he's either a ***** not worth listening to or a Rangers legend who says your club is dead.

    Which is it Medro?

    The guy was 17.

    It's not Gough's fault we have homophobic disparity in the age of consent in this country <mischiefmaking>:bandit:
