    I listened to the news on my radio this morning in rapt attention as they spoke to another businessman (a Govan shopkeeper) who warned of the dire consequences should Rangers go under. His trade would be badly affected should anything happen to Rangers he said.

    Sales of rolls and tattie scones, crisps and Irn Bru would drop off dramatically in the Govan area, this will have a domino affect and undermine the whole stock market. Mortons the bakers, Walker's and Barr and Co face financial ruin should Rangers fall.

    Well call me a cynic but that seemed to be the underlying message in this ongoing campaign to "Save Rangers at all costs". The media are intent laying out a doomsday scenario for us poor schmucks who do not comprehend the full economic impact of this potential armageddon. I envisaged some sort of post nuclear holocaust with shambling, zombie-like out of work badge sellers, hamburger stand workers, Lees Macaroon bar and Wrigley's spearmint gum vendors, gaunt and sallow faced as they wend their way round the confines of an empty Ibrox, pointing at passing strangers like Donald Sutherland in Invasion of the body snatchers.

    I have no doubt that Tennent's, Audi and all the other Rangers sponsors will be wheeled out in the full glare of hand-wringing publicity over the coming days, to warn everyone that their business will be affected if the Government sit on their hands.

    And I fully expect a statement from the head of the European Bank in the next few days.
