ADMIN 2? THAT’S MORE AYE RIGHT THAN AYE READY

Laughable net gossip haunts Gers but it’s a sign club lack real leadership in boardroom TOP TWEET

SO, that will be Rangers heading into administration then.

What do you mean they’ll make the announcement on Monday?

My sources (a friend of a friend of a friend) was packing the bags of Dave King’s mum in Tesco and heard her on the phone to her boy in Johannesburg.

It’ll be announced on Wednesday morning at 10.37am on the button.

Apparently it’s a pre-pack deal (the administration, not her shopping) and the Ibrox chairman will receive £10million, walking away to be replaced by a consortium fronted by Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un.

Further investors will include Bradley Walsh, Paul Sinha, Anne Hegerty and Mark Labbett, offering conclusive proof Rangers do, indeed, welcome The Chase.

As Rumours go this latest one has been hanging around longer than anything recorded by Fleetwood Mac – and has enjoyed just as many re-releases.

Like the first cuckoo in spring, swallow in summer and robin in winter, the sightings of “Rangers in administration” are certainly consistent and time and again have proved to be nothing other than pie in the sky.

King and the Three Bears – Douglas Park, George Letham and George Taylor – have invested heavily to wrestle control from the discredited former board and put their club on a firmer financial footing in the last three years.

Conservative estimates put the total at around £20m, much of it from King himself, who has given a further undertaking to auditors Campbell Dallas he’s good for another £7m to underpin business losses over the next 12 months.

Campbell Dallas are hardly a firm of backstreet bookies. If they felt there was any likelihood of those sums being unavailable they would not have signed off in the annual accounts on Rangers continuing as a going concern.

Speaking of the bookies, they apparently closed their satchels on “@Raybar180 Today 20 years ago I won my first World title, I thank you all for your support and hope you want to stay in the Barney Army for the next 5 years. Raymond van Barneveld.”
